I've been gaming for two and a half years or so, and in that time, I've played a number of characters, and had a number of characters die. In general, I look at a character death as an opportunity to use one of my other interesting character concepts and get out my lucky (or not-so-lucky) 4d6. Not a problem.
The Midnight game I play in, though, has been the first time I've had the opportunity to start a character from first level. Jez, my Quickened fighter/barbarian, is the first character I've been really attached to - I've put a lot of work into her, planning her future both mechanically and in terms of character development, probably more than any previous character that I've played. And in last night's session, she was almost killed, and ended up captured by the Bad Guys. As we left it, Jez and her companion/sister-in-arms Zana are in deep trouble, and may not survive the next session.
For the first time, I'm really upset at the prospect of losing my PC.
So how much do other people care when their PC dies? Have you had specific characters that you were particularly sad to lose?
