Perhaps the devs never considered that players would want to be anything other than human, so they didn't take the time to create a game entrance/tutorial that plays to their side. I think if its done right, there's not problem with it.
Is it canon? Tough to say. Are any of our individual Human characters actually in the canon? Will we see the guy who killed the Assassin in The Matrix IV: Resurrection? Probably not... So, I say, while we have the world of the Matrix in our hands... WE write the canon.

How do you pull off creating a level 1 character? I'm thinking of running a Blue for a little while, and I'm undecided as to whether I should keep him level 1 or level him up to 10, so the gang spawn in Richland won't be too hard on him.I think you have to suicide out of the tutorial. Clicking "Skip Tutorial" automatically completes the mission contained therein and levels you to 2.
