But then I'd finally be as beautiful on the outside as I feel on the inside!

If I could be a mythological or just a really cool being, I would. Dragon please!

It’s a lot of bother having to transfer to a new body everytime. Just move into an undead skeletal body and stay there for eternity, no having to bother which watching your body fall apart every 100 years or so, just take one that’s already decayed.

Be me

Become skeleton for immortality

Replace bones with fossils

Commit acts of heroism and call myself the "Living Fossil"

I assume "replace bones with fossils" is short for

let myself get buried by mud

bones get permineralized over millions of years

get dug up by archeologists

Psh, amateur; my soul isn't INSIDE THIS!

THIS THING is just one of my terminals!

My actual location is in a phylactery safely suspended in a void equidistantly between the event horizons of a matrix comprising several intersecting null-time stasis fields locked in a cold-iron box encased in six meters of lead on all sides in the center of a sonar-refracting non-euclidean polyhedron of cement nestled snugly in the bedrock of an undisclosed location somewhere in this plane that MAY not actually still be within the celestial body upon whose surface we presently stand.

This proxy is mostly running on autopilot while most of my attention is focused on my favorite terminal-body reading a charming little novella while enjoying a warm beverage at a quaint cafe within a secondary urban center that isn't even on the same continent right now. I'm not just living my best life; I'm living my best SEVERAL lives, thank you very much, ADVENTURER :p
