Generally speaking. I have seen the same as mentioned above. When you go to war generally the idea is your going knowing that your character may die. In exchange you get development and cool stories for that risk. If you get capped and your not the one being rescued that's just how it is sometimes. But most players that I have seen are also pretty relaxed and wont kill a character off unless there is lots of IC reason and even then well there is false kills. Take a -40 and live and continue your story. Now some may say that a -40 means your character is over. I will say. Naw. its not. Its a setback at best. You can get it scarred and also use it to develop your character through the roof.
The only thing I will say is the killing of demons and other antags. I have seen quite a few times antags getting killed off to soon or not being given time to cook cause of bad roll on a danger or in a war. (I hate seeing the opposite happen as well. where the heroes get killed out of no where and are still more fresh) It happens but I think generally everyone is willing to work towards a agreeable outcome most of the time.
The big thing for most though is. How long has your character been around and active and what IC do they have with you. Sometimes there is just no way that a character is letting you live. They are going to kill you and watch you die or whatever it is they can do to ensure you don't live period.
