Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds
- Cop
(loses Cop abilities and becomes Vigilante if Inara dies)
played by
Iammars
Role PM
You are
Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds
, captain of the Firefly-class ship
Serenity
. You lead your crew with an iron hand, but you temper that with a genuine sense of caring... qualities that make you an excellent captain! Because of your experience as a captain and your exceptionally sharp instincts, you have an uncany knack for reading people's true intentions.
Translation: you are a
Cop
. Choose one player each Night via PM, and you will receive an "innocent" or "guilty" result. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.
If Inara dies, send this text via PM the following Night
You crawl back to your bunk, still in shock. Inara is dead and you never took the time to show her your true feelings. It still doesn't seem quite real to you, but you've seen too many friends die in the war to let the grief overwhelm you. The war... it all comes back to the
gorram
war. Perhaps war is the only way to end this nightmare of death once and for all.
Translation: you are now a
Vigilante
instead of a
Cop
. Each Night (starting tonight) you may target one player to die. Send your choice via PM, and you will see the results of your action in the morning. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.

Hoban "Wash" Washburn
- Townie played by
Otaku376
Role PM
You are
Hoban "Wash" Washburn
, pilot of the Firefly-class ship
Serenity
. You're an incredibly skilled pilot, but as the cliche goes, "you're a lover, not a fighter" (as your wife Zoe can attest to). As such, you generally stay abouard the ship and avoid confrontation... although your keen wit and irrepressible sense of humor sometimes make that difficult at best.
Translation: you are a
Townie
with no special abilities. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(becomes full Vigilante if Wash dies, becomes one-shot Vigilante if Mal dies, Wash > Mal)
played by
armlx
Role PM
You are
Zoe Washburn
, second in command aboard the ship
Serenity
and wife of the ship's pilot, Wash. You are fiercely loyal to both Mal and Wash, but you generally do not act until ordered; discipline is in your blood, and you don't act rashly without good reason. You do keep your sawed-off shotgun handy, though... just in case.
Translation: you are a
Townie
with no special abilities. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.
If Mal dies, send this via PM the following Night
Your captain is dead. Mal... you two survivied so much together, and somehow you thought you could keep going forever. You should've known better. Time to take action.
Translation: you are now a
One-Shot Vigilante
. ONCE during the game you may target another player at Night (starting tonight) to die. Send your choice via PM, and you will see the results of your action in the morning. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.
If Wash dies, send this via PM the following Night
Your husband is dead. Wash... you two survived so much together, and somehow you thought you could keep going forever. You should've known better... time to take action.

Kaylee Frye
- Cop
(naive)
played by
EmpTyger
Role PM
You are
Kaylee Frye
, mechanic aboard the Firefly-class ship
Serenity
. You are perhaps the most beloved crew member, your infectious smile and shiny demeanor able to lighten even the darkest moods. You also know every nook and cranny of the ship... since the trouble started, you decided to take it upon yourself to "take a look around" and see if you can help your beloved crew out of their current jam.
Translation: you are a
Cop
. Choose one player each Night via PM, and you will receive an "innocent" or "guilty" result. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.

- Townie
(becomes Cop if Mal dies)
played by

Role PM
You are
Inara Serra

Translation: you are a
Townie
with no special abilities. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.
If Mal dies, send this via PM the following Night
Mal is dead, and you never took the time to show him how you truly feel. It would be far too easy to hide in your shuttle and weep, but perhaps it's time to stop standing by and start taking action. Your Companion training should make it easy for you to gain information and find those responsible for Mal's death.
Translation: you are now a
Cop
. Choose one player each Night (starting tonight) via PM, and you will receive an "innocent" or "guilty" result. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.

. Each Night you may target one player to die. Send your choice via PM, and you will see the results of your action in the morning. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.

- Mason (with Dr. Simon Tam) played by
~deathsquiggle~
Role PM
You are
River Tam
, a passenger aboard the Firefly-class ship
Serenity
. You were once the pinnacle of genius; particle physics, dance, language... it all came as naturally to you as breathing does to everyone else. That's until you decided to go to a "school" run by the government. You were rescued from a top-secret laboratory by your brother, Simon. They were performing experimental surgery on you... specifically, your brain. You're now highly unstable and hyper-emotional, but as long as Simon's around, you'll be fine...

played by
KingEnigma
Role PM
You are
Shepherd Book
, a missionary from the Southdown Abbey on Persephone and currently a passenger aboard the Firefly-class ship
Serenity
. You have something of a checkered past, with a knowledge of firearms and the criminal mind that is uncommon among preachers, to say the least. Aboard the ship, you've come to serve as the voice of reason amongst a group of shady characters, but somehow you've come to care for them deeply... you think of them as your "flock" now. You choose the path of peace, though.
Translation: you are a
Townie
with no special abilities. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.
If Simon dies, send this via PM the following Night
The good doctor is dead, and your flock is going to need your help if they're going to survive. It's time to explore that past of yours and become a man of action... perhaps you can protect those who cannot protect themselves. If faith can't solve the problem, perhaps fists can.
Translation: You are now a
Doctor
. Starting tonight, you may choose to protect one player each Night (not yourself). If that player is targeted by a Night kill attempt, you will use your hand-to-hand combat skills to fight off the attacker and save his life.

Badger
- Criminal Boss (may investigate one player each night to receive some tidbit of information about him) played by
the silent speaker
Role PM
You are
Badger
, a major player in the criminal underworld on Persephone. You are a lowborn fellow with a thick Cockney accent who has managed to work his way into being something of a "gentleman" by lying, cheating, and the occasional backstabbing... but you're a decent enough bloke to those who treat you (and your very fine hat) with the respect you've earned.
Translation: you are a
Criminal Boss

Nandi
- Prostitute (roleblocker) played by
Yosarian2
Role PM
You are
Nandi
, the madame and proprietor of the best (and only) whorehouse on a small desert planet in the middle of the most barren end of the galaxy. You were trained as a Companion once (and was a friend of Inara Serra, the Companion aboard
Serenity
), but you found the orderly and stifling ways of being a Companion too much to put up with. So you came out here, carved yourself out a business of your own, and employed the best girls the planet has to offer. It's a dangerous line of work, though... so you keep your collection of antique pistols cleaned and ready, just in case. No man's going to get the better of you... you hope.
Translation: you are a
Prostitute
. Each Night you may target another player and prevent that player from performing any action he may have attempted. You will not be notified of the success or failure of your attempt. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.

Tracey
- Townie played by
Thok
Role PM

, a former Browncoat who served under Mal Reynolds and Zoe. You survived the war, but somehow you could never get your life back on track afterward... you went from one get-rich-quick scheme to another, always looking for the easy buck. You're not a bad guy, though... just a little misguided.
Translation: you are a
Townie
with no special abilities. You win with the Town, when all the scum are dead.

Jubal Early
- Bounty Hunter (must target one player each night looking for River Tam.
If he finds her or she dies, he becomes a Blue Sun Mafia Goon. He doesn't know who the other Blue Sun Mafia Goons are until one of them dies, at which time he becomes a full-fledged Goon.

NanookTheWolf
Role PM
You are
Jubal Early
, a freelance bounty hunter. You have a code of conduct that you adhere to that allows you to pretend you're honorable, but in reality you're a sadist who enjoys the feeling of power and control you get from your line of work.
Right now you're on a job... the Blue Sun Group has hired you to find River Tam, a young lady of special significance to them. You've tracked her here, and as soon as you can bring her in... well, it should be smooth sailing from there on.

If River dies before you are able to capture her, your role will change in a different way... you'll have to wait and see!
You have no victory condition at the beginning of the game... this will change as the game goes on.
If River is captured, send the following via PM at the end of that Night
You have captured River Tam... congratulations! You are well rewarded monetarily: you now may purchase
one
of the following abilities of your choice: a single Day kill (which will end the Day), the ability to protect yourself from Night kills (may be used twice), or the revelation of one player's role and allegiance.

and

Well, River Tam is dead... so much for that payoff. The Blue Sun Group is pleased with your efforts, although not with your results. They have made it clear to you that if they go down, you go down with them. Yikes.
Translation: you are now a
Blue Sun Mafia Goon
, although you do not know who your fellow Blue Sun members are... yet. You win when the Blue Sun Mafia controls at least half of the vote during a Day. CHANGE THIS IF AN OPERATIVE IS DEAD.
