The Groundskeeper / Caretaker - Original Killer idea.
The Groundskeeper / The Caretaker
Myles a proud 57 year old man and a retired trained Falconer, regularly visited his late wife's grave weekly, often bringing flowers and keeping the gravestone neat and dirt free. Having being recently diagnosed with incurable cancer and living on borrowed time, he longed to be with his wife again, in fact he embraced the thought of it. One day upon returning from a long session spent at the local hospital from discussing 'Potential options' to trial against his cancer with doctor's, he decided to visit his wife again, flowers in hand. Everything seemed as it normally was on his normal route to take to his wife's grave, several minutes in and he closes in on the direction of his wife's grave, Myles notices several disturbed flowerbeds and fresh muddy footprints several yards leading away from the graves in proximity, Myles breaks into a fast paced brisk movement, seconds later, he drops the bouquet of flowers and falls to his knees, crushing the bouquet under his weight. The grave had hastily been dug up, forced open by tools and ransacked by hand. Myles' wife jewelry had been taken, not just any jewelry, it was the ring's and necklace that once belonged to their 17 year old child who had tragically died while on a school skiing trip, Helen, Myles wife, Was a renowned fashion designer,having many of her creations being worn by popular celebrities at events. Helen, often seen wearing her daughter's jewelry on TV while alive, (which had been reforged with diamonds placed in). Myles Infuriated and fighting back tears, vowed to hunt down those responsible by any means necessary, he had nothing to lose now and would willingly bear any consequence, He grasped the nearby propped up shovel leaning on a nearby gravestone and gripped it tightly. Said one last goodbye to his deceased wife and turned away into the darkness that was the entity. (Bear with me on that story, i'm not a lore guy, but just getting the general gist of it across) XD
Ability
- Falconer's Will.
Myles, having worked and trained with most forms of birds of prey, instructs a Raven to rend the target's flesh, injuring them and applying mangled. 12m range, AOE targeted line similar to Pyramid head's ranged attack width. 12 second cooldown.
Bird's eye view
Toggle to gain a bird's eye view of the map (Think Senu in assassin creed), similar to doctor's static blast radius, but in viewable map form. Any survivor near a crow (15 meters) will be highlighted by an aura, Press the active ability and this crow will hover around that survivor's head for 6 seconds, Squawking 3 times, showing an aura every 2 seconds. Immediately exit bird's eye view and gain increased movement speed for 10 seconds. 30 second cooldown after targeting survivor's.
Grave Error
Scattered around the map are 4 gravestones, all connected via tunnel system, The groundskeeper can interact with these gravestones while in proximity to begin travelling to another gravestone further away. Survivor's can destroy a gravestone with a toolbox, one purple quality or multiple lesser quality toolboxes to completely destroy it. These gravestones are highlighted yellow for the killer.
Perks:
Murder of Crows - Disturbing a crow with any rushed movement places exposed on the target for 30 seconds. Can not be triggered while in a chase with the killer. Shows aura of the disturbed crow and the survivor for 3 seconds , survivor screams. 30 second cooldown.
Planned Funeral - Obsession perk, While your obsession is hooked, all survivor's are incapacitated for up to 10 seconds, gain undetectable for 60 seconds.
Avian Guardian - When you kick a generator, instantly regress it by 8%, places a crow in the vicinity. If a survivor interacts with the kicked gen, the crow will squawk, startling the survivor, causing a gen explosion , resulting in an extra 10% instant regression. 45 second cooldown.
Design wise, maybe something like this for a theme but with a sharpened shovel and a crow on his shoulder as an indicator for survivor's for when he has his Falconer's will ability available. (Believe this is some concept art from Witcher 3)

Perks:
Murder of Crows - so kinda like Spies of the Shadows, but with an insta-down, cool
Planned Funeral - cool, maybe too much undetectable
Avian Guardian - a much better overcharge, while the surivor cant do anything to prevent the explosion -> not really fair
Ability:
Falconer's Will - probaly needs a bigger cooldown
Bird's eye view - cool
Grave Error - cool

Murder of Crows - Maybe any rushed action that disturbs a crow while in your terror radius, would be better for the rest to apply.
Planned Funeral - Yeah maybe 30-45 seconds, had 60 seconds in mind seeing as you had to hook the obsession.
Avian Guardian - Maybe a tremendously hard skill check once startled.
