Another potential character hitting me late brings up this question:
If a character is literally just a digitized copy of their consciousness at their current point in canon, like. It's a plot point that they're separated from their body, stuck in the matrix, and having to try to get back out to reality.
Upon being sent on vacation are they stuck in an appropriate body basically approximating the one they had before they got stuck in the matrix, or?
And a corollary: if a character actually only exists in the matrix, and has never existed for real physically, are they also just given some appropriate human? robot? body based on how they represent themselves in digital space?
