Anyway, moving on:

Dying 101:

Aww crap! Did that noob just run you through? And there's no way to manuever your way out of it? Well, in dat case, here's some tips and tricks on going out with a bang:

Very Weird And Memorable Ways of Dying (warning: serious gore):

If you're in a fist fight and know you're going to get you;re butt then here's some ways to die:

Rib through the Heart:

Here's an example of a good way to do this (courtesy of CSI)

"I nearly doubled over as I felt a mind-numbing pain in my chest, blows rained down on my neck and back as I fell to the floor gasping for air. I felt my ribs, one was at an angle that one end was poking through the fabric of my tunic and blood was beginning to spread where it was. The pain where the rib poked through was nothing compared to the pain in the area where my heart was. Spots began to appear in front of my vision and blood rose in my throat..."

Do you still want to go on?

[fatalbeauty]

sure. why not. um when im killed then do i get a new chararctr or does i coem back to life or what?

[Nosteruionwen]

go on do go on.

[Scornful Pen]

Fatal: Yup, most of the time you can get a new character, in some places it's different.

Alright they're are six basic types of deaths:

Poison
suffocation/inhalation
Bleeding out
Beat to death
Burnt
Random sickness or disease

Alright, most of you are probably going to be beath to death or bled so we'll focus on those without giving you a biology lesson. But first I need you each to 'die' so that way I will knows what level of expertise you are so I won't tell you stuff you already know.

[Nosteruionwen]

i dont understand what you mean "you need us to die..."?

[Scornful Pen]

write your ideal death, and not in bed or in your sleep!

[Nosteruionwen]

oh.ok.would you like me to make up a name and all such as that

[Scornful Pen]

if you like...in fact, as your final exam you will have to role-play with me.

[Nosteruionwen]

Nosteruionwen felt the cold blade of a sword go right through her heart.Everything seemed to be going in slow motion..She fell to the ground with a thud.Her enemy stood over her face expressionless.Nosteruionwen stared in disbelief at the empty eyes of her enemy.She gasped and tried to breath,blood spewing out of her chest.Her vision suddenly started to fade..until it was darkness all around her.She only heard her enemy say "The Innocent will never last",before breathing her last breath and dying.

[Nosteruionwen]

ok,how much did it suck?

[Scornful Pen]

You have much potential! Heck, I wanted to know the setup of this fight, how it got there etc. and that's a feat. It's a tad bit off on the physical aspect of it, but that's to be expected. That 'breathing her last breath and dying' is like saying 'i ate the sandwich and devoured it.' So, no using two phrases that mean the same thing in a sentence. Other than it being slightly over-dramatic, which is also to be expected, it's very good! You get a B+

So let's see, we'll start with poison:

There are several basic types of dying from poison:

Your system shuts down in your sleep, which is always very dramatic if your character is married.
Your throat locks up so you can no longer breathe.
It's so quick and so potent that you fall asleep and never wake up.
You start coughing up blood and die (that's a good one because it's mysterious and leaves the 'police' a bit of a free reign).
You just freeze, you go stiff, fall over gasping, and whaddya know? You're dead.

Those are the ones that are normally done in poisoning. I've seen some combinations, but basically those are the extent of my knowledge.

Suffocation/Inhalation:

There's little to say about this but here are the basic symptoms in most cases:

Smoke inhalation, you choke, eyes go watery, get light-headed and nauseous, then you pass out and most likely burn or asphyxiate.
Inhalation of a poison, basically the same as the latter, sometimes you can choke up blood but that's about as far as the difference goes.

Bleeding out:

Here is a bit more poetic and stereo-typical death, this is the death you're most likely going to die every single time:

If you get shot/hit/chopped in the head, you fall over instantly, you can say gray-green goo oozed out of your wound, whatever. It's yours to mix up.
If your stabbed, you choke, hollywood says you ocugh up blood. So if you do that, you probably won't get in trouble. You can say a few words, then your vision get's foggy, you can't think straight KAWAAM!

I'll continue in the morning, I have to go hunt down a CSI lover and get them to tell me more...*stalk off* AIDEN!

[Nosteruionwen]

well...ok

[fatalbeauty]

ok here it goes

AS she turned she knew she had no chance. 'This is it,' she thought. There he was right in front of her with his sowrd raised high. She subconciously winced as she felt the searing pain then the rush of hot blood down her face. She fell to the ground clutching her head. As she stared up at his face to see a smirk, fierce and triumphent, as her sight faded.





ok thats pretty bad.
