Re: the Banzai Bus: a few things.
- Thing one: Excellent. Nice character idea. Roll with it. No issues with the character concept, but the backstory needs a bit of help.
- Thing two: Handwavium isn't so big on the Massive Restructuring Just Because. It can make broken things work (and even fix obvious points of breakage) and make working things work better (heck, it can make broken things work better) but it doesn't create brushed steel cabinets just because - let alone rolled-up futons. Of course, you'ld know that in character, and it's pretty easy to justify any appliance you might want with a trip to the local dump. The mural is also pretty much excessive as a wave-effect. Honestly, if you want a mural, pick one of your characters to have either some skill at painting or a friend who'll do it for a favor. Given that the favor is likely to be a "while you're up there" type, it can even serve as a decent story hook.
- Thing three: don't forget your quirks. On the biomod, the "you get the gender you want, but you're a ratgirl" works just fine - though I'm curious as to what you would mean by "ratgirl" that wouldn't be immediately obvious at least to the character in question. For the rest, well, it's short enough that the fact that you haven't mentioned any yet isn't glaring, but you really do need to come up with a few and include them. Remember, everything you mod should have a quirk of some sort. If the thing is important enough to mention more than about once ever, then the quirk should be important enough to mention as well.
- Thing four: that's an awfully small amount of handwavium for an awfully large bus, especially for the bus plus contents plus a biomod from the fumes alone. On the other hand, given a nice large area in the middle of nowhere, growing more of the stuff just isn't that hard. Come up with a food source to give it some more character, purchase a sufficiently large container, and grow yourself a larger batch.
Basically, the characters look good, but you need some more backstory tweaking to include them in the world without having to bend it to make space for them.
