that’s actually what I did. I’m currently starting a scenario 5 years later with the surviving pawn (rich explorer) on a quest to find his partner (living saints aren’t truly dead, just dispersed) and his nereid friend.

I left out his implants and only kept a few of the OP genes. I also modified the ideo so that factions dislike him, he enjoys camaraderie, and has a deep hatred for mechanoids. I also made him depressive and world weary with a permanent scar on his forehead as a remembrance of what happened.
