[[File:Firefly_Mal_7870.jpg|frame]]
[[The Captain|Captain Reynolds]] is a [[La Résistance|Browncoat]]--a veteran of the stellar civil war that precedes the events of the series by six years. He fought under the rank of Sergeant for [[The Alliance|the Independents]], the side that lost to [[The Empire|the Alliance]]. He has been left [[Shell Shocked Senior|bitter]] by the Independents' loss; [[Despair Event Horizon|he never quite recovered]] from seeing his ideals crumble around him. Ever since, he has been eking out a living on the wrong side of the law, at the helm of the Firefly-class ship ''Serenity'', defiantly named after the valley where the Alliance's victory was sealed.
Line 15:
** The Alliance in general acts as his, to the point that he'll deck you if you accuse him of being in league with them.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Towards Kaylee, their relationship is pretty much summed up in the movie;
{{quote|'''Kaylee''': Goin' on a year now, I ain't had nothing twixt my nethers weren't [[A Date with Rosie Palms|run on batteries!]]
'''Mal''': Oh GOD! [[Too Much Information|I can't]] ''[[Brain Bleach|know that]]''! }}
** On a good day, he has a bit of this towards Simon as well. Only on a good day though.
Line 72:
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: At the end of "Our Mrs Reynolds", and the beginning of "Trash." Hard to feel sorry for the one receiving the fist, though.
▲== '''Zoe Alleyne Washburne (Gina Torres)''' ==
[[File:Firefly_Zoe_3001.jpg|frame]]
Zoe is also a Browncoat. She was [[The Lancer|a corporal serving under Mal]] during the war against the Alliance. [[Platonic Life Partners|She even now accompanies him]] on ''Serenity'' and still calls him "sir", 15 years later. [[Happily Married|She is married to]] Wash; the [[Plucky Comic Relief|wacky]] pilot of the ship.
Line 107 ⟶ 106:
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Parodied -- there is just about no lust and even less romantic chemistry between her and Mal, but her husband fears what their long history might mean for such a relationship. They disprove this notion in an almost-kiss that is so damn awkward even Jayne is unsettled.
===
[[File:Firefly_Wash_9245.jpg|frame]]
Wash is [[Badass Driver|the pilot]] of Serenity. Most of the time he is [[Plucky Comic Relief|wacky, playful, excitable, and a bit on the immature side]], though when he needs to be, [[Danger Deadpan|there is no one more focused, calm, and collected]] on the crew. He's a whiz at the controls of a vehicle, and has saved the lives of the rest of the crew many a time.
Line 138 ⟶ 137:
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: A variant, in that Wash ''himself'' seems surprised that [[Ridiculously Average Guy|a guy like him]] could manage to marry someone like Zoe.
===
[[File:Firefly_Inara_9385.jpg|frame]]
Not really a member of the crew, Inara rents a shuttle for her... services. Despite (or maybe because of) [[The Oldest Profession|her profession]], she is well-versed in the ways of the universe ([[Captain Obvious|and sex]]) and continually shows [[Hidden Depths]]--who'd expect a space whore to be good at [[Sword Fight
* [[Ambadassador]]: Not [[Badass]] to the degree of the rest of the crew, but she has no qualms with holding people at gunpoint and holds her own in hand-to-hand combat.
Line 166 ⟶ 165:
* [[Tsundere]]: Type B. She is unflappably courteous and kind to everyone she meets...except Mal.
===
[[File:Firefly_Kaylee_5680.jpg|frame]]
Kaylee is the ship's [[Wrench Wench|mechanic]]. She's [[The Pollyana|perky and cheerful more often than not]], always optimistic, and innocent--though she does enjoy the simpler pleasures in life. She's the most laid-back and friendly person on the ship at any given time (if you insult the ship itself, though...). She's probably the worst in a fight among the crew, but she's extremely adept at keeping the ship in working order, and seemingly has a spiritual link to it.
Line 200 ⟶ 199:
* [[Wrench Wench]]
===
[[File:Firefly_Simon_7409.jpg|frame]]
Simon is [[The Medic|the doctor]] aboard ''Serenity''. [[The Smart Guy|He's an extremely gifted surgeon and a cunning planner]], even though he's [[Adorkable|socially awkward and not exactly streetsmart]]. [[Big Brother Instinct|He cares for his sister River more than anyone or anything else in the world]], and [[Determinator|he is willing to go to extreme lengths]] for her well-being.
Line 260 ⟶ 259:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Kaylee. He is shy about this sort of thing and he is busy taking care of his ''Mei-Mei''. {{spoiler|They do at the end of the [[Big Damn Movie]]}}.
===
[[File:Firefly_River_35.jpg|frame]]
River is the aforementioned precious cargo, and Simon's little sister. She's [[Ax Crazy|stone]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|cold]] [[Psychopathic Manchild|crazy]]. [[Playing with Syringes|With]] [[Super Soldier|good]] [[Psychic Powers|reason]], [[Mind Rape|though]], and she [[Character Development|gets a bit better]]. She's also a [[The Prodigy|prodigy]] [[Gratuitous French|par excellence]], taking to difficult subjects with ease (considering university-level physics to be a "challenge" when she was fourteen, for example). She's enough of an asset to the crew at critical times that it makes up for being [[The Load]] when she's freaking out.
Line 347 ⟶ 346:
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Against {{spoiler|the Reavers}} in ''[[Serenity]]''.
===
[[File:Firefly_Book_437.jpg|frame]]
[[The Verse]]'s equivalent of a Christian priest, Book also wandered onto ''Serenity'' in the pilot, just wanting to [[Walking the Earth|walk the 'verse]] a while. Later he wonders if he's on the wrong ship, but then again, he does [[Hidden Depths|seem to know]] [[Badass Grandpa|a lot of things]] that one doesn't find in [[The Bible]].
*
* [[The Atoner]]: It is implied very strongly that his [[Dark and Troubled Past]] was rather sinister and that that was the reason he became a [[Good Shepherd]].
* [[Badass Preacher]]
Line 377 ⟶ 376:
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Though [[The Bible]] is [[Rules Lawyer|somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.]]
===
[[File:Firefly_Jayne_5096.jpg|frame]]
Jayne is a thuggish, misogynistic, crude [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]. He's not one to leave the back turned near, as he's a bit power-hungry and greedy. What he lacks in delicacy and loyalty, though, he makes up for in strength, size, and fighting prowess.
Line 414 ⟶ 413:
* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: Upon learning that Inara will be servicing a female client on board her shuttle, he has only this to say:
{{quote|'''Jayne:''' [[Catch Phrase|I'll be in my bunk.]]}}
* [[I Call It "Vera"]]: [[Trope Namer]]!
* [[I'll Be in My Bunk]]: Also the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[It's All About Me]]: Jayne thinks mostly about himself, and is always happy to take the easy way out. Though he does care about his family and the crew, to some extent.
Line 428 ⟶ 427:
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: And he's quite aware that he's not a great guy.
===And the whole crew are, of course:===
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]
* [[Quote Overdosed]]: Everyone has their moments. ''
* [[True Companions]]. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Especially Inara.]]
==
== '''Jubal Early (Richard Brooks)''' ==▼
Shows up in the final episode, "Objects In Space." When we first meet him, he proves to be [[Badass|more than a match for Mal and company]], but it isn't long before [[Psycho for Hire|his true colors become apparent]].
Line 461 ⟶ 459:
* [[Warrior Poet]]: In a weird sort of way.
===
One of the few recurring villains (they likely intended more, but dying off after one season does mess up plans a bit) of the show, Saffron is a con woman who specializes in seduction. Introduced in (and as) 'Our Mrs Reynolds'.
Line 479 ⟶ 476:
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: Easily construable as Inara's [[Foil]] and [[Evil Counterpart|opposite]].
===
A crime lord introduced in the second pilot, "The Train Job." Very concerned about reputations, especially his own. He is the second recurring villain of the show.
Line 496 ⟶ 492:
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: People who disappoint Niska tend to be tortured to death multiple times.
===
Mysterious duo in search of River, whom she refers to as "two by two, hands of blue."
Line 512 ⟶ 507:
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]
===
Primary villain in ''[[Serenity]]''. A special agent/assassin of Parliament, sent out to keep government secrets and take care of loose ends. While he technically represents their interests, they are never seen, making him more-or-less the [[Dragon-in-Chief]].
Line 545 ⟶ 539:
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: [[Knight Templar|If he has to.]]
===
The Academy technician in charge of taking care of River. He is noticeable for an odd encounter with a certain spoiled rich kid who had curious questions about his baby sister. Vaguely related to this was an investigation by a government agent who gave him lessons about the customs of "certain older, ''civilized'' cultures".
Line 562 ⟶ 555:
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Why the Operative kills him.
===
The Reavers are a band of roving murderous, feral thugs who terrorize everything and everyone they come across. They are infamous for being [[I'm a Humanitarian|cannibals]], [[Body Horror|self-mutilation enthusiasts, everyone-else-mutilation enthusiasts]], and rapists of both [[Mind Rape|mind]] and [[Rape as Drama|body]]. {{spoiler|They are the survivors of an Alliance experiment to make a planet's population more manageable by using powerful psychotropic drugs on them. This made 99.9% of them [[Gone Horribly Right|catastrophically docile]], and they just [[Death by Despair|laid down and died en masse]]. The remaining 0.1%, however took to the drug just a bit ''[[Gone Horribly Wrong|differently]]'' and became the base savages known as Reavers}}.
Line 585 ⟶ 577:
and let's not forget ...
==
The ship. Including the bits that fall off.
Line 602 ⟶ 593:
* [[What a Piece of Junk!]]: Serenity may not look like much, but according to Kaylee, "she'll fool ya."
