Multiple copies of a survivor
So when joining a trial there can be, for example, multiple Dwights or Claudettes. I know this is probably not canon but maybe there is an explanation that makes it possible lore-wise.
We know that time in the Entity's realm doesn't work like in the real world. Maybe the concept of time in the Entity's realm makes a survivor exist multiple times in the realm and one of those copies is, for example, a Dwight that is experiencing his first trial (New player) and the other Dwight has been in a lot of trials and knows how to avoid the killer with efficiency (Veteran player).
This is probably a stupid idea but I want to know what do you all think.

I think it is that we all play as false copies of the survivors. No one has yet played the true versions of the survivors, therefore with different play styles, clothing opinions, perks, etc.

My theory - Entity realm takes survivors and killers from different universes. So, characters from L4D, Saw, Halloween don't share one universe. Same goes for multiple copies of same survivors.

I used to think it was a stupid idea, but then a poster on Steam gave me an explanation that satisfies me a lot, maybe it will work for you too.
The Entity can bend time, so it's obviously able to feast from the same Survivor multiple times in the same match. If you could time travel you would probably also try to eat from the same All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant, I and that poster would. This makes sense to me, Like I would exploit time travel to eat multiple times at the same night at the All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant. The Entity exploits Time Travel to create multiple matches and eat from the survivors as many times as possible.
So is this silly, or Are you too going to use Time Bending to eat at a All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant?

Devs said you should just see it as a game mechanic.

Yup, devs just didn't want to limit other players.
But, since we know that the Entity doesn't understand time, and can pull Survivors from other timelines and universes, it's possible that it can happen.

The lore answer is that time works differently in the world of the Entity. The same survivor from different "Times" can be in the same place.
But then this brings the question. Is the "Future" self in the same trial living it again?
I am overthinking this so much

It's either time travel or the Entity has the world's best hair and make up team. Plus cloning.

How much budget does the Entity has? O.o
Commercial Break:

It's how the spirits hair is so wavy and sleek....

When a person enters the realm, an infinite number of them are created and they may encounter one another (like having 4 claudettes in a game and so on) and because of this infinte number of trials take place. For example a Nea could be replicating the same actions as another copy of herself in an entire other trial, but with the factors of which killer, what map, what survivors, Nea experiance an entire different trial that changes her decisions and such. So these infinite number of Neas can have infinite different variations of herself, so a Nea has an extremely smal chance of finding some who had the same expirences and looks like her

Of course this affects killers as well

As others have already said devs confirmed multiple times it's just a pure gameplay decision, but yeah, lore-wise it can be explained quite accurately by the Entity's powers to bend timelines and dimentions at it's will, and so making multiple "Dwights"or "Claudettes" met in the same Trail.
