When you hook a survivor the gen with the most progress explodes and regresses 5,8,10% reward me for doing chases and hooking. Basically undo the progress they got just because I had to pick them up and carry them to a hook costing pressure and time

Killer Perk: Achievement Termination (still working on the name)
You are appalled by your enemies’ progress.

Achievement Termination has a cooldown of 80/70/60 seconds.

For one of my killer ideas, i had this as one of my perk ideas.
Double Cross: You work alone, and anyone who trusts you doesn't know what's coming.
Kicking a generator activates Double Cross. The gen will regress at 100% for 25/35/45 seconds. If a survivor interacts with the gen during this period, the gen will instantly regress for double the amount that was regressed at normal speed. This perk has a cooldown of 70/60/50 seconds.
The way this perk works is that when you kick a generator (nothing else but kicking activates it similar to Pop), this perk activates for 45 seconds. During these 45 seconds, it will regress a generator at normal regression speed (100%). But, if at any survivor clicks or interacts with the generator during the 45 seconds of this perks duration, the perk will deactivate, and instantly regress double the amount of regression that occured during the 45 seconds. Example: the perk is active for 22 seconds but a survivor interacts with it. Instantly the perk will disable, and the generator will lose an extra 22 seconds amount of regression. The counter for this perk comes in two ways.
1) when you see the killer with this perk kick a generator, tap the gen as fast as possible. This will cancel the perk and cause it to do very minimal damage.
2) Wait out the 45 seconds. Once the 45 seconds are up, the perk disables and the generator would have only lost 45 seconds worth of regression. If you click the gen at any point during the perks activation, you risk causing the gen to lose a large amount of progress. If you click the gen while the perk has been active for 40 seconds, the gen will instantly lose another 40 seconds of regression.

I was working on a doppelganger story concept and this was my favorite one.
Hex: Supervision
Years of catching students passing notes and cheating on tests have given you a sixth sense for when people are trying to get one over on you.
Any survivor aura shared with each other is now shared with you if greater than 28/20/16 meters away. This does not apply to auras generated by a dying state. (Or hook state. One or the other, can't decide which would make more sense. Maybe doesn't apply to hook state to have bbq synergy.)

Tit for tat
Your legs are tired, your mind is numb. All the pallets are gone and no gens are done.
Being in chase for an accumulation of 2 minutes reveals to both killer and survivor the aura of any survivor who has not completed a gen in that time span. That survivor is also exposed until a gen is completed. The perk user gains an endurance effect until a gen is completed.

Can only think of one but..
Maniac: The feeling for insanity is less than none, And you will make sure of it: After you injure a Survivor, They're afflicted with Maniac, Causing their skillchecks to pop up randomly all over their screen, Missing a Skillcheck will cause a Survivor to Scream. Revealing their Location to the Killer, Maniac will lose the Affect if they're Healed to Full,
Has a Cooldown of 40/30/25

Killer perk: Desperation
As the end draws closer, you grow angrier and desperate at the thought of your prey escaping.
You start the trial with 1 token. For every generator completed, gain a token up to a maximum of 2/3/4 tokens. For each token, after kicking a generator, increase that generators regression speed by 25% up to a maximum of 100%.
I'm well aware this is a weaker version of ruin but I think it would be nice to have a gen regression perk that can't be destroyed within the first 30 seconds of the match and is entirely in your control. Combine this PGTW, brutal strength, and Fire up, the survivors are gonna have a difficult time getting those last two gens done if you pressure properly.

Hope the dev consider some of these ideas

Survivor Perk - Catch Me If You Can
Exhaustion Perk
When being chased you receive lightbringer points for ever gen completed equivalent to the time spent in chase would be the amount of repair points you would also receive.
When a gen is completed in chase, receive burst of moral for 3 seconds(sprint burst) with a cooldown of 30 seconds at tier 3.
This was inspired by the latest New Year event where we all would receive bonus BP for ever gen completed with an offering. It was nice when a killer would get tunnel vision and constantly being chased to get those points as one doesn't have a choice if the killer only has eyes for them.

Killer Perk - Slap Happy
Basic Perk
Kicking a Gen will grant an extra 5% regression of the generators progress.
No cooldown as this would basically be an anti-gen tap perk and give reasons for killers to kick a gen. I also think this should be a basic perk as new killers are completely without any gen regression perks unless they buy a dlc or hope it shows up on the shrine which can take significantly longer than it takes for a killer to rank up quickly.

Eyes and Ears: See and hear all noise notifications that the killer does. This has a cool down of 50/40/30 seconds.

Repairer: A survivor can rebuild a pallet or breakable wall, it takes 30/25/20 seconds and has a cool down of 180 seconds.

Stunning a killer with a pallet causes them to be stunned for an extra 50/75/100% duration, you do not leave scratch marks for 6 seconds

Once all Generators have been powered, you gain the ability to recover from the dying state, the ability to heal yourself without a medkit, your grunts of pain are silenced and you no longer scream due to killer powers. Return from the Darkness causes you to not become the obsession, if you become the obsession anytime during the match the perk does not activate, when you are the obsession you suffer from the exposed status effect.
Struggle; You're not going down without a fight
Replaces the killer pick up animation with a lengthy struggle between the survivor and killer, it lasts for 5/10/15 seconds. Struggle causes exhaustion, Struggle can not be used while exhausted
Emergency Firearm; You never enter a trial without it.

Hitting a killer causes them to stagger for 1/2/3 seconds, they can not be stunned while performing an action or carrying a survivor.
Hiding in plain sight; Improvisation hasn't failed you yet
When within the killer's terror radius and not in a chase, the killer can not see your aura, you're breathing is silenced, and you don't leave scratch marks. When a chase is started the killer can see your aura for ten seconds and you suffer from the hindered status effect
Killer Perks:
Hemophilia; Hit them where it hurts
Injured survivors suffer from the hemorrhaging status effect, once fully healed they bleed as if they were injured, they stop bleeding hooked, this perk triumphs all other perks that prevent bleeding

You gain 100% more bloodpoints for actions in the sacrifice category, for each survivor you kill add a 25% bloodpoint bonus up to 50/75/100%. Escaping survivors do not count against you for emblems.
Eat Dirt; Put them on the ground and let them think you're gone
After downing a survivor, gain the undetectable status effect, this effect goes away after 30 seconds, after you take an offensive action, or after you interact with the downed survivor.
Hide and Go Seek; Your ears have attuned to the subtle squeaks of doors
When a survivor exits a locker, you can see their aura for 5/7/9 seconds.
Effigy Sculptor; You've seen the entity, and have crafted crude imitations to watch over you bloodshed
Spawns 5 effigies around the map
Effigies replace totem spawns, and can not have hexes associated with them
When a survivor is within 10/15/20 meters of an effigy and are injured during a chase, they suffer from the Oblivious, Mangled, Hemorrhaging, Incapacitated, and Exhausted Status effect.
Effigies do not appear on maps and their auras can not be read
If all Effigies are broken then Survivors gain a 20% boost to repair speed
Effigies being broken do not count as totems for gameplay purposes (Ex: Inner Strength)
Close Behind You; Your presence alone instills paranoia, and survivors better check their backs and corners
When in a chase with another survivor, your terror radius can be heard by all survivors.
This does not affect killer power (Ex: Doctor) but perks and addons related to terror radius will still activate

I would like to instead make a few addons for ghostface because he needs some
IRIDECSENT (or however you say it) CAMERA
A camera made from a strange material that is as sharp as a knife, looking at it unlocks great power within the Ghost Face.
When you mark the same survivor twice, their aura is seen when they are working on a generator, cleansing a totem, or healing themselves for 50 seconds.
INCRIMINATING COMPUTER
A computer holding the identity of The Ghost Face, and other information that was found in pieces in the house of Jed Olsen.
Tremendously increases the time it takes to mark a survivor.
Tremendously increases the time the survivor is marked.
GLASS DISC
A disc that has a documentary that speculates who the Ghost Face is, when shown to the cops, nobody believed it.
For each survivor who has been marked or is marked, the time it takes to mark a survivor from cover is considerably reduced, up to a maximum of tremendously reduced.
the first two are ultra rare addons and will replace the ones gf has right now, the last one is a purple addon.

Survivor Perk: Entity's Apathy
After years of watching the endless torture of survivors, the entity begins to grow bored of the same old story.
Once per match while on your first hook press the active ability button while the killer is within 20 metres of the hook to have the entity place you on a different hook. This can include basement, nearby, or broken hooks and if a hook was broken, it will immediately be fixed upon being placed on one. The hook's aura will not be shown to the killer for the next 12/14/16 seconds. This will result in you becoming the obsession.
This increases your chances of being the obsession.

New status effect: Imminent Danger
When afflicted by this status effect, the survivors can be killed.
True Obsession:
Your dedication to killing a specific survivor makes you take a different approach.
You become obsessed with one survivor.
Your Obsession is Exposed.
Prevents the obsession from changing.
When you hook a survivor, you gain a token. When a generator is completed, you consume all the tokens. For each token, all survivors within 36 meters of the Obsession when the generator is completed become afflicted with the Imminent Danger status effect for 20/25/30 seconds.
If a survivor is killed with the help of True Obsession, the perk deactivates for 90 seconds.

Blood Oath - Pressing the active ability key allows you to unhook yourself during the struggle phase. Grants you 6/8/10 seconds of endurance. After using this perk, you will be immediately sacrificed the next time you enter the dying state.
I really like the idea of "a survivor that treats the Entity as a higher power/god" that has a bunch of perks with drawbacks!

I dont have a name for it and I have recently thought about another killer perk to help in chase and that would synergize with such. When being stunned by any means. IE DS pallets wiggle out your movement speed is increase by .2/.4/.6 for 30 seconds. Bloodlust cannot activate while the perk is active. Cooldown of 180/120/60 seconds.

This is a concept from a Mothman killer, which I will upload separately.
Perk 1: Dread Sense
A deep bond with the entity unlocks extreme precision in your aura-reading ability.
Aura-reading ranges are increased by 4/6/8 meters.
"The beast... it watches from afar, with evil intent." -Vigo
Perk 2: Chilling Foresight
Your ability to predict tragedy helps greatly in the entity's realm.
While affected by the Undetectable status effect, any generators above 50% are highlighted White. Gain 25%/50%/75% more Bloodpoints in the Deviousness Category.
"It seems to predict us, always ones step ahead." -Vigo
Perk 3: Hex: Interference
You leave a trail of discord and distrust in your travels.
When a survivor is hit with a basic attack, up to a number of 2 survivors, the survivor will be graced with a stroke of bad luck. Whenever a survivor interacts with a generator while affected by Hex: Interference, the generator will explode and cause the generator to lose 15% progress. Gain 25/50/70% more Bloodpoints in the Destruction category.
"Those who feel it's touch are left with a reminder of it's presence." -Vigo

Survivor perk: hands off
Gain the ability to push other survivors off of you while being healed or unhooked

that would cause way too many issues with the unhooking. You can already stop a heal by pressing the sprint button. But being able to kick someone off of a save will cause far too many issues.

Calming Hum - A toggleable perk that calms and aids allies around you.
Description: Your soothing voice brings peace and serenity to those who gather.
Ability: Press A on controller and E on keyboard to toggle a soft hum, audible within 15/12/10 meters by killer and 8/12/15 meters by survivors. When activated, injured survivors will slowly heal if not in a chase (takes 40/35/30 seconds). Increases your chance to be the obsession.
Uses: Survivors can passively heal while doing other actions. To have a counter, it is able to be heard by the killer. Being hit will disable Calming Hum for 30 seconds. The idea is to be able to not focus on healing and to relieve gen pressure.

"Unlikely Ally"
Throughout the Trial, the Entity has taken a strange liking towards you. When on death hook, the next time you are hooked the Entity will revert your hook state back to the second hook state. This perk is deactivated if you are the last survivor. This perk can only be used once per trial. This perk will not prevent you from being sacrificed if you have been sacrificed after not being unhooked.
Greatly increases your chances of becoming the obsession.
"Wait...is this b!tch for real? Hell yeah!"

REWORKED RUIN (Assuming ruin became an in game mechanic)
The entity has taken pleasure in your offerings of the lives of the survivors and wishes to lend you a hand for all hex totems still on the map after you hook each survivor once the remaining (1,2,3) hex totems now become protected by the entity until the end game collapse has started. Once this perk activates the effects remain while the perk is randomly changed to a new perk.
"The entity looks upon my devotion and rewards me for my efforts. I shall hunt for the pleasure of the entity, and provide a show worth watching."
REWORKED DEJAVU
You have been through hell and back, too many times to count; been killed too many times to remember. This engraves you to have a better sense of what is going on around you. Generators now show progression from 16/20/30 meters away.
