Yes. Hi. This is Surge again. The person who plays the tall indian girl who is actually an alien vampire. I am bringing you Robot from Gunnerkrigg Court. Excellent comic. Excellent read. Much feelings. Go check it out.

In canon, Robot is kind of a creepy/sweet Court robot who has been modified by extended time in actually friendly proximity of two people who treat him like he is not really all that different from a human being, and a shadow creature he is pretty much totally dating. On his off hours, he talks about how one of those two people it totally an angel, forces the rest of his kind to confront how little they know about themselves and their history, and preaches about both of those things, much to the concern of the aforementioned shadow creature. He also stalks everyone he cares about because Court robots are kind of dumb when it comes to personal space and boundaries.

A N Y way, Robot has been reincarnated as Robert Holloway, a homeless parkour enthusiast who basically ditched living in his aunt's house and ran as far away as he could possibly get to Locke City. He lives on the streets, sleeps on other people's couches, and earns cash via jobs that reward those who don't ask a lot of questions or by simply taking it from people who aren't paying enough attention. Sometimes he drops by soup kitchens or into the community college to eat food given to students during those voluntary attendance lectures your professor makes you go to for extra credit. If your character would be familiar with thieves, parkour dorks, homeless people, or people who go to the community college to eat free food, then chances are they know of or have seen Robert hanging around and trying hard not to be noticed.
