Briella's power is very strong and very specific. Briella is able to "infect" someone with a sin. The catch? The person getting infected must have a deep, untouched desire to commit the sin. Even if they are unaware of that desire, it has to be there to work. Generally, and most likely, it will be one of the Seven Deadly Sins:
ENVY - The feeling of envy is magnified to the point of destruction. Anyone the infected sees as superior, or better in some way will be the target of the infected's anger. Generally the infected will do anything to perceive that they are the best and will do whatever they can to dispose of whatever it is that they are feeling envious of.
GLUTTONY - Those infected with gluttony will eat whatever they come across in total excess until they are sick, or worse.
GREED - Those infected with greed are affect mainly by material greed. It can cause people to go to extreme lengths to acquire material goods that they don't have and suddenly feel lie they need. This can cause stealing or even violence in rare cases. Greed is one of the most common sins Briella casts on people.
LUST - Being infected with the sin of lust causes people to forget about everything in their life except for their insatiable need for sexual interaction.
PRIDE - This can cause people to suddenly act very prideful, even if it is out of character for them. This prideful act can cause them to become slightly tyrannical because they temporarily believe they can do no wrong, They generally use this as justification for whatever they do while infected.
SLOTH - Sloth is another very common infection with Briella's power. It can cause people to stop in the middle of whatever they are doing and lay down instantly. They forget about everything - even eating and drinking, or going to the bathroom - for the sake of being lazy.
WRATH - This infection can be the most dangerous. It tap into most people's unexpressed rage and causes them to do dangerous and wrathful things. This often leads to a potentially violent loss of control.

[attr="class","rawrface"] [attr="class","bamface"] [attr="class","wbascr"] I was a beautiful spring Saturday, and tonight was going to be a nightmare. In short, Briella was beyond excited. She sat in the back of the town car playing with the silver cuff around her wrist that muted her power and kept her from wreaking havoc on other people and they morals. Rolling her eyes at the thought, Briella crossed her legs in a very lady like way and waited patiently for the car to pull to a stop in front of her family's large home.
Before climbing out of the car to greet her mother, who was waiting for her guests to arrive, Briella smoothed her hands over the pink lace of her dress and made sure her hair was perfect. She checked her ear rings, her necklace, and her shoes, to make sure she looked like a proper, pretty girl like her mother preferred. And finally she swung her legs out of the car and stood up, smiling brightly at her mother, "Mother!" She said sweetly, hugging her mom, "Tonight will be lovely, I'm sure of it!" She said politely as they pulled out of the hug, "I believe the happy couple is on the way."

Melanie has the ability to mentally communicate with people. She has a normal range of around ten feet unless she is familiar with the mind she is communicating with. If she has communicated with someone before multiple times, she can feel their mental presence for up to 100 yards, but the connection tends to be weak. Her range only slightly increases when she is panicked and is attempting to find a specific person.
Communicating with a stranger is harder for Melanie because she currently struggles with finding the connection and holding on to it. With training, she might be able to hold a conversation with up to four people at the same time, but they would not be able to hear eachother's thoughts, only hers.

Melanie had been shocked when, at the last minute, her parents chose to her her ride in with them and her brother instead of with Rich as previously planned. Something about "catching his reaction" to seeing her for the first time that day. Too bad she could care less about what her fiance thought. The only person who's opinion she cared about when it came to some thing like clothes was in the car behind them with his sister. At least Briella had beaten her brother there. She was definitely Melanie's favorite Gaunt sibling and the most tolerable of the entire family. Good evening Mrs. Gaunt. She greeted politely, giving her a big smile. I love the hair Briella. Gorgeous as ever. Staring at the large house for a minute, Melanie found herself getting nervous. Could they really pull this off? and if they did, could they ever get the wedding stopped if they played the part too well? It was definitely a fine line that she was worried about crossing. outfit |

IT JUST HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY AND SHE CAN'T EXACTLY CUT IT OFF BUT JUST LIKE TALKING WITH A PERSON SHE HAS TO BE WITHIN EARSHOT TO UNDERSTAND THE CREATURES. SHE CAN GET VERY CONFUSED ON WHO SHE IS TALKING WITH OR WHERE A CONVERSATION IS COMING FROM IF SHE HAPPENS TO BE IN EARSHOT OF SOME ANIMAL.
CONTROLLING IS A BIT DIFFERENT. IT ISN'T A SPOKEN COMMAND IT IS MORE OF A MENTAL ONE. IT TAKES TOTAL CONCENTRATION AND SHE CAN'T CONTROL AN ANIMAL FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, NOT THAT SHE WANTS TO. ANY LONGER AND IT CAUSES MASSIVE HEADACHES, NOSE BLEEDS AND IN SOME CASES SHE WILL PASS OUT BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TILL THE TWO HOUR MARK. THE SIMPLER THE COMMAND THE EASIER IT IS TO CONTROL THE ANIMALS. RAVEN PREFERS TO JUST ASK THE ANIMAL IF THEY ARE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN CONTROL THEM.

[attr="class","slideup"] | swallowed up in the sound of My Screaming Cannot Cease For The Fear Of Silent Nights If there was one thing Raven hated it was the family functions. She went to a couple of the holiday events to the surprise of her mother which was nice. But these dinners were always a pain. She knew that it was to officially announce the engagement between Mel and Rich. She felt bad for her older brother. Sure it took some time but they were starting to get along. This dinner she was just a simple bystander. She had no intention of getting involved with much anything that evening. It had nothing to do with being too scared to speak out of fear of what her mother would do. No this time, she really had nothing to say.
Raven drove herself to the dinner, refusing to get a driver.She didn't see the point and she didn't mind the drive itself. It was peaceful and nice. She had taken the cats to the spa and then took Onyx with her. She had one of her larger purses with her so the large snake would fit without being noticed. She knew her future sister in law hated snakes but that really didn't concern Raven too much. She didn't figure she would be staying very long past the dinner part. Upon arrival she carefully put the bag over her shoulders as she walked over to where her mother sister and Mel were. "Good day Ms. Thorn, Briella, Mother" Her voice was dry but she was being polite. She could see the scowl in her mothers eyes but ignored it knowing her mother wouldn't make a scene in front of other people. @tag everyone • outfit • whoot drama time Oh How I Long For The Deep Sleep Dreaming the goddess of imaginary light |

[attr="class","rawrface"] [attr="class","bamface"] [attr="class","wbascr"] Melanie arriving was probably the most exciting thing that was going to happen all night. Well, assuming she couldn't stow her bracelet somewhere and get far enough away from her brother that she could work some magic on the guests of the fancy get together. She ran her fingers through the tips of her hair, nodding, "I know, right?" She said, sending a sideways glance at her mother, "Mother doesn't approve." Briella put on her sad puppy face and pouted like what her mother thought of her hair really mattered to her. After a moment, Mrs. Gaunt just shook her head, smiling in that 'do what you want' sort of way she always did when she caved to Briella's whims.
If Melanie, arriving was the best thing to happen, the next car that pulled up was probably the worst. Of all the people in the world that would have to be at this thing, Briella wondered why her family even pretended to care about Raven. She was weird, her power was practically useless, and she was like that creepy goth kid at school no one wanted to get too close to for fear of catching whatever weird disease that they had. But that didn't stop Briella from grinning brightly like the sun had just broken through the clouds after an F-5 tornado had destroyed an entire town. It was glittery and would have looked genuine if you didn't know Briella was actually looking at Raven with contempt, "Sissy!" She shouted, wrapped her arms around her sister's neck despite the actual nausea it caused her. She pulled away and smiled her devilish smile that only Raven, and maybe Sawyer, would be able to identify, "Oh, mother! Did I tell you? When I arrived at school, I visited Sissy in her dorm! She said she was so jealous of Rich and couldn't wait to be set up with her own marriage. Isn't that just the greatest?" She gushed like a school girl talking about her eighth grade dance, "Don't you just love how she embraces the family business so completely? It really is inspirational!"

Sawyer's power is far more subtle and less dangerous than his twins. Sawyer can intercept, interprate and send electrical, digital and radio signals. So if you send a text message Sawyer can intercept it and reply without actually having a phone. You don't even have to be texting him. He can also detect radio waves and intercept the messages sent by them. His power also gives him the ability to stop web pages loading, tune televisions and prevent someone receiving email ect. Essentially anything that wireless he can prevent it communicating with anything else. Sawyer's power is strictly limited to wireless devices and networks. Just like any wireless device he doesn't always have a 'signal' and in areas with High hills his powers are often blocked out. He can't yet turn his power off, this affects his sleep when to many electronic devices are on nearby. He also struggles when there are to many signals passing at once, he actually goes physically deaf and can only hear the signals. Sawyer usually uses his power for blackmail or to terrorize other people after all he can read and hear your most intimate and important conversations without even trying and you'd have no idea. Sawyer is also always giving off a Wi-Fi signal so as long as you're near him you'll always have wifi.

Sawyer wasn't pleased that he had to be dragged along to some family dinner. Sure they had Rich's wedding to plan of whatever the purpose of getting his family and their future sister in-law together today was, but he wished they could plan it without him having to be there. If the purpose was to meet the potential new family, he didn't understand why that couldn't be done at the school that they all attended anyway. He'd tried to weasel his way out of it, he'd even pulled the sick card but Sawyer's wasn't as good an actor as a certain other Gaunt so his father quickly worked it out and warned him that he'd better turn up. It didn't deter him much and it had taken them some time to find his hiding spot before bundling him in the car alongside his twin once he'd got changed into a Guant appropriate outfit. The drive was quiet and Sawyer said nothing to his sister, he knew how much she was looking forward to the dinner and he didn't want to dampen her joy even if she was planning to terrorize Raven. Sawyer had less joy for these sort of events, he just wished his parents would do something genuine for a change and not just for show. Sawyer held in the groan as they pulled up to their destination, he let Brie go and greet their mother first. She was the favorite and if their mother saw her first then things always seemed better for her twin. Sawyer stayed in the car a little longer and watched as Brie interacted with her family and how their mother acted, he somehow felt it was something out of a screen play. A rich, all-american superfamily, so sweet that butter wouldn't melt. He suddenly didn't want to get out of the car, he absolutely hated family gatherings and boredom quickly made these occasions ones in which he would often get into trouble. Sawyer didn't even get out of the car when Melanie and Raven arrived, he simply watched the exchange for a while. Outfit |

Raven wanted to physically hurl when her sister started to speak. The hug was bad enough but she could always see through her sisters grin and those seemingly innocent eyes. Sure she was fine with being apart of the family business since her part was the nonprofit. All she wanted to do was work at the sanctuaries to begin with so it just seemed like a better deal. Raven smiled warmly her eyes still glaring at her sister. If it was one thing he Gaunts were good at it would be faking. "It was a wonderful surprise to have my adorable sister show up at the dorm" she lied. Her voice was like honey to hide the growing resentment she had towards her sister. Raven looked back to the car to see the other twin had yet to get out. If just to get away from her mother and sister she headed to the car and leaned at the doorway. Her younger brother wasn't much better. He always went along with her sisters torment and mother was always alright with the twins tormenting their older sister. But it had been three years without them as she wasn't going to let them suddenly coming back into her life to ruin what she had now. "Look I get not wanting to be here and trust me I am bailing the moment I can but you still have to get out of the car" Raven spoke low so the others wouldn't hear but still had a smile so they wouldn't suspect anything.

Sawyer hadn't expected Raven to come over to the car when she noticed he had yet get out. He was to busy convincing himself that the evening would be fine, who was he kidding this was Gaunt's, it would more likely be a pretentious and uptight affair. He looked to Raven when she spoke, they weren't friends and he knew that he could be mean to his older sister but unfortunately he was more fearful of Brielle than Raven so in the end his twin won out and had Sawyer twisted around her pinkie finger just like everyone else. "Who says I have to get out the car! Mother hasn't said and neither has father." Sawyer said in a matter-of-fact tone. He knew that inevitably one of the adult Gaunt's would expect him out of the car sharpish. They might even make Rich get him if he ever arrived, Sawyer would much rather be hiding out in his dorm at Ashford blasting his music at inappropriate volumes but when the Gaunt family is summoned everyone had better arrive.
