New Killer- Doppleganger Ability and Perks done
The Doppleganger
His ability is called Identity Theft- you take the aura and appearance of a survivor, you stay that way until the copied survivor cleanses a totem, a gen gets completed, you get pallet stunned, blinded, or you decide to unassume the identity. While in survivor mode you can crouch, sprint, throw down pallets and work on gens, you cannot break pallets that you throw down, and when you work on a gen that gen regresses at 75% of the repair speed, and there are skill checks just like a survivor, great skill checks are 125% regression boost for 1s, and failed skill checks boost the gen by 125% for 1s. You may assume an identity at any time, but there is a 60sec cooldown for his ability, the cooldown does regress while in the ability, and you may transfer identity after the cooldown expires. Your terror radius is reduced by 80%.
His perks are:
Introverted-
After cleansing a totem, that survivor becomes obsession. You can see the obsessions aura outside a 80m(Tier 1) 60m(Tier 2) 30m(Tier 3) range. The obsession can see you inside that range.
Flip a Switch-
While a gen is regressing 1 (Tier 1) 2 (Tier 2) All (Tier 3) nearby (40m) progressing gens auras are highlighted yellow
And Isolating Presence-
Hex: while inside your terror radius the following effects occur
15s- dying survivors auras are hidden
30s- survivors become oblivious
60s- survivors lose the ability to hear anything other than their own noises and their heartbeat
These effects only apply to survivors within your terror radius.
If someone with more creativity in storytelling wants to give this killer a backstory, he/she is a hacker who specializes in guess what Identity Theft, and due to his/her skills, she accidentally finds an elusive internet cult or some thing that attracts the entities attention. I also haven't fleshed out character art, but I was thinking he/she had no face, just empty, or a mask that's the same thing. Anyways, I worked hard trying to balance the perks and ability, afterall, no one wants to get another spirit.

The idea for a killer that can look like a survivor is always an ambitious and pleasing idea. However, it couldn't work with the game. It would be useless against SWF and even solo queue survivors would catch on eventually.
Introverted just sounds like Object of Obsession for the killer, but with an obsession swap mechanic and OoO is always annoying when a survivor runs it, so I don't see much use for it.
Flip a Switch sounds like a less powerful Surveillance. I don't see why I'd use this over Surveillance.
Hex: Isolating Presence is probably the best idea here, but could use a bit more refinement.
Don't mean to sound like a jerk, you probably thought really hard about this, I'm just offering a bit of a critique. Keep at it and have fun.
