To poke for just a bit, while I've discussed with Minty in private, I wanted to publicly bring up the character I'll be making for documentation sake. 

I'll be making a Biological Android, whose original purpose was to blend in with his world of origin, and act as a data collection unit for the scientist that made him. After a while, he would be jury rigged into a combatant creation for the purpose of staving off a threat to their home. This would also be the basis of his progression being a combination of mastering his biology, and technical sides and using them in tandem as the former is honed and the later is upgraded throughout the story.
