The title might be slightly misleading, but I didn't know how to phrase this. So, my character died. He was a Half-Elf Artificer, with the Gunsmith archetype, since me and my DM liked the UA class better than the official one. Without going into the complicated circumstances surrounding his death, I felt like I hadn't gotten the most out of his story as I had wanted as a player, so I decided my next character would be a Half-Elf Warlock, The Hexblade, who was my old character brought back from the dead, memory wiped and soul-bound to his Patron, one of his old created firearms possessed with a fragment of an Old God called Hyunthar, the Deep Terror. This character has been established for one session now, so I can still toy with his backstory, and I wanted to know if people think I should just leave my old character to rest. The personalities of these two are very different, I made sure that the new character wasn't just a copy, but I don't know whether this seems like I'm being uncreative. This is the first character death I've had, in the first campaign I've ever played.
If the DM/group is ok with it and everyone is having fun roll with it.
We have a large group and several people DM at different times. One of our players liked his character so much he always plays it. Works his backstory into being the same character. Not just a copy. The same character. No matter the setting/place/time or anything.
We all have fun and it works. And when random PC"s from time to time have an irrational hatred of his character it's just kinda understood.
If the DM/group is ok with it and everyone is having fun roll with it.
This is the key. As long as everyone's having fun, you do you.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
