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!

In canon, Torin is millions of years old, a bird-dinosaur-man, and hangs out with robot dinosaurs and those humans the robot dinosaurs have chosen as partners.

In StE, he is a zoo parrot. But I almost had him reincarnate as a normal human who would turn into said bird-dinosaur-man, though in the end I decided the parrot would be infinitely more entertaining, mostly because I already had one character going through the "turning into a monster" thing, and that a parrot would be way more into growing thumbs.

But if he had been a human, I'm not quite sure what angle I would have taken with him. He possibly would have been a paleontologist who worked at Locke's Natural History museum and practiced fencing in his spare time.
