Chopin's melancholy nocturnes ring throughout the cabins of the Severn, granting one last serenade as the structure of the mighty ship finally gives way. Overcome by the forces of atmospheric re-entry, what little remains glisten into stardust and rain from the firmament to the alien world below. I can do nothing but watch afar in the comfort of my emergency shuttle as petabytes of research and countless memories evaporate in the blink of an eye.
Realigning the azimuth, I try to ensure that I do not meet a similar fate. I know that I am lucky to escape with my life, but the sheer magnitude of the situation rests in my mind like a theological curse; if my beacon is a single astronomical unit out of range, or damaged even slightly during re-entry, I could find myself stuck on a primitive planet for the rest of my life.
Unfortunately I did not get an opportunity to complete my scans before the hull-breach rendered the Severn inhospitable. All I know is that the air is breathable, the life is carbon-based, and some may even be intelligent humanoids. It would have been the find of a lifetime if I had managed to escape back to Earth.
It soon becomes apparent that I have little time to dwell on the past, as bright flames emerge, licking at the shuttle's panelling like some infernal spirit. Turbulence takes its toll on my vessel as the barometer indicates a rising external air pressure. Alarms flare, all desperate for attention, my speed is too fast and my angle is too steep, desperately I grasp at the controls, pulling them back in a feign attempt to level off. My earlier adjustments may not have been enough.
Just as suddenly as they appeared, the flames dispersed, but I'm not out of danger yet. When my computer is not emphasising the rapidly approaching surface, it informs me that the primary parachute has been damaged due to overheating; just my luck.
Enabling the drogue chutes I watch as my velocity begins to plummet. From a visual inspection the area I will be crash-landing in looks to be a forest. I find myself surprised by how similar the terrain is to that of Earth, there even appears to be settlements in the distance. Prying myself away from the observation panels, I return to the task at hand. Using the last remaining scraps of propellant, I bring my velocity down to 10 metres per second as my shuttle enters the canopy.
"Argh!" I cry out in pain as the chutes entangle themselves in trees. Despite the generous dampening provided by the airbags, I still feel a trickle of blood run down my forehead as I finally come to a halt. I may still be conscious, but not by much. The sensation could almost be described as a painful form of drunkenness.
After bandaging my wound with the supply kit provided, I let the compartment depressurise, swinging open the door to reveal a sunny blue sky shrouded by leaves and torn fabric. The temperature is pleasant, and the air is crisp. Swinging my legs over the side and sitting atop my shuttle, I gaze out into the endless wilderness around me. This planet has intelligent life, that much I know for sure. It's only a matter of time before they come to investigate the wreckage...

Thanks for reading my prompt! I seem to have something of an affinity for sci-fi-fantasy crossovers, no matter how they play out, they always prove to be interesting roleplays. I'm looking for a partner prepared to play one or multiple inhabitants of this new world I find myself on. The possibilities are endless!
Perhaps you're a hunter who stumbles across my wreckage by accident, only to invite me back to your hut after you notice how injured I am. Perhaps you're working for a powerful empress who wants me and my technology for herself. Maybe I'm found by an adventuring party, who invite me to join them until they arrive at the next town, but things don't quite go to plan...
I'm open to just about any ideas you might have, and I'm happy for this to be any time of fantasy world. I was picturing a DnD style setting, but do let me know if you have any unique thoughts you might like to implement.
As for kinks and limits, my list can be found here: https://i.imgur.com/xdWCMUY.png it's extremely open, so chances are if you're into something I am too. Be sure to tell me any creative or unusual kinks you might like to include, that always gets my attention.
I have a reference for my character, Ash, that I would also be happy to share. Just remember to specify whether you want the SFW or NSFW version.
Looking forward to your orange envelopes!
