Been making Chapters for a while figured I'd share.

The Raven

“ A new evil lurks in the shadows. This man has a pet raven. But this raven is not like the others. It seems more sinister behind it’s eyes. I have to be more aware of my senses in order to evade him before he finds me. They haven’t fail me so far. ”

Lore: Calvin Mitch was a quite child growing up with 2 brothers and a sister. Growing up in school, kids picked on Calvin because of how quite he was, and Calvin was always too shy to do anything. So, he let the bullying happen. After a while his brothers and sister would join in on it making life worse at school and home. His anger started to build more and more. Eventually, Calvin’s parents saw how down he felt so on one of Calvin’s birthdays, they bought him a parrot for his birthday. Calvin, however, didn’t like the bird. He wanted something better.

One day, while moving boxes around in his parent’s garage, he saw that a raven had been caught in the back of the garage. Calvin stared at the raven and the raven stared back. Calvin saw himself in the raven. He managed to catch the raven and hide him in a shed that his parents never used. Everyday when Calvin came home, he would go and talk about his day with his raven. He would also sneak bird seeds that he was giving his other bird to his raven. Months passed and Calvin looked happier. His parents assumed it was from the bird they had bought him and thought proudly of themselves.

A few years went by and Calvin managed to train his best friend. He trained him to follow him, stay on his shoulder and do amazing tricks. But one day, his brothers and sister stumbled into the shed and found Calvin’s raven while he was at a doctor’s appointment. Knowing what it was, his brothers and sister tortured and killed the raven, so Calvin could find it when he gets home. When Calvin found his raven, he was distraught. Thinking that his parents would punish his siblings, they instead punished him for keeping a stray animal. Calvin went into a dark rage. He then thought of a way to get back at his siblings.

One rainy afternoon, Calvin lead his siblings to an abandoned house and locked the door. With a smile on his face he tortured and murdered his siblings, one by one. Calvin was also careful. He prepared the house by making sure there was no way for them to get out. He also made sure to wear a mask of a raven to remind his siblings why he was doing this. Calvin buried his outfit and their bodies, smiling with revenge as he went home. After some time went by, Calvin’s parent became concerned on where his brothers and sisters were. Police searched everywhere for his siblings, but they were nowhere to be found.

After a 4-year search, police gave up their investigation. Calvin’s parents were distraught, and Calvin enjoyed their pain. However, he still had a void in his life now. Then one night, he heard something inside his parent’s shed. Calvin went to investigate and found another crow. This crow looked the exact same as his former friend but with a darker presence. Calvin embraced his presence and felt happy as he once was. The next day, police came to Calvin’s house to tell his parents they found their bodies. A homeowner had bought the house that Calvin had killed his siblings and decided to build a pool in the back where they found mangled corpses. Overhearing this Calvin panicked.

Calvin packed his stuff to run away. While he was packing, his parents walked in. Calvin, with a sinister grin, told his parents why he was packing. He told them how he lured his siblings to that house and tortured his siblings to death. Horrified by what they were hearing they went to the phone to call the police. Calvin managed to stop them and did the same thing to them as he did to his sibling. All on show for his raven. Calvin disappeared that day. Never to be seen again.

Eric Jones

         Lore: Eric grew up with a tough life. His parents divorced when he was still a kid and grew up not knowing his father. Things took a turn for the worst when his mom became mentally ill and he had to live in foster care. Life got better for Eric once he met Abigail. They grew up doing everything together. Going to school, riding bikes and even giving each other haircuts. Once Eric was 18, Eric tried to run away with Abigail. Telling her how he would take her to a better life. But she refused and asked him not to run away. Eric was reluctant but stayed.

           On the night Eric and Abigail graduated from high school, he received the worst news of his life. Abigail had gotten an acceptance letter from a college far away from the college that Eric had been accepted to. Abigail refused to go but Eric not wanting to hold Abigail back let her go. Eric kept in touch with Abigail, but it wasn’t the same. Eric eventually stopped talking to Abigail. Eric then had to deal with the pressures of college on his own. Losing his ability to cope, Eric reverted to drinking. He’d hit bar after bar, trying to find a new happiness. One day, he realized what he was missing. Eric then drove to Abigail’s college. Not worrying about school anymore. Nervous of his decision he decided to watch Abigail’s house from a distance trying to work up his nerves. What he saw that night shocked him to his core. He saw as Abigail kissed another man. Devastated, Eric knocked on Abigail’s door, telling her how he loved her. But instead of receiving love, received rejection. Eric became even more devastated and ran away.

Eric was grief struck and alone. But instead of giving up, managed to pick himself up. To get his mind off his past, he decided to go traveling. Selling everything he owned, he set off to explore. He saw great sights and met nice people. Interested in the paranormal, Eric wanted to see more haunted places. As Eric was leaving a haunted ironwork factory, he bumped into a man. The man curious in Eric asked him what he was doing here. Eric told the man about his fascination with haunted locations. The man suggested he visit a haunted house that people don’t usually go to. Eric thanked the man and went to his new destination. Eric stared at the abandoned house in disbelief, wondering what made this house haunted. All the houses nearby it seemed abandoned. Stepping into the house, he felt a chill run down his spine. Feeling as if someone was watching him, Eric turned around to see the door closed and found himself in a much darker, sinister place.

Perks:

·        Cheer

o  You encourage your team, even in rough times. Allies within 8 meters receive 10% / 15% / 20% larger skill checks while preforming repair, healing and sabotaging actions. Once out of range, this effect persists for 15 seconds.

·        Grit

o  You become resilient to death. While in a healthy state, if a hit were to instantly send you to the dying state, you’re instead injured and sent into a 20 / 25 / 30 second Deep wound timer. This effect can only happen once per trial.

“I’m not done yet!”

·        Defiance

o  While on a hook, if the killer is 24 meters near you for 30 seconds straight, you automatically unhook yourself. After unhooking yourself, the next occasion that would put you into the Dying State from the Injured State is ignored for 10 / 15 / 20 seconds. (Even if you are in the struggle phase of being on the hook you are automatically unhooked.)

Like Killer idea

Grit and Defiance are OP

Waffleyumboy

Needs Adjustment (Please list what)

Grit should have a huge downside, maybe all hits that would put you into the Injured state instead put you into the deep wounds state. Defiance seems fine to me, maybe just add broken to it like other self help perks. The killer's power needs lethality, and Raven's watch needs to start out with a huge slow to compensate for its counterplay, probably 20-30% reduced repair speeds. Everything thing else can stay as is and sounds fun.

Wow! This is really good! I do have some suggestions though. If it were to reveal the survivors, maybe give him a bigger power range? Like 32 meters or so? I mean, it has a cool down anyway, so I think it would be okay. Or have some other effects like, survivors who move or don't crouch will have a swarm of crows above or around them while being revealed. This would at least provide the survivor some information about his current situation.

As for the survivor perks... I think Grit is okay since it can only happen once per trial. For Defiance, maybe cause the survivor to be broken for some time?

Very good ideas though. :)
