I've had two PCs die so far. One was rezzed by the Seal; the other elected to make a new PC. He still wanted to use the Relationship rules, so another player (with some input from me) created a short list of relationship traits intended for PCs created above 1st level.
Kindred Spirit
You recently met a very interesting traveller in your current place of residence. If it is Koya you met at a temple service or local shrine to Desna. For Ameiko she saw you performing in a tavern and approached you after your performance with praise and some questions. For Sandru, you met in a tavern where you were both engaged in a drinking contest. You immediately hit it off, discovering that you had quite a bit in common. They confided in you that they were engaged in an epic-sounding quest, and you’ve been feeling a bit restless lately. It sounds like your new friend could use your help with this quest, so you’ve volunteered to join up. If your new friend is Koya, you get a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks and Knowledge (religion) is always a class skill for you. If your new friend is Ameiko, you get a +1 trait bonus on any one Perform check and Perform is always a class skill for you. If your new friend is Sandru, you get a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saves. In addition for any NPC, you get a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten your new friend.
NPC choices: Ameiko, Sandru, Koya.
Lost Scion
You are a surviving member of one of the other four royal families of Minkai, from a minor branch of lesser nobility. Your grandparents sent one of your parents into hiding after the murder of Emperor Shigure, and they raised you in secret. You recently had a vivid dream in which a young Tien woman awoke sitting upon the throne of Minkai. You are certain that this was no ordinary dream and have set out to find this woman, hoping that if you can help her achieve the throne, your own family will be restored to prominence as well. Your noble background, though impoverished, gives you a +1 trait bonus on Diplomacy checks and Diplomacy is always a class skill for you. In addition, you get +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten the woman who can help avenge your family.
Additional requirement: Human or half-elf of Tien-Min descent only.
NPC choices: Ameiko.
Love at First Sight
You recently fell in with a party of adventurers traveling as part of a Varisian caravan. They introduced you to a number of people traveling with the caravan, and the sight of one of them struck you like a thunderbolt from the sky. You decided that day to drop everything and join the caravan, because surely, this is destiny! You gain a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten the object of your infatuation. Once per day, you may attempt to earn a kind word or a smile from the NPC by making a DC 15 Charisma check. If you’re successful, the elation and joy at the attention gives you a +1 trait bonus on all saving throws for the remainder of the day. If you’re ever lucky enough to win the NPC’s love, this +1 trait bonus on saving throws applies at all times, as long as your relationship remains active.
NPC choices: Any.
On the Run
You need to get out of town, quickly. Perhaps you are in over your head with a local crime boss, or you were caught in bed with the wife of a prominent citizen. Luckily for you, you recently met a Varisian caravan master named Sandru drinking in your favorite bar. You hit it off immediately and he agreed to help you give your enemies the slip by taking you on as a caravan guard. Your low character gives you a +1 on Bluff checks and Bluff is always a class skill for you. In addition, you get +1 on all attack rolls against foes who threaten the man who you feel saved your life.
NPC choices: Sandru.
Oni Stalker
You know of the existence of the evil possessing spirits known as “oni,” and you are learning how to fight them. Someone you trust has sent you to the elven ranger Shalelu to learn more. You gain +1 trait bonus on damage rolls against evil native outsiders. In addition, you get a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls against foes that threaten Shalelu.
Additional requirement: Stealth, 1 rank.
NPC choices: Shalelu.
Will these have the normal bonus to the relationship scores or will there be a bit of boost to compensate for not starting at the beginning?

It's up to the GM. I'm saying they start the relationship from scratch (except for the bonus for choosing a trait). It's not gonna break anything if you give them the level-up bonuses, but it's also not gonna break anything if you don't.
The lost scion idea sounds like a character idea I had minus being a memeber of the royal family. I like what you have for character traits very cool.
