So.. 

I'm just speculating, but would it be okay to have a reader?

Yes, however as I put in initial recruitment opening post.   River i.e reader types I liked to have your concept and take on the character.   Your background,  does the alliance know of you?  If so,  did you escape.  And why they had you is the reason your a reader because of them, did they cut on your brain, administer drugs or such.    Or been trying to stay one step ahead of the alliance.   Or have you with luck manage to not get on the radar of the alliance.   Those type of things.   For it changes the dynamic of the ship and complications that might be down the road.  For complications with alliance is just not them.   Browncoats still fighting now in more guerilla warfare terrorist acts, having a reader be a major asset.   Or a mining corporation,  a crime syndicate.

Does this cover it, ESG?: 


   I'm working on the idea of Tandy--a street smart parkour girl.  Growing up in the Alliance--on a highly developed planet in a big city, she had to use a combination of quick body, quicker wits, flirty charm, and a healthy contempt for authority to survive.  It's not that she was alone, but her family were poor and it was a tough part of town. 
   Tandy is an unorthodox fighter with a knack forgetting into places she doesn't belong--whether that's over walls, onto roofs, or into locked places of business.  She's also a smooth talker, good at gathering information, talking in and out of trouble, and just haggling. 
   This last ability is made a lot more effective by the fact that she has an uncanny ability to know what people are feeling--or even thinking!  It's a gift she's always had, but learned at an early age to keep quite about because it made people nervous.  Later on, she learned to take advantage of it. 
   Trouble is, with the Alliance military looking for people with special gifts to "recruit," they eventually got wind of her abilities.  When she was a junior in high school, a young woman from the government came to her school to do some "aptitude tests".  She made nice with Tandy.  She was really sexy and just the right amount of flirty.  It put Tandy off guard and she didn't try hard enough to hide her knack.  Next thing she knew, the military was coming in to forcibly recruit her.  Tandy got wind of what was coming just in time to high tail it to the space port and make for the outer worlds. This was where she met Jigs.  Tandy fell hard for jigs, developing a huge crush and an even bigger case of hero worship almost overnight. 
   What Tandy is not good at is most of the things that you need to be a ship's crew member.  She has pretty much zero technical expertise, can't fly a ship, and has only basic skill with ground craft. 

A few questions: 
I want to play up the kid sister angle with Tandy.  Will it bother anyone if she's 17? 

ESG, do you want to bring in some non con elements?  I figure Tandy is bisexual kind of lusty, but has managed to focus her attention on girl's so far.  If you want to play up non con a little, I'll emphasize that she's afraid a boy will get her pregnant and has submissive tendencies with men that she's not comfortable with.

Name:      Tanada "Tandy" Jaziri
Age:      17 (?)
Build:      Hard, supple body, but with big breasts, round hips, and silky skin.   
Height:      5'1"
Weight:      101lbs

Appearance:   A classic ginger despite the cultural and ethnic mish mash that is her ancestry, Tandy is quite luring, with golden brown eyes. 
Style:      Tandy is a bit of an exhibitionist.  As her hero worship for Jigs grows this will redouble and redouble again.  For now, she favors tight tops, bare midriffs, and jeans that ride low enough to give a look at the kanji tatooed on each hip.  She tends to keep knives and shuriken hidden under her clothing, and carry a whip at her belt where most people would carry a gun.

   Between Tandy's paranormal awareness and her overactive imagination, she's kind of superstitious--especially about the number thirteen.  She also tends to take fortune tellers way too seriously.  Tarot cards, the I-ching, and (something Arabic) especially.  She's also spiritually inclined but quite a religious mish-mash.  Her parents were both religiously open minded.  Her father was a Muslim and her mother a Hindu--with a liberal splash of Budisim.       
   Tandy loves cats.

The numbers are good.   Background is also good.  I am also fine with 17,  (hardline for age is 16).  Approved and put on the roster.   One thing the alliance recruiting.  I see it more as it being conscription.   The alliance is going to take and use what it needs to keep the alliance in control.

*grins*  Oh, yes, most definitely.  I said forcibly recruiting for a reason! 

I'm very glad you like Tandy.  I'm quite pleased with her!
