[@AdmrlStalfos19] could always go the “accidentally used some still-functioning old-world technology” route.

Perhaps some pre-apocalypse scientists in the area were working on that “download your consciousness” process, and the character activated a machine out of curiosity.

Then it would be a relatively simple matter to plug their “brain” into some sort of prototype armor or robotic exoskeleton (probably set up in the same facility).

That's similar to what [i]I[/i] was thinking in a way. Minus the accident part; I was actually thinking that my char would've chosen to make the transfer on purpose, possibly to evade a bounty that may or may not have been on his head.

Anyway, more on what I was thinking on the character himself.

...

I can confirm that, post transformation, he would've kept the senses of sight, hearing and touch. I could [i]possibly[/i] throw smell into the mix if need be, but I honestly don't see how he'd retain taste. After all, he wouldn't be able to eat even if he felt the necessity. I've considered dulling some of the senses as well, but ultimately decided against it since I don't know much of an effect it would have vs. the respective Discarded. If someone would have to yell at my char anyway for their voice to be heard by him, then he certainly wouldn't hold the Guinness World Record for outlasting Au'Diurale's torment the longest before/without converting, just as an example.

His power works by touching an object that he'd like to transmute and thinking of what he'd like the material it consist of to transmute into. The only real limitation I can think of right now is that the transmutation would have to make sense from an alchemic standpoint in order to be a successful one. I.E. Turning lead into gold would be well within the realm of possibility, and I can see wood being able to transmute into paper as well, since paper is made through the use of trees. But he wouldn't be able to change... say, a brick into a loaf of bread, just to list an example of something I highly doubt would be possible off the top of my head. 

...

Still ironing out details in my head. I'll probably start making the actual CS once I can find a good face-claim for what I have in mind.
