The first few missions you cannot lose anybody. After that it become Michia and Sothe and then others as the game progresses. Your main "leaders" will be Ike, Michia, Sothe, etc etc without giving any spoilers..
When you lose non-essential characters they'll just die forever but don't think of it as an invitation you'll want them later trust me.
Just check the mission after that first stretch of story you'll see it gradually changes to where only a few cannot die, just remember when conversations at the base become available DO them.
