My characters are open to die, but like others have said...give it some kind of point/purpose. FF makes you put a lot of time/effort into getting a character to a good place so rerolling isn't something to do lightly. I would actually need both hands to count the number of my own characters I've killed off in other MMOs (mostly CoH and WoW). With that said, kind of like what Virella mentioned, that isn't exactly the 'feel' that a lot of the community really goes with.
I debated a long time about just killing off Zarek Windsoul, who I originally started 2.0 with, and remaking him as something else. He's a low-mid level power character and to me it'd help kind of hammer home the point (at the time) in FC stories that the world really is dangerous, but instead I shelved him. Given his lifestyle, I imagine Aedan won't live a long life but he's stubborn and won't go into the bright light quietly. And while Martiallais began as an alt, he's become my main and even he's not immune in my eyes. I mean, I've been planning the story arc/plot "Who killed Martiallais Heuloix?" for some time now which is kind of a (partial) cop out but hey.
To me as long as they've got stories left to be told, I can (as I believe Spahro put it once) do a WHOLE lot more to a character and make them live with it than simply kill them off.
