He totally preaches, right at the end of the first movie! He's all on the payphone and stuff!

[Omnie]

But, to the bad guys! That's so him threatening the bad guys, telling them what's going to happen and what he's going to do. He's not really trying to convince them of anything much. Anyway, that vs. "Zion, HEAR ME!"? Morpheus would so take Neo in a preach-off.

Although I'll grant you his priest outfit.

Are we basing it off of Serenity or Firefly? Or both?

Yeah, I'm not sure this works with Firefly, because you only really have that core group of characters to play with, and it's hard and stretchy to force them into these categories. Maybe if the show had gone on longer, given us more auxiliary people to work with.

Ok, how about this?

Kid: Connor
Killer: Illyria
Sheriff: Holtz, perhaps? He was twisted and insane, but still. So was Mcpherson, after all.
Preacher: Cordelia (I know how weird that sounds, but, y'know, she did like to lecture people, and she had that saintly thing going on for a while.)
Drunk: Wesley
Half-Breed: Angel
Gambler: Gunn (what with the upgrades and betting on the goodwill of Wolfram and Hart, and even on Angel in the first place)
Banker: ?

I almost want to switch the places of Angel: Killer and Illyria: Half-Breed. Hmm.

Kid: Kaylee
Killer: Jane and/or Zoe
Sheriff: Mal
Preacher: Book
Drunk: Walsh
Half-Breed: River
Gambler: Simon

[SuperJerms]

My reasoning on Kaylee for the drunk is that her character was cast as one who enjoys life without inhibitions. In the DVD features, the actress mentioned that she had to gain 20 lbs for the role. Bethling's avatar is a screeny of her enjoying food on what appears to be a spiritual level. She is the high-on-life character.

Half-breed is sorta tough, but we actually know who River's parents are. Lots of folks could end up as the half breed, but not really river or simon. I heard somewhere that Zoe was born on a ship, but we have little of her past and she has no real home (perhaps everyone else was born on Earth-that-was?).

One other thing is that River is the youngest and for most of the story has been the one needing protection. She has an innocence to her, which is what is supposed to make it so bad what all the Alliance did to her.

(scent, sent)

[catherwood]

for Firefly, i'd peg Jayne as the Gambler.

[colin]

I'd call Mal all the above. He pretty much covers them all in one or another (because he's )
