So you decided to come back. That’s not too surprising. If you make it to Day Two, you’ll make it until the end of the week before you drop out and head back to whatever hole or station you crawled out of. Don’t worry, we won’t tell Mary Jane back home that you washed out.
So you want to know what Bounty Head Bebop is all about. Well, pardon the history lesson, but it’s 2073. In 2023, a comet destroyed Earth’s moon, creating an unstable wormhole. Pieces of that comet were then use to create more wormholes which eventually got turned into gates. Now, anywhere in the system you wanna go, there’s probably a gate nearby. Boom! Instantaneous travel.
Most of the solar system is settled. From Mercury to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Even Pluto has a penal colony on it, but don’t visit there, rookie.
Some of the planets are run by the Mega-Corps, some by the Underworld (like the weapons dealers of Venus.) Sure, there a few real governments left. City-states rule Mars. The Inuit Nation does a pretty good job running some of what’s left on Earth, but even they’re pretty much the number two man behind the ArgentilŽ. I guess people want opium and slaves more than synthetic whale fat.
Then again, you knew all that, didn’t you? Hey, don’t get too cocky. You never know who your next target is going to be or where they’re gonna to come from. You better know the difference between leisure fishing in Europa and volcano climbing on Io ’cause if you forget to bring a hard radiation suit to one of ‘em, it don’t matter how good of a bounty hunter you are. The rads will kill you dead.
‘Cause in the end, that’s what Bounty Head Bebop is all about. It’s your skills as a bounty hunter against some of the worst scum in the universe.
Bet you want to know how to use those skills. Well for that, you’re gonna have to come back tomorrow.
Y’know guys, if you’re going to rip off a certain cult classic animated series lock, stock, and barrel, it generally helps if your title doesn’t _directly allude to the property you’re brazenly copying._ Oh, and moving all the dates ahead two years isn’t fooling anybody.
Thank you for your response and concern. To answer your concern Bounty Head Bebop is a unique and original universe. While we do use similar themes to a certain Cult Classic Anime Series, we have expressed them in our own unique way. Bounty Hunters in space is a theme found in many different sci-fi games and settings, however we favor a jazzed up universe and pay a simple homage to the progenitor of that genre. But understand that Bounty Head Bebop has many places of Influence, including Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Tri-Gun and even Firefly/Serenity. The genre of Jazzed out Space Western is one which hasn’t been explored enough in our opinion so we did just that.
