Reincarnation

Everyone knows the feeling of when you see someone and you know you've seen them before. Isn't that a part of déjà vu? But what if the connection you have with that person goes beyond the superficial recognition of familiarity? Perhaps you were connected once...in the most intimate of ways. Some religions and philosophies believe in reincarnation of souls, and it's said that souls could be reincarnated together - once again to follow out the same path they did before.
Or maybe not. Maybe it could be a second chance for fixing things that went wrong before, like the a tragedy or circumstances keeping you apart. But can you take that chance? Do you even want to?
♥ Comment with a character.
♥ You can decide on whether your character is aware of this reincarnated lifestyle, semi-aware, not aware at all or not. Maybe only one knows and the other doesn't! Maybe neither knows!
♥ You are also free to choose previous lifetime settings and play those out instead or include them, whatever (ie medieval, wartime, pre-arranged marriages, early death, etc etc).
♥ You are certainly free to choose your own prompt if you got one, but I thought I'd list a few as ideas:
01. (Not So) First Meeting: You could swear you've seen this person before...but where?
02. Need to Be Near You: You don't know why, but you have to be close to this person, to protect them, to love them.
03. Memories: You're having memories of your past life and it's freaking you out.
04. The Reveal: Somehow, the truth is revealed to you about who you used to be and what you life was like with this person.
05. But I'm Taken: Unfortunately, you've already moved on to someone else who doesn't fit into the picture of your past.
06. New and Old: One of you is an old soul who has gone through many lifetimes (and perhaps had already fallen in love) but a person with a bright new soul has sparked something within you that you've forgotten long ago . . .
07. An Honest Mistake: You have gone through so many reincarnations just for each other, but you guys keep fucking it up. Doesn't mean you won't keep trying to make it work.
08. Alternate Timelines: In another timeline, it couldn't work. But somehow one event changed (perhaps you were aware that you can change events) and you're trying again to make it work.
09. You only live once: Your character is actually immortal so your soul is literally connected to the body and cannot reincarnate. But the person you love reincarnates like every other person.
10. One Soul, Two Bodies: Apparently, you are not the only one with your soul (perhaps time shenanigans happened). This is probably problematic for whatever reason.
11. Canon is a Past Life: Whatever happened in a character's canon was actually a past life. Perhaps CR within a game is actually a past life. This is an excuse to use pre-established CR as a past life.
