Restarting

by **Oitera** on November 21st, 2016, 7:38 pm

Hello!
I joined the world of Mizahar in 2012, wrote a few adventures then but has since not been active except once when I added the xp, lore and so forth earned in the adventures to my character sheet. I don't really know how to navigate here or remember my character, though I've read through my character sheet(which I can't say I'm totally pleased with though I like the character for the most part). Since I guess there are others out there who has been in this situation I want to ask for advice; Is it better to start over from scratch or should I try to reacquaint myself with everything and stick with my character? What's the pros and cons?

You can do either.

The good news is you don't have to pay living expenses for the seasons you were inactive so you can just note on your CS that you were gone X season through X season and update everything else.

The other thing is you can start over with a fresh character. Honestly, I think this is the easiest way unless you are emotionally attached to the PC you are giving up.

Can I rewrite the character sheet if I keep all the items, xp and her personality pretty much as it is? I'd like to change the answers to the questions and maybe give her a bit more depth as the character sheet is quite repetitive.

Ps. I can then have it reviewed again if needed.

Hey Oitera,

You should be fine making those tweaks if you have decided you like the character enough to keep her. However, since you are past the 50 post mark, you cannot make any significant changes (ie altering skills, lores, race, etc) but you seem to understand this

It would be advisable to submit the edited CS to the CS review again just to make sure, so you have the right idea there. It might not hurt to reach out the Emergence, as well, since she is the ST of Wind Reach and could provide extra assistance if you need it.

Welcome back and happy writing!

Perfect this was on my mind too. Thank you.
