i'm not telling what my name will be, but it will be bounty hunter specific that not a whole lot of people will get unless you're an anime fan.

Incidentally, if you're really into that story, you might enjoy reading Philip Jose Farmer's reference in his book Tarzan Alive to Wolf Larsen. Although mostly about the "real" Tarzan, as part of his thesis Farmer manages to show how such literary characters as Tarzan, Doc Savage, Sherlock (and Mycroft) Holmes, Bulldog Drummond, Nero Wolfe, Professor Challenger, and others are all "related" genealogically. (There was this radioactive meteorite that landed next to four couples in carriages in early Victorian England, you see, and....)
Interesting stuff.

Don't know what ship I will be looking to buy yet, I would have liked a multi-person freight ship, but I think the yt-1300 will just be too common.
*shrugs* I will see what options are there on launch day. (or maybe day 2 *cough*)
Whatever it is, the name will be Five_Rings
