problematical
General Permissions
Threadjacking/threadhopping?: Absolutely!
4th-walling?: No thanks.
Backtagging: Hell yes.
Fighting/maiming?: River is advanced combat skilled but is only human. Plotting in advance for major bodily harm please.
Death?: Contact first.
Kissing/hugging/badtouching/etc?: She'll probably freak out, but sure.
Relationships: Unlikely.
KNOWLEDGE GAP: also known as "the problem with playing a genius level character". River has encyclopedic levels of knowledge on all manner of subjects from classical music to quantum physics -- and her player most certainly does not. While I can Google some things, please assume that any incorrect information is the fault of the player, not the character unless specifically noted as a mistake in the meta of the tag. If it's a subject you're informed on, I'd welcome a chance to edit if you want something more accurate but to 100% accurately research everything this girl knows would result in me never tagging ever. ;~;
Canon Permissions
River has canon abilities that are a little metagaming in an RP context so please take a moment to fill out this permissions comment! They deal with her being a Reader (psychic/empath) and that vein of abilities.
RIPPLES ON WATER
River is able to sense, for lack of a better term, people's auras. This includes their emotional state and demeanor, even if their outward expression and body language are hiding what they're really feeling. She states that "people say things all the time without speaking".
BLANKET OF STARS
In Serenity, River is brought along on a bank heist specifically for her Reader abilities, which prove useful as she is able to tell which hostage will go for a hidden gun before it happens, meaning that being a Reader may actually toe the line of precognition, augmented by intense observations and empathic "reads".
AN OPEN BOOK
In several episodes (but most particularly "Objects in Space") River deduces with astounding accuracy information based on very little input. For example from a single picture of the man's mother and dog and after listening to him over the ship's comms, she extrapolates that he was a sadistic child who killed the neighborhood pets and wanted a job where he was allowed to hurt people. Some of this crosses over into Reader territory.
For both Jonathan Walsh and Anton Roudin
Date: 2019-06-08 09:56 pm (UTC)Can River get a sense of what your character is feeling, even if they're trying to hide it?: Yes
If yes, are there any stipulations or scenarios I should be mindful of?: Nope
BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: Yes
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: Nope
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: Sure
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: Nope.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: Anton is an original character, so you'll only be able to pull from my app. Jonathan's an obscure character, but he is a canon character so you'll probably be able to find something on him outside of my app.

Date: 2019-06-08 10:24 pm (UTC)Can River get a sense of what your character is feeling, even if they're trying to hide it?: yes, absolutely.
If yes, are there any stipulations or scenarios I should be mindful of?: Hmmmm, no I don't think so.
BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: Sure, go ahead
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: HMM. There's a whole thing about it being impossible to accurately predict the actions of Guardians because their powers exist outside of causality but if she's reading his actual thoughts that's a different ball of wax, so sure. Blanket permission.
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: She sure can! Destinypedia's Cayde page is pretty alright, and I have reference posts in Cayde's blog that has some of Cayde's weirder/more obscure memories for handy reference.
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: Cayde knows things about the Clovis Bray corporation and the Deep Stone Crypt and something called "the Long Slow Whisper" that he took to his grave and Bungie hasn't elaborated upon yet. So River is free to pick up on him hiding terrible secrets that he's angry about, but the particulars will have to be vague until whenever Bungie decides to pick up that plot thread.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: I have pulled him from before his final death. Thanks to IC conversations he knows it's coming but he doesn't actually know the particulars.
Also: is Nathan Fillion.

BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: sure, why not
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: I can't think of anything offhand?
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: sure. he's post s2, pre-s3 right now.
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: I would appreciate a heads-up if she wants to pull anything really emotionally-prickly? like... parental death... slight torture... his canon's not always that kind to him?
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?:
gosh idk

Can River get a sense of what your character is feeling, even if they're trying to hide it?: Yes!
If yes, are there any stipulations or scenarios I should be mindful of?: None that come to mind. Nightfall is a psychic, but she is an open book to empathic reading. Both girls are good at hiding what they're feeling, but someone of River's capabilities would no doubt have no issues with either.
BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: Feel free.
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: If it would cause serious bodily harm to anyone involved, let's talk it out! Everything else should be safe.
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: Absolutely! If you want I can also show you parts of the apps that were edited out of public content.
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: If anything involving Ruby's experiences with sexual misconduct are ever on the plate, I'd really like to talk that out ahead of time. I'm purposefully playing her in a way so that that stuff doesn't come up in text, and is hinted at at most, and if it's going to stop being subtext at best for any reason I am going to need a heads up.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?:
I think everything else should be mentioned on their blogs somewhere!

Date: 2019-06-11 06:46 am (UTC)Can River get a sense of what your character is feeling, even if they're trying to hide it?: Yes.
If yes, are there any stipulations or scenarios I should be mindful of?: Ronan is almost too easy to read. He projects very strongly across those psychic airwaves.
BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: Yes.
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: No, he's pervasive.
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: Yes.
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: Use anything! It's all here.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: Ronan is alarming and unsettling to psychics and empaths. It's not that he intends harm, but that he's inherently harmful. Sort of like a bomb just waiting to be detonated. He's not supposed to exist here, but he does, and something should probably be done about that before it's too late and reality breaks beyond repair.

Date: 2019-06-18 02:56 am (UTC)Can River get a sense of what your character is feeling, even if they're trying to hide it?: Yes
If yes, are there any stipulations or scenarios I should be mindful of?: Nothing that will be covered under a blanket-thing, but I'll make sure to pitch something your way either in tag-narrative or elsewhere if there ever is anything in particular - although, perhaps we need to discuss their empathic-ish abilities and how they may interact?!
BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: Yes.
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: Again, I'll be sure to let you know during anything specific!
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: Yes, just let me know first, please!
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: I'll let you know, etc. (I'm v. pro OOC-communication for these sorts of things, if you can't tell haha!)
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: Diego's kinda cagey and rude AF sometimes, sorry about his mouth? lmfao
for luther hargreeves
Date: 2019-06-22 11:27 pm (UTC)Can River get a sense of what your character is feeling, even if they're trying to hide it?: Yesss. Luther is terrible at even guarding his facial expressions anyway, so reading his mind would probably be even easier for her.
If yes, are there any stipulations or scenarios I should be mindful of?: nah
BLANKET OF STARS:
Can River interpret from your character something they might do/are considering doing?: Yes!
If yes, are there any situations where this shouldn't happen?: Not that I can think of atm.
AN OPEN BOOK:
Can I pull information from wiki and/or your character's application for use in River's observations?: Yes! App here & bare-bones wiki page here (spoilers in the latter for the show, obv).
If yes, is there anything you don't want to be used?: For other players' OOC comfort I tend to steer clear of mentioning his romantic attachment to his adopted sister, is probably the main thing.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?: He comes from a rough canon with a history of being a child soldier with a side of experimentation/manipulation/endangerment/neglect, so just whatever you're comfortable dealing with!
