[PM] - Prompt Me a character and a little bit about them and I'll write about a moment that shaped them. So their name, what they do for a living, and a line about their personality. Might not be able to do loads of them but I'll do my best.

[WP] The reason we don't remember our previous reincarnations is because most past lives in the pre industrial era were short affairs that often ended before the child even made it to 5, making storing memories frankly a huge waste of time. Now things are changing, people are starting to remember
