Reincarnation
Upon death, a soul is judged. If it is not worthy of becoming a god, it will either be sent to be reborn or to hell depending on its wrongs and rights done in life.
Transmission & Vectors
Reincarnation is doled out in the afterlife by supernatural juries who look at a person's record of life.
The juries themselves debate on what kind of body a reincarnated soul should be.
In rarer cases, particularly powerful souls have ignored the juries' orders and taken over the lives they wanted.

Causes
Once a person dies, their spirit energy will head to the afterlife to be judged by a hellside council.
Spirit energy that has not done any great wrongs towards themselves or others but aren't notable enough to ascend to godhood will be given a second chance at life in another body born from scratch.

Symptoms
The reincarnated person generally will have no symptoms, but an experienced occultist can read traces of previous soul material that was recycled to create the new life.
A reincarnated person could be the opposite gender and personality of their old life; even having opposite preferences if the soul cleansing was particularly thorough.

Treatment
Once a reincarnated person is identified, treatment is usually to leave them to live their new lives instead of hounding them for their past mistakes.
Prognosis
Reincarnation is usually not fatal, being a second chance at life.
There was a case of a failed reincarnation which destroyed the previous soul used and created a pair of twins who had compressed and corroded past memories, because the Emperor of Heaven tried to grant a new life exactly as one of her subjects requested.

Sequela
Lost memories that are actually from the first life may resurface especially if a time-powered splendoro interferes with them. Most reincarnated people dismiss them as flights of fancy.
Prevention
There is no way to prevent this as reincarnation is a method of recycling soul material until a person either achieves godhood or nirvana.
Cultural Reception
Reincarnation is a core belief of Chinese folk religion. Reincarnated people are seen differently depending on who they are rebirths of.
An avatar of a criminal would be feared unless they have proven themselves clean in the new life.
