Character redo

I attended the January event as a barbarian warrior and had a blast, but wanted to change my character to a coast haven bounty hunter with an entirely new skill set, as per the 'oops, don't like your character' section of the rules. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go to The next two events because of work and other OOG obligations. I have a few questions about the redoing of characters:

1) will I get to keep any build that I have earned through service points, bought build, and attending the event?

2) I got dysentery(IG) last event and the disease rules state that it builds regardless of me being at the event or not. Does this still apply even though I am building a new character? My concern there is that I don't particularly want to start with a stage 3 dysenteric coast havener from the get go. Sure, there's great chances for role playing, but I'd prefer to not soil my new pants out of the gate.

3) Do I go through the new player welcome mod again immediately upon lay-on now or do I get to just dive straight into the game?

Thanks for the help,
Chris M.

1-Yes u get all credit

2. Don't worry about it... We can remove it

3. I'd say it couldn't hurt to do the intro mod with this new character.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
