[b]Description:[/b] Jack was initially one of Vincent's collectibles. Vincent admired the man's display of his gyft, and planned to keep it indefinitely. But, when Jack showed hunger, and a willingness, nay, a need to sow chaos, to reduce the human spirit to ash, Vincent started getting other ideas.

After much therapy, Vincent has managed to tear apart and piece back together the broken mind of this man. A man who finds humour at funerals.

Now? Now Jack is fairly functional, more than he was. His gyft stops acting like an autoimmune disorder, well, as long as he continually seeks Vincent's ‘corrections’.

With Vincent's help, Jack is a blood-thirsty capo, ready to inject fear into any who oppose The Boss. He enjoys his own mental games, dragging someone down to their own personal hell, far enough where they become hysterical, vegetable state-like, homicidal, or suicidal, depending on the person.

[b]Gyft:[/b] The Eyes of Madness

Within Jack's aura of about thirty feet, physical and hallucinated eyes of madness begin to grow on anything - walls, furniture, even human bodies. When they open, they begin to speak directly to the mind. They know knowledge that should be impossible to know, as if the person's very demons are speaking.

If there are enough eyes focused on a person, these whispering will evolve into hallucinations, forcing a person to relive their most damning moments. The whisperings on top of it begin to fray at a person's mind.

Eventually, and this is entirely dependant on the person, but the end result is the person becomes hysterical, homicidal, suicidal, or vegetable state-like. And they will stay like this until the eyes close or are destroyed.

Jack can use these eyes of madness to see beyond his position. However, when there are eyes of madness open, Jack's own mind becomes a bit frayed. Long enough exposure, and Jack too, is at risk to go mad.

The physical eyes can be destroyed by conventional means. Though, the ones that are on the human body? They will require a person to stab or harm themselves to force the eye to close. The hallucinatory eyes can only be destroyed by shutting down Jack, or having an immunity to mental attacks.

[b]Description:[/b] Alex has been around almost as long as Matteo, and was part of the crew that was snuck into Nocturnia in the beginning days of the Thorned Roses rise to power. He likes to think his love of all things goth, the darkness and depression, helped manifest his gyft: control over voids.

Now he's a heavy hitter. To Vincent's delight, Alex is up there with Matteo, stringing along kills like popcorn. He enjoys his work, and he has the utmost faith in Vincent.

When he's particularly mad at someone, he enjoys creating a small black hole in front of them with just enough gravitational pressure to cause the person to teeter on being sucked in, which quickly causes them to shut up about whatever it was they were going on about.

[b]Gyft:[/b] Black Holes

Alex is able to break down his gyft into different applications. 

[i]Standard Black Hole[/i]

He is able to create a black hole that begins small, gaining power and width up to one foot in diameter. As they grow, they increase in their ability to suck in objects. However, because they're unstable, and to avoid taking in huge chunks of earth in a runaway black hole, they always collapse after a few seconds.

It is in this collapse where the magic of Alex's black holes begins. As they collapse, they do so quickly, creating a powerful shockwave.  This shockwave has the ability to crush bones if someone is one or two feet within the blast radius. And if someone is in the five to six foot radius, they will be flung violently.

Black holes are created and moved telekinetically, without limit on number. His creation distance is about sixty feet in diameter.

[i]Barrier Black Holes[/i]

For a few seconds, Alex can create rows upon rows of black holes that can act like a shield, absorbing anything from bullets to energy, to light. Then these black holes collapse. So they can only be used as a quick, short defense.

[i]Anti-gravity Black Holes[/i]

This requires a great deal of finesse, but Alex is able to, say if he were to leap from a building. He could let loose a blackhole above him to suck him up a little, slowing his fall. He would then cause the black hole to move upward, out of range as it collapsed, and he would land rather smoothly on the ground.

If he needed to get higher in the air, he could do the reverse, have a black hole suck him up into the sky, and move it out of the way as it collapsed. He could technically do this on end to move haphazardly through the air.

[b]Description:[/b] ‘Joker’ was actually one of the survivors of a raid Vincent did on Laterdale in the early days when he was marking his territory. Joker worked for a small time crime family who loved him for his gyft. And it was his gyft which caused Vincent's eye to be caught.

[color=bd4abd][b]“Capture him alive, I want him alive!”[/b][/color] Was what Vincent had barked in the comms while his men mowed down the other lessers. 

That was when Joker was given an ultimatum: submit to Vincent and become part of his gang, or lose his mind. Joker, however, was a fairly chill individual, he thought, and very quickly agreed to join the Thorned Roses. 

He has served them for a few years now, and went from a solider to a capo fairly quickly. It helps when the boss is partial to your gyft.

[b]Gyft:[/b] The Dragon Dynasty

The Dynasty lives in his mind like it's own dimension. The Dynasty is made up of dragons of all types and sizes that Joker has dreamed up over the years. It is a simple process to summon a dragon - they merely manifest in the area around Joker. If they are given a fatal blow, they merely fade out of existence and back into the Dynasty. Joker can also de-summon them at will.

Joker can summon up to ten small dragons about the size of a car each, and can summon up to one dragon the size of a one-story building. Their abilities differ in their breath. Some breath fire, others breath ice or lightning.
