Cyborg

Appearances

Seventeen stands at 6’3”, weighs in at 140 pounds, and has charcoal eyes (blue when the AU is active and red when the RAGE is active). Seventeen’s attire consists of a simple combination on t-shirt, jeans, bandana, and boots. His ebony hair stretches halfway down his back. The android also wears armor a saiya-jin breastplate above his clothes, because he finds them comfortable and flexible.

The android’s Android Upgrade triggers a translucent, white aura to form around his body and for his hair to flap as if being blown around by win. When his RAGE Upgrade is activated, Seventeen increases in size to around fifteen feet and his muscle mass increases by leaps and bounds. He also sports a red aura and spiked hair in this form.

Personality

Seventeen thought he could retire from fighting. He thought he could sit down, put up a nice picket fence, and grow old with his soul mate and year-old twins.

Seventeen was wrong. Throughout the last year since the prior Dante’s Abyss, he’s been thrust into an increasingly ridiculous number of fights and planetary conflicts. At this point, he’s accepted that there’s nothing he can do except ‘go with the flow’, and that’s what he intends to do. To him, the Abyss is just another game for him to try and test his ability to survive and impress. Due to that, he plans to be rather lackadaisical and focus on enjoying himself and whoever he winds up with.

Possible Reactions

Seventeen enjoys the challenge of surviving. He’ll do what it takes, whether that means making some concessions or making some rather off-color decisions. At this point, he’s out there to have fun and leave something behind for the kiddies to remember him buy: A winner. That’s his goal, and nothing is going to stop him.

Relationships

Kirano - Seventeen's best friend and house mate. The two were reuntied after nearly two years whilst battling the Construct. The two had a deep, mutual bond and would do what it takes to keep the other safe from harm. Without a doubt, Kirano is the only competitior in the competition that the android would have major qualms killing.

Violet - Seventeen met this vixen/harlot/femme whatever many years ago during the invasion of the Red Stallions. They served together in Civil Unrest for several months, and even shared a moment where they nearly killed themselves together. That was the last time that the android saw her, for she was slain during the failed changeling invasion of Vegeta a couple of weeks later. If they were to met, it's obvious that there would be some catching up to do, but aside from that, Seventeen will treat her just as he would any other competitor, like an obstacle that he needs to get passed.

Celipa - The female saiya-jin and the android bonded a little on King Kai's world, but other than that, they are just aquaintences with a semi-friendly disposition.

Bardock & Reijin - Warriors who the android has encountered on prior conflicts and shares a neutral opinion toward.

Minoshia & Raditzu - Seventeen can't help but harbor a deep-seated loathing toward these two. Minoshia for causing the android to lose the DA before last, and Raditzu for being an overly arrogant bastard. The machine-hybrid wouldn't mind shanking either of the warriors if the opportunity present itself, although he won't go out of his way to provoke an altecation with either of them (at least, y'know, a face-to-face altercation...)

Fighting Style

Seventeen doesn’t really have concrete ‘style’ of fighting. He tries to fight in the most spontaneous manner possible, and in doing so, he attempts to constantly keep his opponent pondering what he will do next. Due to his partially synthetic nature, he constantly tries to analyze his opponent for any signs of weakness or flaws in their own style of combat.

Seventeen mainly fights using a rapid succession of ki attacks and strikes, although he does tend to favor fighting with a sword (in the form of a ki saber). When the going gets tough, the android won’t hesitate to use anything and everything he can find to either defend himself or gain an advantage—whatever will help him destroy his foe with the least possible collateral damage. Examples of tactics he enjoys involves using ki absorption to steal hi opponents’ strength and using shapechange to keep them confused and off guard.

Abilities

Ki Absorption – The ability to absorb ki attacks and energy directly from a person

Shapechange – The ability to alter one’s appearance to look like that of someone or something else.
