In a word, no. Especially not Jaques.
Long version:
I am a very anxious and nervous person and breaking a new character in, even with people I know oocly and RP with on a regular basis is very very stressful for me. It's never a fun event despite the knowledge that once I get over this beginning hump that things get better/easier and become fun. It triggers my anxiety of new people interaction horribly because it -is- a totally new person for the other people involved. It's the reason that while I adore making characters... I rarely ever RP an alt unless I'm feeling particularly stable.
I like the progress I've made with Jaques and am rather proud of myself every time I RP him as not a nervous neurotic anxiety ridden person with every new individual he meets. It's work for me because I am being that neurotic individual behind the scenes. And if anyone else here ever gets panic attacks they know it's not always easy to think through them. So no. I will not kill of Jaques until I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'm done with Eorzea and this game as a whole. Simply because I don't want to work at getting an entirely new character accepted and put into play at the same level he's at. And even with all that said I'll probably not kill him off. Just stick him in retirement because I am rather attached to the bastard.
TL;DR- Woo naval gazing! Read the very first sentence again.
