You're allowed! And sure, kill off one if you'd like! It's just when it comes to Onyx Circle members, that's the only case where I'd like to be the one to decide if they've had it. If they get pummeled hard enough, they'll kick the bucket. As for Queen Taiya, she's the final boss. Things gonna get dicey if you try to take her on!

And I've killed off plenty of RP characters. PLENTY. What do I do? I just make others. Easy cheesy! I don't really get emotionally attached to my characters. Allowing characters to die makes for such good and valuable plot points. If Athena kills Phoebe, she'll be MARKED by Black Lotus for sure! And then imagine all the fun Noble will have then! But yeah, it does make things interesting. It happens all the time in video games and movies so... why not RPs?
Yeah I plan to read your story when I get the chance, I just really want to finish mine first so I don't accidentally steal anything.

Okay I'll probably go back and edit in the kill then. Phoebe is the only Onyx Circle member in that group right? (Just gotta make sure) And Athena can and will go after Queen Taiya if that's the path she's required to take to get her son back. Though I'm more excited in waiting to see if anyone will pick up on a secret Athena's been keeping that I've dropped a hint for every single post up until now.

So, define kill off a character, because it really depends on how you define that. I axed a few NPCs in the past but I'm not sure those really count because they're not like official RP characters, they're NPCs. Does that make sense? Perceval kinda falls into a gray area but I'd even argue if I had axed him it wouldn't have really counted as my killing off someone because he wasn't really developed all that much. Even worse some of the ones that died (like Madeline in PXRASE) were technically already dead. Where the line gets really tricky is in the other "A Single Element" RPs. Across the various iterations of the RP, I've created a ton of characters and wrote a variety of stories with them. Thing is, most of them were created already slated to die. I just sorta wrote their stories up until that point. So would that count? I'm not sure.
