Who Are You in the FF 'Verse?

Just one of those random thoughts that's been kicking around in my brainpan for a couple days now for some reason, and figured I'd post this here. Think it might be interesting to see what people come up with.
Here's the question: Let's say if (WHEN!) they bring Firefly back, you were given the opportunity to write yourself into one (or many) of the new episodes as either a walk-on part, recurring character, cameo, etc... A brand-new character, that is. Not one of the existing ones. (Though, what the frell, it's not like I could stop you if you really wanted to be Mal, either. Though in that case, you'd have to find a new job for Nathan Fillion :)
So, what sort of character would you be? A captain of another ship? A space pirate, reaver, alliance symphathizer, another wandering Shephard with a troubled past? Would you come into contact with the crew of Serenity and how? I don't really have anything terribly specific in mind, just thought it might be an interesting idea, and the more I thought if this the more I realized I really have no idea how I'd fit in there.
Silly, maybe. But... I'm in a mood

I would be a reaccuring character with (drum roll please) a troubled past. The character would somehow be connected with River, and she would be able to hold her own. I would have to say she is a lone wolf much like Mal, but deep down inside she longs for the company of fellow human beings. I say the Serenity ship would be perfect for her. I would go into much more character detail but it's almost 7:00 A.M. where I live and my brain is fried. See...I'm even writing run on sentences. :D
I've thought about writing this character in a fan fic, I just never get around to it.

nukie, darlin'! This is heresy of the first order. I can hear the Heavens rumble and feel the ground quaking. Oh, but this is Caliornia and the rainy season has been extended.
There is no Mal but Nathan. None. Ever.
Dong ma?
Not that we don't want to find more jobs for him during this unfortunate hiatus in the Great Oeuvre.....
I was going to put in for Eavesdown Docks chicken-seller, but we may need a nanny to protect The Tender Lashy One from character-jacking.

Hear, Hear, Bun!!!
Nuclearday... you be treading on dangerous ground around here mentioning even the possibility of not having Nathan be Mal. Who else could possibly have the lashes! No one I say!!!
Bun, I'm right there with you.
I can envision a story in the verse that requires that the Captain will need some R and R and I can be on the planet they go to for that, thank you very much.
Bun, come join us at the Appreciatin' Nathan thread sometime.. we'd love to have your insight into Nathan's lashyness.

I would be a Firefly 'Verse version of Bruce Campbell's character "King of Thieves" from Hercules and Xena- stealing from Mal and Badger, and giving to, well, myself.
'Till Mal catches me. Won't kill me though 'cause I got a heart of gold (and the Lassiter, heh heh ).
My name would be Grimy Harry Thebes.
I am...Chrisisall

I'd like to be a reccurring character, maybe an Academy "Grad", somehow having escaped after the Operative killed Dr. Matthias. Then He found his way to Serenity, and is now working towards Crewmanship whilst going upon many a misadventure dodging what's left of the alliance, the Reavers, and the too many people we have to avoid on Persephone.
If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?
Politely.

FM, I knew somehow that word of this would get out and we'd cluster 'round to protect His Lashyness.
I've been to the OB v.2 and posted in the Happy Birthday thread. It shot me a Warning under my name on the post. So too embarrassing. Blush. No idea what I did. Nothing but "Happy Birthday" in little Comic Sans MS letters and a couple of happy-faces, reduced from several after it told me I'd overdone the 'moties.
Mighty busy here, welcoming new 'coats to our part of the 'Verse. Mighty slow computer to do it on. Heh.
I'd like to have my version of Mr. Universe's CommPlex, with an array of fast machines, each signed onto one of my favorite spots on the Cortex, and a wheeled chair upon which to scoot along from keyboard to keyboard.
Can't Stop the Signal -- sure can retard it a little.
Mal has had those lashes since he was a boy on Shadow. I remember his Ma sayin' he was as lashy as a cow.

If I were written into an episode, I would appear in a bar where mal and the crew were about to work a deal. It would go bad, of course, and I would have to save mal from being shot in the back, or something. Then of course we would all run back to Serenity where Wash(he's still alive in this fantasy) would make witty one liners to which I would make witty replies. The captain is of course drawn to me in a way he cannot define...I see a re-occuring character. Maybe I was once an alliance assassin now working against them. Not like I've thought about it or anything....

I"d probably be the occasionally appearing first mate of a friend, probably Monty. A nice Zoe type, full of piss and vinegar, but under a veneer of stoic wit. Also super kick ass.
