Sometimes, people have to die. That's just the way it is in Hathian. Now, few people willingly resign their beloved characters to be put away forever. What I suggest, is having a small team of people able to whip up characters on a whim, to be used in short stints for events.

I'd say, they'd be like the red shirts from Star Trek. They're characters that are briefly introduced and die off suddenly. If anyone takes this idea to heart, I'll be happy to create characters to throw away once in awhile.
