Looking to revive a Character - Solo or Small Group

I have a character that I made for a solo Adult game a few months ago that fell apart before we could really get started. It was a pulpy "semi-hard" sci-fi game focusing on a pleasure ship roaming the seedy galactic outer rim I would love to find another person willing to run a game for her, either as a Solo game again, or with a small group playing all playing as crew. The original game was FATE Core, and I have a character sheet prepared for her in that system, but I'm open to others.

Below is the character concept I wrote up for the previous game, in case it piques anyone's interest. Most of this is flexible if you want to change things.



Mari was a refugee from the Nanoplague unleashed on Antares IV. Millions perished as the infection slowly but surely consumed anything living. She made it off-world with a group of others, but one was infected, and it soon spread, killing almost everyone aboard their transport ship. Mari was the only survivor, but the infection had already spread almost entirely throughout her body before the rescue team arrived, rendering it completely unrecognizable. They had only one option - cut out her surviving brain and spinal cord, which remained intact, and hope for the best.

Her history gets a little murkier here. After years of rehab, accustoming herself to new prosthetic bodies, jumping back and forth between male and female forms, she finally settled on a female form and name - Mari. Then she dropped off the radar for a while, traveling to a world renowned both for its pursuit of the highest forms of luxury and hedonism, and its connections to organized crime. Through a combination of wits, willpower, and an utter lack of shame, she managed to get in the good graces of some pretty powerful people, including the somewhat black-sheep son of a major crime boss, who, besides hooking her up with the most advanced full-cyborg body money can buy, outfitted her a ship and put her into business.

Now Mari cruises the starlanes out along the Rim, where the finer pleasures - food, drugs, music, even women - are in short supply, docking at remote colonies, stardocks, mines, and stations. The Celestial Empress gives these poor workers a taste of the high life (and a place to spend their hard-earned credits), as well as offering chartered transportation for the more well-off who want to travel in style. It's an Empress-class Star Yacht owned and operated by Mari and a small crew, with the majority of its operations being handled by Persephone, a playful but mostly dutiful AI.

The majority of the ship has been converted into a large, nightclub-like space where performances are held while the ship is docked. Each "tour" she takes usually has a different act or set of acts touring with her and performing at each stop, and the bars are stocked with all kinds of drinks and drugs (mostly legal, unless you know how to ask). There is also a suite of private cabins and lounge space for patrons who wish to charter a flight to a particular location, a fully automatic medbay, a well-stocked kitchen, and a small but exquisitely furnished suite where Mari lives near the bridge. While there is little cargo space remaining, there are a number of... discreet storage areas in space left over from the conversion that, for whatever reason, don't show up on the ships schematics...

While the ship is as luxurious as they come, it does come with a price - the Empress is fast, but not particularly maneuverable; it has a good reactor and decent shields, but very little armor, and no real weapons to speak of. Mari relies on the fact that she has business relationships with some scary people, and that most raiders and pirates are likely to want to be her customers as much as they want her ship for themselves - she often gives them special treatment to ensure they stay that way.

Mari is a full-body Cyborg - her brain and spinal cord are the only parts of her that are "original," and even they've been highly augmented. While cybernetic enhancements and prosthetic are almost ubiquitous, full-body prosthesis like hers are rare to see, especially ones as high-quality as hers. She actually enjoys flaunting this fact, typically wearing as little clothing as possible and leaving lots of visible cybernetic "flair" on her body - metallic antennae on her head (which she swaps out frequently, occasionally opting for a cat-ear like set with matching tail) and synthetic "stockings" built into her legs up above her knees (with extendable stiletto heels).

That's not to say she's all cold steel and plastic. Her skin is synthetically grown human skin, inlaid with strips of luminescent fiber that she can light up at will. Many of her internal organs (and her sexual organs) are likewise real flesh; her cybernetic heart pumps synthetic blood around her body; she breaths air into and out of her cybernetic lungs. Her muscles are made of nanofiber weave and her skeleton of grown titanium and carbon fiber. Her hair is made of thin polymer strands that retain the feel of normal human hair while also conducting light, allowing her to change her hair color or cause it to "light up" at whim. Her eyes are totally artificial, and can also change color.

She doesn't, however, have a digestive tract, opting instead for a small internal power plant that must be refueled every month or so from her ship's reactor, the heat from which is radiated off through her skin, making her feel as warm as any normal living being (warmer, when she's greatly exerting herself). This does free up some... extra space for some other modifications - increased flexibility, enhanced tactile sensation, extra erogenous zones...

Despite her slender frame and soft skin, she's actually extraordinarily strong - her body is combat-rated, with superhuman reflexes and strength enough to bend solid steel. She tries to avoid actually using these capabilities, though, as the level of force necessary has a tendency to damage her expensive synthetic skin and clothing, which then need to be replaced. And Mari is all about looking good...
