Sadly the awareness that our character cannot be ICly killed (or stabbed, or poisoned, or raped, or punched, or kidnapped, or robbed, etc.) without our OOC permission is one of the major cases of unconscious OOC leak you can find in most of the community, which leads to extreme boldness, self-confidence and unrealistic trust in other PCs too.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
