Changing After Rebirth

[Caninrok]

To my knowledge (which may be faulty) when characters come back from death they come back exactly as they were before. The one exception is that the user character comes back at the next lowest level of popularity.

While it is true that death is rarely permanent for characters in comics it is also true that characters rarely come back from the dead unchanged. Even if the return is simply a title relaunch that ignores the previous volume's conintuity the character is still likely to be different in some way.

These differences are sometimes minor and sometimes major. I was thinking it would be cool if there was a chance of a character being altered when they go through a rebirth.

My idea was that there could be various chances of different kinds of changes happening. For example, if the character already has an alternate version there could be a high chance that version is used. Personality changes could also be fairly likely. Changes in attributes would have some chance (with my one addition, swap or deletion being most likely in this case and greater changes being less likely). At the least likely end of the scale (but potentially the most interesting) could be class changes.

Of course I would suggest that were such an option to ever exist that it be toggleable so that people could use it or not. Also, if the chance and level of rebirth change where scaleable user options that'd be good too.
