Information:

Your character’s voice has an attractive quality, in the literal sense. Whenever she speaks, those within earshot are drawn to her, distracted from whatever they were previously doing. Everyone within earshot suffers a –2 penalty on all actions performed while the changeling with the Merit is actually speaking. This penalty goes away as soon as she stops. While listeners may not actually move closer, their attention is pulled to her in an obvious manner. This Merit does not influence them to obey her or even to like her, but they will be hard-pressed to ignore her when she speaks. This can be useful for attracting a waiter’s attention, distracting an enemy shooter or having one’s side of an argument heard. It can, however, prove unfortunate when speaking to a cab driver en route, trying to carry on a private conversation in a crowded room or speaking within earshot of allies while in a fight. This Merit is always on and affects everyone (friend and foe alike) within earshot. The Siren Song does not carry through radio, electronic or recorded media, however — it must be heard live and unamplified. {{CHR| The character must spend a [[Willpower]] point to activate and lasts for one scene. However, any other physical action performed while the Merit is active suffers a -1 penalty as the character focuses on the strange vibes flowing from her voice. If the changeling decides to switch the Merit off, they must pay for it to be active once again.}} {{characteristics}}
