Biography.
No one knows where and how long ago this creature came into the world. Even Doppelganger himself does not remember this. According to his own feelings, he flutters his miserable existence from time immemorial. He has no tasks, no goals, no purpose and even no name. He prefers to call himself Abel. All his time Doppelganger devoted to the search for successful and not very people whose life can be ruined. Thanks to his abilities of unknown origin, Doppelganger is able to take on the appearance of any living creature. This was discovered completely by chance when, during the Battle of Kadesh, in search of food, he accidentally stumbled upon an Egyptian warrior - a spear-bearer, who, frightened by the disgusting appearance of Doppelganger, tried to stab him. And not surprisingly - the creature was a small, skinny body with an ugly face, a mouth full of sticking sharp teeth and dim eyes of skill. In the struggle for his life, Doppelganger knocked out a spear from a soldier and pressed him to the ground. Suddenly, he felt metamorphoses in his body, and when the rivals stood up from the ground in readiness to continue the battle, the soldier looked amazingly at himself smiling, holding a spear directed directly into his heart.
After this incident, Abel realized that his miserable life, previously spent in search of roots and hunting small animals, hiding in the mountains and forests, could play with new colors. Now he could become anyone, albeit only for a while, but this time was enough to ruin a person's life by substituting him. Most of all, he liked in the guise of an unfortunate man to kill in the most cruel ways noble persons in front of witnesses.
However, this could not continue forever. In the 1380s, Doppelganger did not calculate the time and turned into his true form in the presence of the king. And again he was paralyzed by the already forgotten insane fear, as in the days when he was forced to hide from random travelers in the forests. At the same moment, by order of the monarch, the ancient creature was chopped up with sabers and axes.
He opened his eyes and saw nothing but a thick fog enveloping the entire visible space. "Is this hell?" he thought. From a whisper in his head, Abel shuddered: "These are your personal hunting grounds. Do not thank "- creaked in response. The fog dissipated, and it ended up in a dark forest in the vicinity of a dilapidated fortress. In the distance, silhouettes of a small group of bewildered people were seen. The disgusting mouth curved in a grin, exposing the crooked teeth.
Power - Metamorph.
Natural data is not a sentence.
Doppelganger is able to take the form of survivors and some objects, such as generators, lockers and hooks, for some time.
Press the right mouse button at a distance of at least 1 m from the injured survivor or object to take its shape for 45 seconds. The caught survivor is placed on the side of the location opposite to the place of activation of the ability, while obtaining the effect of "Deep wound," periodically feeling the terror of the killer with different intensity. The aura of this survivor is visible to the killer until he pays or the Deep Wound timer expires. At the same time, the inverted killer does not have a radius of terror and can freely move around the location without the possibility of interacting with objects (in the form of a survivor). When interacting with a generator, locker or hook, Doppelganger replaces a true object.
If there is an attempt to interact with the killer by the survivor (treatment, breakdown, repair, entrance to the locker), Doppelganger will instantly take a true form, receiving the "Deafening" effect for 3 seconds. After 45 seconds after the ability is activated or when the right mouse button is pressed, the killer takes its true form without the "Deafening" effect.
Training Skills:
1). Secretive existence.
Years of secretive life have taught you to get lost in the crowd.
If the generator is repaired by two or more survivors, the killer loses the terror radius by 10 (20) (30) seconds, while all generators that have been repaired for more than 5 seconds and are not currently broken are highlighted. The radius of terror also returns when a survivor or miss is successfully hit.
2). The power of mind.
For successful hunting, there are not enough tapes, claws and teeth. Mind and tactics are the best weapon.
At the very beginning 2 (3) (4) generators are sabotaged. When survivors interact with such generators for every 33% of repairs, the killer receives 1 token. Each token increases the rate of breakage of boards/generators, crossing obstacles, raising/dropping a survivor and transporting him in a "death" state by 3%.
3). A slick hunter.
It is always necessary to corner your prey.
You become obsessed with one survivor. When an object of obsession is injured, it cannot interact with the boards for 20 (25) (30) seconds. The impossibility of interaction extends only to the object of obsession. When you change the object of obsession, the ability extends to the new obsession.
Improvements.
Gray - "Worker's clothes." This inconspicuous sacrifice was not so useless.
When using the Metamorph ability on the hook, the auras of survivors located within a radius of 36 m from objects are highlighted to you for 3 seconds.
Yellow - "Sharpened Claws." Always keep your weapon ready.
Moderately increases the lathing time of the Survivor, who received a "Deep Wound" after applying the Metamorph ability.
Green - "Mind Stimulator." Progress in science also benefits ancient creatures.
Significantly increases the time the killer is able to take the form of Survivors/Objects.
Purple - "Skirmish Boots." In any fairy tale there is a share of the truth.
By 10 seconds, significantly increases the speed of movement of the killer after stunning when leaving the Metamorph state.
Rainbow - "Fragment of an ancient spear." Not nostalgia, but a tribute to the first sacrifice among people.
Reveals the ability to kill Survivors if they are affected by the Deep Wound effect, as a result of the use of the Metamorph ability.
Memento-mori - Abel lashes out at the lying Survivor from the back, pulls the victim's head back, momentarily taking its shape, then, in his appearance, smiling, makes a deaf dig at the victim's ear and cuts his throat with his claws.
