Yeah see, JUST having that element would already make it more interesting! It's a female soldier who's lost her legs in battle and decides to use an avatar and etc. Why hasn't someone done that yet?

I'm guessing(and quoting TV Tropes, lol how original)it's because Most Writers Are Male, and having your(human, male)hero hooking up with a hot alien space babe is some kind of hot nerd fantasy? Lol, I dunno, I mean this trope has existed since Star Trek I think /O/

*Sigh*I'd love to see more female main protagonists in Sci-Fi/Fantasy stories, period. Just as long as they aren't "men in skirts", so to speak.
