If Aaron dies this early in the game in this kind of tutorial fight, I'm probably not going to let you make another OC.

It really depends on [i]how[/i] he dies. 

If it was an unfortunate series of events over and over (which it shouldn't be since the GMs are controlling 50% of the unfortunate events occurrences here), I'll allow a new OC.

If it was a death from a good play or some other highly involved action that was premeditated and the like, I'll allow a new OC.

If it was a death from an issue of "this is what my character would do in this scenario, even if it would get him/her killed," I'll allow a new OC.

Basically, I [i]usually[/i] allow new OCs.

Except:

If your character died stupidly for no real reason doing things that cannot be justified as "my character would do this even if he/she would die."

That just tells me you're probably going to get the next character killed really early on, too.

So don't give me that impression.

Tl;dr: don't die this early on. 

If the GM warns you they're going to [i]kill[/i] your character (as opposed to just grievously wounding), ask your respective GM if there is [i]any[/i] way out of it. They'll usually oblige and answer for major things like that. That said, try not to be in that position in the first place. We're not actually trying to kill anyone here, spoiler alert. So if your character dies...
