History TearJerker / SurvivalOfTheFittest

There are many in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', although given the [[KillEmAll premise]] of the roleplay, that isn't really surprising.

** Not long after this his brother [[spoiler:Glenn Hughes]] dies trying to help [[spoiler:Mallory DeLuca]]. They get attacked by the duo of [[spoiler:Peri Barclay]] and [[spoiler:Stevan Hyde]] who forces [[spoiler:Mallory]] to choose who lives. She chooses [[spoiler:Glenn]]. [[spoiler:Peri then kills Glenn and gloats at her before leaving her behind with his corpse.]]

* V3. Three people needlessly die in under a minute, and the rest realize just how empty the game has really made them. [[http://z10.invisionfree.com/SOTF_V2/index.php?showtopic=2564&st=90 Words cannot do it justice.]]

* As long as we're on the subject of v3 deaths, the death of [[spoiler:Jake Henkie]] counts. All the guy does is yell his best friend's name upon seeing her - unfortunately, a student hiding in the bushes nearby is startled, and shoots him in the head, blowing off half of his jaw. [[spoiler:He dies in the arms of Trish [=McCarroll=], unable to even speak to her, and Trish is completely devastated.]] [[http://z10.invisionfree.com/SOTF_V2/index.php?showtopic=2561 Read it here for the depressing details.]]
* [[http://z10.invisionfree.com/SOTF_V2/index.php?showtopic=3002 The Answer]], from v3, gives us a threefer:

* [[http://s10.zetaboards.com/SOTF_V2/topic/7336656/1 A White and Soundless Place]]. The death of [[spoiler:Dutchy Ayers]] as he bleeds out in the arms of a friend.

** [[http://s10.zetaboards.com/SOTF_V2/topic/9002181/1/ All About My Mother]] details how V6 student Noah Whitley's family falls apart after his abduction, providing ups and downs worthy of a telenovela.

** [[spoiler:Madison Springer killing Nathan Coleman.]] A brutal death involving the victim getting his neck snapped and his face beaten in with a rock. On anyone else it'd be horrific, but the relationship between these two characters and the context of their entire island story just makes it completely heartbreaking.

* [[spoiler:Tori Johnson]] getting wounded at the hands of [[spoiler:Mariavel Varella]] in retribuiton for [[spoiler:Seth's]] death, she dies as she's murmuring about the beach she and her boyfriend used to meet at as said boyfriend, [[spoiler:Bryan Calvert]] desperately tries to save her.

* [[spoiler:Seth Mathlock's]] death, after saving [[spoiler.lTori Johnson's]] life he gets wounded and asks [[spoiler:Bryan Calvert]], [[spoiler:Tori's]] boyfriend and one of his friends to mercy kill him, also asking him to kill [[spoiler:Mariavel Varella]], a member of their gang and the killer with the biggest kill count, convinced she's beyond saving at that point.

* One example is the death of [[spoiler:Andrew Lipson.]] He is [[spoiler: hit by lightning, and survives, however, the electronics on his wheelchair are shorted out. This leaves him attempting to arrest his descent down a slope, an endeavour in which he fails, causing him to fall from a cliff.]] ''He doesn't die'', and is [[spoiler: left, immobile, on the beach below as the tide comes in, causing him to slowly drown]]. The fact that he was talking to his best friend on the phone when [[spoiler:the lightning struck]] makes it even more saddening.

* [[spoiler: Fred Hughes trying to save Lyndi Thibodeaux from Cody Jenson by fighting him. He dies because of this. Not long after this his brother Glenn Hughes dies trying to help Mallory DeLuca.]]
* [[spoiler: Jeremy Torres holding Heather Pendegrast as she dies of her wounds after spending days apart from each other. With Heather's last thought being how Jeremy has been like a good luck charm to her.]]
** [[spoiler: Later on is the death of Jeremy himself, after having had a car chase with Lucinda Garret across the island that results in her death. Sitting in his car not far off and in a bad shape. Jeremy has a handwritten note left for his family before turning his gun on himself, content with how he'd refused the game.]]

* Joshua Moore's life before the game. A gay teen raised in a religious household, he was sent to church by his parents to "pray the gay away", traumatising him. He later ends up in a relationship with another boy whom gets found out by his family and he's forcibly moved to Denton, with his boyfriend left behind and sent to conversion therapy which he pretends works.
