Any good ideas for a D&D character in a sorta, space pirate-esque campaign?

Was invited to join a campaign that's apparently going to be set in space, and I have No Idea what kind of character to create. My head caters to fun ideas for medieval fantasy, not a lot else lol. What kind of character could be in this setting? 🙈😭

It's going to be DnD 5e I'm pretty sure.

You could be a space bounty hunter with your own secret backstory and goals. Basically just thinking of Spike from Cowboy Bebop lol, thats a good show for ideas actually.

@Ryannnnnn Haha Cowboy Bebop was one of the places I tried looking for inspiration actually 👌 But I know one of the other players is most likely going to have something similar to Spike, so I have low-key decided on a smuggler, junker, scrap mechanic kinda gal.

@NorthernRoses Haha yeah probably. You can do a lot with that, adding alien elements is an option also. You could have some really interesting mechanics.

@NorthernRoses Sounds like a female Han Solo. I approve.
