Adventurer
Ok, posting while sick, so sorry if this isn't quite coherent.
Sorry I wasn't clear. Except in the cases of adventures that are clearly tied together (GDQ series, Dragonlance series, etc), each new adventure will have different characters. There will also be timeline jumps of varying amount between some adventures. For example, after Temple of the Frog, we will be jumping ahead 10,000 years and creating new characters in that era for Tomb of Horrors. Also, we'll be avoiding revisiting sites that have clear sequels like Return to the Tomb of Horrors.
That said, it all does happen in the same world (with a couple of exceptions, see the summary) so you could play a descendant of a previous character or a character who has some sort of legacy connection to a previous character.
For example, let's say your character dies in the Tomb of Horrors. About five years later, perhaps that character's child takes up adventuring to honor their parent's memory as they take on the giants and their dark masters.
