I voted a timeskip. I always like timeskips as they leave room for additional RP later on. If you continuesly keep playing it is hard in the end to make up things like flashbacks or reasons for new things to happen. That would be because you already have filled all the gaps, not leaving room for secrets.
Now if you have a gap, you could use it for a flashback, that changed everything for you, without making it unrealistic.
Heck you could even add an evil part to yourself. You could roleplay you became evil, for a reason you changed back to being good, but some part is still there.
Now you have this evil part inside you, you can have a great roleplay dealing with it in the presence. You could do all kind of things with your character and still make it believeble.
Basicly it is the perfect to add new depths to a character that you've been using for so long it was becoming a routine. A time gap is just an almost unlimited bag of possibility's for your character.
So you have my vote!
