[ Personality ] :
17 can be childish despite his age appearance. To pass the time, he would treat almost anyone and anything like it’s a game. 17 doesn't like to complete tasks easily, he preferred the challenge along the way, he’s a thrill seeker. On the mission he was assigned to go after Goku, instead of flying he decided to take a car. For him, the longer the game was, the better. He would pout if someone tried to make it simple for him. To prolong the mission, he suggested to take the car and made it to a road trip instead of flying, which would be a simple task. The only thing that would kill him was boredom.

One of the strongest traits 17 has is his sense of self. He would refuse to take orders from his creator and decided on his choices for himself. The thought of someone ordering him around would have taken away his freedom and choices. He hated it. He would also put his pride on the line even if it meant he would die. When a fight wasn’t going in his favor, he would stubbornly continue with no help. He is also respectful enough to step aside when it wasn’t his fight. He did this when his twin sister, 18, was in a match. Another spice to add into the fun, he didn't interfere until the other side did to aid 18's opponent. 17 also complimented on Piccolo on his sudden increase of strength, in a satisfied way. Even though his pride is on the line, bluffs do not affect him. When Piccolo tried to taunt him during their battle, 17 kept his head cool, and focused on what was really going on in the fight. Being a superior android, he hates to lose. Even when it’s obvious 17 will fall, he will continue to fight. not even running away is an option for him.

Even though 17 is part machine, his human emotions remain. During their travel to find Goku, 17 did not take any other lives besides Dr. Gero's. Anyone that crossed their path, 17 only slowed them down so they wouldn't interfere. Even when facing the fighters, he told them he'd rather not take their lives since they were meaningless to him. He also helped Android 16 to wake up from the 'coffin', as he called it. Despite Dr. Gero’s warning, 17 woke 16 up regardless. For someone who was to remain dormant for a long time, 17 shared the freedom as well. 17 is also pretty good at looking out for the androids, especially his sister.

When 17 encountered Cell, his world was about to be flipped. The thought of being ‘part’ with Cell sickened him. 17 was ready to fight with everything he had at that time. He even set aside his difference with Piccolo to take care of the matter. Remember, 17 has taken only one life of a human and it was Dr. Gero only. 17 even worried about Piccolo when Piccolo was badly beaten by Cell. Goes to show not all half machines are heartless bastards. Even 16 thanked them, 17 and 18, for not killing any humans during their road trip.

Cell was about to be 17’s tough opponent, and his last. 17 learned how much a struggle a fight can be, especially with his life on the line. Even if it was Dr. Gero’s will, 17 refused to be a part of Cell. Being a part of him resulted 17 to be dead.

[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Strengths:
-Unlimited supply battery cyborg. 17 is an Energizer bunny that can keep going and going. This includes super strengths, flying, energy beams, etc.
-Knows hand to hand combat skills.
-Since his energy is artificial, it would be hard to sense from other humans/saiyans. It’s like being invisible to them.
-Pride. He is proud of who he is and doesn't want to change it. He likes to be independent.
-Self control. Even in tough situations, he tries to keep himself level headed and focus on the situations, mostly fights.
-Can drive cars.

Weakness:
-Can get KOed by 2nd level Super Saiyans or higher.
-Ego and pride. 17 thinks he's the perfect creation and can be full of himself. This also tends to make him cocky.
-Childish. He likes to treat almost anything like a game.
-Bomb in his chest. It's still sitting there.

[ Other Important Facts ] :
Even though in the series 17 is described as an 'android', he is really a cyborg. In the series there are series of android Dr. Gero created, 17 and 18 are the only ones that are half human, and including himself.

[ Sample ] :
[canon setting]

The temperature continued to rise at noon. In the van, 17's eyes focused on the road as he continued to drive. His twin sister, 18, lounged on the passenger side. Behind them, 16 sat forward, still, with his lower back against the wall. An hour on the road was already beginning to be a drag. Sure had sounded more exciting when he thought about it. Something was missing...

17's eyes glanced toward the view of the large body of water, and what was on it. His eyes didn't move from that spot, it was as if something dragged just above the water. When his optical lenses focused, it was a human? No, a human on jet ski. Oh, this was too perfect. Calmly, he looked towards his sister with a smile, "Hey, we're going to make a detour." 18 didn’t seem too amused by the idea, she still agreed. Perhaps if he mentioned clothes and shopping, she'd agree. Very well, clothes and jet skis, that will be their objective for this part of the trip, and whatever 16 would like to do. At least this would make the trip more interesting, and fun.

He parked the van on the designated lot, and the three exited the vehicle. 17 looked around at the small beach. Perhaps he should wear swim shorts. It didn't matter to him, although he thought 18 might like the idea. Naw, it would be better to skip all that. He looked up to his companion #16 and asked, "And what about you 16? Up for a swim?" The android didn’t feel like responding it seemed.
