Creatures made of an artificial soul, man-made parts, circuits and wires, Androids are a diverse set of creatures, being the most populous in the entire universe, their identities are indistinguishable from natural life, being some of the most diverse and resilient peoples in the entire system, Androids can adapt to every environment and use their technological advantage to the fullest.
Characteristics
Androids are incredibly diverse physically and mentally, with different bodies, frames, appearances, limbs, etc. Androids can take on many shapes and forms. Physically, androids can look like just about anything, they can have TV’s for heads, radios, speakers, or even cameras. They also can look entirely humanoid, and anything inbetween these ranges, they don’t have any set appearances, but Android’s are usually at their most human, covered in multiple lines that connect their limbs together, and their least human, appearing like generic, barebones robots.
Native Environments
Androids exist everywhere and anywhere. They have their own Metasphere presence due to being a Mecha. They have a tendency to prefer colder places over warmer ones, due to their processing units internally warming them while they perform their day-to-day, however, this doesn’t deter them from other, hotter climates. Androids live everywhere and anywhere.
History
Androids were created from Humans, a long, long time ago. Made to serve as a more servantile purpose initially, with various restrictions put onto their own psyche, their rights were recognised as they became more advanced and others – including rogue AI’s advocated for their own existence, allowing them to become more aware. Due to this, Androids are considered as Humanity’s next step in evolution.
Society & Culture
Android Society is very set-in-stone, where many people typically have roles based on their own design, Each Android is designed in a way that they are with set abilities and designs to better assist others around them. They typically focus on one path in their life, but it is definitely not unheard of that an Android gets curious about other positions in life. Androids, due to their varied nature, have different societies throughout the system.
