The Road Not Taken Meme

Save the Earth requires all characters, no matter how fantastical, to be reincarnated as normal people and animals. But "normal" encompasses a lot of options.

What if you had chosen a different reincarnation for your characters? Did you have other ideas? What if they were closer to their preincarnation selves - or farther away? If they were in high school, or the prime of their lives, or animals, or human?

Give a short (~1 sentence) recap of who the preincarnation is, then who their reincarnation is and why you picked that, and then lay out some alternative options. Would they have had the same Echoes? Reacted to them differently? How would they handle events? Comment on these or play things out, if you like!

Yuuya is a ~teenaged superspy~ masquerading as the most popular guy in school, friendly, easygoing, and secretive. Julien is out of school entirely and aimless, but friendly and easygoing enough to easily make friends.

Yuuya's dual nature meant choosing between "spy" and "popular". So Julien is "popular". I didn't want him in high school or college since I didn't want to have to incorporate school. |D And built-in aimlessness is fun. I could have made him more "spy", because I love that fanart. I don't know if he'd have been a spy so much as in some position in the military, I'd have to research things! He'd have been the same age (25) and a similar background, and also friendly, but... less so.

Also he's a pigeon, so I could've made him start off as a normal bird instead. That version of him would be happier with life, unless I got him certain echoes, though he'd be bothered by not being taken seriously. He would also ride on people's shoulders a lot and pull on their hair and ears in fun.
