Allow Characters to die, but allow Players to re-enter the story with a new character that doesn't overwrite the previous character
This is the biggest problem that our group has had. Characters have died in our games, which is a natural part of telling stories, but the players still want to play. We'd love to be able to have that player remain in the story, but play with a different character. We've managed to this through a workaround of re-editing a dead character, but then that dead character ceases to exist and all previous posts from that player now feature the new character, instead of the dead one, as if the previous character never existed.
So, I'd love to see a function where a player's dead character can remain with a profile and all of the dead character's posts are left intact. Perhaps the GM would be able to deem the character as "deceased" in their profile and no longer playable (alternately, a character could also be considered as "retired", "in limbo" or "missing", with the ability of the narrator to re-activate them). Then, when the character is declared dead, the player is then allowed to create and insert a new character into the story without it affecting the dead one.
This will be in the initial Gamma launch!

That's a solid idea.
