Magic is a good explanation for this kind of thing. Maybe he lost his legs and attached new ones this way? Maybe it was a price to pay for some arcane knowledge... or maybe that's just a side-effect of the type of magecraft he dabbles in?
[ Spoken like a true sage who knows about magic systems. Only for him they're not fictional ]
[Meanwhile, Chikusa can only claim himself knowledgeable in one particular magic system, and not even that... So he'll listen attentively, considering things.]
...A cursed price... Maybe.. necromancy or that sort of thing...
[Which... sounds horrible, but also- ]
Stories are meant to have characters in troublesome situations, sometimes that they make themselves... right?
Heroes overcoming their troubles and adversities makes for interesting stories, yeah. [ What is a hero that fails instead of succeeding? A cautionary tale. ]
Hmmm, yeah. I guess it's either- everyone sits and together creates their stories so each fit one another. [ Someone being someone's brother, friend, a comrade in arms. People who would make sense to work together
or- ]
Or scratch that, and just go with whatever you want. The story can be about a bunch of strangers who were put together by fate. If someone makes trouble, it only makes the whole thing more interesting.

I sense you're onto something.

[Chikusa shrugs, sort of, putting in as little energy as he can while still making the motion recognizable.]
I guess it would depend on the other people too, right...
[If there's one thing he's read a lot in these sort of stories, it's that the story isn't focused solely on one person. Not all the time, anyway.]

[...Which shouldn't be too hard. Chikusa is well aware of what a pain in the ass he can be to many other people, including his own god and boyfriend.]
Well... I guess there's no point in stressing too much over it until we actually start up a game, right...?
