Android 17 & Android 18

Android 17 and Android 18 are twin siblings, formerly known as Lapis and Lazuli, who were once notorious human delinquents before falling into the hands of Dr. Gero. Recognizing their potential as raw material, Gero abducted them and forcibly modified their bodies through extensive cybernetic enhancement, stripping away parts of their humanity to create powerful cyborgs as instruments of his revenge against Son Goku.

Although biologically human at their core, the siblings possess immense physical enhancements and energy cores that grant them endless stamina and strength far beyond normal limits. Unlike earlier models, they retained their free will—an oversight Gero would come to regret. Both twins developed an intense resentment toward their creator, culminating in their rebellion and his immediate execution upon their reactivation.

Together, 17 and 18 are a near-perfect balance of efficiency and defiance. Their personalities diverge—17 is more rebellious, energetic, and confrontational, while 18 displays a calm, sarcastic, and calculating demeanor. Despite their chaotic origins and destructive potential, the twins maintain a strong sibling bond, often coordinating flawlessly in battle.

Appearance: Android 17 is a handsome fair-skinned young man with a similar appearance to his fraternal twin sister. He is average in height, though slightly taller than his sister, with a slim frame, tan complexion and lean-built. He has straight shoulder-length black hair that parts above his forehead, thin eyebrows, and narrow light blue eyes. 17 has a gold hoop earring on each ear. He wears an orange bandanna around his neck. He wears a short sleeve black shirt with the Red Ribbon Army's logo on the left of his chest, and underneath dons a long-sleeve white shirt. He wears a belt to hold up his medium blue jeans which have a tear just above the knee of the left leg. Just below the first belt he wears another belt with a gun holster and another pouch. Android 17 wears green socks and blue and white sneakers.

Android 18 is a slender and beautiful woman of above-average height and fair complexion. She has shoulder-length blonde hair that parts over her left temple, which she generally keeps tucked behind her ear. She wears small gold hoop earrings on both ears. Her hair is natural. She has a fairly ample chest. She wears a blue denim vest and skirt (with the Red Ribbon logo on the back of the vest) with dark blue tights, a brown belt, brown boots, and a black shirt that has white and black striped long sleeves.

Personality: Android 17: Originally a rebellious anarchist, Android 17 possesses a deeply ingrained aversion to authority and control. His behavior during the early days of his activation is driven by a concept he refers to as “The Game”—a self-imposed, directionless pursuit of Goku framed more as personal entertainment than mission. Though empowered by his cybernetic enhancements, 17 quietly resents the artificiality forced upon him, particularly due to his deep appreciation for nature and the loss of his natural humanity. This conflict manifests in a strong individualistic streak; he refuses to follow orders blindly, even from his creator, and often deviates from plans on whims that amuse him.

Despite his unpredictability, 17 retains a core of innocence beneath his exterior, displaying curiosity and an almost childlike glee in exploration and challenge. As noted by his sister, he shares this light-hearted unpredictability with Goku. His sense of self is unshakable—he knows what he values and refuses to compromise that identity, even in the face of destruction. His love of freedom and disdain for being used drive much of his behavior.

Android 18: In contrast to her brother's impulsive and playful rebellion, Android 18 presents a cool, composed, and sardonic demeanor. She’s highly self-assured, often exuding a calm confidence in combat and conversation alike. Her dry wit and biting sarcasm form a sharp shield that masks her deeper feelings of betrayal and loss due to Dr. Gero's tampering. Though she retains a calculating edge, she is not overtly cruel, preferring to maintain control without needless bloodshed unless provoked.

18 harbors deep resentment toward Gero for transforming her and her brother into weapons, yet she curiously continues using the designation “Number 18,” possibly as a symbolic reclamation of the identity forced upon her. Beneath her hardened surface, she is drawn to normalcy—evident in her affection for fashion, shopping, and maintaining her appearance. This vanity does not make her shallow, but instead reinforces her desire to define herself on her own terms, independent of Gero’s designs.
