Homebrew Android Species Details

On the surface Androids perfectly imitate other lifeforms but inside they are metal and coolant where we are bone and blood. Even today we still bicker, debating whether or not the free will and the feelings Androids demonstrate are genuine things or just another imitation as convincing as their humanoid appearances. Regardless, the line between organic and inorganic has been blurred to the point of transparency and now the Android exists on either side. So ask yourself, Android, do you have free will?
