What I usually do is leave the character profiles up but mark them as "Inactive" some how -<del>usually by putting a line through them</del>- and that way if the player returns to the game or someone else wants to take over the character, (which needs permission from the player that I now obtain implicitly in my RoP), then the profile is still there.<br/><br/>If you delete something, it's gone. Cross it out, and you can un-cross it!
