Introduction

The right way to kill a character is to have it mean what it's supposed to mean. There are some characters- It's you, the sphyn - whose deaths don't matter. Red shirts can just die because the swamp monster eats them. Main characters should not die because the Swamp Monster eats them. If you want to have a character's death be meaningless and the meaninglessness is in and of itself tragic, you can do that.
