Killer concept: the hive-mind
Name: the hive-mind (Russell Jackson)
Terror radius: 24 meters (varies)
Movement speed: 110% (varies)
Weapon: claws (varies)
Killer power: horde mentality
When looking at the legion I was really hoping for a character that had follower or some sense of helper that could help down survivors so here is the power: upon starting the match the hive-mind will be followed by 3 genetically enhanced zombies, Pessulum, mortiferum and vigilante, the player may switch between these zombies at anytime and any zombie not being controlled by the player will be controlled by an ai, while playing as the hive mind the player may stop these zombies at key points in the map to block off routes and defend generators, if an ai zombie spots a survivor they will initiate chase until either stunned by a pallet or if the chase persists longer then 35 seconds the zombie will then wait at that location (this helps prevent 3 gen situations being unbeatable) while playing as the hive-mind the player can let out a controlling shriek that calls all zombies to follow the hive-mind, zombies following the hive-mind will ignore survivors completely, only hive-mind and vigilante may carry and hook survivors, ai will not hook survivors.
The zombies:
Hive-mind: (scroll up)
Pessulum (Benjamin Lucas):
Terror radius: 32 meters
Movement speed: 115%
Weapon: broken piece of glass
Unique power: being slim and agile Pessulum vaults and breaks pallets 20% faster and gains bloodlust 15% faster, but due to his brittle nature stuns from pallets last 40% longer forcing the killer to try and mind game instead of chase mindlessly
Mortiferum (Akuma):
Terror radius: 16 meters
Movement speed: 105%
Weapon: sledgehammer
Unique power: being strong and vicious Mortiferum downs survivors in one hit, and when hit by his basic attack survivors gain the mangled affect and drop any item they were carrying, Mortiferum also recovers from pallet stuns 20% faster, despite seeming rather vicious Mortiferum is in no rush and cannot gain bloodlust
Vigilante(George Henry):
Terror radius: 24 meters
Movement speed: 110%
Weapon: broken metal ruler
Unique power: being incredibly mentally enhanced vigilante can see the auras of all survivors and pallets within 20 meters of him and can vault pallets at the speed of the legion once every 45 seconds, vigilante is not as strong as the other zombies, breaking pallets takes 25% longer
