Cantr II Discussion Forum

Like the I Am thread, except listing how you think your characters will die (assuming an in-game death not due to a heart attack).

If things keep going as they are:

...I'll never die. I'm too stubborn.
...I'll kill myself. The pain of loss is continually building, and some day, I just won't be able to take it anymore.
...I'll die the way I should have decades ago: chopped up by some mountain cultists that randomly nab me.
...I'll never die. I don't do anything that would put me in harm's way, and have no enemies.
...I'll die of a broken heart, though there's no telling how long I'll suffer before the end.
...I'll die in an ambush, cut down preemptively for the perceived threats of my growing clan.
...I'll be killed for my wealth while traveling, completely lost on my own island.
...I'll be killed in a coup d'état, either directed at me, or in defense of my sovereign.
...I'll starve. Someday, I just won't be needed any longer.
...I'll be martyred for my faith.
...That womanizer from Baaak will kill me.

It'll be interesting to come back here after actual deaths and see if I'm right.

I really like this, but I'm not so sure I'm creative enough for it....let me try :

...I'll die at the hands of those I once considered my friends....but who have now stripped my life away.
...I'll die as a casualty of a war I never really did get to participate in.
...I'll die of old age next to the man I love.
...I'll die of old age...and maybe boredom (content as it is.)
...I'll die at the hands of a man who thinks he can use me like the other one did.
...I'll die of old age, having accomplished nothing.
...I'll die of animal attacks.....or maybe my own, if no one can mend my broken heart.
...I'll die on my beautiful raker...in battle.
...I'll die of old age, in the comfort of his home.
...I'll die from stupid criminals who don't like to play games!
...I'll die of animal attacks or starvation...whatever comes first.
...I'll die proudly...
...I'll die by animal attacks or by the hands of a man.
...I'll die if just a squirrel attacks me...it won't take much more.
...I'll die by the hand of someone who knows I can't scream for help.

*is lacking a creative edge today*

I'll die...

...from eating too much sushi, if I ever get to make any. Or some newspawn will go insane because of my bad accent. *laughs*
---either by the hands of someone who hates my accent, or by the woman I secretly love because I hit her with a pillow. Failing that, I'll live to a ripe old age of seventy-six, which is when my player will get bored with me and send me off to die of the sleeping sickness and starvation.
===of grief and heartbreak because it's not me my love wants, but some other fool.

...Me? Die? Never! I'm on top of my game! The only thing that could bring me down is if I lost him...but that's not going to happen. Not on my watch. *shakes her head*
---in my old age, with the man I love by my side, if I don't die of starvation trying to get home first.
===of some pirate attack.

...whenever, however. It will happen when it happens, and it will happen how it happens. Maybe somebody will take my bluntness as an insult and outright kill me, and who am I to blame? Or we will be massacred like Dory, and I will die a somewhat honourable death.
---from starvation because I got carried away when trying to lose a few pounds. Failing that, I'll live to an old age while slowly losing my will to live, and be forced to carry on because the town I reside in will not allow me to perish.
===because I failed to put better restraints on my tongue or in some skirmish between us and people who have tried repeatedly to take what is ours.

...Really now? I'm hardly twenty-two. Now is not the time to be thinking of dastardly things such as death. Ask me in a few years, once I know more of the world around me.
---by the hand of someone who comes in and takes advantage of our primitive nature, or by animal attack in which I am too sleepy to gather berries to make raisins to eat.
===never. It's not going to happen. I have a town to take care of.

...at some point. Probably sooner than later. It's not as if I'm really doing the town any good anyway. Chances are it'll be by my own hand. Yeah.... accidentally "drop" all of my food and pick up a ton of sand, and slowly watch myself rot away. *nods* That sounds positively delightful. Or, if I'm lucky, pirates will come and cut out my tongue and shove it down my trachea, and I'll die a quick death. Yes, I actually prefer that.
---by pirates who take our ship and shove my tongue down my throat, ending my life quickly. Failing that, I will live longer than I care to as I watch myself waste away emotionally, physically, mentally, and socially because to take my own life would cause too much chaos despite my subsistence way of life.
===from sleeping to death, whether it be before or after I get where I'm going.

...by drowning when I go to sail and jump off the side to realise I can't swim. Hahahahaha! But at least I will have been doing what I wanted to do.
---by the hand of someone who is finally beyond agitated at my goofball ways. Failing that, I'll run out of food on my ship and die before I make my destination. If I make it to my destination, I will be brutally slaughtered by people not of my language.
===from animals' claws having too much of an infatuation with my skin and shredded flesh.

...probably from over-excitement and running in the road in front of a car. Or when some random group of pirates attack us and they pick on poor little me. *laughs* They had just better not mess with that weasel... or I will take them out with me.
---by someone who decides to take advantage of my gullibility and naïvity.
===from people who try to take over our homeland. I will be taken hostage and brutally slaughtered because I refuse to abide to my captors' every will.

===from random attackers.

===from skirmish between myself and people who misunderstand me.

I'll die being ambushed by sneaky pirates who were hiding out of sight and only left one innocent-looking person on the deck.

I'll die after docking to a town and finding it's in fact a pirates' nest or alternatively some sort of a dictatorship / another intolerable regime, and I refuse to trade with them out of moral reasons.

I'll die after being dragged somewhere or getting tricked to enter a building I don't have keys for because someone wanted my keys/wealth and didn't think I would share if you asked nicely.

I'll die in the hands of an angry mob after or during attempting some outrageous criminal endeavor for my own amusement.

I'll die in the hands of some group who acts seconds after the traveling or sailing trick, or alternatively after getting tricked into a building by someone I'd learned to trust. This will be done to get my keys.

I'll die a bloody death for insisting I was right and you're wrong and refusing to change my mind because - you're wrong. *crosses arms and pouts* Or alternatively after making a run for it and getting caught.

I'll die of consumption in my bedroom after it gets implemented, or alternatively I'll get depressed if my wife starts sleeping again and end up killing her and then myself.

I'll die in the hands of an angry mob after kidnapping someone because I was lonely.

I'll die by my own hand either through starvation or cutting. I'd rather get strangled to death while having good sex but how could I ever tell anyone of such desires let alone find someone who'd be willing to play along?

I'll die in the hands of some very bad meanie people and I'll be very scared and crying and wetting myself.

I'll die of starvation after people stop feeding me, or alternatively get killed by random pirates.

I'll most likely spend eternity in a half-comatose state because I can't die before I've finished my map.

I die in the hands of someone who's jealous of my stuff and doesn't know I'd be ready to share most of it.

...I'll lose my cool again and get cut down right where I stand.
...I'm tough as hell so killing me won't be easy.
...I'm harmless.
...I'll probably end up in someone's prison.
...I'll die of an exhausted heart.
...I may just kill myself.
...I'll fall in battle.
...I'm pretty safe.
...I'm too dumb to get into trouble.
...I'm too strong too die.
...I'll die from losing him.
...I'll die pretty soon if that alliance holds up.
...I'll fall protecting my adopted home.
...I'll be killed by someone who hates this leader.
...I'll probably live a long time if we don't accidentally kill each other in a mock duel.

I'll die from power-gamers exploiting the combat system.
*15

I'll die in a foolhardy attempt to avenge those I love by attacking an infinitely stronger person. Failing that, I'll survive for a long, long time, while those I love tear my soul into shreds by their deeds or deaths, for my self-preservation instinct is just too strong.

I'll die of ironic starvation in a place with plenty of food that I'll refuse to eat due to my code of ethics.

Alright, I'll take a stab at this...

-I'll die of old age, still humbly helping the Blackrocks, unless they get raided first. (yeah right!)
-I will die, happily in my memorial Hall, many many years from now, and willingly.
-Who said I gonna die? Um, not going to soonish, and living forever, right right?
-I'll die, laughing, or maybe under some handsome hunk that makes my heart explode. *giggles*
-I hope not to die, except in service to the Republic.
-Dying, would be, such a sad travesty, if my love were to live, still longer, without me.
-Dying sucks. Not gonna do it. Ever.
-One of these days gonna really piss off someone who doesn't like games, and wind up dead, won't I?

Just created my new batch of characters, but I have some hunches as to how they'll go down:

I'll die...

.....coughing my lungs out.

.....for being a dirty, no-good thief.

.....at the hands of some bandit.

I'll die
...of a very old age, on my ship, happy, with him right by my side.
...only if he breaks my heart again, but now highly unlikely. I could happily die of a "la petite mort", though!
...because of my damned tongue that doesn't know when to shut it!
...of boredom, if he doesn't wake up in time.
...of a broken heart, very soon.
...of a pirate attack, if what he said is true.
...trying to rid my island of aliens!
...by my wife, of her silence.
...hmm, don't think so... At least not for another good few decades.
...a peaceful death, in my sleep.
... while constructing machines, good way to go for me!
...on my ship, still sailing...

In a house, alone and of a broken heart.
In a fight, which I am ill equipped to win, defending a town I both love and hate.
In complete and utter frustration.
Of boredom.
Because of a curse (hopefully).
In obscurity, because I won't now leave this building and say hello to anyone.

and...
As a political dissenter... but, oh wait... that happened already *spits*

I will die, probably soon, fighting the strangers who took over my land.
I will die of hunger, trying to sail back to a land that speaks my language. I haven't spoken a word of it in 20 years. Can I still even speak it? Do I still even care?
I will die of animal attacks. Alone. Why doesn't that guy come back?
I will die trying to kill this man who doesn't speak. I don't like him. I don't like men.
I will die of longing, waiting for the man who shares my life, but not my language, to return.
I will die happy, away from this weird town, probably from being lost and hunger and animal attacks.

This seems a fun topic.

-Pretty sure I'll die and death might be closer that I thought. After all, she seems to be looking for trouble as much as I am.
-In this island, any day can be the day where some pirates dock here, kidnap me, rape me and kill me.
-I'll die like every great person has died in this town, sleep until I starve. Not yet though... not until I'm Great.
-I'll die at the hand of an angry mob, after killing my loved one. She seems to be giving up on me and I can't stand that.
-I'll never die. I'm too energetic to die.
-I'll die of starvation lost from my nomad clan.
-I'll die in this ship with the rest of my crew, very close to the island we were going to.
-I'll die easily in his hands, because I love his woman and sooner or later I'm going to do something about it.

I will die by the teeth of the wolves.
I shall never die! What a silly idea. Life is everlasting, if you devote yourself to it!
I'll kill myself, I guess. Alone, maybe up on a mountain.
I will most likely be killed in another ridiculous misunderstanding with these obnoxious speakers of a foreign tongue.
I'll die of a sleep-induced starvation in a sleepy town, many years down the road.
