Quick Question about Characters

#1 Post by lastmousestanding » Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:17 am

Somehow in my free time, I came up with a brief plot for a mystery VN and I am now in the process of fleshing it out.

So I wanted to ask a quick, albeit unusual, question.

With the following characters, in which order would you want to see them die?

A - A loyal soldier, who is quick to be angered.
B - A fat, intelligent man with no sense of morals.
C - A trusting female doctor with a flair for the dramatic.
D - A cunning and pragmatic man of action with a nasty character.
E - A Lutheran Protestant priest with a solid belief system.
F - A simple woman in love with A.
G - A strong leader who values his subordinates highly and believes in sacrificing 1 to save 100.

Thanks for any help in advance,

F,B,E,D,C,G,A

I had A at the end so he could be all angst-y about F and can learn from G

Yeah, don't kill off the soldier too fast. He sounds like protagonist material to me. :b

D, B, E, F, G, C, A

This was actually pretty hard past the first two...I felt it was easy to get rid of the guy with a nasty character and it guy with no morals. Beyond that, it was *hmmmmmmmmm*, Not sure if this would work at all but maybe have F be the *one sacfrice*, A finds out about it, and kills off G in a fit of rage? Granted, that's pretty far fetched, but might work in a VN.

I'm not too sure I can help here, because I just want the priest to survive!! xD So, I'd say to maybe keep him alive at least for half of the characters, so it would be more suspicious that he hasn't died yet! xD There'd be even a few clues pointing to him, which would all vanish when he'd die next! >=D Mwahah... Anyway, so maybe:

F(for more drama maybe?), A, B, E, C, D or G?

Still, this looks like a weird when I look at it again, so don't take it too seriously! xD Hehe. Good luck with your VN!
