Killer Journals

You think any killers in the realm keep detailed entries or stories from their side? Like, maybe they try to make maps to navigate the trials, give theories on why they aren't allowed through hatches or exit gates, make little profiles about fellow killers and explain stuff like add ons and perks from their perspective? Like, are they aware of them as little pieces the Entity plucks from their home world to inspire them? Are they aware of perks as abilities the Entity bestows upon them?

    "Entry 12,780,452

    The Entity's gotten mad at me again. I tried to kill a survivor without a mori and it got all cranky and impaled ANOTHER hook through my right shoulder. It's so inconsiderate sometimes, I swear >:(

    I keep telling it that trying to handle beartraps without proper motor function is extremely dangerous, slow and ineffective, and it could always torture me psychologically once in a while if it really wants to, but I guess it's just happy with EVERY Survivor escaping nowadays! I swear, there are sometimes I kill all the Survivors it gives me and I still haven't met my "quota", and other times when I don't kill anyone and it's fine! I think this spider jerk is just making all this up as it goes along.

    And does IT try to look inwards as to what it might be doing wrong?! Noooooo! I can't count the amount of times I've seen a survivor ON A HOOK still being able to hold its tendrils back from sacrificing it, I mean seriously?! This is supposed to be a TEAM EFFORT but I always feel like I'm being held responsible for everything.

    Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to give an intro this time, diary, I guess I'm just mad. You're always here to help me cool off, though! You and the ink for this thing are worth every Bloodpoint!"


    Okay, even though that was satirical, I wouldn't mind a Benedict Baker-esque perspective from the Killer's POV. IMO some avenues would be:

    -If a new original Killer is a Survivor turned Killer, some kind of log entry like Baker's would be nice

    -Legion getting some audio logs or similar of their early days in the Entity's realm

    -The Archives covering the early memories of a Killer in the Entity's realm

    However, I would like to note that a straight-up diary entry like I portrayed above wouldn't really work as the Entity presumably likes its Killers as dehumanised as they can be while still being effective. I imagine it'd gently discourage keeping proper records to try and maintain their humanity.

    Most of the killers don't seem like they would approach the trials from logical standpoint. How should I put it? They driven more by bloodlust and instincts. Maybe, except for Ghostface - he looks like a type of guy who gets prepared for killing.
