Well this is a fun thread! I think I would like to show up on the show as a companion, from House Madrassa, maybe? Shed some light on Inara's mystery? Any kind of part where I get to dress up is just fine with me! Of course, I think it would be interesting to see other parts of Simon and River's family, maybe a cousin? I know the show takes place on the Rim, but the Alliance is moving out every day. Seeing more of the Core and it's influence on the Rim would be interesting.

Well, for a while now I've been thinking of a fanfic idea with a sort of neopagan version of a Shepherd. Not called a Shepherd, of course. The name I've given them is Walker.
This is the idea I have so far. Like I said, they're basically like Shepherds, only Pagan, or Wiccan, or something like that. Anyway, a Walker can only be trained by another Walker, and as the name implies they travel from place to place. A lot of the border planets are afraid of them, and have even been known to kill them, but the Walkers are obliged to go wherever they are needed, even if their presence won't be welcomed.
Walkers aren't welcomed on the Core planets either. Officially, the Alliance dissaproves of them, because Walkers are an independent, free spirited bunch who are willing to break laws they consider morally wrong. They also travel under assumed names - once a Walker is trained, he or she takes a new first name, and their second name becomes Walker.
Unoffically, the Alliance are terrified of the vast store of knowledge that the Walkers have about Earth-That-Was, knowledge that includes the true story of the flight from Earth. Which I won't say here, since I plan to write that fic. Some day!
Walkers are collectors of knowledge and wisdom. They see it as their sacred duty to preseve as much of the history, culture and science of Earth-That-Was as they possibly can. They also seek knowledge from other worlds, roaming both the core planets and the border moons for snippits of knowledge others consider a waste of time - a fairly tale, a collection of folk music, superstitions, a local herb that cures an upset stomach...
To minimise the danger to themselves and their hard-won store of knowledge, the Walkers live a solitary life. They travel in ones and twos, and meet each other very rarely. And I'm just realising as I type that I've gone waaay off the point here. Okay, short answer. I'd be a Walker! That way I could always bump into the crew during all kinds of messy situations. A recurring role! Yay!

This is an interesting conversation. So many enemies and people want to be like River.
Maybe I'd like to be a character who would always be there, just there and come into a problem when ever they need assistance or back up.
How do you pronounce Summer's second name, i dont seem to get it right.
Why am i asking, this is a forum.........oh well...
Greatz!

I'd be a loner with his own ship, the Peregrine. It would be highly customized with all the latest technologies, fastest ship in the 'verse. I'd run into the crew of Serenity when we're both working on the same job, a heist of a very high-tech Alliance facilty, because of my proficiency in technology. During my collaboration with Kaylee we would get caught up in the moment and make passionate love to eachother. After the heist I would depart from Serenity, promising Kaylee that she would see me again, someday.

I'd be someone who grew up on an alliance planet, therefore not so tough in the shooting people style, but with my own qualities.
If I ever got on board Kaylee and Wash (yup, he's alive in this one too) would be the only ones who actually liked me. I'd be the ships Voice of Reason.
I'd be there to spur Mal onto going and actually talking to Inara. Hell i'd be stood in the background of a stalled conversation yelling 'Hell just kiss her and be done with it!'
I'd help out in engineering and the infirmary and cook and do other useful stuff around the ship, but mostly I'd be there to stop all this stoic non-comunicating that goes on in fiction. I'd be able to talk books and music with Simon, keep River company so Kaylee would get some time alone with Simon, and I'd also be a spare person to sit with Wash in the bridge while everyone else was off doing other stuff. Maybe i'd knit. For fun i'd stare at Jayne while he was working out (both to unnerve him for my own amusement and well, for obvious reasons)
As you wouldn't need me all the time I'd disappear off for the odd visit, and come back when i'd found some fun and interesting crime for the crew to do. (Or when Mal and Inare needed their heads knocking together again)

I would be a guest star. Perhaps a passenger that signed on for a short trip out to the rim after being laid off from my job at a Blue Sun assembly plant. Unbeknowst to me I'm being chased by anonymous corporate goons (perhaps Blue Hand second stringers) because on my last day of work I left with the wrong tool box; a box containing something Blue Sun wants back very badly. And at some point in the show I'd get into an argument with Mal because even though I was against the war I can't understand why the Independents were opposed to unification.

This one came to me as I was reading all of these interesting threads.
I would like to be an ex-independant high ranking intelligence officer (what a mouthful) who now runs the underground that broke River out. Kind of a tired, hasseled, tactician persona. Always two steps ahead of the alliance and throwing barbs at them as I go. I am hasseled because my plans often require special equipment, men or lots of money that I don't have (enter Dr. Tam). I would be a recurring character, but only rarely to help reveal major plot points about the alliance, or river, or Book. Oh, yeah, and Mal HATES me, almost as much as the alliance, as it was my decision to abandon the troops in Serenity Valley. I had my reasons though...

I would be a re-occuring character or a new one altogether. My character's name would be Liara Hawke. My pa was a Browncoat who fought with Mal or knew him a little anyway. My brother went to flight school where our own dear wash went, a couple years after Wash had been there, and his stories of Wash's flying made me join up too. But I would get a job on Serenity as the cook. See I'm running from these men who are slavers and have had me as a slave for two years. All kinds of bad happened in that span of time. My father and my older brother Jensen both died in the War so I had been on my own since. Mal takes me on because he remembers my father, though I don't know this right away. So while I'm out on the rim with the crew I earn my keep as galley cook while trying to keep my secret that I was a slave and that they are looking for me, dodging Reavers, bein bad guys and just aimin' to misbehave. My character would also have a secret crush on Mal and be annoyed to no end by Jayne. (Which could turn into something interesting later on.) This character comes from my fanfic that I am working on.

I don't think anyone else has had this yet, but I would be one of those "bridge bunnies" on the big Alliance cruisers, one with a warm heart and a kind streak. I'm almost thinking along the lines of the female Alliance member in Train Job, the one who suggests sending the Fed platoon in to help the locals track the medicine.
The plot could involve Mal and co. getting into trouble with the Feds and being taken aboard ala Bushwacked. During the course of the episode, I get to talk to Mal and other members of the crew and are convinced of the rightness of... of... whatever they're doing (smuggling medicine, perhaps). Mal and co. escape under their own power and get back to Serenity only to find it attached firmly to the cruiser hull... then suddenly they are released and are able to escape. The next scene would be me being chewed out by my superior for "accidentally" releasing the drive hoosiwatsnow and letting the prisoners escape.
I often think it would be nice if Mal could meet some "nice" Feds. I think the script for Dead or Alive had that potential.

I think I'd want to be a companion .Maybe another friend of Inara's.Her freedom ,education and respect intrigue me very much. And there would definately be some Fallling hard for Captian Tightpants.
