Sorry, but the parallels there are so gorram striking. What's odd is just how many similarities there are...

Anyway, for me, I strongly, strongly identify with Book; that's typically the wording I'd use whenever explaining why he was my favorite character. But, I identify more with his present-day persona.

No, I don't mean I'm dead.

I mean that I try much as I can to let my religion and faith guide my life, and inasmuch as I've been able to do that, it's made my life that much better, much fuller--even though I'm far from perfect, and I suspect I still have a lot of reckoning left to do. Plus that, most of my close friends may not share in my beliefs quite precisely, but that doesn't prevent me from settin' sail with them, so to speak.

Throughout the series, I found that Book was typically the one who acted the closest to how I would in any given situation--save for the ones where fighting was involved.

Oh, right, and Ron Glass is all manner of awesome. KF

Even though I'm a girl, I indentify most with Wash. I am always the comic relief in life. And (although I try really hard to make sure it doesn't happen) the comments will come at a time when, perhaps, is innapropriate. ( I can't help it!) After Wash, I though I would identify with Kaylee. I love being cheerful! Then Mal... can't think of any specific example I just have the feeling that I am.

Somedays It's not even worth chewing through the restraints...

I'm definitely a Wash...

"It's not an excuse, it's objective assessment, I can't help that it stays relevant" Wash "Heart of Gold"

...that's totally me lol

Plus if I was piloting a ship, I would totally cover my display with plastic dinosaurs lol.

you are right alot of girls like Sean Maher....hot Maher....

but i like the charactor of Simon... he is what i see as the perfect well semi perfect product of aliance teachings and yet he defies all that he is to prove a point and to protect River. He is akward and out of place but he belongs there in that inbetween.... thats why i relate most to him....

But he is a HOT MAHER

What a fantastic question!

I can see why a lot of people would identify with Simon (although he is a priss, ain't he?), I think his character grew up in a world most like our society now. Very few of us are actually smuggling cattle orny have a real danger of getting shot before breakfast. I often feel like my emotional responses would be similar to Simon's if I was suddenly forced into such a violent world. I like to see the change in him throughout the series.

However, I'd like to think that I would be able to ACT more like Zoe. I think in my real life my only real talent lies in identifying what needs to be done to get the job finsihed and immedietly committing to it and taking action.

But I've never had to shoot a man.

yet.

When you can't do that...we'll you know the rest.

Oh jeez. Probably Inara.

I love and deeply care for the people that make up my surrogate family but there is still the distance between us that I keep in order to protect myself. it keeps me from getting hurt by any of them, espically the one guy that I have a total Mal-Inara realationship with. And I have my Kaylee too, the rock that keeps me from drifting too far away.

Probably Wash/ Simon. I tend towards the easygoing spectrum, and you can always tell the gravity of a situation if I'm not cracking jokes. (Though I look considerably less dashing in Hawaiian shirts :)

Also identify alot with Simon, for his excellent taste in women if nothing else. I like his dedication to River, too. Being the oldest in my family, I totally get that he'd go to any length to keep his sister safe.

A little of Simon, especially this past week. For years I've been the good little faithful employee at my job, but this past week when they started to micromanage me, etc., I realized that I didn't have a problem questioning them and that there are other people I'd rather be loyal to. (And I love my sister very much, even though sometimes she makes me crazy.)

That being said, I'm a little of a Zoe/Wash combo, too, odd as that sounds. I'm fiercely loyal to those who I think have earned it, but every once in a while I just have to question what's going on around me. "Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?"

I WANT to be Wash and fly a spaceship! With dinosaurs on the dash.

And I want Mal to be my captain!

Howdy y'all. Just thought I'd add my two cents. I guess I mostly relate to Mal with a bit of Simon.

I understand how it feels to lose all faith at times and just not give a good gorram about anyone. Recently my mom and stepfather split after 15 years of marriage. I wasn't close to him, but seeing how badly my mother reacted to it and just remembering the break up of my original parents really kind of disheartened me. Since then, I've only had a few close friends whom I trust and I work to keep that relationship strong with them. Plus, I have a little sister who I am very protective of, and just like River, she makes me look like an 'idiot child' because she's a lot more mature about somethings than I am.

Anyways, just thought I'd send that out into the 'Verse. Keep flying y'all.

I relate to Inara the most.

Because I also struggle with the ever torturing emotions of harboring a deep love... for Captain Mal Reynolds.

Okay, yea, leave it to me to take a serious thread and ruin it. But seriously, I relate most to River. I think anyone can relate to the concept of being an outsider or not fitting in, during at least one point of their life.
