Chapter 19: In the Fields (with updated perks!)
So I am having a bit of issues writing the lore for these guys, and I kinda want to see what you amazing people of the forums think! So read through the power and perks, and I'd like to hear your ideas for lore!
I was thinking, for The Scarecrow, he was a child born into slavery during the colonization of America, and was owned by the Riora family, and for a cruel punishment he was forced to be nailed to a scarcrow post and wear a Scarecrow suit, and he died of starvation and overheating.
For Evelynn I was thinking she is part of the Riora family in modern day, and she runs a progressive business to help minorities.
I know its cheesy, but thats why I want your help!
Anyway, here's the concept.
Killer: The Scarecrow
Ability: Reap and Sow
-Effigies
Around the map, around interactibles, effigies of The Scarecrow spawn. When survivors walk within 10 meters of them (within line of sight) the effigy lets out a shrieks and will start moving towards the survivor (when the effigy shrieks it gets its own terror radius, and any perks relating to being in the terror radius, or perks releating to the killer looking in the survivors direction). After 3 seconds it dissapears. The shriek can be heard from across the map. If the effigy gets near the survivor it will swing its scythe and if the survivor is healthy, they will loose a health state, and if they are injured, gives them deep wounds.
Only 5 effigies can be active in the map at once, and at least 3 of them will be within 10 meters (in line of sight) of a generator. Once an effigy is activated, a new effigy spawns near an interactible. (Effigies do now activate when survivors are in lockers, being carried, or hooked. Effigies cannot spawn near a hooked survivor.)
-Effigy Mode and Harvest Mode
Pressing Lctrl activates effigy mode. When in effigy mode, you have no terror radius, and cannot move. When you press lctrl again you let out a shriek and start moving at 4.8 for 5 seconds or until you hit a survivor.
You must be in effigy mode for at least 5 seconds before you press lctrl. If you move instead of pressing lctrl you are slowed to 4.2 for 2 seconds.
Pressing m2 puts you in harvest mode. When in harvest mode you let out a shriek and your terror radius is changed to a much more shrill version. All effigies become active and start roaming for the duration of harvest mode. When in harvest mode you can hold m2 to charge a swipe. When swiping you swing your scythe infront of you and hit all survivors in 4 meters. Pressing Lctrl while in harvest mode starts a channel to teleport to an effigy. Once you teleport harvest mode ends. Harvest mode lasts for 30 seconds and has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Perks:
-Hex: Taste of Fear
When you hit a healthy survivor, gain a token. When you get 3 tokens your next attack against a healthy survivor will instantly down them. This perk can repeat itself.
-It can hear us
When a survivor goes under the exaughstion status effect their aura is revealed for 6/8/10 seconds.
-Hide and seek
When you loose a chase with a survivor, see their aura for 2 seconds. This perk has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
Survivor: Evelynn Riora
-Figure of Inspiration
Increased odds of becoming the obsession.
For each 10 seconds you are in chase with the killer as the obsession, all survivors get a 1/2/3% bonus to generator repairs. This effect persists for 3 seconds after the chase has ended, and can stack any number of times.
-Out of Harms Way
When you take a protection hit for an injured survivor, that survivor gets a 50% movement bonus, leaves no scratch marks or blood trails, and their aura cannot be read for 20 seconds.
-Determination
Your struggle phase while on a hook is increased by 10/20/30%
So this is kind of a repost, but I wanted to ask for your help! So hope you come up with some cool ideas! Happy Gaming!
