Continuation

A Continuation is a role bestowed upon an individuals upon the death or ego-death of another. The term is also used to refer to the bearer of the role itself.

Description
A Continuation is a societal role occasionally given to a trusted person of the deceased indivdual within the Weave Remnant. A Continuation inherits the memories of the deceased and carries out any remaining affairs and tasks they had sought out to finish. Culturally and legally, Continuations are treated as the same person as the deceased, being viewed much in the way as the deceased individual reborn.

In order for a Continuation to come into effect after a death or ego-death, an individual makes an agreement with a trusted friend and copies their memories into an external storage medium. Should the individual die, those trusted with the role are given the memories and in some cases personality data in order to complete their affairs. The positionn is one of great trust between both individuals, as one would be trusting the other to handle their affairs and not abuse the information their memories contain, while the other must be willing to deal with the burden presented by the unfinished duties.
