Survivor Concept: SCP-105 (Iris Thompson)
A little disclaimer right at the start I'm very new to the game. I bought it a couple of days ago, but I've been watching videos and reading the wiki and whatnot so I've been trying to learn how the game works on a mechanical level. So take this suggestion with about a gram of salt because my suggestions may be extremely unbalanced or would just not work with the game as it's set up, but hey I thought it would be fun. For that reason, I made the perks' specifics a little bit vague to make them more balanceable by changing durations and things around a bit. Also I know a SCP collab is 99.5% never going to happen, but I can dream.
With that out of the way, I'm sure lots of people have thought to mix the SCP universe with Dead By Daylight in the past, and I've seen some killer suggestions, but it made me wonder: "why would it have to be a killer?". So my mind immediately went to my favorite SCP entry (for personal reasons), the unluckiest photographer in the world, Iris. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this one, she's a humanoid safe-class SCP whose particular ability is to use photographs as real-time "portals" through which she can see the world as it exists in real-time. For example, if she took a picture of you sitting at your computer desk, she could essentially use it as a permanent, invisible spy camera. Additionally, she can stick her hand through these photographs and manipulate the world with a limited amount of force.
Overview: Iris Thompson is a cunning, and observant anomaly who will do whatever it takes to escape with her life. Her personal perks are focused on rewarding her for taking certain risks.
Abbreviated Lore: as a teenager, Iris had the misfortune to be born with a gift. Once the foundation's information network found out her fate was sealed. They immediately tracked her down and tricked her into a life of imprisonment. Inside the foundation, she was desperate for any kind of escape from the monotony of life imprisonment in Site-17 she volunteered for Mobile Task Force Omega-7, codenamed "Pandora's Box". It was an experimental program to test whether or not humanoid SCPs could be utilized as assets in a task force without undue incidents. It was there that she learned the true extent of the dangers mankind faced every day without the general public knowing a thing. Because it was then that she met SCP-076-2, also known as Able, a dangerous monster that was more weapon than soldier. Needless to say, the experiment ended in a disaster, with SCP-076-2 running wild and slaughtering most everyone in the task force, but by some miracle, Iris survived. Years later the foundation decided to bring the experiment back from the ashes in the form of MTF Alpha-9, a fully realized task force intended to use humanoid SCPs for the foundation's benefit, with SCP-105 herself taking a major role.
Perks: "Lessons from Pandora's Box": Extended observation of a monster, no matter how inhuman reveal patterns that can be anticipated. After watching a killer without being noticed from a distance for a certain amount of time you gain one stack. Whenever you successfully escape from a chase you can see the killer's aura for a short frame of time and lose a stack. It takes longer to gain each stack depending on how many you have, and there is a limit of 3 stacks total.

“SCP-105-B”: You start the game with 3 (unsure about number) Polaroids. At any time you can pul
l out a camera and take a snapshot of the area directly in front of you. The resulting picture is added to your UI in the bottom right. They effectively become a security camera located in that area for the remainder of the game. The perspective is limited to the area of the photograph, and they can not be deleted and replaced.When you take a picture, there is a bright flash, which may draw unwanted attention. However, in a pinch you can use the flash to blind the killer for a short time. (I'm thinking that each survivor has a standard camera they use, but Iris' is a unique model

“Last Hope”: When it's do or die, you have no other choice but to push yourself to your limit. During the last few seconds of the end game collapse, you gain the ability to see the aura of the escape hatch and a moderate boost in your sprint speed.

Maybe just one polaroid. Other than that the perks look fine in theory.

Ah I see. I should have noted I don't really play survivor. If there's one picture would the upgraded ranks improve the time it needs to take the picture?
