Outlaw Star's lead character, Gene Starwind is the typical space opera hero ... in other words, he's a gun toting, arrogant womanizer. Fortunately, he has the skills to back up his boasts. 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.

Even 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. He certainly got more than his fair share of both.

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. His favorite weapon, however, is his Caster gun. A relic from ancient times, it fires Caster shells, bullets which contain magic. 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. 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.
