CHAPTER CONCEPT: FENG SHUI
I am from the Philippines, and we had an era where Horror movies were in stride, movie after movie. cut to the chase, we have a classic horror movie cult entitled "Feng Shui", it tells about an old chinese anitque "bagua" became the reason for bad luck and death in their houses. (PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IM JUST WRITING IT RIGHT NOW THROUGH TRAIN OF THOUGHTS, so it wont slip my mind. I have not worked out on everything, please bear with me :D )
New Killer: Lotus Feet
Name: N/A
Realm: Chinatown, Manila
Power: Unfortunate Luck
Weapon: Bagua
Movement Speed: (slower than usual? since Lotus feet cannot walk fast)
Terror Radius: (it would smaller due to its speed limit)
Height: Average
Backstory: (According to wikipedia, this is the backstory of lotus feet) The bagua was once owned long ago by two siblings—brother and sister—children from a wealthy Chinese family in ancient Shanghai. During the revolution of Sun Yat-sen, the family was forced to evacuate, wherein the brother abandoned his foot-bounded sister, nicknamed "Lotus Feet", referencing to the Chinese tradition of binding the feet of young girls to avert it's physical growth. Because the brother had thought of her as a burden, her servants had betrayed her and killed her by burning her at the stake. Before her death, she took the bagua and placed a curse on it, claiming that she will take the soul of anyone who sees their reflection on the mirror.
Power: Unfortunate Luck
Lotus feet can teleport through Baguas located strategically on the map. She can also use these mirrors to have an xray vision within a medium diameter of circle on her vision near bagua (so its like a nurse, but with bbq & chili, within the diameter of bagua). She will be having a maximum of 3 or 4 baguas. To nerf it, i was thinking that it should be broken by a survivor before lotus feet can get back her baguas.
Secondary attack: Unlucky Paper Couplets: The couplets are instantly placed on the back of survivor upon attack. This will cause small skill checks on generators and med kits causing the chance of fail skilled checked, unless, another survivor takes it off for you.
Perks:
Chilling Wind: When a survivor get hooked, all the survivors within a certain radius near the hooked survivor screams.
HEX: Powerful Curse V.1: Finished Generators can be damaged to at least 10/20/30% unless the hex is cleansed
HEX: Powerful Curse V.2: Generators will be instantly blocked upon reaching 99% causing to burst, and 3/4/5% regressed (cannot be damaged by killer as well) and cannot be finished unless the hex is cleansed. Can be stacked with HEX:Ruin.
HAUNTED IMAGE: An image of killer without the red stain is shown whenever she is 10/15/20 near generator.
New Survivor: Joy Ramirez
Role: Homemaker
Backstory: (WIKIPEDIA) While on a bus, Joy Ramirez finds a package left by a man. She visits Aling Biring at the bakery and shows her the package: an antique bagua mirror. Following feng shui tradition, Biring thinks that the mirror will drive away evil spirits and bring good luck to her husband Inton and their children Denton and Ingrid .
Joy places the bagua mirror in her home and a series of fortunate events happen: her friend Alice grants her a promotion and she wins the grand prize at a grocery store. The series of events makes Joy suspicious of her luck. The next day, Joy recognizes the man who left the mirror on the bus, identified as Evart Mendoza, was run over by a Rabbit Liner bus. She discovers that he was born in the year of the Rabbit after she examines his age. Later, Joy learns that Aling Biring died from leptospirosis that morning; her birth corresponding to the year of the Rat. Denton's friend Billy tells Joy about the omens and deaths occurring in their neighborhood. Joy sees tricycle driver Mang Nestor, who was killed earlier in a brawl at a cockfight, having been born in the year of the Rooster. She is later haunted by the ghosts of Nestor, Biring, Evart, and a woman. Their deaths are connected to the Chinese zodiac of their birth year.
Joy visits Evart's wife Lily, who tells her about the bagua's history; Lily found the bagua in an old, dilapidated rental house during her years as a real estate agent and decided to keep it. The artifact brought her good luck, but like Joy, also left a series of deaths. Lily reveals that anyone who owned the bagua would receive good fortunes, but for each stroke of luck, a death would always follow afterward. She urges Joy to return the mirror to her instead, but the latter refuses and leaves. Later, after Joy accepts an inheritance from her late client, she learns that the subdivision's security guard, whose reflection he had seen in the bagua mirror, has been found dead from a snakebite. The security guard was revealed to be born on the year of the Snake.
Joy, along with Alice and their friend Thelma, seeks help from a local geomancer Hsui Liao. Liao reveals to them that the bagua was once owned long ago by two siblings—brother and sister—children from a wealthy Chinese family in ancient Shanghai. During the revolution of Sun Yat-sen, the family was forced to evacuate, wherein the brother abandoned his foot-bounded sister, nicknamed "Lotus Feet", referencing to the Chinese tradition of binding the feet of young girls to avert it's physical growth. Because the brother had thought of her as a burden, her servants had betrayed her and killed her by burning her at the stake. Before her death, she took the bagua and placed a curse on it, claiming that she will take the soul of anyone who sees their reflection on the mirror. Liao warns Joy that if she tries to destroy the mirror, the soul of the owner will be taken away before it restores itself.
Before they leave, Alice realizes that she had glanced at the mirror earlier. Having suspected her husband's affair with his former lover Dina at work, Joy begrudgingly confronts him. She later realizes after accepting the prize from the day she won at the grocery store earlier, revealing that Alice was next. After an argument, Alice, who was born in the year of the Horse, is assaulted by a drunk neighbor and dies after falling on a stack of crates of Red Horse Beer bottles from her window. The ghosts of all the victims haunt Joy's house and her family is forced to leave. Joy attempts to destroy the mirror, but is stopped by Alice's spirit. Joy eventually faints, overwhelmed by all the ghosts.
The next morning, Master Liao calls Joy and tells her the key to end the curse: she must reject offers of good luck so that she would be able to destroy the mirror and save the next victim. Just before they leave, Billy gets involved in an accident and Joy volunteers for a blood transfusion to save him. She then realizes that Inton is the next victim. Joy arrives at the motel where Inton and Dina are to warn the former but she arrives too late as Dina's husband Louie arrives at the parking lot and kills his wife and Inton when they attempted to flee, both born in the year of the Dog. Joy pleads Louie as both of them were cheated on by their spouses and tried to help him, but Louie refuses as he commits suicide with his shotgun. Meanwhile, Thelma takes Denton and Ingrid with her in the hopes of taking them to their mother. Thelma sees a truck of cows and chickens in front of her car. She comes to the realization that Ingrid was born in the year of the Rooster, and Denton and herself were both born on the year of the Ox. Horrified, Thelma tries to alert the truck but an oncoming vehicle speeds towards them.
Joy arrives home and is greeted by Regalado, a lawyer sent by Lily to offer Joy the chance of returning the bagua to her in exchange for money. Joy refuses the offer. Distraught by the string of deaths that followed her, Joy finally destroys the mirror. Thelma arrives with Denton and Ingrid. Joy is filled with relief thinking that she has finally broken the curse and saved her kids, but she soon discovers that they were all killed earlier in the truck accident along with Thelma after she saw her dead husband joining with them as Joy screams in horror.
(additional line to connect to DBD) She half-fainted through purest fear, but before she closes eyes, she saw a fog enveloping throughout the area, leaving no trail of her body.

Map Concept:
I was thinking of more like a shop street kind of look. with two floors buildings like haddonfield.
Imagine the terror radius sound is creepy. Then the CLASSIC SCREAM when MORI'ed.
Even I get chills. HAHAA
P.S. Please dont send hates on my concept. The concept were just a train of thought. Something that can be useful in the future for the dev, probably hehe.
