Suppose you were given the option to start the game with any one item for free, regardless of level or price, with the caveat that it can't be a weapon or armor. What item would you pick and what kind of character would you build around it?

A CR 25 Combatant-Array Personal Guard Robot doesn't count as a weapon right?
In all seriousness though, there's 3 ways I could take this: The Easy Way, the Fun Way, and the Not-Exactly-Legal-but-Fun Way. These are them respectively:
- The easy way is honestly quite boring. Just get a Raise Dead Spell Gem. Doesn't really matter your build, it's just there so that in the unfortunate event of your death the party can take you to any random Mystic (even better if the party has a Mystic) and use that to Rez.
- The fun way (though it may be stretching the limitations of the item): Icon theme with a Holoskin, and basically be a Magical Girl. One of the highlights of this one is that the Holoskin is your clothes, both in and out of combat. Normally you use it to project perfectly ordinary clothing over your entire body. When you enter combat you do your song-and-dance routine and the Holoskin trades out the street clothes for your Magical Girl uniform. In either case it is used to conceal the actually functional armor you're wearing underneath. After all, if a Holoskin can make a Skittermander look like a Vesk, or a Vesk look like a Skittermander, it can dang well make light armor (or even Heavy Armor, but that cuts back on the acrobatics a bit) look like a cheerleader uniform.
- The final way is very much not *actually* a legal item, but it's actually going to be mostly used for flavor rather than function. In a way it's also actually two items, but what can ya do. Basically, you start with a Miniaturized Tier 10 computer like MrT has, but instead of the not-quite-AI filling, you stuff it with every security device you can get, and one additional attachment: A level 12 Spell Chip of Wish. You then play a Technomancer and the computer becomes your Spell Cache. The flavor of the character is that their magic comes through channeling the Awesome power of the Wish chip, and the one rule is that you can't use the Wish, excepting maybe on the final boss.

Really, really stretching it I think it'd be neat to have a metal and glass box 'starship' of Medium size on the outside but with a demiplane on the inside and has a Drift Rating of 'Yes'.
It could even be balanced by the GM controlling the navigation console, so it can only go where the GM wants me to go, time and relative planes in space.

This ^
For the Character, Android Mechanic that, with the GM's permission, has memories of the previous inhabitants of the body via the Exocortex. You could probably guess what the Custom Rig might look like.
