Aww, no base-jumping without a parachute then...
It's a little too cliché to be a goth witch, but I can probably think of something else pretty cool.
Yeah, I figure if no-one else has said anything I'll throw in a bit of a timeskip.

Though actually, Mira probably will have at least one question for an NPC - Really? No pain? No damage? Not even if I, say... fall off a roof?
Mira North


Mira wakes up in the park. She doesn't remember going to sleep in the park. She'd have a headache if she'd been out drinking, but as far as she recalls last night the most wild activity she got up to was a bowl of ice cream. Maybe it's a joke? A hidden camera thing? She usually feels more tired when she wakes up.

Mira sits up and swings sideways to sit on the bench. There's no clank as she sets her leg down. There's sensation too, proper sensation, not the crude approximation her prosthetic game. She rolls up the legs on her new pyjamas, not even caring where they came from.

Two legs. Two actual, real legs. She touches them. Pinches them. Everything she can think of to prove that it's not a dream. There's not even a scar. Her tattoo didn't grow back though... in fact, the woven reed pattern around her other ankle is gone too. but it's a small price to pay for her leg back.

By the time another person reaches her, Mira is mostly finished weeping, and is getting to her feet, stretching her legs properly for the first time in years.
Will do, to all of the above!

Appearance:

Biography: Born 2063, Mira always was an active child. Sporty and athletic, people always said her free-running, mountain climbing and urban exploration would get her hurt one day. so it's perhaps quite ironic that she ended up losing a leg asleep in bed when a runaway truck brought her house down.

She was fitted out with the best prosthetic her insurance could get, but it wasn't quite the same. It needed so much tweaking every day to match her regular leg and keep balance it was useless for sports.

But now she's in this miracle city, fresh and whole and it can never happen again. She can run and climb to her heart's delight... but then there's that invisible wall. Mira has spent a lifetime finding out what's on the other side of mountains, she's determined to find a way over this one.

Nah, I was just thinking maybe from the era that would maybe have cyberware. Actually, in this city of miracles, a character might be quite surprised to suddenly wake up having real legs again...
Hmm... First of all, I suppose it's entirely possible that the devs might have some hidden plotlines on the planet we're colonising. Alien ruins, rogue factions, a lost and classified '0th expedition'...

Secondly, what sort of tech level are the newly arrived colony pods dealing with? Punch trees to get wood and make a pickaxe, or load carbon-based matter into the nanoconverter and receive graphene tools?

finally... is it possible that an AI might find some cracks to slip through and do a little bit of hacking/glitching? I can think of a few fun things to play out.

The conspiracy mindset of me is also going to be wandering if any other human players are actually AIs... we can recognise our own that we started with, but who's to say this experiment isn't being run on others at the same time?
I might give something a go here... I'm thinking from the modern era, though it might be fun to be from a little further in the future. Is there a particular future we can't be from further than?
I'll have to think of something new in the meantime then...
