Hey Kitana you want us to post our character ideas or email them?

Well if there's something you don't want the others to see, then go ahead and email me. Make sure the title reads

COWBOY BEBOP

so that I don't delete it by accident.

Otherwise, just posting them here is fine.
 

Ok heres mine

Gilgamesh Tenskawatawa
Dedicated Hero
Age 21

Gilgamesh ('Gil') is from the domed city of Tijuana in the Asteroid Belt. Born to a working class family and raised in one of the rougher districts of the city, his early years were difficult. The violence and crime of his neighborhoods would have claimed Gil as one of its many victims if not for the intervention of "Los Cruzados de la Plata"(The Silver Crusaders) a citizen patrol group. The Cruzados serve as volunteer watchdog group that keeps order in neighborhoods that the police no longer protect, attempting to control the petty criminals and drug dealers that infest the poor areas. Although decried as vigilantes by the authorities, the Cruzados are loved by the common working class citizens.

The Cruzados strange mixture of beatnik philosophy, an ethos of self reliance, firearm profeciency, and a Robin-Hood esque mission to aid those in need, grabbed the imagination of young Gil. He joined the organization at 16 and became a dedicated follower. Although too lanky to be a strong, physical street brawler, he cultivated other abilities. He became skilled in the use of med packs to heal his comrades and civilians, learned how to use a gun, and most importantly, developed the talent to read a person; to discern their motives, honesty and loyalty. In time, he rose through the ranks, becoming a chapter leader in his old neighborhood.

As guardian angels of the slums, the Cruzados sometimes came in contact with cowboys scouring the seedy districts for bounty heads. Gil often worked with these cowboys and collected finders fees for his work. Seeing this as a way to generate much needed income for the Cruzados, Gil soon concentrated more and more of his time to cowboying. Bounty work was exciting and a challenge to Gil, an escape from the slums, as well as a way to spread the ideas of the Cruzados across the solar system. And for Gil, hunting down bounty heads is as much about justice as earning woolongs.

Gil stands about 6 feet tall, and weighs about 170 pounds. He has bronze colored skin, brown eyes and long shaggy black hair. He dresses in the defacto unifrom of the Cruzados: vintage black army boots, dungarees, white tee shirt and black leather motorcycle jacket. Sunglasses round out the ensemble. Like all Cruzados, Gil speaks in beatnik-speak; his speech is peppered with of the lingo and slang of the last century (hepcat being one of Gil's favorite words). Despite his seemingly unflappable, laid back attitude, Gil is very serious minded in what he sees as his core mission-helping the less fortunate, catching bad guys, and making money for the Cruzados.

As we mull over characters, here's one of my favorite sites Bebop related, gives a nice background to the "world" of 2071.

http://rfblues.aaanime.net/

Occasionally the site goes wonky and cant be accessed but reappears a day later or so.

this is a great site and I recommend that everyone who isn't familiar with BeBop look it over.

:p ;) :D

If you want anything from the CowBoy BeBop series, just ask me and I will stat it up for you.

Post your character concepts here for approval please before creating your actual character. When everyone's concepts have been approved of then I will set up a rogue gallery for you to post your completed characters in.

When everyone's characters are completed and in the rogue gallery, I will put up an IC thread and begin the game.

Daiymo - You guy sounds great!

What restrictions are you putting on firearms? I dont have the Ultramodern book -although that may change. I assume we're not to be walking arsenals.

So go by the lisc/restricted guidlines? My PC is probably just going to have a pistol or an easily concealed machine pistol, anyway.

Just wondering...

Well definitely not walking arsenals, yes. If you have anything unusual, I'd like to see an explanation of why you would have something like that in your character concept...that goes for ALL equipment.
 


Character Concept:
Sean Conners was taken by space pirates when he was young. He hated them at first and tried to escape whenever the oppurtunity presented itself, but he eventually leaned that they would not let him escape. He submitted and began to suck up to the captain, soon he was all of the pirates favorite. They taught him guns and everything about them, though he favored handguns. Once he had learned everything he needed to get along on his own he took his revenge for his lost childhood. Not one pirate left the ship alive. Now he had everything he needed, a ship, guns, and a goal. He searched for his parents for years, until he learned that they were killed the day he was taken.

I'm not sure how i will tie him into the other bounty hunters yet, but i am looking at a fast hero/gunslinger if we are high enough level.
