CHARACTER:
Jayne Cobb - What Jayne lacks in brain-power, he certainly makes up for in muscle power, this ships bad-boy has a brilliant sense ofhumour but is not to be trusted. He does what he does for the money and nothing else, so if a better offer comes along, well, I think Jayne said it best "That'll be an interesting day...".
THE SERIES:
Five hundred years in the future, there is a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flash-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

GENERAL FACTS AND STUFF THAT DOESNT FIT ANYWHERE ELSE:
