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’.”

+'''Traits'''
-"I am a leaf on the wind…"<br />―Wash
+*Born Behind the Wheel (Major Asset) - Wash’s reaction times are amazing when piloting a spaceship.
-Hoban "Wash" Washburne served as the pilot of Serenity, a transport ship captained by Malcolm Reynolds. He was married to the ship's first mate, Zoë Alleyne Washburne.
+*Lightweight (Minor Complication) - Wash gets drunk easily, and succumbs to other assaults on his constitution more quickly than most.
-'''Early life'''
+*Sharp Sense (Minor Asset) - Keen eyesight is a great advantage when flying.
-Raised on a planet with pollution so thick the stars were not visible, Wash became a pilot in part to see the sky beyond his home. Wash was second in his class. Mr. Universe, Wash's friend in flight school, was top of the class, since he hacked the records. In order to buy Wash's silence (and save himself from a threat of bodily injury at the hands of Wash), Mr. Universe offered Wash his services whenever they were needed.
+*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).
-'''After the war'''
+'''Role Playing notes'''
-Wash then traveled widely, visiting odd worlds where, for example, juggling goslings was the principal form of recreation. His skills as a pilot grew, and by the time Wash met Malcolm Reynolds, his reputation had grown to the point where he was actively courted by multiple captains in search of a good pilot (Mal tells Zoë that Wash has a list of recommendations "as long as [his] leg" when Zoë expresses her dislike of Wash). Wash accepted Mal's offer, and in the course of time, fell in love with and eventually married Reynolds' second-in-command, Zoë. This pairing was especially ironic, given that Zoë's first impression of Wash was one of immediate dislike and distrust. The two had a passionate and strong relationship, despite Wash's occasional concern over Zoë's strong personality and her tendency to assume the more aggressive, traditionally male role in the marriage, a concern compounded by Zoë's fierce loyalty and devotion to Mal. However, he does prove his loyalty when Saffron, a young woman posing as Mal's wife in order to take over the ship, attempted to seduce him by telling him the myth of the Earth-That-Was and how the stars joined it. He denied her, saying he had a "beautiful wife who can kill me with her pinky."
+“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...
-A laid-back guy with a dry and occasionally laconic sense of humor, Wash tended to represent the pragmatic, cut-and-run opinion in any shipboard debate, and often served as the calming influence in heated arguments. His actions sometimes appeared cowardly (or at least less than heroic), but Wash had proven his resolve and willingness to both put himself in harm's way and do violence on behalf of his friends on many occasions. His loyalty to his fellow crew was unshakable, as is shown when he insisted on rescuing Mal from the clutches of the crime lord Adelai Niska, despite clashing with Mal over Zoë earlier and having been severely tortured by Niska to the point of barely being able to stand.
+Well, Wash thinks it’s funny.
-As a pilot, Wash's flying style oscillated between near panic and a Zen-like calm. The attitude he conveyed seemed to be in inverse proportion to the degree of danger he believed he and the ship were in at any particular moment, acting the most calm when facing the greatest danger. His mantra, which he quietly recited during a highly stressful situation, was "I am a leaf on the wind; watch how I soar," although Wash apparently did not know what it meant.<br />Wash
+“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 kept a collection of toy dinosaurs in the ship's cockpit and played with them during lulls in the action.
+“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 died when a harpoon launched by a Reaver ship impaled him, killing him instantly. His shipmates erected a memorial to him on Mr. Universe's moon. River Tam took up his duties as pilot of Serenity (under the supervision of Reynolds); as a tribute to Wash the collection of toy dinosaurs remains on the pilot's station of the bridge.
+“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.
