Instead of arriving discreetly on your new world, or assuming an extant identity, you are intentionally summoned in a magical (or technological) ritual. Your summoner doesn't actually have a way to control you with the ritual, but they will know that you're an outsider. For Drop-Ins this is straightforward, but for Reincarnations or Character Inserts, the ritual put you in the person's body.
