User blog:Wh!te$tar/ Training Grounds part 1: Writing

Alright, here's the first of the training grounds! :D Remember, these aren't contests, they're just brief events where users can improve their skills and share ideas. For today, I've thought a Writing Challenge would be nice, since so few people write here, and few use a story-format when Roleplaying. Each Challenge has a theme, so today the theme is write a brief excerpt about one of your characters dying. Character deaths can either make a story if done correctly, or ruin one if done quickly and poorly. Will your character die a glorious death in battle? Will their end come as wisened elders warm in their beds? Or will they sacrifice themselves to save those they love?

Just a note, these don't have to be canon to your stories. You can simply create fake scenarios where this is how your character ends.

And to help, here are a few tips: So let's get writing SFW! :D Get out there and kill your fan characters!
 * The best moments are often the simplest. There's a difference betwen the scene when *spoilers* Sam was dying in Transformers 2 and the death of Aerith in FF7. What was that? While Sam died surrounded by screaming people, explosions, and the sounds of battle, Aerith died in silence. Usualy the best scenes focus on simple emotion rather than the events of others around them, so try to focus on keeping things from getting so overdone that the story suffers.
 * Keep in mind the five senses: Taste, Touch, Sight, Smell, and Sound. By describing these five senses from your character, you can create more detailed paragraphs and hint at events to come.
 * You can go inside your character's mind to add depth to your story. What were they thinking when they died? What were others thinking? The last thoughts and words a person says in death can tell alot about them, and others around them.

.......wait...
