She doesn't know who she is or where she came from, but travels with Gene and company in her quest to discover her past.Īisha Clan-Clan is a Ctarl-Ctarl, a race of cat-like beings. seemingly a young girl found frozen in a box, pursued by the Kei Pirates, mysteriously able to interface with the Outlaw Star to handle its navigation, and in reality, a bio-android. 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 (although it is implied that Jim's parents are dead), Jim does consider himself the brains of the operation. 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.
