Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Allagans create artificial robot-like beings called "mannequins"? I think I heard about it on the official forums with two important characters from the crystal tower storyline being these types of beings. If that's the case, I don't see why the OP's character couldn't work from a lore standpoint. There would still be the issue of some people thinking the idea is Mary Sue-ish, but you can't please everyone.
