----
Line 7:
Two of the mysterious Hands of Blue teams. Armand and Domali were dispatched to recapture River when {{spoiler|Niska attempted to collect the bounty on her.}} Quinn and Eisen appear later in "Hunt," where they are hunting River and {{spoiler|Inducer One-One-Nine}}.
 
* [[Anti -Magic]]: as Blanks, they are immune to psychic effects. River can't predict what they're going to do or read their minds, while Inducers can't influence them.
* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Last -Name Basis]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: thanks to their [[Powered Armor]].
* [[Mage Killer]]: Specialists in hunting down psychics, due to being Blanks.
Line 21:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Good -Looking Privates]]
* [[Girl of the Week]]: For Jayne, at least.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Her name appears to be a reference to [[Mass Effect|Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams]].
* [[The Unfavorite]]: None of the other Fryes will talk to her, presumably because she supported unification.
 
Line 35:
* [[Not So Different]]: Mal accuses him of being no different from {{spoiler|the Alliance when he says he wants to use River as a weapon.}}
* [[The Remnant]]
* {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me...]]}}: "Nemo" {{spoiler|executes him because he alienated Mal from the Browncoat cause.}}
 
== '''The Operative''' ==
Line 51:
 
== '''Shin Yan Dumant''' ==
Prominent art and artifact dealer on the colony of Silverhold. {{spoiler|Also head of an enhanced organ smuggling operation, and grows organs in the bodies of lobotomized human slaves.}}
 
* [[Affably Evil]]
Line 59:
 
== '''John Garis, aka "Echo," aka Blank One-One-Seven''' ==
An agent of the Academy, and a Blank - [[Anti -Magic|a person who is immune to psychic effects]]. Was assigned to River as an "emotional anchor" during her time at the Academy to prevent her from committing suicide, and has been dispatched to find and bring her back.
 
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Badass]]: Drops {{spoiler|Jubal Early}} in a single second.
* [[Living Emotional Crutch]]: For River.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: All indications are that he really ''does'' care about River, and may even love her.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: From his description, he has very pale hair.
 
== '''Inducer One-One-Nine, aka {{spoiler|Kathryn Wade}}''' ==
Line 74:
* [[Emotion Bomb]]: Her primary weapon.
* {{spoiler|[[Enfante Terrible]]}}: Deconstructed; as {{spoiler|a child}}, she has extremely poor impulse control, driving her to kill perceived threats or people who she hates without thinking about the consequences.
* [[Expy]]: Of {{spoiler|[[FEARF.E.A.R.|Alma Wade]].}} Its even there in her ''name.''
* [[Foil]]: To River.
* [[The Nondescript]]: Has the ability to make people literally not notice her at all, either by distracting them or by simply making herself appear unnoticable.
Line 81:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Making Pherson shoot Mal and then mindraping River into helping her escape certainly counts.}}
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When {{spoiler|River}} fights back against her, she becomes much more violent and hysterical. She goes to extremes when {{spoiler|River compares her to the doctors at the Academy.}}
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Claims to be one of these, at least.
 
== '''The Six Rifles''' ==
Line 88:
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Konstantin really does care about the rest of the Six, which results in him getting epically pissed when Jayne starts killing them. This attitude seems to have faded by the present, where getting revenge on Jayne has consumed him completely and he no longer cares about his men.
* [[Badass Crew]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Jayne is the Cossack's, and doubly so when Jayne deliberately taunts him about his missing arm and leg.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: The Mongol is mostly kept around by Konstantin because he's an expert with electronics, despite the fact that he's apparently a complete psycho.
* [[Determinator]]/[[Made of Iron]]: The Frenchman. Caught in ''two'' explosions, set on fire, and dropped into a collapsing dam, and he's still kicking.
* [[Dwindling Party]]: Jayne keeps killing the Six one by one in the flashback, usually through high explosives and cleverness. The chapter titles lampshade this, keeping track of how many of the Six are still present. {{spoiler|The Brit}} was killed by being set on fire and shot repeatedly, and {{spoiler|the Syrian}} was killed by mining explosives.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Konstantin does not condone torture, and he's not a fan of collateral damage. The American also seems to hate being contracted to kill teenagers, to the point where he is {{spoiler|deliberately missing Jayne and trying to keep the rest of the Six from killing him.}}
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: All of the Six are known by their nationalities/ethnicities, and only three of them have known names. None of the Six know the Mongol's name.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: The American is a pretty friendly guy (except to the Mongol) who seems to be affected by all the killing he's had to do.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]
** "The Cossack" (aka Alexi Konstantin) is Sanguine
** Both "the American" (aka Andy) and "the Brit" are Choleric
Line 108:
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Everyone except Konstantin is apparently dead by the time he shows up get revenge. Four of them appear to have been killed against Jayne the first time, and the Mongol was killed in the Third Interlude.
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: The Brit.
* [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]]: The American ''hates'' the Mongol.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: The Brit and the Frenchman.
* [[Torture Technician]]: The Mongol, though Konstantin does not let him "indulge."
