Background
Born on Coruscant as the eldest daughter of a fairly well-known Republic politician. River grew up with her mother being overly controlling to the point where she became highly rebellious and would run off into the lower levels to evade her. Spending a good deal of time down there she learned how to survive and handle herself not just on her own but by working with some of the gangs. During her late teens she ran with a particular gang known as the Astral Phoenixes doing small time data running and slicing. Eventually though a crackdown on some of the gang activity forced her apart from the gang and she finally decided to get herself smuggled off-world.
Having been disillusioned with the Republic from all the suffering and crime she bore witness to she decided that she would use her newfound freedom in the galaxy to become the kind of person who would be able to help others who need it. With that goal in mind she eventually found her way onto a transport to Viscara looking for an opportunity to make her start as a freelancer.
RP Hooks
- Anyone with knowledge or history of Coruscant gangs may have heard of River as the “Blue Phoenix”. A kind of title she’s still kept with her to some extent.
- Those with a background or knowledge of the Republic political scene may know of River’s mother, Kathryn. They may even suspect River is her daughter, though Kathryn no longer acknowledges her as such.
- A check into River’s records with the Republic would list her as having a juvenile disciplinary record for gang activity, frequent runaways, and illegal information transfers. Though she doesn’t have any violent offenses.
- River is Force Sensitive though her connection is something she is largely aware of. It manifests strongest when she’s in a situation that puts her under pressure and requires the need to focus or react in order to ensure her survival. She sometimes gets certain unexplainable feelings around others that usually contribute towards if she thinks she can trust them or not.
