Indeed, that's one reason why I make sure to roleplay different characters from time to time: too much on one, and an unexpected death leaves an immense, emotional void.

Not going to defend the flaw you pointed out in my post, as it is, well, a flaw. Though most of the characters I saw with first-person certainly were Gary Stus/Mary Sues - usually followed by the excessive character attachment (the kind you described) that maims the growth of a roleplayer.
