Vannish

Hello, I have played in Vendetta before, I wanted to come back to play with a friend who has never played Eden Eternal, however when trying to create a character it appears to always be created at a high level. It seems like a lot has changed here. Is there any way to revert to level 1? I'd like to give my friend a more 'genuine' Eden Eternal experience instead of immediately overwhelming him with tons of information and jumping straight into endgame..
