River is a reader. Basically, that's Firefly-speak for telepath, except that they don't really outline how it works in the series. It's all sort of vague. She tends to just...know things, Layla Miller-style, and with just one glance she's able to glean anything from memories to motivations and thoughts. The good thing about this is that it isn't consistent, which means that if you as a player don't want River to be able to read your character's mind, that's totally fine, and can easily be chalked up to the fact that she can't yet quite control her power yet/doesn't use it as consciously as she does later in canon.

So, if you would please fill out this little form here, just so I can prevent infomodding, that would be lovely.

is river physically able to read your character's mind?:if the answer to this is "no" ( ie, supernatural creatures with mental blocks, etc, then disregard the rest of this
is there anything in your character's past that might trigger her?: triggers include medical experimentation, zombie-like weird creatures, needles, excessive violence or cruelty, dehumanization, talks of human weapons/military things, etc etc
is there anything you absolutely do not want brought up?:
is there anything you specifically want her to bring up?: for plotting purposes or negative cr ! i'm up for almost anything, let's talk.
