Why not just take out the bit where Lost Souls lose all attributes? 
That would be exactly the same, except without adding a new state of 
being.

This isn't what you want to do at all - this creates a new "player", 
unaffiliated with any real-world entity, and gives it a bunch of 
attributes. This also breaks r2, as we already have an entity called 
'Rob'.

Under the current rules, Rob is currently a "Lost Soul", with no 
attributes except the name 'Rob' (hence why creating a new one breaks 
r2). What you want to do is have Rob rejoin the game, causing em to 
become a Player instead of a Lost Soul, and then you propose to give em 
the attributes e had before e left.

Rob, you feel like rejoining?
