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 opinions different from those of others that set them apart from the rest of society.
The year 2071 A.D. That future is now. Driven out of their terrestrial eden, humanity chose the stars as the final frontier. With the section-by-section of 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�br> Profile: Julia She is the phantasm that continues to inhabit his past -- a clutch of memories never to be forgotten.When she appears before him, the world he had believed to be reality begins a shift towards the illusory.The illusion named Julia -- her of unclear providence, unknown age.
Her tears, her smile, her perfume - never had he considered the possibility of their loss - all slip away into the recesses of memory.All he remembers for certain is her name, and nothing more; even that may prove to be just a figment, another phantasm.But for the moment he can not be sure.
A woman, who disappeared on that rainy day; a betrayal, by the friend he considered a brother in arms; and flight, away from the organization that had raised and nurtured him - by thus destroying his own past and her ghostly phantasm, he 'died' a first death and was reborn anew.
Yet he subconsciously continued to seek this truth, which he had supposedly destroyed and had vanished beyond the limits of his memory.For it is this very phantasm that defined that reality he lost, is his anima and his sole embodiment of a woman.And once again, on another rainy afternoon, in that selfsame place, he will face his destiny.
