A good idea for lore diversity
I was wondering ; we have a lot of killers coming straight from differents periods
Plague : Antiquity
Oni: Medieval times
DeathSlinger : ~1850
Huntress : ~1914
Demogorgon: 80's
Doctor Spirit Wraith Hillbilly : Modern Days i guess
But we dont have such diversity from survivors, i mean the oldest one is Laurie Strode if im right , from the end of 70's. Why ? Because an ancient person cant make gens ?
I would love so much to see survivors from elder times, a greek athlete, a mayan princess, a or medieval guy whatever else
This could be a good idea dev's
Love

This would be a great idea!
Some people said that having survivors from before the time of generators knowing how to fix them would be odd, but in this realm there's every chance a new survivor could be given this skill inheritantly by The Entity, in order to give them more hope, resulting in a tastier snack. I cannot imagine every survivor was a mechanic prior to abduction.
Personally, I'd love a Mayan or Ancient Egyptian survivor.

Considering that the killers all understand that gens=exit gates, no matter the period they're from, why wouldn't older survivors learn it too?
Side note: I always felt that Carter (the doctor) was from the 40s or 50s.

The man he's based on, Yang Yongxin, started practicing around the mid-2000s, and does so to this day as far as I'm aware. It's possible that the character could be from an earlier time, of course, although I have heard that the Doctor was originally supposed to be Yang Yongxin but they couldn't do that for legal reasons.

Really? I had no idea nor had heard of this man before so I always assumed he was based off of Mkulta experimental "doctors"

Doctor's Archive mentions MKULTRA, along with two lesser known CIA projects, MKDELTA and MKSEARCH, the latter of which began in 1964. Fellow forum member Rattman found that Léry's Memorial Institute was condemned in 1983. So you were kind of close.
He was ABSOLUTELY based on Yang Yongxin though. Before he was African American Herman Carter, he was Chinese Mu Yi. Censorship reasons caused him to be changed.

He's African-American? Well, shiver me timbers, yet another thing I didn't know!

I just googled this man and Jesus Christ. The fact that this went on for so long unnoticed and was so brutal is terrifying.
