So, I remember someone asking Android questions like years ago, but I have more of them.
Do Androids have souls? Can an Android sell its soul to Asmodeus, if it does?
Androids are immune to fear and morale and emotion effects, can they play as the Bard class? Can they feel emotions on their own? Are they more like Replicants from Blade Runner, or like Data from Star Trek?
If they can't feel emotions, can they be Barbarians and Rage?
If I played Rasputin Must Die, and played an Android as a shell shocked WW1 Vet, would that be possible, or can they not feel emotions?
If I played an Android Samurai, would he feel shame if he betrayed his Daimyo or whatever, or would he not care?
Can an Android be infected with Vampirism, or Lycanthropy? If I play an Android Druid, can they do the whole Wildshape thing?
Androids get a plus to Intelligence, and that's mostly a Magic-Stat. Do Androids have magical auras, or whatever? Can they cast magic? Can they be a Wizard or a Sorcerer, or what have you?
Can Androids be Monks? Can they use Ki?
What happens if an Android takes a bath, drinks water or a potion, or gives a blood transfusion to someone?
Are they all white-skinned like that one picture of that chick with the rapier?
A tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't, not without your help, but you're not helping. Why is that?
How do you feel, Spock?
Well, that's all the questions I have for today.

There is going to be an article about androids in the first volume of the Iron Gods Adventure Path (Pathfinder #85), and that should answer most of your questions.
(I'm not answering the tortoise question... I see what you're trying to do to me.) ;)
Until then, there has been a lot of discussion about androids (along with some answers from James and myself) in this thread.
(I'm not answering the tortoise question... I see what you're trying to do to me.) ;)
Uh huh. That's just like an answer THEY would give, too...
Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
Your questions are irrelevant.
I kinda want to make Astro Boy as an unarmed Barbarian or something like that. Maybe put some Brawler levels in there.
1) Only if they believe they do.
2) They can be bards, but they are not very popular with creatures that can hear.
3) They can be barbarians, but their rage is not very intimidating.
4) Androids are from Numeria. They weren't in WWI.
5) Samudroids do not betray. Betrayal is illogical.
6) They are not immune to disease or polymorph, so yes to both.
7) A) only if they gain one form a class or sufficient HD. B)Only if gained by class. C) Sorcerer only if their creator added some different blood to the mix.
8) A) Only if they follow the alignment restrictions. B) only if gained by class.
9) A) It gets clean. B) It gets less thirsty. C) No need for blood transfusions when you have a healer.
10) Please refrain form using the gender identifier "chick".
11) A turtle killed my father.
12) I feel fine.
Alright. Never again will I refer to a broadbabedame as a chick.
Also, if an android was built well enough, how would you know if one served in WW1 or not? Plus, you know, time travel, or interdimensional whatevers, or whatever.

1. We must give them the chance to explore that themselves. (Data4lyfe!)
2. Gonna say Data, with a small splash of other sentient AI
3. All creatures do when they see the blue screen of death!
4. Just call it information overload
5. See Aasimov's 3 Laws
6. Yes
7. Golarion's Androids are basically magi-tech, so yes
8. Yes
9. No blood transfusion, but I assume the water would be pumped around for a while inside it before dissipating. And a bath? It get's clean.
10. That's called a DM call. I'd rule no
11. Because it needs to learn to rock it's body to roll over, that's why.
12. How I feel? *Raises eyebrow* I keep my emotions in check with reason. How I feel is irrelevant.
