Actually, the way things are working right now, the answer is a bit of a "mixed bag:"
If your second character somehow lost skill through their lifetime, then your third character might potentially suffer for it. However, if your second character simply died over and over and there was no skill loss, your third character would very likely be fine.
However, you might lose access to certain techniques under your skills, as the way techniques are preserved is different from the way the skills are themselves within the soul. So you might not start the next character at exactly the same capability, but it's unlikely to be as a result of losing your skills.
Hope that helps! :)
Care to elaborate? I was under the impression from what was said in the past that you essentially start from square one when you put the same soul into another body but you've got a higher soft cap, or it's faster to get back to where you left off.
If it's only going off skill loss, does that mean that our characters start out with the same skills when you move the soul to the next in line or even a NTC?
So if this was the case, you'd start with the skills, but lack the techniques. Then what could make you lose the skill other than not using it, and causing atrophy?
Finally, so there isn't any skill progression to get back to where you left off, on the previous character?
