Usually I find if I'm losing connection its because where I want the character to go is getting muddled and they're in some sort of rutt. Or there is nothing active going on.
So... for the last one it's usually because I've had a break in RP. So its just a matter of getting back into RP.
The other its a bit more involved. Re-reading background. Seeing where they are at as a person. Where they could grow. Where they can break. What brings them out of whatever comfort zone rutt they're in. Then either finding or creating a small plot going that really makes me engage. RPing with new people helps because I can't predict how this new character is going to react to things.
So for a suggestion, you are using a personality type that you've long played. Perhaps do a bit of compare and contrast with how this character is turning our compared how to your SWTOR one did? See what sort of new character or situation your current character can meet or get into and explore new things?
