So hello again guy's and this time I am back with another chapter concept, BUT this is my first fan made chapter concept so with that all out of the way, I will go over some bits of killer and survivor lore, but first, I'll Start off with the Killer's lore.

Dodge Hackathon "The Grave Digger" was born to the very Morbid kind of pairing that is Hamill and Maisy Hackathon. Throughout each part of his life, throughout school, throughout his home, he always told his parents, " why do we live the way we do?" with the answer of course, being punishment. And by punishment, for Dodge, meant escape. For each punishment, meant that Dodge would have to help his elderly grave digger with the cemetery that is "The Rill's Forest Side Cemetery". But why escape he must say, he felt like throughout each day of returning to this Cemetery, whether if it's him being punished by his parents for his troubles, or just simply going to the Cemetery for amusement, it was always that elderly Grave Digger that kept bringing him back to this place.

About 30 years in the future, where Dodge is now living on his own, he got a call from an old friend of his. This was regarding The Grave Digger from the cemetery, with getting the unfortunate call that he passed away.

Dodge and his parents, who lived in the same town Dodge lived in, went up to the funeral. And this moment, the exact moment, where he got out of his car and saw everyone mourning in disbelief of his passing, Broun a tear down his eyes.

After the Funeral, after everyone left, after his parents went back home, Dodge stayed.

With looking at the fresh patch of dirt that was The old Grave diggers grave, he sought to Himself...

"Could he be alive?"

"He can't be dead?"

"What was the reasoning behind his death?"

All this started corrupting throughout his mind faster than a hurricane, but then he saw the Grave Digger's old shed.

But then it struck him.

The Grave Digger always said, "Sheds are for tools, not for toys".

But he thought to himself, "Sure old man, sure".

So Dodge opened the racketed door of the shed, seeing something he had always wanted to hold in his hands but never came right down to be, the exact thing that the Old Grave Digger used to bury the bodies of many people throughout the cemetery...

His Shovel.

Without Remorse, he grabbed the shovel then looked back at the pile of dirt, wanting to see what happened to the old Grave Digger. Then without perseverance, without Hostility, He had dig up the grave, and opened the coffin.

Nothing There.

But then he fell, not into the grave, but through the grave.

The first thing Dodge saw when he woke up, was a tunnel.

A tunnel that went through the entire cemetery, even under the graves of the dead.

Defending himself from other dangers, he still had his shovel, still ready to crave any harmful being in his way.

But when investigating the tunnels throughout the cemetery, he saw it, he saw the old Grave Digger, standing right their. But just before Dodge was going investigate the truth, he disappeared, but right behind him, and took an old mallet, and knocked Dodge out like a fly to a flyswatter.

Dodge woke up unconscious, in a place in the tunnels that never seemed to be before.

But he saw a Body.

A body that moved.

A body that stood.

A body of a dead.

Dodge tried to run away but then he was cornered by more of these dead monstrosities.

Then he saw the old Grave Digger, With Hamill and Maisy Hackathon themselves.

Dodge wanted to know the truth as to what was happening the whole time, but then Hamill explained:

"When you always used to ask those questions of why we are the way we are, it is because of our relationship with the undead". "Especially with the undead of this cemetery", Maisy added.

"We didn't want you knowing the truth, because knowing you, you would have told the whole town about us, and in this 2000th century, they could have had us LOCKED UP!" THAT IS WHY WE PUNISHED YOU, BECAUSE YOU KNEW, YOU KNEW IT ALL, AND WE DON'T EXCEPT HUMAN BEINGS THAT KNEW IT ALL, ALL OF IT!", said Hamill, being very hostile.

Then Dodge thought to himself, "I have been a bad being all this time, haven't I?.

With a reply from the old Grave Digger, No, it's just that you have been decomposing all of us down, inside.

But then his parents disappeared into thin air, like dust, and so did the Living Dead.

Dodge was at the point where these mind games needed to stop over taking him, to a point where he couldn't control his anger out anymore. So he took The Old Grave Digger's shovel, and then shoved the Grave Digger's heart out.

But the heart was still beating, and yet was Dodge's hunger.

Dodge couldn't resist the sound of a Old beating heart, so he decided to Devour it, eating it all.

And as more of the heart was eaten, more of Dodges Soul was being corrupted into a very Dreadful Being that would lunge beyond the graves.

And then Dodge climbed back up to the Cemetery, finding some of The Old Grave Digger's favorite cloths in the shed, and then he put them on, and as he opened the shed to the Graveyard, about getting ready to create some havoc, he saw this mist forming around him.

He saw, The Fog.

And as right before he got taken by this Entity, he said to himself:

"I'll bury them all, like everybody has done to my soul".

Ok so first let's now go on with some of the Grave Digger's stats.

The Grave Digger will have a 4.6/115% movement speed.

The Grave Digger will have a 32 meter terror radius.

The Grave Digger would be a medium sized killer.

His name of course, would be called The Grave Digger.

And for his appearance:

He would where a worn out top hat.

His face Would have blood all over his mouth from the heart, his eyes looking grey, and his face slowly decomposing.

He would where a Torn Brown shirt with a green hoody with cobwebs all over it.

His Pants would be grey and also all torn up.

His shoes would be black with mud all over it.

And finally, his weapon or course, would be The Shovel.

Ok so let's go on to the perks.

Death could be an escape:

You now find Death to be having a deeper meaning beyond it's self.

During the End Game Collapse, you see every survivor's aura, and if you start a chase with someone, the perk will deactivate, but the person you do start a chase with will become exposed and would be able to get killed/Mori.

Hex: It's your funeral:

This is the very thing that changed you, make use of it.

Whenever a survivor is using an aura reading perk on you, their aura reading perk would not work, but instead would make you see their aura's.

Drafted Death:

You drafted yourself to become this way, it's your rage that's powering you.

When you see a survivor's scratch marks, You automatically gain 1 tier of bloodlust, and gaining other bloodlust tiers will be faster when looking at scratch mark's.

Now let's go on to his power, now I won't be going over addons, but I'm sure you can make it up in your head. But anyway, let's go on with the power, with the power being...

Under The Grave.

So what this power does is that it allows you to dig up holes on the surface.

If a Survivor steps in one of these holes, they would fall into the Underground.

In the Underground, The survivor's would have to find these shovels.

If they do find these shovels, they can dig themselves back up to the surface.

It would take a total of 10 seconds to dig yourself back up.

And please note that the Grave Digger can only set up 5 holes at a time.

So in the overworld, the Grave Digger is just an regular 4.6/115% M1 killer, but when he goes into the underground however, that all changes.

In the underground, for each hit you land on a survivor, you become more dead inside.

Also little side note is that their are no totem, loops, pallets, or gens in the underground, but their are Hooks, chest, and small little rooms in the underground.

If you land at least 4 hits on any survivor underground, you gain a new ability called...

Grave hunter.

When in grave hunter, anytime you go back to the surface, you dig yourself underground, moving at a 175% movement speed.

The only thing the survivor see's is a small lisp of your shovel.

Now this Ability last for at least 1 minute, so use it wisely.

And the hits you do with this attack make the survivor's broken for 1 minute.

After this ability ends, the process still stays the same.

So now let's go over the animations.

His running animation would have him hold his shovel with 2 hands while pacing really fast.

His Hitting animation would have fresh blood on his shovel, then tossing the blood behind him with the shovel.

His Breakable wall animation would have him stabbing his shovel right through the wall.

His Vaulting Animation would have him digging himself underneath the fault.

His pallet breaking animation would have him using enough force to toss the pallet mid air with his shovel and as the pallet comes back down he breaks it with his foot.

As for his stun animation it would have him just laughing, laughing like an insane person.

As for his noises it would have him just laughing and all that but a bit more eerie because he's decomposed a bit.

Ok so now for the part you have been waiting for, the Mori.

The Mori would have the entity spawning in the old grave diggers heart, then The Grave Digger will shove the heart into the mouth of the survivor, then the Grave Digger would grab a grave with that survivors name on it, then clocking the survivor with the grave in the head, killing them, then he would place the grave by their body, saying "Rest in Piece".

Ok so now let's go on with the survivor's lore.

Mark Carpenter was a guy who was obsessed with the History of the town, but what town you say is that of Rill Forest County, a place where "Everyone could go and live ever after". Those very words came with mark, as if it was a source of pride to him, making him believe that he town was a place of honesty and intelligence.

30 years from now Mark still lived at the town, later on hearing about a recent funeral that took place in the area, which didn't get in his way, yet he was curious.

So Mark with no knowledge on who this guy is, went to the funeral, and was intrigue by the looks of the cemetery, which made him go back home immediately just to research this cemetery.

After spending hours and hours of research, he started seeing that everyone in the funeral started leaving, but then he saw that their was only one car remaining. After studying a little bit more, since Mark lived right across the cemetery, he went to go see who's car that was.

So he was just going to see what was a matter with whosever car that was, but then he saw someone break into a shed, which made Mark go into panic, which made Mark hide behind the vehicle.

But after He hid behind the vehicle, however, he heard this noise in the graveyard, as if somebody had just fell down a hole or something. So the second Mark stood up, he saw this mallet go straight into his face, as if a bullet had just hit him.

Bleeding in sorrow, Mark struggled to get back to his feet, but he knew at this point, this was the end, until...

A fog came rolling in.

And if it was anything to save Mark's life, Mark will acceptably do it.

Ok so now lets go on with Mark's perks.

Bleeding Reader:

You fell down, but then you read back onto yourself.

Once per trial, you can make your survivor profile look like your healthy even though you are injured, and you could also make your walking and running animations look like your healthy as well.

Researcher:

You research your environment to help you succeed.

Once per trial, if you have an item and you want to combine it with another item to get a better rarity, you could do that, but you can't do stuff like ultra rare+ Ultra Rare, etc.

Curious:

This is what got you killed, but now you live for eternity, in pain.

When out of chase, you see the auras of survivors who are in chase.

As for his appearance he would have Slick sideburn head

A red button up shirt.

Blue Jeans.

And Finally, Grey shoes.

Ok so now it's time for the map.

Realm: Rill's Forest County.

Map: Rill's Forest Cemetery.

"This place, once a shining side beauty of a place, now turned into a desolate, incoherent nightmare now filled with misery, having it's main attraction be the Brutal Graveyard and the Glorified Cemetery Shack".

So I think that's probably it, now as for my first Fan Made chapter concept, I got to say that I really like this concept. But ya it took me at least 2 hours and 48 minutes to write this, but it was pretty fun, but I think that's all I have to say so I hope you enjoy.

    Just a quick note, reading this is an absolute nightmare. You don't need to create a new paragraph at the end of every sentence.

    Anyway, the Killer's power is very interesting. I like the idea of creating a small arena for yourself that's consistent in every map so you can run it easier, sort of like a portable Killer Shack that you could modify to your liking. It's almost like Minecraft's Nether in a way as well, where you can use it to traverse the map as a Survivor but risking being trapped. Overall, cool concept but what I just said is probably incorrect because deciphering your post was a challenge.

    Perks

    The Killer's perks are really nothing spectacular. I feel like you could definitely be more creative with these, especially since none of the effects have any relevance to the flavor text.

    Death Could Be An Escape is a bootleg Rancor that, unlike Rancor, has not even any gimmick potential. Its only use is to secure kills, which at this day and age isn't the Killer's objective, especially during the endgame.

    Hex: It's Your Funeral... the puns never end. It's definitely useful, but, again, its lack of versatility and synergy with existing perks (besides other hexes) makes it a bit of a let-down.

    Drafted Death is a strange one. Nevertheless, it suffers from the same issues as the previous: lack of versatility and synergy. However, I think you could expand on this concept and create a simple, yet useful perk that speeds up your ability to survey the map, like a passive speed boost or enhanced hearing while out of chase.


    As for the Survivor:

    Bleeding Reader: As appealing as the concept is, the Killer will find and chase you regardless of if you're healthy, faking or not.

    Researcher: Also an interesting concept, but overshadowed by the Bloodweb. The Bloodweb! Of all things! If you want a higher rarity item, equip it at the start of the match or use Plunderer's Instinct.

    Curious: Useful, but overshadowed by numerous other perks.

    @TruthTheDeceiver Ya sorry about making it long, that basically goes with any of my chapter concepts to be honest.

    But ya at least for the killer power and even the killers lore I tried to go all out creative to the best of my ability, and even though the perks still may not be the best, but I do like the idea of them.
