Androids and gynoids are the robotic servants of mankind, shaped in their image.

Appearance: Humanoid in form, androids might be functional and obviously robotic in appearance with gleaming metal and camera-lens eyes. Those designed to be more human-looking have synthetic skin and hair, and might even simulate breathing and body warmth. A serial number and machine strength are always tell-tale signs of their robotic core. Designed to work alongside humans, they might be specialized for manual labour, as laboratory technicians, or just for companionship.
