Let see in my long running HOE campaign(3 years+).  I have killed only a 
handful of characters.  Actually I really haven't killed anyone, the players 
did it for me.  First I lost a Junker because the player got tired of him 
and wanted to run something new, so instead of just talking to me and 
retiring him nicely he decided to take on a 2 automatons with a knife. 
Needless to say after he died and told me why he did it(I kinda new he 
wanted to change and was discourging it) I told him if he pulled something 
like that again, I would have made him come back harrowed but would have had 
his body completely destroyed.

Next I had a visiting player(he only visited once and this is the reason) 
shoot a nuke into a cave full of Wormlings.  The only problem was that he 
and the rest of the party were in the cave as well.  Needless to say one of 
my other players almost go physical violent with him.  His character was 
instantely killed and the rest of the posse barely survived(They spent all 
there chips and I fudged a bunch of dice rolls, and one other player still 
died but he got better(he came back harrowed).

Finally the last Death I had was during the Posse horror

The Horror has the ability to control other people.  So of course I had him 
take control of the ultra-powerful yet dim witted Templar Super Soldier. 
Needless to say he managed to dismember the Posses doomsayer(he 
survived...barely but his mutation lets him grow back limbs so he was all 
good in a few months).  One of the other players proceed to Fire his super 
expermental Junker Laser Rifle at him.  It did 4D10 damage and the player 
rolled all tens.  He rolled again and If I rember correctly got two more 
tens.  All I know was that the total damage was 80 something.  Needless to 
say the Templar Died.

So three characters in three years.  I think I'm going to soft on my 
players. Well I have managed to at least maim about half of them.
