That's always a fun game if you have the players who will get it once it is revealed.

Mind you, Mal was destroyed by the battle of Serenity valley. (That's why I thought Humakti. He's seen so much death he has cut himself off.)
Interestingly, while this would work as rebels to the Lunar Empire, you could also do this crew in GodLearner times. They might even make more sense then, when they could be a ships crew easily enough.
Considering Mal has the whole "you are welcome on my boat. God isn't." attitude, he may not be anything but common magic.

Mysticism would work. Although if you are going with the "against the unified Empire/Alliance" idea, then Illuminated makes sense. She is also a crack shot and may well be telling the truth when she says she can kill you with her brain.
