Allow individual access to characters in the character vault

I would like to suggest being able to open character sheets from the character Vault for personal viewing and editing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had a great character but the game turned out to be a flop for whatever reason. To make matters worse you forgot to make a hard copy of your character so you quickly import it to try and save what you'd put in before the game is deleted. Only once it's imported and you've left the game you can't access anything about the character other than their portrait and bio; perhaps you never realized that characters in the vault couldn't be accessed to record that information afterward. Your personality traits, backstory, skills, and other information about your character is then locked behind a wall that someone has to pay for. The ability to at least recover information from vaulted characters would be a nice thing to have.

 I think part of the issue with this is that the character sheet doesn't actually exist in the vault (as far as the html/css character sheet).  I think all it is storing is the contents of the attributes and abilities tab as far as your stats, spells, weapons, etc. are concerned.  So, it really isn't stored in an easily edited form.  If you play more than one game system, or even in games that use the same system but not the same sheet, the attribute names are likely to be different.  To be easily edited, the vault would need access to the html/css of each character sheet that your characters have come from. It will be interesting to see if any dev comments are made regarding this suggestion.
