New Chapter: "Pennywise" From Stephen Kings "IT"
Overview
"Pennywise" is a new killer concept from the twisted mind of Stephen King, writer of the book "IT". The Idea for Pennywise is to bring confusion and to scatter the survivors.. Pennywise's perks ( You'll Float Too, Smell The Circus and Hex: Fear Itself) Put major pressure on the survivors to succeed or Pay the ultimate price..
Difficulty Rating: Medium
Lore
In the year 1960 in a little town in Maine called Derry.. Out on a rainy dark day George "Georgie" Denbrough went missing.. along with many other little children. Bill the brother of George lives with regret, blaming himself for not going to watch George's boat float with him and for his disappearance.. Together Bill and his 6 other friends "The Losers Club" catch on that a demon that poses as a child killing clown is behind the disappearances.. After fighting Pennywise and defeating him the club thinks it all over, little did they know Pennywise returns every 27 years to feast again.
Thirty years later the group reunites and defeats Pennywise once and for all, losing members of the group in the process. Pennywise was defeated and not to been heard of again..
Another 27 years pass and still nothing.. Until the survivors of the fog saw a red balloon floating toward the campfire then POP!. .. Not to mention in the fog.. time is irrelevant.. 27 years.. is every day.

Power: Your Deepest Fear
Pennywise's power is called "Your Deepest Fear"
When holding the Secondary Power Button, Pennywise morphs his shape to appear as a survivor not being used in the match, at the start of the match.. He emits no terror radius and walks the same speed as normal survivors but runs 5% slower..
Ballons: Pennywise places balloons on generators.. when a generator pops, so does the ballon, splashing blood on the survivor and causing the mangled effect for 15 seconds.
While shapeshifted Pennywise can work on generators (adding no progression as well as healing).. Pennywise can also see the auras of all survivors within a 27 meter range. When he leaves a generator or stops healing the progress will disappear after 5 seconds..
Pennywise can morph to his clown appearance at any time granting back his 5% speed. Pennywise automatically shapeshifts into the survivor who has been hooked. You do not see on your HUD when a survivor has been hooked... You only hear it.
Perks
You'll Float Too: LVL 30
- Tier 1: Uncommon
- Tier 2: Rare
- Tier 3: Very Rare
Your prescence alone brings fear and confusion to the survivors.. For every 7 seconds a survivor stares at you they slowly begin to fade in and out losing their vision.. This is a new status effect (Blackout) and lasts 1/3/5 seconds.. (See The New Status Effect Blackout Section!)
Smell The Circus: LVL 35
Tier 1: Rare
Tier 2: Very Rare
Tier 3: Very Rare
Fear of letting anyone escape engulfs you..while also giving the survivors false hope.. When a survivor steps within 10 meters of a marked generator, Smell The Circus activates, this causes the generator to be filled with a false 10% of Generator repair progress.. any survivor who touches this gen suffers the (Blackout) status effect... until the generator is completed.. once the generator is finished with it's false progress (100%).. It pops giving a visual alert to the killer also setting the gen to it's true (90%). 1/2/3 generators can be marked and applied with Smell the Circus.
Hex: Fear Itself: LVL 40
Tier 1: Rare
Tier 2: Very Rare
Tier 3: Very Rare
If a survivor is working on a generator the repair progress bar is hidden for.. 50/75/100% Generator completion.. And hitting a skill check grants no additional progress on the generator. This lasts until the Hex Totem is Destroyed. For every Totem destroyed before the Hex Totem Survivors suffer the Blackout effect for 20 seconds.
The New Status Effect (Blackout)
The New status effect Blackout, causes survivors to fade in and out and lose vision briefly..
Here is a Preview Image of what the new status effect (Blackout) Looks like through the eyes of the survivors..
(I envision this in game looking like LEGION coming out of Feral Frenzy and then the screen fading out anywhere from 2-6 seconds)
New map and Location
The new map is, The Sewer in the town of Derry, Maine. From the Movie and Novel "IT"

I really like this concept! The Power seems to be balanced out so it is not so op! Question, how do you make the perks?

Thanks Nate I really appreciate the feedback! And do you mean like the Icons?

Yeah the icons

Is the blackout status effect similar to that of the Doctor?

@Bingbonger, So to answer your question it is different from DR! I envisioned it as Legion coming out of Feral Frenzy and the screen sorta fading out for maybe 2-3 seconds..

@Wamps Ah ok, I like that better than what I first thought it would be. Overall I like the perks and ability of Pennywise, you have me sold.

@Bingbonger, excellent!!! Glad you like it!!

Love how much effort there is put into this. I would love a Stephen King chapter. I would prefer having the dark tower's the crimson king, who is a relative of pennywise, you should read the tower books. I love how you made your own icon for his power as well, so much attention to detail.

Really, REALLY, cool concept! I think the ability to blend in as one of the survivors would absolutely be the scariest thing in DBD to-date (I'm assuming the specific character would be random but would always be a clone of at least one of the survivors; so, you know, you could actually blend in). Excellent work!
One question: Killer's movement speed is 100% max (4.0m/s)? Or he's only at 95% (3.8m/s) movement speed while in Survivor form and returns to 115% (4.6m/s) when in Clown form so he can M1?

Hey @2ndBusiestmusicnerd, I'm very glad you like the concept! And yes I definitely should read the dark tower!! Appreciate the Kind Words!

@Zoophage, Thanks so much for the kind words! I really put into this! Be sure to to check out My guide for "The Nun" As well!
To answer your question He is at 95% while as a suvivor and returns to 115% when he returns to Pennywise! The scary thing about him I've come up with is, He starts in survivor form... So.. He get's survivor Spawn.. Say someone uses a shroud of binding (All Survivors spawn together) Or shroud of union (You spawn with one other survivor) Pennywise would get the survivor spawn and be included in that.. you could literally spawn right next to him.. 😮

@Wamps, I LOVE it! That sounds absolutely terrifying to suspect, or even know, that the killer is disguised and right next to you, seemingly harmless. This is phenomenal. I really hope BHVR listens to this; Hell, I hope they offer you a job in their creative department.

LOL! Thanks Zoo! I appreciate the kind words! It means a lot! 😎

SWF fundamentally breaks this Killer and the perks.
The blackout mechanic is cool tho. Seems like blinding the Killer but for Survivors in terms of impact.

I love the design but not the power. The balloon should indeed have some interaction and use. But the become. Other characters idea needs to be a little more thought out and potentially saved for a different characte.
I would potentially use lockers as his power, having him be able to concentral and teleport to them, like freddy does for gens.
Maybe use his balloons as an loop stopper, having them float and explode via proximity to a survivor, slowing them and covering them with blood.
These powers are simple but useful.
Maybe have his passive power that he always takes the appearance of a dead survivor (except they move in that twitchy way he does in the remake) just for added novelty.

I like most of the concept of this and it's really well thought out but I don't really like the power and the perks need some work on functionality.
For part of his power I would say a better option would be to allow him to either release balloons or tie them down to locations. The balloons emit a terror radius and if a survivor pops the balloon or comes to close to the balloon they get a little jump scare causing the killer to get am auditor que of where they are. The number of balloons would need to be played around with.
As for a second part of his power he could be able to hide in lockers and emit no terror radius. How freaking scary would it be to hear a locker open behind you and there he is😂😂
