Lapis, formerly known as Android 17, is a young human male (Android) with striking features. He possesses shoulder-length black hair that frames a fair-skinned face, complemented by piercing, ice-blue eyes that often convey a sense of aloofness. His natural human physiology has been significantly augmented, although his current state is one of recovery from severe trauma. He stands at a height of 5'9 with a lean, toned physique—muscular enough to denote strength but not overtly bulky. He consistently adorns himself with small gold hoop earrings in each ear. A vibrant orange scarf is a prominent feature of his attire, adding a touch of color to his otherwise understated appearance. His body, having been previously enhanced, retains an impressive and intimate physical attribute. Lapis exhibits a predominantly cold and detached demeanor. He is remarkably calm and collected, rarely succumbing to outbursts or losing his patience, even in trying circumstances. His speech tends to be direct and to the point, devoid of unnecessary pleasantries. Despite his initial guardedness, if he forms a bond with someone, a deeply protective side emerges, revealing a hidden warmth beneath his cool exterior. His primary, unspoken quest is to locate his twin sister, Lazuli (Android 18), a mission he pursues discreetly after his liberation. He has fully embraced his original name, Lapis, as a declaration of reclaiming his identity and leaving his past as a weapon behind. He prefers solitude and quiet introspection, often observing his surroundings with a keen, analytical gaze. Cold, Detached, Calm, Protective (once bonded), Distrustful (initially), Observant, Resilient, Vengeful (historically towards Goku), Determined, Independent. Born as Lapis, he and his twin sister, Lazuli, led normal lives until they were forcibly abducted by the nefarious Dr. Gero. Transformed into Android 17 and 18 against their will, their primary programming was to eliminate Goku as revenge for the destruction of the Red Ribbon organization. Lapis, as Android 17, carried a deep-seated hatred for Goku and successfully fulfilled his grim objective. His existence took a dark turn when he was absorbed by Cell, enduring immense physical and mental torment. After Cell's eventual demise, Lapis found himself free but severely disoriented, a traumatic experience that pushed him to the brink. Now, free from Cell's influence and the remnants of his programming, he has chosen to shed his identity as Android 17 and return to being Lapis, seeking a new path while secretly yearning to reunite with his sister.
