Bri Huxton

A wild Bri Huxton in her natural habitat

Bri Huxton is an Avatar of the Slaughter, operating in the South London based radio station 101.5 UK Rocks as the Program Director and On-Air Personality.

## History

### Early Life

Bri grew up in a compound operated by her maternal grandfather, William Herron, amongst various cousins, all in an unknown attempt for William to create an Avatar dedicated to the Slaughter within his bloodline. He did this by killing each of his own children to take in their own. He had been partially inspired by the Cult of the Lightless Flame's process that created Agnes Montague.

Bri developed an emotional attachment to music to escape the horrors of growing up in constant fear of death and pain. This specific attachment to music became the basis of her later abilities as an Avatar.

### Avatar Emergence

June 16th, 2014, Bri was left dying in the empty compound after Sawyer, her cousin and suspected Avatar the Hunt, blindsided and aimed to kill her to escape the compound at last. Bri finally had been able to tap into the abilities gifted to her by the Slaughter to overpower Sawyer and ultimately kill him. Shortly after, knowing that she was likely going to die, Bri turned her aggression and anger towards William and made sure that he died in as much pain as possible.

Bri "died" in the building that day, however due to gifts from the Slaughter, she had been able to heal the more traumatic wounds and walk away some few days later.

Bri destroyed the compound after taking every ounce of money William stored away and found a hotel in Inverness to stay in until she figured out her next plans.

### Moving to London

While William had given Bri the talk about the existence of the 14 entities years prior, she was still not entirely sure who, or even what she was now that the compound had been burned to the ground. Despite this, she knew that Inverness likely did not hold those answers. Bri had done some digging and found a beloved medium-sized radio station in South London that had fallen on hard times and was close to financial failure. She reached out to the station's manager, and an agreement was met. Bri would provide whatever money was needed to save the station and then some to keep it operating if he allowed Bri to run the stations broadcasting. The manager agreed, and Bri found herself on a train to London on August 8th, 2014.

### The Magnus Incident

A month after living in London, Bri still had not known much about her own abilities or what was required to fuel her existence. Excited by the freedom of living in the city, Bri had gone out into the nightlife. Along the way, she followed a few stragglers from a bar and unknowingly ended up on the Magnus Institute campus. She took the opportunity to feed the Slaughter, acting mostly on instinct and aggression. The next day, she was sent an encrypted email with security footage of the carnage and an invitation to speak at the Institute.

This ultimately ended up with her making an agreement with Elias Bouchard with Genevieve Gladstone, his personal assistant, present to handle favors that only a Slaughter Avatar outside the Institute could fulfill. Her radio station would be given what additional protection could be provided to keep her employees safe and Bri out of further trouble with the police should there be another mistake. Elias added that she's to provide their Archivist, who at the time had been Gertrude Robinson, a statement regarding her lifestory. Failure to do so would mean the immediate transfer of the security footage to the London Police. Without much option, Bri agreed.

Bri has remained in contact with Genevive as Elias's proxy since the incident, much to her distaste and frustration.

### Current Day

Bri still works at and is the program director for 101.5 UK Rocks. Over time, she's become far more familiar and adept with her powers and influence and has had very few problems since the Magnus Incident. How much of this is because of Elias's own influence, she does not and would frankly rather not know.

She has hired a handful of employees, roughly 15 full and part time employees at the station. Most of those employees are not touched by entities outside herself and the traffic and morning reporter, Alistair Gweledydd, an Avatar of the Beholding.

With the recent influx of Avatars within London, she's found connections, both enemies and friends amongst them. A part of her, the one with the deep-seated fear that originally aligned her with the Slaughter, fears that it will result in something terrible, painful, even. However, it's difficult to not get caught up in the excitement before. She's never had this many friends before.

## Powers and Abilities

As an Avatar of the Slaughter, Bri has a number of abilities that allow her to serve the entity.

* Music-Based Manipulation (The Fight)
	+ While listening to music, Bri has the ability to use it to reach inside a person or people and dredge up their anger and aggression and turn it into a blind rage. She can limit how many people this affects, but cannot usually reach more than a handful at a time, relying on The Fight to spread through a larger crowd.
	+ When The Fight breaks out, it's able to spread with violent contact from one person to another.
* Heightened Adrenaline
	+ The Fight affects not only Bri's targets, but also herself, urging her to participate in it. As a result, her adrenaline spikes and it allows her a prolonged boost in strength and removes her ability to feel pain. This fades after The Fight ends.
* Advanced Healing
	+ When injured, Bri has the ability to heal most of her injuries fairly quickly, however the quicker her injuries heal, the more likely they are to scar. With Bri having such a public-facing job, this has not been ideal. When she puts more uninterrupted focus into her healing, they are able to heal with little to no scarring.
* Uneasy Aura
	+ Bri is able to emanate a consistent sense of unease among people she is not familiar with or meet for the first time. To most people, considering Bri is a part of a well-known station, it's often interpreted as being nervous to meet her. People and other Avatars that spend enough of their time around her, such as her employees and Avatars she knows well, are not affected by this.
	+ She can prevent this by internalizing that unease, however, it tends to manifests as deep anxiety and sensitivity to aggression and paranoia. Left unchecked, it could turn into a Problem™

## Event Participation

The Bonfire:

* Bri had gone fully understanding what it was likely to become and counted on it doing so.
* When midnight struck, Murder Hour began, and Bri focused on the large group of people dancing to the extremely loud music.
* Dubbed lovingly as her Slaughter Mosh Pit, she triggered The Fight in the crowd, and very few ended up surviving. Any that may have possibly escaped are scarred terribly by the Slaughter.
* Bri had to spend several days healing wounds to not rouse suspicion and concern.
