Hi guys,
I hope you are well. I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to track characters who live many lives within a story (as in they get born and die many times). What I specifically want to track is their interactions in each additional life. Would appreciate your input.
Kind regards,
Parham
Would you prefer the age if the person to be across all reincarnations or can each one have their own age? You can have the age of a person to be shown at events, and if you don’t care about the total age you could number the incarnations like we number kings; Sebastian I, Sebastian Ⅳ, Sebastian Ⅷ, etc. I don’t think Aeon supports multiple start and end times for the same item (person, event, …).
Another idea is to have each incarnation as above, and all have a relationship to another person that represent the “complete” character – maybe that person’s “age” can be calculated. I don’t know how to configure the items properly for that to work.
Hi @geargat! Sorry for the late reply. I want each person to have their lifespan = age (with birth and death) per reincarnation, and to have continuity in the other lives, so that I can track the interactions across all lives they have lived in the Subway view. At the moment, the only choices I see is to:
Am I missing any option?
Is it possible to create an item type, e.g. “Immortal being” to instantiate parents to group your characters (“incarnations”)? I think, this corresponds to the first selection point in your post above.
If so, can you assign “immortal beings” to events, as well as the incarnations? Would this solve your problem?
