1. Giving your character a second past life must be discussed with players who currently have a character with a significant tie to that character. Generally, this would be family, SOs, best friends, etc. Ultimately, it's your decision, but it's a good rule of thumb to make sure others are on board with your plans.
2. You should not use this as an opportunity to pick up multiple major characters. Charlie, for example, can't be dreaming about Leia and then pick up a second past life belonging to Harry Potter (since I couldn't think of a better example lol). This is a good opportunity to form connections that may have otherwise gone unfilled. For example, Jack (who's actually dreaming about Harry Potter 😉) could pick up a second past life of Bail Organa (#notsorry for the shameless plug).
2a. The exception, of course, would be if a major character has been a "wanted character" for a long time and you can reasonably assume it's not going to be filled and you have permission from the proposed canon's canonmates to do so. This also applies to fandoms that are lesser known since they are also less likely to be filled.
3. This should be used sparingly. We won't set any limitations on when and how you can do this because we've always wanted this game to be what you guys want to make of it. However, make sure you're giving your primary canon the attention it deserves and not leaving your character's canonmates behind. Characters can have dreams of both lives at the same time (so new characters could technically be picked up with dual canons), but just make sure you're not utilizing this new twist at the expense of already existing connections.
