Hi there! We were hearing some uncertainty about Death Policies on DDD and we'd like to reiterate what we have set and let you guys know upfront what's up.

Death plots -- even if they're small and/or affect maybe one character-- need to be approved by a moderator.

The biggest issue is some have decided to kill off their characters under the assumption they can bring them back whenever and haven't really given any thought to how they're going to be brought back so please keep that in mind. Also, if you only kill your character off for a few hours/a day, maybe you should think about why you even want to? Some plots call for it, and thats understandable but it cheapens the affect of death on other characters. We don't want the attitude of death to be "Oh, ____ died? Yeah, they'll be back soon." That being said, we also don't want to put any limitations on death because they really don't happen that often (more than they used to, but still!) but consider this a friendly reminder to put more thought into your plots. As fun as angst is, well thought out angst is better!

Also, we kindly request that should you kill and revive a character, that the revival technique be in some way related to your character's world. Please mind that not all worlds are connected through their underworld/hell/heaven! It's different and realistically it should be hard for someone not from that world to revive them because of that. Feel free to continue using techniques (for example, the revival ring) to get around that, just don't abuse them.

All in all nothing has changed just wanted to remind you of the current policy~! :D

Alright, still no clue how I'm going to bring back Jiraiya since he does have a canon death. :| Obviously, permadeath is do not want and canon methods were either a one-time use that's already been used or would turn him into Orochimaru's puppet (another big do not want).

Any thoughts or input (not just from mods) would be incredibly fantastic.

Someone said Ramza had revive rings... though I don't know if that was for real or in jest... =/

[sandy-requiem.livejournal.com]

No, he did - he gave one to Rena, and told her "don't take it off!" *lol*

I can hunt back and look for the post where he started handing 'em out, if you'd like.

GIVE ONE TO JIRAIYA! D:

...And Gaara too, for that matter. XD

In which Ramza starts handing out rings (http://community.livejournal.com/dramadramaduck/1458351.html).

PHOENIX DOWNS CURE EVERYTHING.

...except Aerith's death. For some reason yet to be explained.

This is true! She hasn't been involved in much so the opportunity's never really...occurred. (Also she's Queen at this point. :3)

[peeping-toad.livejournal.com]

...I like this idea. A depressed Tsunade will come to the comm after (by some odd occurrence) Jiraiya's body is dragged back to Konoha, most likely without the arm that got hacked off. ;~;

*sad wibble*
S-she'll be more than happy to help Jiraiya! Life and Auto-Life for the win! ;_;
