**GEAR**:

* Wash doesn’t normally carry a gun. He’s typically dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. His billfold contains an Alliance 5 credit note and his shirt pocket holds a pack of cinnamon flavored chewing gum.

**Traits**

* Born Behind the Wheel (Major Asset) - Wash’s reaction times are amazing when piloting a spaceship.

* Lightweight (Minor Complication) - Wash gets drunk easily, and succumbs to other assaults on his constitution more quickly than most.

* Sharp Sense (Minor Asset) - Keen eyesight is a great advantage when flying.

* Talented: Pilot (Minor Assset) - Wash took to flying like a duck to water (not that he ever got to see a duck on his home planet, but hey).

**Role Playing notes**

“Wash often tells those that care (and those that don’t) how he was raised on a planet that was so polluted he never saw the stars. Only black he saw came belching out of a smokestack. He says he turned space pilot for one reason and that was to breathe clean air. Given that space is a vacuum...

Well, Wash thinks it’s funny.

“He came to me with the reputation for being one of the best damn pilots in the ‘Verse and I will say for him that he has more than lived up to that high claim. Which is the main reason I overlook such things as his taste in wearin’ apparel, that tends to run to the garish and bright-colored, and his toys—namely dinosaurs—that have frequent rows on top of the control panel.

“Wash can fly anything that’s space worthy and more than a few things that ain’t. He can land this ship on a pocket handkerchief, should you care to set one down here on the bar. He can make Serenity give him more than she’ll give anyone else, ‘cept maybe me.

“Wash is a man I can count on to stay with the ship when Jayne and Zoe and me are out on a job. I know staying behind ain’t easy for him. I know he worries about his wife considerable.

“I also know that Wash’ll be where I need him to be when I need him to be there. And that’s not nothin’.”
