Old Powers Reborn

In addition to their retained abilities, they can emit Dying Will Flames throughout their entire body. The Arcobaleno are also mentioned to be "walking out of time", meaning that they cannot age or die of old age. However, the holder of the Sky Arcobaleno Pacifier is an exception. Instead of being cursed with the body of an infant, the holder is cursed with a short lifespan. In Luce's case, she had both curses. The Sky Arcobaleno also has the power of insight, and the power to resurrect deceased Arcobaleno by sacrificing their own life. It looks like she won't be happy with us for a while.

Since that day, Tsunami pretended her father didn't exist and stayed with her mother, or by herself to his dismay. Thus Iemitsu's final year with his family, was a sad one because Tsunami never forgave them for it and as far as the girl is concerned, she no longer has a father.

Meninas McAllon reincarnates as Sawada Tsunami. And boy, does this have consequences Childhood She died because of Auswahlen, not because Lil killed her. For Meninas, that's a good enough excuse to fucking die, so she did. So memories stripped of emotional attachment will affect society differently than actual personality transference.

So society will definitely be very different. I almost wonder if people will just cluster in one area of the planet so your past memories will retain as much viability to your new life as possible. Since memories persist I think there would be a much lower birth rate once a modern medical system is established as environmental change would be a lot more noticeable, so human impact on the ecosystem would have to be very minimal.

Prolonged peacetime, conversely, may lead to population booms and a fresh injection of new souls, suckers that could be sent to do the hard jobs the old souls no longer what to do.

Some very interesting human genetic manipulation could also be possible. Only the tall and strong may be allowed to mate, for example, since there would be no pressing need to procreate since you could just wait for a more favorable reincarnation and would have memories to appreciate the change in the population. Can a soul be destroyed? Ascend into a heaven? No one may ever know but I suspect religions would spring up around these ideas and lead to ideological clashes. Think about how many people make tons of money and wield great influence simply because they have a knack for reading people and can predict, with a decent amount of accuracy, what people will do.

The Stock Market runs on this knack. A company is doing something and the sharp analyst predicts how people will react to that particular event.

Samsung announces the most amazing technology, say they have cracked the secret to Smell-o-vision and are looking to incorporate it into the Gear-VR. The Old soul analyst is going to hear about this and because of long experience with people and patterns, will be able to predict with a greater degree of accuracy than most.

He will then invest or not accordingly. In Politics, the Old Soul is going to be able to say "Hey guys, We tried this in Rome and the next thing we knew we got an Emperor and well, we had to stab him Books and other kinds of records are fantastic for getting information down and learnable, but how many times have you read something from long ago and find yourself wishing for the opportunity to ask questions?

With serial reincarnation, you not only get to ask them, but the answers will have the benefit of everything experienced since. Engineering and technology will get a boost, but as a pass along effect.

The Pass along will come from the more pure, observational sciences. Advances will come there because the deep, profound, understanding will be retained. The Reincarnation of someone like Einstein is going to be able to really understand relativity at a pretty young age without having to go through 8 years of school just to get his math up to scratch enough to follow it. Quantum theory is the same sort of thing. The old souls get to skip 30 years of learning what their predecessors figured out and move right along to creating new stuff and breaking new ground.

Those advances are going to drive technology pretty fast, but it won't be direct benefit. You can have a lot of fun trying to figure out how to do serial inheritance and the nuances surrounding intellectual property. People are talking about experience, but a person's successes can be blinding. Revering someone could make that person aloof and careless. Some people do not want to see that they are in danger until it is too late. Etienne said it quite eloquently: It is the knowledge of their errors which would make a human with several reincarnations so formidable. It would prevent someone from losing precious lifetime pursuing something s he will never be able to be good at.

It would prevent you from doing something because other people are urging you in a direction and you are neglecting yourself. It prevents false friends. It prevents you from having too rosy a picture of the people surrounding you and it prevents despair because you know that there are people out there who care. And simple knowledge by telling people often does not have the required effect; unfortunately, people seemingly need to experience it themselves. My mother said times "Don't touch the plates" when I was small.

It took only one time of actually experiencing it to cure my curiosity permanently and I was very careful to ignore advice and explore things with my hand afterwards. Knowledge which gives advantage translates to power. Implicitly, this knowledge has to be relatively uncommon. Exactly what knowledge gives you advantage depends upon context. Being able to understand an ancient language or text, for example, might be very beneficial excavating or discovering a buried treasure, but otherwise may not be very useful. Knowledge of how to construct ancient machinery would not normally be useful in a modern society, but might become useful if that society was to break down, or in situations where modern artefacts were unavailable, like being stranded on a desert island.

Knowing how to steer by the stars would be useful where modern navigation devices were either unavailable, or unreliable for other reasons. All knowledge, especially social skills, is likely to date in some way though. The art of subtle persuasion in one era might appear as bullying in another, or a simple courtship interpreted as attempted rape. While certain bare facts may be useful having textbook facts to hand might make exams easier, if your society chooses to examine people , I think methodologies might be more helpful.

If you're in a modern universe, I guess it depends who the person is. If you're a historian, great! If you're a structural engineer, maybe you could get some inspiration from memories. If you're working at the cutting edge of digital technology, past souls probably won't be of much help. You describe a world full of deception where super-villains and super-heroes battle each other across the generations.

Consider a multiply reincarnated sociopath who has spent many lifetimes honing not just skills in manipulating victims, but also in remaining hidden from those who would expose him or interfere with his plans. Maybe he started small preying on neighbors and business associates , but repeated success and increased experience would inevitably push him to grander schemes like world domination.

Endowed with deep patience and a master of op sec, he could afford to wait or even die if this life does not lend itself well to his long-term plans or if the inevitable blunder risks exposing his evil plans before they come to fruition. Very few, if any, of his peers could ever be allowed to know he is The Great Master Mahan reborn; better to rebuild the empire from scratch each time in order to avoid attention from unwanted nemeses. Similarly, those who would stop such villains will have learned from multiple lifetimes not to make themselves targets, because the villain will have learned many lifetimes ago not to repeat any of the classic villain blunders.

The hero knows his adversary will place high priority on systematically finding and eliminating heroes and competitors alike. Then there are the twists. Repeated failure might eventually reform some would-be sociopaths, if they become convinced that "normal" life is more comfortable in the long run.

They might become formidable anti-heroes, fighting other villains with motives that may or may not have become pure. Fallen heroes could in turn become formidable new villains. Those who are neither villains nor heroes would do well to avoid attention. Whether they aspire to become villains or heroes or merely wish to avoid becoming pawns in plots that span generations. They would quickly learn that shadowy forces wrestling for power and influence will not think twice about using or destroying anyone in their path. If money is directly inheritable, you can keep growing wealth. If not, then hiding funds knowing that you will eventually remember the hiding place would be the way to go.

In modern times, that includes the account numbers of bank and investment accounts. Compounding interest will make anyone who lives long enough very wealthy. However, if everyone was doing that then the effect would be nullified as inflation would increase by a proportional amount. If everyone in the civilisation has this ability leads to a different outcome than if some individuals only can take their memories with them. If only some people recover past memories they will eventually become the elite and probably splinter into factions contending against other factions for temporary and permanent supremacy.

If you can turn a gathering into a group, a group into a mob, and a mob into a movement, then you have power. If your world allows people to know who is who across reincarnations, then tracking who owes and is owed favours is also power, if society still values promise-keeping. Theoretical physics would grow in leaps and bounds, because the great thinkers would leverage previous lifetimes' learning with a year gap between lives. This should trickle down to applied science as the ideas need to experimentation and validation. This may actually lead to a slowing down of the rate of change of human knowledge without a sense of urgency driving whatever manifest destiny great thinkers perceive.

Similar to the charge that Confucianism was responsible for the stagnation of Old China. Society risks over-valuing a status quo of stability and safety promoted by old souls. A bias to action may well be a timeless skill. If the majority analyses and plans, a lucky few who take frequent and manageable risk should outperform the pack. Actually this thought can be generalised to say that the absolute timeless skill is the proper understanding and valuation of risk. If a course of action pays off 1 in 20 times but returns 1 to then that is a risk worth taking this is not just in gambling.

People are bad at evaluating risk.

See research into Risk and Bias in the field of Neuroeconomics. Of course we don't know what the physical limits of memory are. On not only a social level, but on a scientific way. Socially if the generation that firmly believed in slavery and no women voting NEVER DIED, or at least never relinquished power in a real way, you can bet we would be stuck. As to science, Max Planck said it best: A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Same here, only let us consider resumes over the centuries No progression here because new people would not be allowed the room to grow. You think that things will be outdated, because you believe that there will be advancement. But there will also be people invested in keeping things exactly the same, or close to it. Therefore, if you had a vast fortune, you might want changes to only be incremental.

Memories in humans normally fade, and you can definitely argue this would happen even with historical souls. You can take one of two paths with this historical souls idea or salt and pepper to taste. Memories are frozen at death, in a Avatar the Last Airbender style where the Avatar can freely access any information ever known by any previous Avatar. They can simply know anything that has happened to them before by trying to remember it. This is the approach that I expect to be discussed most by others so I will leave it for the time being.

Alternatively the memories can fade with time the same as anything else. This means that someone might be born with amazing knowledge Like how the most brilliant college student might struggle with simple algebra simply because its been a long time since they had to use the more base skills, or simply how people slowly forget things they used to know because they don't use them now but not how memories are fogged by age however, these are new minds and only the memories are old.

This second way can pose its own interesting aspects because an old soul would still gain life experiences and emotional understanding far before a new soul would, as those aren't often forgotten. Additionally, if they did decide to pursue the same interests as some of their more recent ancestral souls they would definitely have an easier time with it because of their recent knowledge.

They may even have very slight advantages with anything that any of their past souls has done, the way that you can more easily ride a bike after you have learned the first time. This would slowly build up over many topics, professions, and skills, making them just have a knack for more things. They wouldn't have an instant well of knowledge but something about it would just seem Power from this type of memory comes from the mistakes that you don't make, the inherent people skills and ability to judge a situation or person. Why do we tell young children not to get in the car with strangers?

Because they lack judgement.

Soldiers might not have the edge they do while in active duty 30 years later, but I sure wouldn't want to mess with a well trained soldier no matter how long it had been since they were released from duty. They are going to have instincts and the ability to judge a fight or find an exit that a civilian will probably never have. Imagine a business tycoon starting their empire at the age of The sheer advantages of judgement and charisma alone would give them a massive edge on the new souls in the business or politics world.

Imagine heritage soldiers, trained over generations by finding the previously trained souls probably testing the population for an obscure and long keyphrase or alphanumeric code all trainees memorize and having soldiers with lifetimes of experience and instincts.
