Dangerous Characters: Gene Starwind

Hey everyone. I'm glad to be back. Unlike a lot of our latest characters who generally start trouble. This guy is more like some of our earlier entries, who seem to attract it. Nothing wrong with that, unless said trouble is hazardous to your health and that of the people around you. When space pirates and bounty hunters start coming after you, that's when it starts getting a bit dangerous. But this guy never lets that get him down. So let's give it up for one of my personal space-faring favorites, Gene Starwind.

The protagonist from the series Outlaw Star, Gene is definitely a bit of a hothead, though he's also got his sensitive side, which often shows in the way he treats the other members of his crew, particularly Melfina, the Outlaw Star's bio-android/navi-computer. Though violence can be his job sometimes, he's more at home defending people from it. The problem comes when he has to fend it off in public spaces. That's when things really start getting hot in the kitchen, and bystanders really need to get away from the oven. Fortunately, he's not without resources, like his skills in bar-room brawling and his gun that shoots caster shells (for the uninitiated, they basically shoot magic). However, those can be a double-edged sword, especially in regards to the ones that spread the damage over a wide area. Some of them are so dangerous they can even create craters. So while he won't actually try to hurt anyone who isn't in the fight, even if he's careful with his weaponry, his opponents usually aren't. If you happen to be in his neck of the woods, caution is advised.

P.S. I'll have my pictures from Nekocon up very soon!
