In the year 2071, there is a new world. Space, This new age depends upon its survival, and it is kept safe by people known as Bounty Hunters, the cowboy's of the new frontier if you will. A small group of Interplanetary Bounty Hunters that could have been the best is the focus of this story. A group that resides on a small reformed fishing ship affectionately called 'The Bebop'. They'll do anything they have to get their grubby hands on some cash. Bounty Hunting isn't exactly the easiest business, after all.
Like I said Bebop has a rather small crew, what Bounty Hunter team wouldn't though? It started off with just two single men with interesting pasts, Jet Black and Spike Spiegel. Spike standing a lovely 6ft. 2in, 27 years old, blood type O. Born on Mar's, he has short green hair, always giving him the 'I just crawled my ass out of bed, fuck off' look. You can most always find him in his blue jacket and pants with his crinkled up yellow shirt underneath. He smokes, drinks, and he loves Bruce Lee, but don't be deceived. Spikes a real ladies killer. Jet's a retired ISSP agent. He stands 6ft 3in, he's 36, and his blood type is A. Jet's birthplace is Ganymede, besides his black hair and his beard, not much is known about Jet. One of his arms was lost in an ISSP accident, causing him to have the mechanical one he has now. While Spike does most of the on fieldwork, Jet's the computer person, always on the ship backing the crew up.
Yeah, That was the original crew of the Bebop; those two together fixed up Bebop and formed a team. That was until the ladies came around. Faye Valentine and Edward Wong Hau Papalu Tirveski the fourth. Faye is a hardcore gambler; she happened to find the crew trying to pay off a debt and ended up with a bounty on her head. She's 5ft 7in, 77 years old, Blood type B. Now don't start going crazy because she's 77. She looks like she's only 22. She spent 54 years in Suspended Animation (SA). She was born on earth, while she was there, (before space was inhabitable), she got into a car accident, wiping out her memory and causing the doctors to put her into SA so she wouldn't die. Now of course this also put her into a lot of debt, but she doesn't quite know this yet. Faye has short purple hair and a sassy bitch like attitude. Can't say she doesn't make things livelier though. Ed is the newest and most insane member of Bebop. At 4ft 6in tall, 13 years old, and blood type AB, Ed is an expert hacker. She was born on earth, and lived there until Spike and Jet came and found her. Ed was originally a Bounty they were going to pick up. After they didn't Ed hacked the Bebop into turning around and picking her up because she liked them so much. Ed is now a highly valued member of the crew.
There is, of course, one more member of the crew that's more important then any of them know. Ein, the Data Dog, Ein was also discovered on a Bounty hunt, he's a very wanted dog as he has more powers then anyone's aware of. But that's still to be figured out.
Now on to what a Bounty really is, a bounty is a defined sum of money on a wanted persons head. This individual may be wanted dead or alive, in our world if you bring this said individual into custody, cash as in dollar bills will be paid to you. However in the world of Bebop they don't have cash, they have Woolongs, or electric money. The popular show 'Big Shot' is one way Bounty Hunters find a certain Bounty Head to search for. Looking for the highest price for the easiest Bounty Head, such is the life of a Bounty Hunter. We'll join the Bebop as they hunt a certain Bounty Head Maude Powell, 30,000,000 Woolongs on his head for the rape, torture, and murder of three female ISSP agents. So let's see if the Bebop is fortunate enough to have been Blessed by the 'Good Luck Goddess' herself, or at least lucky enough to afford some food.
