No.17

Android 17 (人じん造ぞう人にん間げん１７号ごう Jinzōningen Jū Nana-Gō, lit. "Artificial Human No. 17"), Lapis (ラピス Rapisu) when he was an ordinary human,[2] is the younger twin brother of Android 18 and Dr. Gero's seventeenth android creation, designed to serve Gero's vendetta against Goku. Despite his interests not initially deviating from this expectation, Android 17 takes it upon himself to kill Dr. Gero, who is uncooperative with Android 18's curiosity in activating Android 16 and deemed inferior by 17. 🐉 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. Common among Dr. Gero's androids, 17 has a gold hoop earring on each ear. Originally, he wore 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, although he discards it by the time the Androids arrive at Goku's House. Android 17 wears green socks and blue and white sneakers. When appearing in Dragon Ball Super, Android 17 wears a white shirt with a green collar and green sleeves that has "MIR" imprinted across his chest in black letters, and a pair of blue jeans. He has black shoes and wears a tan colored belt, along with a pair of black leather gloves. On his left sleeve is an orange armband that has "RANGER" written on it. 🐉 Initially a reckless anarchist, Android 17 later turns out to be little more than a causeless and very capricious rebel. Most of his choices during his initial appearance were motivated by what he simply called "The Game", referring to their quest to find and face Goku. 🐉 While reveling in his enhanced might setting him apart from others, Android 17 hated his cybernetics that were forced on him, as Android 18 revealed when refusing Semi-Perfect Cell's attempts at convincing Android 18 into merging with him. This is likely because of the trauma he experienced due to being kidnapped by Gero. It may also be due to his love of nature, as he was no longer a natural being after Gero turned him into an Android. 🐉 By the time of the Universe Survival Saga, Android 17 has become much calmer than before, and is a gentleman, suggesting that he is more mature than he had been in the past. Whereas before he was random in his decisions, going purely on his emotional state, he now showed a more collected and pragmatic nature.
