For the record, even if all of your friends have the same conditional immortality as you, it does not reduce the pain and fear of watching them die.
It will still hurt the same every time. Sometimes it even hurts worse.

When Micanor asked you to join the group
HeirAfter and its characters belongs to @xelcon
You are frozen to your core, and the flames call to you.
Would it truly be so terrible to crawl into their delicious heat?
To never be cold again?
The cleansing fire is in your veins; you just have to learn how to direct it.
Be honest-- did you really think your duty was more important than her life,
or were you just counting on dying before you had time to regret it?
If my video game OCs were canon characters, where would the player meet them? (bonus: identical post on @huntersuggestions for the OCs there!)
Leah - similar to Anri, the canon “companion” summon you can meet and talk to at various points in your world, Leah would likely be met early on. I’m thinking you would probably encounter her in the Undead Settlement (the second area of the game after the tutorial, essentially), since this is where the first invasion covenant in the game is founded, and since at this point the player already has the Way of Blue covenant item. She’s resting by the bonfire in the building under the cliff, and is very friendly to the player as long as they don’t have the Mound-Maker covenant equipped (or on NG+, the Fingers of Rosaria covenant). If you have the Mound-Maker covenant equipped, then like Sirris does for a Finger, she would politely decline to talk with you. Otherwise she would offer her friendship and aid, and somewhere further down the line (inside Farron Keep or outside the Cathedral of the Deep [where there’s no canon NPC Invaders; outside Farron there’s Heysel and inside the Cathedral there’s Kirk]) she’d be scripted to come to your aid against an NPC invader, even if you weren’t wearing the Way of Blue.
You could then encounter her and have a short chat at the beginning of Irithyll, at the first bonfire (she hates the cold and would be warming up by it). She’d tell you she’s on her way home to Anor Londo, which is just past and above Irithyll, and that she’s not entirely certain how much time has passed since she left home. She’d laugh it off and again offer you aid, but you wouldn’t see her again until Anor Londo. This time she would be past the bonfire, in the chamber where the Giant Blacksmith can be found, staring sadly at his corpse. She explains that Sulyvahn (the boss the player would have just defeated in Irithyll) led some sort of coup or invasion, and that the palace is swarming with Aldrich Faithfuls and that she fears for the Dark Sun. This would also be the point where the player realizes from the hesitant, meandering way she talks that she may not be as sane as she appears.
The player wouldn’t see her again until the Profaned Capital, where they would be invaded by an NPC Mad Phantom, “Leah, Broken Knight”. Defeating her here would be the last time the player sees her... unless you have the DLCs.
While exploring the Painted world of Ariandel, you can encounter her twice; once as a summonable purple Phantom “Mad Knight Leah” (capable of hurting you as well as attacking enemies), and once as an actual NPC long before the summon sign (which would be just after Vilhelm). As an NPC she’d be sane and speak in a slow, muffled way [hinting her missing tongue], and would not remember being Hollow; you’d have a dialogue option to mention it and she’d act confused and distressed in response.
Ailin - The player would only conceivably meet Ailin at one point in the game, and since I have to adhere to game rules for this, the encounter would actually be a lot less intense than intended. In my RP group, we bend the game rules a LOT, so certain invading phantoms can invade in, or follow the player into, boss rooms. In the RP Ailin was essentially a miniboss, but here she’d be more like a regular invader. Her phantom color would be grey, and she invades at the top of the stairs leading to the Twin Princes, once you get to the doors to open them. She would tell you to leave, and that the Princes deserve their peace, and that she’ll defend them to the death.
Sticking to game rules, you could simply run into the boss room/fog to avoid her. With the RP rules, she would just follow you in and then you’d be facing multiple opponents. She will continuously invade until defeated, so if you skip her, run into the boss fight, and then die, she’ll just invade again once you get to the top of the stairs again.
Caelas - Caelas is met on the High Wall of Lothric, on the “hidden” ledge below the dead wyvern’s wing. He’d be friendly enough, introducing himself as a northern wanderer and hinting vaguely about being a Pyromancer, though he’ll refuse to teach you if you ask, and his demeanor changes if you do.
If you don’t ask him to teach you Pyromancy, he offers you his skill in battle, though you won’t get to take advantage of it until the Catacombs, when he’ll help you kick the shit out of just about everything if you keep his squishy ass alive long enough. He can also be summoned in Lothric Castle, but good fucking luck keeping him alive. He’s one of those NPCs who hits hard as hell as an enemy to you, but is nowhere near as powerful against the enemies in your world.
If you do ask him to teach you Pyromancy, he warns you not to ask people for such personal favors (in the first game, one of the potential Pyromancy teachers informs you that a Pyromancy Flame [what lets you cast Pyromancies] is a part of its user, and teaching/giving someone new a Pyromancy Flame is giving them a part of yourself). He won’t offer to help you, and will in fact invade you over the course of the game; once on the Wall, once in either the Cathedral or Keep (he is the invader Leah will come to aid you with), once in Anor Londo, and a final time in the Profaned Capital (so it’s entirely possible to end up with red phantom Caelas AND purple phantom Leah invading you at once).
Ronan - Ronan would leave white signs everywhere, but in very obscure, almost hidden parts of each area you’re in. You’d have to explore every nook and cranny of each section of the game to find all his signs. However, you wouldn’t meet him as a real person until you either got to Lothric Castle (he’d be praying at the Sunlight Altar) OR, if you have the DLCs, in the Ringed City; he’d wander and fight in the area similarly to how Ostrava did in Demon’s Souls, but would only start interacting with the world when you got close enough to him (to prevent him from killing all the enemies in the swamp before you even got there).
