Rules for bringing back old characters

[feniox]

I was just wondering if there were any rules regarding this? I was thinking about bringing back my original Layo character (Arwinath Dy'nesifer) but I was wondering how I could do it. What I mean by that is that the build would probably be different this time (Rogue/Fighter instead of ranger/rogue for example) but apart from that he would be the same character he was before, so could I just re-submit the original bio with modifications to account for the class change, or would I have to write an entirely new one?

Also, would it be allowed to bring him back and pick up where I left off? I dont mean rebuild him or anything, but personality-wise. I would RP as him going "home" or something similar (To the underdark, as hes a Drow) but surely he would still remember everything that happened up until the point he disappeared originally, rather than having to return as a complete stranger to the land.

Sorry if this was posted somewhere before and I missed it.

The only problem with this particular case is that its rather unlikely that a drow that had been living on the surface would be welcomed "home" in the underdark.  However, I can think of many hypothetical situations that could allow for this.

Yeah, his original Bio stated that he had nothing to return to anyway, but I haven't really planned out anything yet. I'm not even sure I would definitely want to, I just wanted to find out if such a thing would be possible, then I'd work out something appropriate when I'd decided to do it.

This is approved if it is done properly, a few people have done it a few times.
  You need to submit him as a new character and explain his old life, where he was/went/why etc. and then explain why the new classes/remake within the bio.  We do only allow it a few times per character though so eventually (after a few remakes--depending on the situation and the character it can be one time only as well) we will say no more remakes.
