Android
Basic Information
Anatomy
Every aspect of the android body is engineered to mirror
human biology, even at the expense of practicality or
optimization. Specialized nanites construct new androids
inside incubators that resemble sarcophagi. A bone-like
polymer makes up the skeleton, on which are layered
synthetic muscles and connective tissue. The android's
artificial organs mimic those ofhumans, including heart,
lungs, digestive tract, and nervous system.
In the final stages of construction, the nanites lay down partially organic skin and hair analogs that so closely resemble that of organic humans as to be indistinguishable from them.
The only physical trait that indicates androids' nature is a slight metallic sheen to their eyes if viewed in the right light. Otherwise, androids outwardly resemble humans in all ways, including a great diversity in skin, hair, and eye coloration.
Each android bears a set of unique markings that resemble tattoos but are in fact a kind of biological circuitry. When androids use their nanite surge ability, these markings glow, usually a cool color like blue, green, or violet, but the hue is different between individuals. Androids generally have two to four such markings, usually on the arms, upper body, face, or neck.

Dietary Needs and Habits
An android eats, drinks, breathes, and excretes much
like a human, though certain improvements have been
made. Androids do not require sleep, and resist biological
diseases.
Their thin, watery blood carries life-sustaining oxygen in the fluid itself rather than in cells. Instead of clotting, android bleeding is halted by repairs carried out by nanites. These nanites carry out other biological functions as well, including cleansing the body of accumulated toxins.
Androids have limited control of their nanites, and can call on them to exceed their normal bodily and mental limits for an instant's effort. Some androids attain a higher level of control, and can marshal their nanites to heal grievous wounds in moments.
