I'm trying to work on a death scene, which is really important, because it's the death of a very famous god (in my story at least) and I've really come to almost... shall we say, befriend that character. I want his death to be really amazing and unique... How am I going to do that?

What sort of'God' is he, does he have any special traits that may play a part in his death. Maybe a weakness of his could play in his downfall.

What is important though is that you don't tell the reader about his death, you show the reader, you make them feel for this god, who he was. This can help make the scene special.  If he is stabbed by a god killing dagger, who held it, how did it come to have such power over the gods, does it kill him instantly or does his death drag out, to be slow allowing his mind to bring back his memories, and thoughts of things he will never see.

emotion, emotion, emotion, and maybe a bit of detail ;)

Hope it goes well for you!

He's Toen (The character on my page), the god of shadows and blood.
I do want his death to drag out, because he has a really great back story that it would be wonderful to reflect on.
In this world however, gods are actualy easy to kill. They can't die from old age or sicknesses but you can cut them, and they'll bleed. They can die from wounds just like the rest of us.
But liek I said, I want it to be origonal, I want it to be something unexpected.

God of Shadows and Blood, very interesting and he should have an interesting death. When stuck on things like this, I always try and think of key words related to the character. Maybe something related to this. 

Shadows, maybe a death related to: secrecy, deceit, betrayal, or thievery?

Blood: which could be related to poison, love, lust, rage?

Edit Just read he had a hard time with love, why is that? Maybe his death could be related to a new love, or an old one. Jealousy of another man as his woman has fallen for him?

Hmm.... I like those, especialy what you put for Blood, Toen has had quite a few problems with those.
Still, the only thing that comes to mind is that everything is going dark as he lays on the ground. As everything fades, he stares at the feet of his killer.
One of my friends also suggested that he somehow ended up killing himself, since he's just that kind of character. But I thought it would be sort of creative if he killed himself because of something someone else did to bring that about.

Thank you by the way, it's nice to talk this over with people.

Well you'll at least have a few more ideas swimming about now. Write a few plots, just in a spider diagram, and see which you think works the best.

No problem at all, Hope you get the story right for you, and him!

Thank you so much, I'll get working on it.

[Font] had some great ideas on this subject for the scene itself. *nod* I have another thought to add, too.

For a really good death scene, I tend to think that the build-up before the scene is actually as important as the scene itself. He, or even better, some outsider who can see but not help him, might see it coming but be powerless to stop it. Have it coming, inch by little inch, until the actual scene occurs. ^^

Actually that would be a very good idea, would definitely help build suspense!

It could also be worked to be very emotional, especially if the person who could see it coming had strong feelings for Toen.

Yeah, that makes sence, but even so... is how do I write it?

Yeah, well he has a wife and son, so that would make sence.
