Ahhh! Well I guess it still kinda applies the same way. I don't mean to tell you what to do, but I think the best course of action is stay true to the story. If it suits your character's M.O. to kill this other character, you almost have an obligation to follow through with it. At which point, i'd still just go for writing it as a great story piece.
Collaborate with the other member, see if you can't work together to either write a great swan song for the character, or work out a reasonable turn of events for the character to survive (either unscathed, or lightly harmed).
Alright, thanks for the advice . Helps me coup with the person's character death. That said it may not happen.. Although chances are slim. Least on how I view it.
I have to support what Cassanova said. My current character Anthoni literly had deafeated another PC. He had the character on their knees, with his saber at their throat. Anthoni was a fallen Jedi and the person he was about to execute was one of his old Jedi friends. But instead of killing him, like he would of, I let the other guy go.
I OOCly forced a scenario that wouldn't of happened IC, and the outcome sucked.
