Death and Recovery

Death is when a living being loses its mental and physical autonomy and ceases to be alive. In organic creatures, this includes the permanent, irreversible loss of biological function. Death generally means the end of life of a character until they are recovered. Objects will often attempt to avoid death (even when ways to revive are present, which commonly is always true) and will often seek more complicated methods to stay alive, since death is very painful and uncomfortable to experience. 
Alternatively, Recovery (Also known as reviving) is a mechanic in the universes in which dead characters are able to come back to life.
Because of recovery, death does not affect a characters memories or mental functions.
Recovery also seems to restore characters to their best condition. For example, if a bell character were to get their string cut off, then die and get recovered, they would regain their string, uncut.
== Coverage ==
In BFAP, PP, PPPP2, and APPS, the host is able to revive contestants.
Paper Paper Perplexity Perplexity 2 reveals suffocation as a possible way for objects to die, and also reveals that robotic characters do not need to worry about suffocation.
In Flag for All, the Reboot Van is the primary source of recovery. The Reboot Van is also used occasionally in other shows.
In Dilly Dally Object Show, Template and Blank are the only characters in and from the world capable of any kind of recovery. Hacker can recover characters by hacking the world data.
Also within DDOS, Period can automatically come back to life on his own.
== Trivia ==
*As seen in PPPP2 8: Welcome Back!, non-contestants cannot be revived, and as shown in DDOS, non contestants do not know recovery exists.
