On Buried Light, there's two main ways to deal with a Character Reset. On the one hand, you could simply ask any staff member (through direct messages or through Discord) to Archive your character. After that, you can immediately start working on a new App. The new App can be as similar or different from the old character as you like; everything will be as if the old character had been permanently erased from history.
Other players whose characters have interacted with the old character can decide how they want to fit this erasure in their own narrative.
However, Buried Light offers an alternative possibility, less drastic than completely Archiving a character: Character Reset.
Resetting a character allows you to keep some of the progress you made while allowing a near-complete makeover of the character. From here on out, we refer to the resetted character as "Original Character", while the new one as the "New Character".
The New Character has the following properties:
To actually reset a character, it's sufficient to post a new Character App and contact a Staff member to let them know which character will be reset providing links to the Original Character's UPDATED App and the New Character's App. The Staff will handle the rest.

Sometimes our character's paths don't go the way we envisioned them to. Sometimes we grow bored with a character and we want to get a second chance to do it all over again - better, this time.On Buried Light, there's two main ways to deal with a Character Reset.

[attr="class","rules_subtitle"]Character Reset Rules
The New Character has the following properties:
- They have the same Rank as the Original Character.
- They possess a number of Red Orbs
equal to the threshold of their Rank. For example, a Rank C New Character would begin their new life with exactly 2000 . - If there is any difference between the number of Red Orbs of the Original and New Characters, this difference will be refunded to you in the form of Blue Orbs. For example, resetting a Rank C Character with 2500 will result in a New Character whose Rank is C, with 2000 and 500
. - Finally, it's only possible to Reset a character once.
equal to the threshold of their Rank. For example, a Rank C New Character would begin their new life with exactly 2000 
.To actually reset a character, it's sufficient to post a new Character App and contact a Staff member to let them know which character will be reset providing links to the Original Character's UPDATED App and the New Character's App. The Staff will handle the rest.
[attr="class","rules_focus"]Notice that there's a number of situations where Resetting a character is not necessary. Namely: changing Factions, changing name, changing appearance or personality, expanding descriptions in any part of the Character App. For those, it's sufficient to make a quick post at the Divinity Statue.
Removing or altering Equipment, Foci, Techniques, Traits, backstory or Race all require a Reset.
