Are you the actor or the character they're playing? That is the question.

Is your personality the synaptic patterns in your brain, or is it just a collection or traits and memories being processed by them?

I'm not sure how to describe this properly, but what I'm suggesting is that you can recreate a person not by scanning every neuron and simulating them, but by understanding the person's character alone. Knowing their personality and the experiences that helped shape it.

Maybe I'm not describing this right, but I think I'm onto something. Basically, fine-tuning an intelligence using the collection of traits and knowledge that made you, rather than recreating your exact neurology on a computer. Different actor, same character.

That's the succession system in AKB0048 with hints of Blood Names of Battletech and certain 17th and 17th century notions of reviving your dead spouse through the education of another in their ways.

You essentially try to method act to the point of becoming the character. But it's still very much an interpretation of the character.
