When ladder season is up...

[ShadowHM]

Personally when this Ladder season is up I'm gonna start over in the new Ladder again

Any new characters I start at that time will be new ladder characters. But should (as is rather likely) any of my previous ladder characters have not completed the game to Patriarch/Matriarch status, I will continue playing them. I have no urge to get to a certain level, but I do like progressing right through the game (i.e. through every area) with each character.
