So.... in a sci-fi rp, or when writing a sci-fi story, which would you prefer to play? an alien, or an android? can be anything from a starfish alien to a giant mecha robot.

If it had to be between the two I'd pick a robot WHO CAN BREAKDANCE WITH MAD SKILLS! XD

Funnily enough that's actually one of my newer character ideas. I just haven't taken the time to develop it past that.

I would have to say androids for me as well. Although it's a very close race. Aliens are fun because you can create a culture for them from the ground up and completely mess with every aspect of them.

Androids are fun because... well they are androids, they can look like anything you want, they are made of metal, artificial, and win. Not to mention they can interface directly with computers~<3

I'd prefer Aliens, but I've not so much of a technical mind. But I find Technology limiting. Okay, I have some great sort of weapon or device that lets me do things... great. Aliens almost seem more, real, as strange as it sounds. Also, like . said, you can build them to your specifications, and it can be really interesting to create an entire organism (or, if sufficiently advanced, society/world view).

Also, I am totally going to call you "." and it is going to very confusing.

I have to go with aliens. I like the idea of humans with robotic prosthetics a lot but a full Android isn't all that appealing to my sensibilities for reasons I can't quite determine, much less articulate.

Can the androids have a built in toaster function? Because if so, then I'd totally go with androids.

I'd go with androids, for basically all the reasons Tal said. Also, I think it's cool to humanize non-human objects / de-humanize people. Either way, you're getting this in-between thing that's fun to think about.
