About a week after I sent in my app, I realized it would be a horrible place to send Miles Vorkosigan, and simultaneously, it would mean I could actually play him with actual icons.
I don't know if you know the canon, but Miles is another SFnal character. He's hard to cast because an assassination attempt on his parents while his mother was pregnant with him left him crippled from birth. So, like Ed, waking up in a body grown from his genes would be immediately a give-away. (Sort of the reverse of Cap.)
Also, in his canon, the rich and unethical grow clones for spare parts and Miles himself has a clone-brother (Mark) who was created for an assassination plot against Miles's father and foster-brother.
That and for all that he's a borderline manic-depressive genius, he's fun to play even if channeling that much energy is *hard*. The problem is, playing him and Lafiel in the same setting could be hard, since both are space captains. (Well, Miles had a career change.)
So, really, I'd probably go with a fantasy character, probably either one physically non-human or non-humanoid or someone who would feel interesting things without her powers.

Same question.
