Android 17

How Android 17 joined the Tourney
Android 17 was originally a human named Lapis, and the youngest out of him and his twin sister Lazuli. The twins were notorious delinquents, who Dr. Gero would meet by chance while looking for fresh material for his experiments. He then kidnapped them and restructured them into Android 17 and Android 18. He is the first artificial human, out of him and his twin sister, designed by Dr. Gero to be created by fitting a human being with both bio-mechanical and cybernetic enhancements. The bio-mechanical enhancements are organic substances patterned after human cells, which makes it possible for Cell to merge with the androids at a cellular level. Since they are human-based, they can become stronger if they train. Though they do not need to eat, they do need to hydrate. Also, their cells deteriorate slowly, so they age slowly too.

After the Majin Buu crisis, Android 17 went to stop poachers from tormenting a snake and its babies. Just then, a living model named Cycloid Beta was sent to gather data on the androids created by Dr. Gero.
