Overview:
Space
Bounty Hunters Spike, Faye, Jet, and Ed have never really
been able to scrape together that much of a profit from
their trade. But all that could change when the biggest
bounty of their lives drops into their laps. Now they
have been thrown into a plot of conspiracy, terrorism,
and experiments and must stop a madman before he attempts
to wipe out an entire planet with a deadly virus.
Some
Characters of Note:
 Spike
Spiegel: The primary character and anti-hero
of the story, he has had himself "killed" and removed
from his mafia ties to roam about the planets at
his own whim. A mix of James Bond, Bruce Lee, and
John McLaine, he finesses, fights, and shoots his
way to the bounty, in his own unique way. His carefree
but moody nature permeates nearly everything he
does, except when a beautiful face comes to haunt
his memories.

 Vincent:
A man with nothing left to live for, Vincent was
experimented on in an attempt to create "super
soldiers". However, he was discarded as a failure
and left to die. Now, however, he has returned,
and plans to use the very thing that was used to
enhance him in order to destroy the human race and
especially those who were responsible for making
him into what he is today. Vincent employs many
resources, including a hacker genius, in order to
further his goals.

 Faye
Valentine: After
encountering the Bebop on a few adventures of her
own, Faye settles in with the pair, leeching and
sharing the prize money she helps to accrue. At
22 years of age, she seemingly has no past, but
she does have a massive debt she doesn't seem to
wish to pay off, and quite an attitude (according
to Spike, anyhow). Her fine looks and persuasive
charm are often used to bend others to her will
(except Spike and Jet, who seem to be immune).

|
Electra:
Supposedly a medical scientist, Electra is actually
the only other one immune to the effects of the
nanomachine virus that Vincent plans to unleash
on the human race, due to the fact that she possesses
anti-nanomachines in her blood that have the ability
to act as a vaccine against the virus. At first
an enemy of Spike at the others, she eventually
joins forces with them in order to stop Vincent
from fulfilling his plans.
