Wielding a wooden bokken, which can't be detected by weapons scanners, she prides herself on her ability to assassinate her targets exactly at the time she promises. While all Ctarl-Ctarl are blessed with this ability, few of her race can match her strength in either of her forms.Ī renowned and feared assassin throughout the Galaxy, the woman they call "Twilight" Suzuka is both beautiful and deadly. a beast resembling a cross between a wolf and a tiger with amazing destructive potential. In addition to having super strength typical of the Ctarl-Ctarl, Aisha can transform into an even more powerful form. Determined to complete her mission, she is forced to take on various part time jobs until she finally hooks up with the crew of the Outlaw Star. Unfortunately, a run-in with Gene and crew found her stripped of her Ambassadorship and without money or support from her homeland. She was an Ambassador for the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire, sent out on a mission to find the Galactic Leyline for the glory of the Empire. affection that he returns.Īisha Clan-Clan is a Ctarl-Ctarl, a race of cat-like beings. and as has already been mentioned, is in love with Gene. She has a special interest in cooking, and is on good terms with the other members of the Outlaw Star's crew. In general, though, Melfina is like a naive young girl living in constant wonder and amazement at the diversity of the universe. whether this means she is now a human is not revealed. At the conclusion to the quest for the Galactic Leyline, Melfina makes a wish to be with Gene always, and the part of her that interfaces with the Leyline vanishes along with it. Her purpose? Navigate to the centre of the Galactic Leyline and once there, unlock its secrets.īuilt as an advanced bio-android, Melfina is a synthetic human, but lives and breathes like anyone else. Melfina is a bio-android built by Gwen Kahn using alien technology even he did not understand. In addition to being the stereotypical computer, electronics, and mechanical whiz kid, Jim also attempts to keep a handle on Gene's extravegent ways, constantly reminding his older partner how little money they have left, and how hard finding Caster shells is becoming. He sees Melfina as a pseudo-mother figure, lending support to the theory that his own parents are no longer around. Jim gets along well with pretty much everyone, eventually even overcoming his distrust of Suzuka. Both the English dub and sub tracks ignore the word, and instead have Jim always refer to Gene by name, which was a wise move, as any of the direct translations would have been overly cumbersome. Regardless of how you translate it, however, it's clear that Jim and Gene aren't related, and the "mentor" definition is actually closer to the truth. In the original Japanese language version, Jim always referred to Gene as "aniki", which, depending on how you translate it, can mean everything from "mentor" to "one's senior" to "elder brother". While it's never made clear exactly how he and Gene ended up as partners, Jim does consider himself the brains of the operation. He is the son of a famous computer hacker known as the Computer Wizard, but beyond that, nothing is known of his family (although it is implied that his parents are dead). The other half of Starwind and Hawking Enterprises, young Jim Hawking is truly a child prodigy. Unfortunately because it is such an old weapon, ammunition is not easy to come by, and Jim is forever cautioning his partner to go easy on the ammo, because they have no idea how long it will be before they can get more. Because it is a different type of magic than the Tao magic used by the pirates who are pursuing him, it is especially deadly against them. A relic from ancient times, it fires Caster shells, bullets which contain magic. His favorite weapon, however, is his Caster gun. In addition to being an ace pilot, quite adept at grappler ship combat, Gene is quite capable in both hand to hand and armed combat. He certainly got more than his fair share of both. As a child, he watched as his father was killed by space pirates before his very eyes, and as a result, he has a special hatred for all pirates.Įven after forming Starwind and Hawking Enterprises with his partner, Jim, Gene still dreamed of making it into space and assuming the life of an outlaw in search of fame and treasure. Fortunately, he has the skills to back up his boasts. in other words, he's a gun toting, arrogant womanizer. Outlaw Star's lead character, Gene Starwind is the typical space opera hero.
