If I keep my memories, do I keep the knowledge of what's happening in the story next?
My main character from 6,75, Kestrel, is a thief. The total amount she's accused of stealing is so big that she'd face a death penalty if she got caught. Anddd she gets caught, but manages to escape the punishment with a help of a famous inventor. She starts working for him, but also considers running away with most of his fortune.
Now, if I switched places with her, knowing what happens next, I'd probably do a big "I'm out of here"... and then die of hunger in the forest, because I've been living my whole life in a city and I'd have a very low survival chance in a medieval world, not being able to enter any town unless I want myself to get caught CX
If I switched places with her not knowing what happens next and just trying to live like her, well... Karamanczi (the inventor) would have a riddle why his thief suddenly can't steal a thing CX but it would be a blessing for other characters, especially city guard, who would finally be able to relax c;
