I’m planning a sci-fi and fantasy webseries. It probably won’t go anywhere, so don’t get too excited, but I need help with the plot of one episode.

I’m planning to kill off a character and have the other protagonists almost die, but only just survive. However, what should the cause of death be?

  • Nuclear radiation
  • Sci-fi disease
  • Some kind of terrifying alien creature
  • The Baldness@beehaw.org

    1. He sacrifices himself to save the others.
    2. The others sacrifice him to save themselves.
    3. One character kills him to save everyone else, but doesn’t tell them, thus setting up the next big dirty secret.

    Whether the mechanism of death is radiation, disease, or aliens isn’t too important.
