Any advice for handling race in reincarnation situations?

@swamp-spirit asked:

I'm writing a story that includes characters being reincarnated with completely different appearances. It's a fantasy world, and most of the characters are being reborn in the same region, but I still want a range of skin tones and features in the main cast (this is a comic). I have weird feelings about a character being 'reborn' with notably lighter or darker skin, but it also feels implausible and lazy for people to Just Happen to have a similar appearance when the theology of the story doesn't support it. Characters being reborn, and taking out things specific to real life groups, what are the major things you'd want an author to read up on or take into account? (Note: there is not a 'white' looking ethnic group in this story)

I don’t think it’s a problem as long as the skin tones don’t have any correlation to the circumstances that they’re reincarnated into.

- SK

It’s an interesting question, because in most religions where reincarnation/ transmigration of the soul is a feature of “what happens after death”, remembering one’s past life is not really part of the package deal. From what you’ve written, it’s not clear to me where the “memory” of these characters’ lives are held. Is there a 3rd person omniscient narrator telling the audience who each person is in their next life or do the characters themselves retain memory of past lives?

Assuming this is your typical reincarnation scenario where characters retain no memory of previous lives, it doesn’t much matter. The next life is the next life. Who a person was in their previous life and that identity, in theory, means nothing to them. This also means whatever personality, values, experiences and so on they had in their previous life no longer has meaning. They are, in effect, another person. However, you say you feel awkward about the above which makes me wonder if characters are remembering past lives, in which case…

If you study pretty much any major Asian religion where reincarnation is a part of the belief system, having no memory of the previous life is par for the course. In present-day religions like Jainism, Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism, only “special” (I’m using the term very casually here) entities like bodhisattvas, guru, arihant, buddhas, etc. usually get to keep their memories, while the rest of us (literal) mere mortals are supposed to lose our memories between lives as a part of Samsara. In Hinduism, even the gods often forget their previous lives, unless their reincarnation had a targeted purpose (Like being born to defeat an evil entity).

For most people, it is only through prayer, devotion, meditation and accumulated virtuous/ good/ compassionate deeds that humans are thought to deepen their understanding of the nature of the universe, and thus have the capacity to remember past lives (I’m, again, paraphrasing very loosely here from several years worth of university history+religion courses).

This is why the isekai genre in Japan is largely regarded as a “cheat”/ parody genre of fantasy. The protagonist, according to common Japanese cultural beliefs, which are quite heavily grounded in Buddhism, is definitively “cheating.” Not to get too ironically biblical, the character’s success often comes from the forbidden knowledge borne of their previous life.

Thus, there are two ways I look at your characters’ predicaments:

It’s not technically reincarnation - not by the way most major world religions define reincarnation, anyway. You have people who died now inhabiting other bodies, but that’s not the same as the transmigration of the soul. Also, you want to delve into the weirdness (and maybe heaviness) of “Wow, I went to sleep with one face and woke up with another.” There are certainly stories about people who have had dramatic cosmetic plastic surgery, weight loss surgery, HRT, etc. and then experienced the difference in the “before” versus “after” of how their altered physical appearance makes them feel, as well as how other people treat them. Even if the community your characters are born into now differs from their previous community (Which I guess would make this more a “I traveled between dimensions, and my appearance altered in the process” sci-fi adjacent affair), their new life will still have social environments with differing attitudes towards human physical appearance that will affect your characters’ emotional states.

Isekai it up and play with the ridiculous contradiction of having past lives and differing memories of one’s appearance. Isekai manga, manhwa and webtoons all make use of this trope heavily, especially with protagonists who experience a “glow-up” (Ex. Going from a Plain Jane OL to beautiful fantasy heroine) or, by contrast, protagonists who end up in very different forms from their original lives (Tensura, I’m a Spider, So What?). I’d be creative and go even more granular. Being able to tan after a lifetime of getting sunburns or no longer needing glasses might be nice, but what if the new body lacks the enzymes to process dairy or alcohol? What about dealing with differences in hair texture? Skincare routines? What about living life as a very tall person after being quite short or vice versa? What if you bumped into an acquaintance from your previous life, and one of you clearly got a more “coveted” reincarnation? See how far of an extreme you can take this idea until it feels too uncomfortable or ridiculous.

Marika.

...am i alone in thinking this looks kind of better?

ok, so, i caught myself in an obsessive moment in regard to HADES II designs, i noticed something i saw in the first game too, that being a general desaturated greyness when it came to characters with darker skintones. In particular, i saw odysseus skintone being the same as the parchments on his belt, and it started to bother me uhuh.

Let's be clear, i don't think my quick recolor is "correct", now that i look at it, i probably went to the opposite problem and saturated it too much, but still; the "grey" gods (not to be confused with the chtonic ones) do not feel like people with dark skin to me.

that might be due to me just not having in archive people that look like this, and so i spent the evening looking at people trying to understand where this feeling came from, either from personal bias and expectations or from something missing in these designs.

My conclusions are that AAAAH i don't know, but i think it's because they've been colored as if they were light skin people but with no saturation and shadowier. even darker skin people with cool undertones in cool environments do not seem to match. also, a lack of reflection and shine, which seems to increase with more melanin.

i dunno, they are fine as they are, but it kinda bothers me now that i noticed it.

Choosing the right colours for your skin tone

Did you know that there are different clothing colours for your skin tone? Just like choosing jewelry, you can complement your complexion with the colours you wear! This process involves looking at your undertone, hair colour, and eye colour.

Typically, most people are placed into four different seasons or colour palettes. Check out this picture below to find colour palettes that can accentuate your skin tone.

Cool Hues

Summer Wardrobe Colors

If you got summer as your season, chances are you have blue veins or light-coloured eyes. It can be a bit confusing because we relate tanned skin to summertime. However, when it comes to wearing a summer colour palette, clothing looks best on those that contain cool undertones! You probably burn easily when out in the sun. Summer wardrobe colour palette that will feel the most vibrant will be muted colours with a cool hue. You will look great in Rosey-pink lipstick and may often wear sky blue.

Winter Wardrobe Colors

On the other hand, if you are a winter, you will have dark hair, dark eyes, and a cool undertone. This undertone must not be mistaken for being fair-skinned, but rather, your skin and hair often contrast harmoniously. Winters look best in sharp, contrasting colours. They will feel the most vibrant when wearing bright colours with a cool hue. You will look good in firecracker red lipstick. Wearing a navy blue will also look great on a winter-toned person.

Warm Hues

Spring Wardrobe Colors

In contrast to the seasons above, if you are a spring, you will have a warm skin undertone and will see your veins as green. Similar to Summer, you will have light hair and light eyes (this does not refer to the colour, but rather the brightness and dimension of your hair and eyes). Spring's tend to tan easily and have a 'yellow hue' or golden look' to them. True Springs look the most vibrant in bright colours with a warm hue. You will look good in orangey-red lipstick and may often wear aqua blue.

Autumn Wardrobe Colors

Autumns will also have warm skin undertones. Unlike springs, Autumns tend to have darker hair and eyes. They will also tan easily. True Autumns look the most vibrant in muted colours with a warm hue. You will look good in cranberry red lipstick and often wear teal blue. After taking the quiz I found out I’m a mix of autumn and spring Colours!

Super specific ask, but I want to get it right!

I’m writing an Edwardian Era drama, featuring a noble young black man who grew up rather sickly, and was very studious and sheltered. As he prepares to inherit his father’s title, he comes into his own, becomes more active outdoors, and gets overall healthier.

Would it be inappropriate—or just plain inaccurate—to describe a change in his complexion as his health improves? I don’t mean he went from sickly pale (like the Victorian consumption aesthetic) to Suddenly Melanated. But like he went from being somewhat taupe to a more deep, rich mahogany shade.

If this is not appropriate or accurate, I can easily describe his change in physique and energy and not mention his skin at all. The only reason I wanted to at all was to cast dark skin in a positive light and not give colorism an inch.

Physically ill Black man, skin color gets richer as he gets healthier

Your Black character’s skin color becoming a deeper and richer brown is a good way to show the change in his health and is fine to mention. For one, dark-skinned people can have an ashen cast or duller skin when they’re not in prime physical health. Tones may also change with the seasons and amount of sunlight a person gets.

For example:

My skin is a richer brown in the summer. It gets even richer when I'm outdoors a lot.

That “tan” starts to fade out with the fall and winter, as there’s less sunshine and I spend more time indoors. My skin remains brown, of course, just a less richer brown of the summer months.

Also, I wear sunscreen year-round and live in the Midwest, USA climate.

Pictured above: Close-ups of my skin tone in early August, Late October, and late December. Photos taken with the same phone camera, the same year, in outdoors lighting.

How much someone might brown / tan varies by person, but brown skin indeed can change with the seasons and amount of light they get. So, with a Black character who is both physically sick and does not go outside much, it makes sense for his pallor to become richer in complexation as he gets more sunshine and is healing.

Also, his browner skin indicates health improvements in your story, so you’re not implying anything negative in connection to dark brown skin.
