Rereading the OP, I realize that my idea might not be able to work in its scifi/cyberpunk apperance, that said I feel like a magician-like character could probably pull off the core idea pretty well.

Personally I'm all for permadeath (or some penalty for dying), gives the RP a feel of weight; running head first guns blazing again and again can only be so interesting. Plus actual character deaths do provide good plot elements.

Well, yeah. But, seeing what SAO made out of that idea compared to how it is done in Log Horizon, for example, I find the prospect of permadeath a bit... bleh. Bland, I guess.
Penalty for dying, sure, maybe.

Also... I find it hard to believe that in such a world, if, like in SAO, player killers are seemingly pretty common, people would still trust each other to not slaughter you in your sleep or something xD
