No one should make assumptions that a character will be safe, because I'm an evil, evil man. ;) Seriously though, I can't promise that any character will live 'till the end because, y'know, things happen, and whatever's best for the story is best for the story. And to answer that second part, I've been tempted to kill off some popular characters (Billie *cough cough what*) just wondering what the reaction would be...but decided against it, honestly.

I've never killed someone just because they were hated, though I don't think there's been a character yet that's been that hated that people were wishing upon their deaths (besides antagonists).
