Abilities and Aptitude: Being a machine, Lotus has high strength and resistance, capable of withstanding sustained gunfire. He is able to hack into other machines by merely touching them, and can then manipulate their behaviour as he desires. Lotus' hard drive stores terabytes of information, making him extremely intelligent.

Hobbies and Talents: As a machine, Lotus does not pursue hobbies.

Weaknesses:


 * Lotus is incapable of forming emotional attachments to people, and so can appear cold and uncaring at times.
 * Lotus' power source only lasts for about ten days at a time before it requires recharging; further, Lotus can take up to twelve hours to fully recharge. As a result, he is frequently deactivated for long periods to save energy.
 * Being little more than a cheap knock-off, Lotus' speed, strength and armament are all inferior to the original Shadow Androids.

Personality: Lotus has a very basic personality as programmed by Forza and Melody.

Backstory: After finding the remains of a deactivated Shadow Android, Forza set about building his own Android to help him at the garage, using the Android's remains (and a set of blueprints downloaded from the Internet) as a template. Due to a lack of parts and equipment, and Forza's average engineering skills, the final version - Lotus - was somewhat basic, but still a powerful machine.

Forza did not build Lotus on his own; Mystery helped with the construction and sourcing of materials, while Melody did most of the advanced programming. As a result, Lotus feels a connection to Mystery and Melody. Lotus has no memory or knowledge of Dr. Eggman, having not been created by him.
