In this story, they are able to retain those memories and events. (That being said, a person who's lived for centuries might no have a complete grasp of their entire life due to being alive for centuries/millennia.)

I have another story in the works where someone can voluntarily shift between identities, but they are unable to remember previous events in that person's life (leading to their alienation). This story is meant to focus on our common grounds (and the horror of sharing people's identities/futures in the grand scheme of things) as opposed to what separates us and what can come from that.
