[speaking without any official hat on]
First, (forgive me if this is obvious), have you logged into Layo just to check if any characters are you still in the vault and playable?
There have been a few cases of deleted characters being brought back, such as
this one, and the character submission forum would be the proper place to put that request. The trick is the character would have to be created from level 1 (no rebuilds, or getting back any equipment, etc), so you would need a good RP explanation for both the time, and the loss of power.
[puts on character approver hat]
I apologize about the delay for your current submission; I hadn't realized that you didn't have any characters available to play, and will treat your submission as part of the "new" rotation.
