Captian Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds- (Played by Nathan Fillion) the transport ship's captain. He is a witty, nihilistic and angry man who opposed the unification of the planets to no avail. In addition to commanding the "Serenity" for legitimate transport runs, he apparently engages is under-the-table entrepreneurial endeavors. So he's not above smuggling and stealing. He trusts practically no one.
Zoe- Served with Mal during the war and is very loyal to him.
Walsh- (Played by Alan Tudyk)- Ship's pilot and Zoe's husband. He is unassuming, self-deprecating and not at all the fiery hero type. He is apparently the calm one with a sense of humor.
Kaylee- (Played by Jewel Staite) The ship's engineer.
Inara- Nicknamed "The Ambassador" by the crew she has her own space on the ship because she's basically a prostitute in a time when it's perfectly legal on most planets. She only works for only high class and decent clientele and is working towards retirement.
Jayne- (Played By Adam Baldwin) He is a mercenary. Big, tough, unpleasant and untrustworthy.
Simon- The ship's doctor. He comes from a wealthy background and has had a privileged upbringing. He constantly disagrees with the captian and is always on the opposite point of view from him.
River- Borderline psychic. She can read most minds and has a tendency to speak not only what is on her own mind, but others' as well.
Book- Older and a little wiser than the rest of the crew and is a priest. He hopes is to spread the word of God throughout the universe.

This was the 2nd oldest post in this subforum, before this reply.
I've never seen it before.
The description for River here, predating her casting announcement, leaves little doubt about it.
There was much discussion and apparent confusion on this site about her abilities. But the answer had already been posted here.
