Jet Black

Jet Black is a character from Cowboy Bebop and is a recurring character in AniCity. He was originally an officer in the AniCity police force but retired after he lost his original limb in an ambush involving assassins & crooked cops. Now, he’s the owner of the self-titled pub Jet’s Place, where he often acts as the go-to guy for advice for the main cast whenever they need some advice from an outside source. But while he mostly stays behind the bar nowadays, he isn’t afraid to duke it out with some of the villains the city faces, especially if they mess up his pub.

## Personality

Although he may look gruff and sometimes has rude attitudes, Jet is a good-hearted, caring, and thoughtful man who, while hiding his feelings, has a great affection for the friends he has in the city. Undoubtedly the most reliable member of the crew, Jet proves to be very apprehensive, proud, and capable of great fidelity. For some of his attitudes, he could be considered a control freak, but it is not intentional, and practically everyone that talks to him about their problems recognize his choices as the most right.

Jet is presented as mature, wise, and austere. He often gives wise advice to his companions and always shows great patience for their over-the-top attitudes. In particular, he is very patient with everyone in the main cast, even the more aggravating ones like Yusuke. Although all of his younger patrons consider him kind of a father figure, a situation proved by his occasional scolding for some of their attitudes and him being the ship's cook, Jet proves to be considerably offended by this association as it makes him look older than he actually is.

Jet has a great passion for bonsai - likely a testament to his nurturing side - and cooking (although his dishes are harshly criticized by his companions). He also adores jazz and blues music - particularly the songs of Charlie Parker, and highly appreciates the works of Goethe. He’s very proud of his pub and greatly worries about the damage it often receives in fights in the city.

## Skills & Equipment

* Fighting Prowess
* Marksmanship

Jet is very skilled with an armed weapon, with his personal weapons of choice being his trusty Walther P99.

* Cybernetic Arm

His original limb being lost in an ambush, Jet’s left arm is a synthetic, robotic limb that seems to heighten his strength.

## Relationships

### Yusuke Urameshi

Jet often fights with Yusuke over his excessive stubbornness and some of the fights he and Kuwabara have their scuffles in his pub, especially not liking how often he points out the "problems" with his Bell Peppers and Beef, but it's clear the two have a mutual respect for each other, and like most "good" adults in his life, he just wants Yusuke to be the best version of himself he can.

## Notes

Jet being a bartender mostly stems from his laid-back and mature/wise demeanor, a trait common in many bartender characters (as well as his often-seen preference for booze and the like). His behavior with the main cast is also slightly based off of South Park’s own Chef, as a substitute for how he interacted with the Bebop crew in the original show.
