New Killer. The Mannequin. New Survivor. Barbara Middleton. New Chapter. Mannequins Of Human Flesh
The Mannequin.
Backstory
Barbara was a scientist geek. She worked in a lab and a mannequin factory as part time. Her boss was always rude to her and had actually hit her a few times! So she had been working in her lab for many years trying to make a potion. This potion was special to her and she would use it for revenge on her boss. She went to work one day with the potion she made. Her boss came over to her with a sharpened piece of plastic and pushed her off of her desk to attack. She retaliated and punched her boss in the face, she pulled her hair, forced her mouth open and chugged the potion down her. Seconds later, her hands started to turn plastic and up to her shoulder. Her neck was plastic and it travelled up all the way to her hair. Before she could say the words ‘you’re fired’, she had turned into a mannequin. It’s a surprise she could still move her arms and legs!
Weapon. The arm of the mannequin has been sharpened enough to stab right into human flesh!
Power no.1
5 Picture frames are placed around the map randomly at different generators. In these picture frames, there are the top half of mannequins sticking out and moving around. (For a creepy effect) Every 30 seconds, the mannequin can climb through a picture frame and travel to another! When travelling through a picture frame, survivors close by can hear a weird crawling noise.
Power no.2
Mannequins are placed around the map. (At least 2 at every generator and Exit Gate, maybe more) The mannequin can press the ‘active ability’ button any time. This will disguise the mannequin like the others around the map. When disguised, the terror radius is reduced to 2 metres and the red stain is now invisible.
Power no.3 (final power)
The mannequin can build other mannequins inside lockers, up to a maximum of 7. It takes 5 seconds to build a mannequin. When survivors go to hide inside a locker with a mannequin inside, they will scream in terror and their location will be revealed to you for 3 seconds.
Addons.
The mannequin can now hide inside mannequins placed around the map.
The mannequin can build an extra manikin inside lockers.
It takes 2 seconds to build a mannequin.
When survivors scream in terror after trying to hide in a locker with a mannequin, they will be exposed for 1 minute.
The survivors aura will be revealed for 5 seconds after screaming in terror.
When climbing through a picture frame, the mannequins terror radius is reduced to 3 metres for 10 seconds.
Mori.
The mannequin kicks the survivor to the floor. (The survivor will scream and fight back) The mannequin will then press into their chest and the survivor will slowly turn plastic and into a mannequin.
Perks.
Injured and Kicked.
When kicking a generator, if a survivor is within 6/8/10 metres from that generator. They will instantly become injured. If they are already injured, they will be inflicted with the broken status effect for 1 minute.
Has a cool down of 100/80/60 seconds.
’I knew you were there and I knew this would hurt.’ - The Mannequin
Exhausted Chase
You become obsessed with one survivor.
When within 12/14/16 metres from your obsession, they will be inflicted with the exhausted status effect for 1 minute.
Every time your obsession is rescued from the hook, the rescuer will become the obsession.
You can only be obsessed with one survivor at a time.
’You can’t run if you’re exhausted.’ - The Mannequin
Hex: Abilities Controlled
A hex that takes control of all abilities, at a hard time. When destroyed, the ALL survivors abilities (repair, sabotage, healing, cleansing and chest openings) will be removed for 40/50/60 seconds!
’If you cleanse, prepare to be inflicted!’ - The Mannequin
New Survivor. Barbara Middleton.
Appearance.
Brown hair with red, round glasses. A white T-shirt with the words ‘Science Rocks’ written on it. A normal pair of ripped jeans and some pink and white trainers will laces.
Perks.
Toxic Stun
When successfully stunning the killer with a pallet, it will add an extra 1/1.5/2 seconds for the killer to destroy it.
Has a cool down of 60/50/40 seconds.
’My success is your weakness.’ - Barbara Middleton
Hide Your Tracks
When within the killers terror radius and you hide inside a locker. All tracks that you may have left behind will instantly disappear.
Hide Your Tracks has a cool down of 60/50/40 seconds.
’You can’t find me if I hide my tracks.’ - Barbara Middleton
Percentage Cleanse
When cleansing a totem, the next totem you cleanse will be 2/4/6% faster. This keeps adding up until you cleanse the last totem.
’I just wanna break bones faster!’ - Barbara Middleton
New Map. The Mannequin Factory. (Barbara’s Crime Scene)
PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK. IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO THINK OF THIS IDEA! 👍🏻

OK I'll go over the new content. this means the power and perks' functions. I won't go over backstory, the killer itself, or the names of anything. I also can't cover the map, for obvious reasons.
The killer power overall seems a bit weak, however the paintings seem a little too strong. If you want to keep them, I'd recommend it having a tell, like freddy. maybe the manikin is normal at first, but jumps out when being teleported to. as for the rest of the power, the become a manikin thing is easily counterable, as survivors will learn to avoid all of them just in case, and the locker power should be able to affect 7-10 at a time, rather than 4. I'd suggest 7 or 8.
the perks.
Injured and kicked maybe should have tiers of 6/8/10 as 12 is a lot. it also should either have a lengthy cooldown or it should make them scream, otherwise it'd be broken.
Exhausted chase is a decent idea, I like how it's made to target sprint burst users from zooming once ya get close, and has other uses as well, although this would essentially remove dead hard, so that should be kept in mind.
Hex: abilities controlled is one i'm not too sure about. On paper it sounds aight, but we may need to see how that works before any final judgement is made
Toxic stuns is unique, though I'm not sure about it because of endurings popularity, people may not want to use it because enduring would cancel it out
I like Hide your tracks, and It has some good synergy with perks like Quick and Quiet or Head On.
Percentage cleanse is aight. I like the adding incentive to cleanse away NOED.

TYSM for responding. I have tweaked the power of the Manikin and hopefully it doesn’t seem OP.
The first power - I have made it so that survivors can hear a creepy crawling noise when the Manikin is travelling through a painted.
Power no.2 - I have made it so that there are manikins at every generator and exit gate. (2 or more) so that it may be a bit easier for the manikin to blend in with the others. 😂
Power no.3 - I have taken your idea of making it 7 manikins that can be placed in a locker.
I have changed Kicked and Injured and Exhausted Chase (I was a bit puzzled as to what I should do with Exhausted Chase) 😂
I have also changed Toxic Stuns completely. Hopefully this can counter the Nightmares perk (Fire Up. I think...) 😂
Again. TYSM more replying!

alright I checked out the changes, they seem pretty good!
I like toxic stuns new design, it can help a lot in certain builds
the power changes improve the power a lot and make the killer very well balanced
Kicked and Injured seems a lot more balanced now and Exhausted chase is very interesting with the obsession not affecting Dead Hard
overall, very good changes, TYSM for considering and implementing them!

I read this as "Mankinis of Human Flesh".
(It's spelt mannequin, by the way. Not a big deal, but makes comprehension easier, and unfortunate misreadings like the above less likely.)

Thank you. I got confused. I did search it up before making this killer but I think I got them mixed up 😂. A manikin is a life-sized anatomical human model used for education and a mannequin is a life-sized sort of doll or statue used to show clothing in a store. Thank you for clearing that up 👍🏻

I have just spent the last few minutes, changing manikin to mannequin. Lol. 😂

I have actually changed Exhausted chase and hopefully it’s a bit more even. I started wondering, if one survivor can’t use their sprint burst, then how come another can use their dead hard? So I have made it so that when the o session is rescued, the rescuer becomes the obsession so that it is shared amongst all the survivors. 😂👍🏻
