Yo. *points up at Top Man there* If he apps, no matter the character, I'm coming too. :D Forte here is my most likely candidate, and he has gobs of canon so I'm not worried about that, but I did have a few other questions on him as a potential character!

-From reading through the FAQ and questions of others, I see you've been letting characters arrive with important pets/animal companions. Am I correct in thinking this would include Forte's robot dog? (They're a team unit, and Gospel is required for Forte to use some of his abilities. He doesn't talk and acts much like a real dog/wolf would.)

-The series is a little vague on some of its specifics concerning its robots. In short, the fandom winds up making up a lot of stuff, some of which has actually become canon, so the line between canon and fanon can be pretty blurry. I kinda want to know how much leeway I might have on things like how Forte can process energy, for example. Would I be restricted to just the specialized energy seen in the games, or can I say that he can charge from electrical outlets or even consume food and process it into energy? Fandom has used these, but it hasn't been canonically confirmed, to my fairly expansive knowledge. (Also, having to rely on specialized energy would kind of screw him over in the setting, so yeah.)

The other biggest issue in this vein, I think, is what he would look like minus helmet. Robots (or Megaman and Protoman/Blues, at least, plus some other robots with hair like Terra) have been shown to have hair under their helmets, but Forte hasn't canonically removed his. You should see the debates on what color it would be alone... I'm likely to go with the closest thing I've got to canon: the hairstyle that two very influential doujinshi artists for the series both chose.

-Robot plus PCD. Would he be able to interact with it in any manner significantly different from your average character? Mostly like, plugging himself into it somehow and using it hands-free, or writing himself a program to allow him to do so. On a related note, would it be possible for him to access the network via his built-in communications systems at all? (Sorry if this bit would be better suited to the PCD FAQ; I figured all my silly questions in one place would probably be easier!)

...I'm just interested in exploring weird things when playing a nonhuman character, don't mind me... and sorry this is so long ahhhhhh ._.
