Okay, assuming we all go for this, I need you guys to start something right now:

I need a PM from each one of you concerning the desired fate of your characters.

I need to know either "DEATH", "ACTIVE", "WALK AWAY", or, "NOT INCLUDED" for each and every character you have domain over.

"DEATH" means you want that character to be killed.
"ACTIVE" means you want to use that character for the new era (limited to one).
"WALK AWAY" means you want that character to exit the writings in a different form than being killed.
"NOT INCLUDED" means the character shouldn't even show up at all.

This doesn't mean I'll be the one to do it in the story. It just gives me an idea of who I CAN'T touch. No matter the status you choose, let me know explicitly whether you want to handle it in the story, or would rather I do it.

And, really, PMs. Don't just blab it out in the thread. That takes away the fun and surprise for everyone else.

This will give me an idea of who we're playing with, and why. And, I mean, ALL your characters. Everyone from your main one, to your subcharacters/girlfriends/etc.

I will say this, though...I cannot promise a truly superb and meaningful death for every one that you decide to kill, unless you do it yourself. That's the point of this story. In real wars, people are sometimes killed because they lose.

Thanks. I look forward to the PMs.
