Thanks for your response! -- and sorry about the delay in answering. I do have a Plurk account and will add you, and hopefully catch you before too long. (EDIT: MY Plurk name is Tangyminx. I sent you a friend request.)
But meantime, I'm thinking through my ideas and especially my questions.
The basis for my adding the post-death experiences is this: I've been playing him for the past ten months as a character who has had time to think about his actions in his past life. His focus is now connecting with those he loves and making reparations to those he has harmed. I think this is actually consistent with the character as created by Tolkien, in potential. But in order to justify this change, I gave him that time to contemplate and explore -- while no longer being under the constraints of the Oath.
But in terms of possible solutions, let me ask some questions:
1) What if I just remove his post-death experiences from the character info post? Does the claim then become acceptable as a canon character claim request?
2) Or, what if I include some of his experiences from the PSL he's been in for ten months in my musebox? Can he then be considered a CRAU character? (It's not just a few threads, it's a whole game, although with only two players. 2383 comments, so far.) In that tale, he comes back to life without a clear memory of how this has been possible, but he will eventually remember. The post-death experiences are part of that story. So, would he get to keep them, if he also claimed other experiences from the PSL storyline?
