Android

Android refers to a group of commercial machines designed to look and act like humans, originally with the purpose to serve as assistants to humans, or to to tasks that a human may not be able to.

History
Technology on articial intelligence and life like robotics began in the early 2000s and was performed by many independant scientific communities around the world, however all companies researching were eventually bought out by Sinclair Robotics in 2052 and it was publicly announced that research on androids had begun in 2055. The first batch of androids were released to the public in 2061 at $4999 in the domestic country of the United States.

Production continued with new models and internal updates occuring frequently and regularly. Occaisnoally, androids would become self-aware and deviant to their human owners. These androids, called 'rogue androids', would be tagged and tracked down by a group of androids working under Sinclair. The Watchdogs, as this group is known is comprised of androids who were at one point rogue, but have undergone a repairing process. This process is also the usual response to any rogue androids that are captured by The Watchdogs. The Watchdogs will also often recruit these rogue androids, if not return them to their old owner.

Appearance
Androids are designed to look just like humans, however there are some minor differences. Most notable, are glowing irises and various geometric seems on their synthetic skin. There is also a port on the nape of their necks, used for recharging and intalling software updates. On each android's scalp is a barcode and their serial number, however this is often covered by hair on most units.
