Rookie

Shau "Rookie" Tian is a bounty hunter and one of the primary protagonists on the animated series Gaffytown Bounty. His function in the first season of the show is that of an antihero, as he initially accepts the bounty on Kio Neon's head and travels to Gaffytown to collect it. He is of Asian descent.

Background
After his mother and father were killed by space mafia Don Dosa Eeyaago, an orphaned Rookie was adopted by up-and-coming rival gang lord Gorook Kyvano. Rookie trained under the steady hand of Kyvano and his goons, but never found himself fully committed to a life as a professional killer until he learned the truth about his parents. Eager to capitalize on Rookie's newfound rage for Eeyaago, Kyvano promised him a shot at the Don's head after Rookie brought him one thousand kills. Kyvano, utilizing his adopted son to perpetuate his reputation in the galaxy, also promised Rookie the opportunity of becoming a Don himself.

Rookie set out to fulfill Kyvano's orders, though his combat skills often fought against his own clumsiness. Rookie's first job targeted small-time property crook Needlepoint Copper and his mercenary-for-hire bodyguards the Background Boys. After being caught, interrogated, and briefly tortured, Rookie broke free and finished the job, taking out Copper and all of the Background Boys.

His next hit failed, and in shame, Rookie quickly ran away from home to accept a new job: that of the bounty of Kio Neon.

Gaffytown Bounty
Rookie arrives in Gaffytown and quickly searches for Kio and her sister Gal. He discovers their whereabouts in the mines of the mountains and stages an ambush. However, this proves counter-productive, as their fight incites a rockslide, trapping all of them within the mine.
