HISTORY
The plot is vastly (almost completely) based on one of my favorite manga/anime, Cowboy Bebop. It’s the year 2075 (in the anime plot the main character, Spike Spiegel, died 4 years ago). On the year 2021 interplanetary voyage became possible through hyperspace gateways so many moon of planets on the solar system are now inhabited by humans in terraformed locations. Since crime ravages and roams free through the planets and satellites, there are too many criminals and few cops around the system, so the ISSP (Inter-Solar System Police) decided to offer bounties to anyone brave or stupid enough to bring these criminals to them, around the system the bounty hunters are known as cowboys too, some of them tend to form in groups as the Cowboy Bebop (the main pathetic group of freaks as described by one of the members), if you already read this section pm me a Mr. Green with your character form there are still some thing to read so wait till there please, so the history begins once again with a brand new group of cowboys ready to roam the Solar System in search for any bounty in order to pay their bills and just maybe be able to buy some food. The currency in the System is the Woolong, and we don’t use tangible cash, instead people use money cards and perform digital transactions

NPC’s: they may or may not be used on the RP, it depends on the plot development
1. Faye Valentine & Jet Black: they are the remaining members of the Bebop, since Spike is alleged to be death and Ed left to live with her father back on Earth, Faye is a hottie who was cryogenically frozen at the age of 23 back when the Earth was habitable on the surface, she’s now 77 years old, has nothing but the Bebop and a multimillionaire debt for the cryogenic treatment. Jet is a 37 man who after losing his real arm and the woman he loved years ago, pm a ninja if read this section, decided to left Ganymede and live as a cowboy, used to be an ISSP detective, has many contacts inside the organization.
2. Bob: an ISSP officer known by Jet and my character, he leaks a lot of info to his friends. A cool old fart.
3. Edward: a 16 years old girl who’s a master hacker, she now lives traveling the Earth’s surface alongside her father, anyway, she still sells information to get an extra profit and may tag along for the right payment.
4. Punch and Judy: they are the hosts of a Big Shot, a show pretended to be watched by cowboys, it shows the newest bounties offered by the ISSP, those who have already been caught and those who seems to be dead or still missing

ORG’s:
1. Golden Eagle: the main cowboy group, some players will tag alone with me in this org. as bounty hunters.
2. Red Dragon Syndicate: used to be the main syndicate of crime on the system, the most feared, and it’s not really wise to mess with these guys at least there’s a small fry or a huge bounty. It’s been fallen for a time since they’re head died 4 years ago by the hands of Spike Spiegel.
3. White Tiger Syndicate: used to be the second syndicate on the system, for this section pm me a cheese and wine, has same status as the Red Dragon. Nowadays stronger and more feared than the Red Dragon
4. ISSP: those who pay the cowboys for their deplorable and dangerous job, there are at the least two stations of these guys on each colony, cowboys may turn delinquents on any station but can only be paid in Ganymede of Pluto, that’s the rule
5. Radar: Radar is a space pirate organization, the operate around Mars and the Earth, he stole the goods being tranported by cargo vessels and and space trailers, they also are up to accept assessination and stealing job from some 'special costumers', they disappeared a year ago when the opponent pirate group Sweep raided their' base, thefew survivor are supposed to be scattered around the system
6. Sweep: the opponent organization to Radar, they raid Radar's base a year ago and utterly destryoed it, now the 'own' the rights to hijack the trading routes from Earth to Mars

PLOT & DEVELOPMENT
The plot’s simple, we’ll start we a guy trying to form a new cowboy group, as this group grows in fame and quality they’ll get access to better bounties, not al the players are going to be cowboys, and not all the players will be cowboys, not all the cowboys get to be in the Golden Eagle, as a fact if you create a group that would be a rival to the G.E. I’ll be grateful, since this RP is OURS, any contribution is thankfully taken, even if you wanna be a delinquent, I’ll make forms specific for criminals, the plot will have may drastic events, so be aware that you mat die, send a heart after reading this section, I still hadn’t decided if Drew (main character, me) dies or not, maybe we’ll let criminals go. Many interesting things will happen in this RP, you are about to get to a great experience, but, for great RPs, you must learned big instructions as these. Also many will get to play until later on the RP, so if you’re aren’t in the G.E. I compromise myself to PM you when you’re needed, if you don’t answer, I’ll take the liberty of using that character as an NPC or I’ll create a cool NPC to capture or compete with. By the way, if you die or get caught or something that involves the RPC disappearing from the plot, you may send me a new RPC profile and I’ll take your offer on for further development

PLACES: I’m up to use these as main plot points:
01. Earth: an hyperspace gateway that was under construction crashed with the moon, making it to explode and made the earth’s surface uninhabitable since the constant meteor rains, most of the people remaining there lives underground near the sea.
02. Tharsis: A Mars’ region, it’s quite populated, there are several big colonies in here, and in craters and they look like valleys. The two principal Crime Syndicates in the Solar System have they’re HQ’s here.
03. Venus: there are some oxygen-producing plants that makes life possible in Venus, however, this plants produce a spore that carries a sickness named “Venus Sickness”, if it’s left untreated, it may lead the person first to blindness and then death, treating it isn’t cheap.
04. Ganymede: A moon from Jupiter, it’s a huge fishing industry since the most of it is covered by water, send a Domokun for this section, has a port usual weather, either sunny or rainy. The ISSP HQ’s are located in here, this is one of the places to deliver the bounties
05. Callisto: Another Jupiter moon terraformed, cold and inhospitable, there’s a city named Blue Crow, which is only inhabited by men (with all the implications it carries) a woman is rarely seen there, it’s known for being a refuge for men who are running away from their lives, also a hideout for criminals.
06. Io: Yet, another Galilean moon terraformed, think of a moon-sized Nuevo Mexico, yeah, that’s quite like Io. Maybe a bounty will be found there.
07. Pluto: there’s a sole colony in there’, there’s where the ISSP had settled a Penitentiary Complex; this is another place to leave the bounties and get paid for it at the same time.
08. Titan: Saturn’s biggest moon, a desert like place at war since 2060, life there’s a whole crap.
09. Space Stations: Some are inhabited and other’s are supposedly deserted but is a fact they’re perfect places for recluses and criminals.
10. Space Graveyards: conglomerations on junk that have become habitable to humans and used for black business and other illegal matters.
11. Golden Eagle: it’s like the Bebop, it’s a huge spacecraft the Hauptmann Eagles use as their home and HQ, it has a commanding room, a sort a of shabby living room, a communications room, bedrooms (2 beds per room) 2 WC and 2 showers the dock for personal spaceships (has room for 4, minus one counting mine, slots are first-come first-serve) and other facilities a regular army spaceship has

RULES
01. I’ll do the major plot development: if someone wants to contribute to the plot, I won’t make a fuss, I’m rather thankful to it, since it’s tiring to do everything by myself, but if you get over me and start to dictate events like crazy, you must take the consequences of doing so
02. No gomodding: remember I’m the major plot developer, if you try to be terminator, you’ll be the one terminated, I don’t even care how, from a headshot to a toxic fly on your soup to slipping on the bathtub, I’ll get you killed, please I don’t want to do this, so please don’t force me to take this kind of actions.
03. Swearing is OK, but measure yourself: avoid the “F” bomb and her relatives, normal PG-15 cursing is allowed tough. Just be aware of not cursing 9 times on a single sentence since there are people under age here, I encourage the use of asterisks.
04. Blood and gore are allowed. Just don’t make it to explicit; if someone has a weak stomach, I’m sure that person will appreciate your consideration. Remember the kids.
05. Explicit sexual content is NOT allowed by any mean, I will not tolerate that kind of content here, when finished with this section send me an idea, it’s an auto black list, as a fact, I myself we’ll denounce you to the mods and School of Dedicated RPers since his also against that kind of content in here. “Set limits to live a limitless life”.
06. Romance allowed: I support and encourage it. Again nothing to horny to get someone else offended.
07. Comedy: I encourage this one the most, nothig better than a comic-relief, just don’t get to stupid or I’ll PM you a warning.
08. Any offensive intentional offense referring to gender, sexual orientation, race, creed or any other group affiliation related offense, I will black list you so fast you’ll be dazed.
09. For OOC use ‘OOC:’ quotation marks (“”) for speech and nothing for actions, nothing worse than threads full of () [] ** ++ “” ‘’ I just hate it…
10. Breaking those rules that doesn’t black list you automatically, except rule #9 will make you worthy of a warning through a PM and you must ask for a public apology on the thread.
11. Incurring twice on rule #10 will make you get black list, these rules are to make role playing something enjoyable to everyone, so please respect them.

Explanation:
01. I wont explain this one

10. The reason your head has a price on it, be creative

ADDITONAL INFO
Any update over rules, mayor plot events or any other important info will be posted here, so please, read the section every once
- For NPC’s I’ll post in dark red and for plot events I’ll post in dark blue
- Bounty prices: if the bounty’s below 7,000,000 W is a small fry, between 7,000,000 and 20,000,000 is a bounty worthy working on it, anything above 20,000,000 can be considered as a really dangerous bounty, a important syndicate member
- To make it funny, and give it the feeling of a bounty hunter manga/anime, the Golden Eagle crew always haves a wicked luck, and is forever broke, yes, that’s the life of a bounty hunter
- Inflation: 100 W = 1 USD, anyway since the Woolong is the only currency this one is just to give you the idea (100K USD for a regular bounty, you can guess those guys aren’t shoplifters)
- Spaceships in Golden Eagle's hangar: Swooping Talon
