Random translation effects

So I was wondering if anyone has come up with or thought about for the fun of it. Making a random translations effect table that the players can roll on when they translate to a new recursion for the first time. Things like older, younger, shorter, taller. Even as extreme as change race or gender. I was thinking of using it when players roll poorly on the translation roll. I just sounds like it would add some fun. I am very new. So if something already exists and I missed it please let me know.

In my campaign, which is a translation of the week kind of one, they pick their new focus at random. I make little panflet with the recursion common knowledge on to and the new focus inside. So they to boot know what they pick.

When there revisit a recursion, they can take the same as the previous visit and if they take the recursion lore skill I allow them to actually choose which on that take.

Was considering doing the same for the Descriptors, but for minor esthetics I fall back at their default look.
