Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Captain of the Serenity)- Suggested Class: Soldier/Scoundrel
Mal is Serenity’s captain. He is a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the Alliance to no avail. The world he called “home” now gone, Mal does what he needs to do to keep Serenity flying and its crew intact. Uncertain of his role in peacetime, Mal wants a normal life, but at the same time knows he'll probably never have one – an ongoing internal conflict.
Zoe (Wash's Wife; Mal's Compatriot from the War)- Suggested Class: Soldier
Zoe served with Mal during the war and is very loyal to him. She owes her life to Mal and is torn between that debt and her future with her husband Wash. Zoe has the strength and experience to take command of the ship, if necessary.
Wash (Zoe's Husband; Pilot)- Suggested Class: Scout
Wash flies Serenity and is Zoe's husband. He is unassuming, self-deprecating and not at all the fiery-hero type. He is the calm one with a sense of humor.
Inara (Companion)- Suggested Class: Noble
A “Companion” by trade, Inara has her own space on the ship’s shuttlecraft. She is a high-class courtesan in a time when prostitution is perfectly legal on most planets. Why she is on the decidedly working class Serenity remains a mystery.
Kaylee (Engineer)- Suggested Class: Tech Specialist (Mechanics Emphasis)
The ship's engineer and bright light, Kaylee is more comfortable on “her” ship than on the ground.
Jayne (Muscle)- Suggested Class: Fringer
Big, tough and unpleasant; Jayne’s a loyal soldier… until he gets a better offer and for now, the
best one he’s got is Serenity’s. For now.
Simon (River's Brother; Doctor)- Suggested Class: Noble/Tech Specialist (Medicine Emphasis)
Simon is the doctor on board Serenity. He comes from a wealthy background and has had a privileged upbringing. He constantly disagrees with the captain’s decisions.
River (Simon's Sister; Psychic)- Suggested Class: Force Adept (high ranks in Far-Seeing & Telepathy)
Borderline psychic, River can read most minds and tends to speak not only what is on her own mind, but others' as well. The Alliance is eager to “recover” their genius.
Book (The Shepherd)- Suggested Class: ?
He is a priest, older and a little wiser than the rest of the crew. It is unclear if Book is on a mission to spread the word of God throughout the universe or on a personal “walk-a-bout.” He’s found God, but he still needs to find himself.
