My dios are all part of the same universe so if I kill someone off, it'll last forever unless it's, I dunno, Cobra where they do cloning stuff. But even then... I'd rather do something different in terms of 'killing'. My 1st dio, I killed off a LOT of characters. Torpedo, Big Ben, Rampage, just figures I didn't care for much. BUT I consider Transformations the beginning of where my stories are consistent.

I'm also weird enough that, if I kill off Scarlett or something like that, her twin sister or lil sister would join up and take over. *shrug*
