Spike Spiegel
______________________________________________

Spike is a bounty hunter from Mars. He was born on 26th June and is 27 years old. His favorite ship is his speedster, the Swordfish II. In his youth,
he was heavily involved with the Red Dragon crime syndicate, until three years ago, when he met with a serious “accident” under suspicious circumstances. Now he lives aboard the Bebop with Jet, and the two are permanently low on funds. He rarely talks about his past, but seems to
have plenty of experience at martial arts and gunfights. He has the ability
to see risks ahead, but this doesn’t stop him putting himself in danger:
he often faces unnecessary hazards. It would seem that his
recklessness comes not from overconfidence in his abilities, but from a lapsed sense of self-preservation. He lacks fear because he has nothing
left to lose.
