So, I'm considering cloning myself.

It's pretty simple, really. I'd use a mind scanner to map your neural connections while you're asleep, effectively 'saving' your 'progress'. It's mapped to a network like those in Kurochi and Shinoko. Should you die, that copy would be copied to the brain of a clone held in stasis, as well as attaching your soul to your new body via the tether, and you'd be revived.

If you wanted a step farther, we could probably install a device in your skull to give an 'impression' of what's happened since your last 'save'. It'd probably be hazy though, like a dream, but it shouldn't overwrite anything, and would be a lot safer.

Of course, it'd take months to grow a proper and stable clone, but even then you'd be more or less safe... you'd just stay in the copy until the new body was ready.

Sweet, but brrr. Something makes me shiver about that, despite the logic and sweet intentions, my darling dearest.

Hmm... is it the fact that a copy of you is being stored somewhere?

My initial idea didn't really require a copy like that... but then you'd need to remote pilot your body, which seemed a lot more troubling.

Possibly. And the whole process mechanicalized.

... That just gives me horror feelings. Major brrr.

Well, it's not so much mechanical as magitech.

Hence why I didn't look into it too much.
