I would like to have deaths for my character for when he reaches zero health. But I want it to be a page including "you are sliced in half by ENEMYNAME" or something like that instead of just sending to a death page when reaching zero health.

It is literally more work to do this using scripting than to just make separate death pages.

It's not really that much work, and if there's a lot of them using on page text makes them easier to organize. But I'd argue that just plugging in an enemy's name doesn't make a death 'interesting'. Use the method Seto explained to write unique scenes. 

Agree with Beta.

However, if you want to do this, my suggestion would be to have everything lead to the same death page, but...for example, one way was to have Bob slice you in half, the other death would be to have Gina slice you in half. Do this:

1) Make a variable named PLDEATH

?2) Add nothing to PLDEATH  if you are killed by Bob, add 1 if you are killed by Gina

3) Use this script on the end death page.

%%PLDEATH%=%0%You are sliced in half by Bob%%%%PLDEATH%=%1%You are sliced in half by Gina.%%
