Chaplin, Chapl1n or Chap could be a robotic hero with design nods/inspiration taken from Charlie Chaplin. At the very least a hero wearing a bowler hat would be welcome. I think a charming gimmick for his personality would be him having no voice lines to mimmick silent black and white films from the 1920s, relying on nothing but animations to convey what would be his voice lines. As for his kit: visual information conveyed by colors are especially important to players, but rather than totally obscure vision like so many other hero shooters do, I think a simple black and white filter being applied (and maybe hud disabled) would be enough to disrupt a player while still giving them a fighting chance. This filter could be applied upon hitting an opponent with a long distance projectile via a walking cane turned rifle. From far away Chapl1n could close the distance using a rocket (another nod to silent film era history 'A Trip to the Moon') exploding into the disorientated player who is isolated and only capable of seeing black and white. This hero could fill the role of a gap closer and make more use of jungle areas and ambushing. Where as most heroes seem to be defined by being "in" or "out" of combat there would be variety in this "hit and run" play style.
