Since there's already a winner can I do another guess or do I have to wait until tomorrow?

so 'is this character human' is not very useful, so:
1. Is the person fictional? YES
2. Is the person male? THIS CHARACTER HAS A COUPLE OF MALE ATTRIBUTES, BUT IS ESSENTIALLY ASEXUAL
3. Is the character mechanical (as opposed to biological, so positronic robots count)?
"I'm the family radical. The rest are terribly stuffy. Aside from Aunt - she's just odd."

Cho: I was just contiuing for the benefit of thhose who wanted to figure it out themselves. Guess away.
1. Is the person fictional? YES
2. Is the person male? THIS CHARACTER HAS A COUPLE OF MALE ATTRIBUTES, BUT IS ESSENTIALLY ASEXUAL
3. Is the character mechanical (as opposed to biological, so positronic robots count)? YES (good question!)
4. Is this character in a movie? YES
5. Is the being in an American film? YES
6. Is the being subject to some form of internal (moral) laws (e.g. the 3 Laws of robotics, the four laws, the new laws, etc.; some other sort of limiting factor)?
The above question is trying to work out if the being is subject to an inherent set of laws, that it cannot (normally) break, in the way that positonic robots "cannot harm humans, or through inaction allow robots to come to harm". On the other hand, the Golems of Neil Asher (or the Teminators) are NOT sunbect to this sort of regulation. Make sense?

Ghost has guessed the character correctly, and wins another Sherlock. You're up, poltergeist.
The group can ask 20 questions to try to figure out the identity of the mystery person.
I will only answer yes or no (maybe a little more info ).
A guess will be sent ONLY via PM - and does not count towards the question count.
Only one guess per person per day allowed.
The first person to correctly guess the person is the winner, and gets one (1) Sherlock point.
OK - Ask away.
