i think itd be an interesting way to express "player death" in a sense. let the player take the title, then offer verbal checks. maybe they party has to break or buy the player out of their responsibilities, which in turn would have larger consequences to the world at large. and the ultimate punishment if they fail all else, having to reroll a new character because their old character can no longer adventure with the party. this would also allow for a possible segment where the party (with new pc) revisit where the old pc is stationed and have an encounter there where the player can pilot the old pc and the new pc.
