Toggled Option in Character Sheet Cogwheel to Activate/Deactivate Character Archiving

I've been kicked out of a few games, and in those few games, I put on a lot of work into my character by providing photos, full extensive backgrounds and biographies. The amount of work I put into a character comes from my own ideas, self-made and original. When DM's throw you out, it doesn't mean your hard work disappears with you -- not at all. I've been very suspecting of some DM's throwing people out of games and disappearing from Roll20 or making you design an entire character, and then suddenly disappears when you've written up the entire thing. I don't want my work stolen or when I am kicked out of the game, still accessible for a DM to use as if it were his own work.

Thus, I am proposing a cogwheel option that allows you to disable all forms of archiving and character sheet history saving so if you are thrown out, the sheet disappears with you and cannot be restored by the DM. This not only protects your work, but also gives you a peace of mind that they aren't stealing your ideas.

This would be an amazing idea, I just found a DM that told me about how he enjoys doing this to people and how he now has an amazing archive of "NPCs" for his campaign. 


Can we get something that gives the players some form of protection for their intellectual property! Spending hours to make a character and their backstory shouldn't be something so easily stolen!
