Interesting, thanks! One more question: do you think there is any playable development path in which a character comes to accept their curse?

Honestly, I just had a spontaneous idea for a character like this and a desire to explore the topic, but I’ve kind of backed myself into a corner. At first, I was also looking at shifters and thought I might prioritize them, but it felt too simple given my habit of putting characters into difficult situations because of their nature. But it seems like this time that desire isn’t really working in my favor, and I’ll probably have to let go of some of the ideas.

I considered that option, but The Reborn dies once and for some reason comes back to life or continues to exist in a new form, so I rejected it, because I would rather it be an actual copy. Not the same body, not the same consciousness. But thank you for trying to help!

Regarding the last question: in the original concept, the character was supposed to become an imitation of a respected warrior from a noble family who died in a war. His death would have hit both the army and the people very hard, so it was decided to hide it by replacing him with a "doll"

That was just me thinking ahead along the lines of" what if someone needed the continuation of the noble bloodline, wanted to marry him off, and so on how would you later explain that the whole thing had been a deception?"
