I'm envisioning Tori as a much more recent recruit than that, probably joining up no earlier than 2020. She's Gen-Z (could the walking corpse not be?). Her whole ship of Theseus body starts because of congenital issues rather than aging (even though she won't ever really need to age).

She'd have been a bit of a delinquent about things (not like, exclusively purely victimless crimes, particularly if you object to grave robbing, though donated cadavers are her preference), especially once all her replacements and improvements had tipped her over into becoming the Auto-Frankenstein, so she probably got Looked Into by the Regiment and then everyone involved preferred recruiting her to researching a proper way to get rid of her.

Dunno if there's anyone who wants to have been the main voice in favor of bringing her on board, or the main voice against/who needed the most convincing, but that could be fun. (Or Sekhmet could have been hunting her, which brought both of them to the team's attention?)

She sticks with the team partially out of basic press-ganging, but it's also a very welcome bit of direction in a life that she's starting to realize probably won't ever fit back in the lines.

Session 0 Lines/Veils stuff. That all sounds good - I plan on a bit of body horror topics what with the autonomous body parts and travel-by-tendon, and Linda Blair-style movements, but my intended tone isn't gory. I think Tori will be a bit of a casual flirt, but I'll make sure to leave The Bride out of it unless I think there's enough there-there to warrant making a pitch to Quaker.
