This is (obviously) the fictional edition of my other hit thread, Name That Dead Guy!

This has similar rules to the other one but with a few changes to make things fair. You are not allowed to use a dead from a book/movie/whatever as your dead guy and say he's dead only because the book/movie/whatever takes place in a time that ensure's he's dead by now. If you're doing someone from, say Lord of the Rings or Elder Scrolls lore however, then that's a different story assuming that they're dead by the time of another book/game.

It's not a rule, but please be considerate of other people. If you have any decency then you won't pick a character from a new and trending show/movie/whatever (I.E. try not to spoil things).

People who are dead in the beginning of a crime solving show and have no real part are strictly prohibited as that would just be cruel.

The other rules are in the other thread which I linked to. I can't think of any other rules at the moment, if I do I'll post them.

Right, so I don't read all that much, there are only a few fictional things that interest me too terribly much and some of that will be pretty easy, and I don't want that, so I'll probably be sticking mostly to obscure (but not too obscure) Elder Scrolls characters. Whether they are just in lore or in the games.

I am thinking of a dead lady from the Elder Scrolls, not exactly obscure, but I rather doubt it'll be quickly guessed. For this one, I even allow you to use the Elder Scrolls wiki as an aid for your guessing. Good luck and good guessing!

Did his death have anything to do with airplanes, hydrogen, ships, or the internal combustion engine?

When I said Doctor Who I meant Doctor Who related, just to make sure we're on the same track.

Were there aliens meaning that in the TV show/movie's universe were there such things as aliens?

Did the show last for more than 5 seasons before the movie?
Was there more than one movie?
Was he the only character to die in the movie?
Was he a good guy?
Was he a bad guy?
Was his goodness or badness hard to classify?
Did he have anything to do with spaceships?
In the TV show/movie was there any mention of Earth/did Earth even exist in that universe?
Did it take place after the year 2250?
Did it take place before 3000?
Was there time travel?
Did he travel to other planets or just stay on one?
Did he have a slow and painful death?
Was he ginger?
Blonde?
Black haired?
White haired?
Was he caucasian?
Was he black?
Asian?
Was he old?
Was he young?
Was he middle-aged?

And I suppose that that's enough for one post.

I feel bad about swooping in for the kill* on that one, so I'll give ya'lls a bonus hint.

I'm thinking of a general who (almost certainly) died in action.

Bonus: this is a character from a book over 40 years old. The book is a favorite of a moderator on this site.

*pun intended.

What. The. Crap dude?!

I got it as being him from the moment I saw that it was a TV show and a movie. I didn't guess him or say anything about Firefly because I was going to use him if it wasn't. You show up here after not being seen for more than a post or two at a time in the last 8+ months and steel my thunder!.....Nicely done.

As for you Jacen, you did it wrong, you were supposed to post like a dozen pictures of him and a picture of his grave in remembrance of the single greatest fictional character ever to have died.
P.S. Joss killed him and Book because he wanted it to be a trilogy but those two weren't able to do more than one.

LOTR related?
Was the book historical fiction?
Was this book ever made into a TV show/movie?
Were there any other books related to the one in question?

I felt bad while doing it. To be fair, I got it a while ago too, and waited to see if anyone else would say anything.

Moving on...
