☠️Your Death & Injuries

Death and Dying, and Injuries

Your Death

There comes a time when every character meets their end - sometimes in a glorious fashion, and sometimes, it's tetanus.

Things to remember about death:

1. The player always has agency over the death of their character. No one can force you to permanently kill your character with any RP or OOC action.

2. Death of your character can be conveyed through a number of emotes, statuses, and otherwise.

3. A Permadeath (or Perma) should be asked and then confirmed through whispers in chat, or in /me so this is logged as a CONFIRMED DECISION.

'Player 1: "/OOC: Perma?" Player 2:"/OOC: Yes, Perma" or "/OOC No" Repeat the confirmation - a Second Confirmation is required.

1. The use of 'no pulse' does not confirm a death in the Badlands, as we have many different magical beings who may not have a pulse!

2. Once the dead is confirmed, an Undertaker may be called. Avenues to discuss your end of life plans can be discussed either in DMs with your friends or via a ticket with other players, in the event of your untimely demise, but a ticket with staff MUST be opened, either by the player to the attending cunningfolk/doctor, to let staff know that the character has met their true end.

3. Wills don't exist here as there is no law - Once you are gone, your treasures go with you.

Injury to Death-- or not!

So, you took an arrow to the knee-- now what?

We've all been in that position where an unfortunate stray bullet, or arrow took off our character's head or limbs-- oops! Remember that it's actually up to YOU, the player, to determine your injuries-- you still must play out some sort of injury, but the extent of that injury is up to you. Simply because your character looks like they have lost their head, does not mean that you are dead.

Remember again; your death is up to you.
