Aaaand a month later finally got the ref done. .w.
Well, the actual ref bit at least, as the backstory and character details are still being worked on. But I just wanted to finally get this one out so I'll be adding that in later.
Though as you can see, the design has already seen an update, to make him appear a bit more robotic. And now leaning more towards a heavier evened-out build than the slightly more top-heavy shape I was going for before.

Besides, this is more to test things out for the other characters. So far so good, though some may get more detailed references than others. But for now, something like this I'm thinking will be the style for the refs.

And now on to doing the rest of them. .w.;
