| Overview: | Jazz Agers, flower children, lost generation, beatniks, rockers, punks, nerds, hackers, lovers, generation X--whatever the designation, there have always been outlaws in our society who live in pursuit of autonomy. At times they are revered for their roles as pioneers, challenging the unknown; other times people consider them lawless desperadoes and a dangerous presence. Yet, really, it is only their exuberant music and an autonomy founded to express options different from those of others that set them apart from the rest of society.
The year 2071 AD. That future is now. Driven out of their terrestrial Eden, humanity chose the stars as the final frontier. With the section-by-section collapse of the former nations a mixed jumble of races and peoples came. They spread to the stars, taking with them the now confused concepts of freedom, violence, illegality, and love, where new rules and a new generation of outlaws came into being. People referred to them as "Cowboy Bebops"...
Profile: Ein, Age 2. People refer to the dog as Ein. Ein is a Welsh Corgi with characteristic stubby, almost unwieldy, legs and a tailless rump. At a glance Ein appears to be nothing more than a somewhat charming two-year-old dog, and yet he conceals a great secret of which no one is yet aware.
So what is Ein, then? In fact he is an illegal "data dog", which was developed by a certain research group, through many months of research and a phenomenal amount of capital. Supposedly, his trade price in collectors' circles is astronomical. But what is a "data dog"? What does it do? No surprise to find that this, too, is a secret.
Ein behaves at times as if possessed of an intellect that affords perfect comprehension of human speech and, on occasions, enables even the utilization of telephones and computers. A dog to the last, however, Ein never speaks in the human tongue.
As a consequence, the true details remain shrouded in the dark. But even so, the fact that he has a liking for carrots and has an intensely curious if a little incautious nature is seemingly understood by even the crew of Bebop.
