Ok so I'm not submitting this I'm just wondering if anyone on this book tumblr poll knows what this book is, I've been trying to find it for years now but to no avail. I read it like once in middle school and have been wanting to reread it.
I can only remember snippets, but like, it's about a boy with white hair (Important detail) who's the son of a clone and of a high ranking official. His birth was not supposed to be possible as clones are made sterile, but this guy was cloned before they made clones sterile. They're trying to find a home planet after their old one got destroyed (I think)
I don't remember this kids name, but it turns out he's the reincarnation of this other guy who was born in ancient times when magic powers were a thing. He was born to a low ranking earth guy (bc they were common?) and to a high ranking fire priest (BC they're rare. I think. Not 100% sure on that. His mother didn't want anyone to know otherwise she would have lost her place at the temple.)
And I remember him going through all these hoops, as his past iteration, to find his missing parent.
I think the end of the book is like, him finding the coordinates of that old planet and directing his spaceship colony to it Wall-E style??
I also think the old white haired kid had all the powers (Special white hair privileges) AtLA style but I'm not very sure. All I know for certain is that the kid had white hair, he was an impossible (or not allowed) birth, and had some funky memory shit going on. And that the Current White Hair was on a spaceship in need of a planet all sci-fi like while Past White Hair just wanted to find his parents so he could know why he was different.
I'm probably getting a lot wrong and/or mixing up books (This was a standalone but I could be mixing it with other series) but I'm really hoping anyone here can help me out a bit
If anyone knows this book, speak up! I don't recognize it myself. Anon, you could also ask for help from r/whatsthatbook. I've gone there with descriptions multiple times, and they always solve it within the day.
