Killer Concept: The Beast

HoHoJoe

The Beast:

Backstory: For generations stories have been told about the Forests that surround us, The Beast being a physical manifestation of all the horror stories that have been told to children, and adults alike. Campire ghost stories have brought this demonic creature to life, and now he lives to give life to the rumors that permeate the treeline, through blood.

Killer Weapon: The Beast's time in the woods has caused him to evolve sharp branch-like claws, which he uses as instruments to tear apart those who dare wander into his domain.

Killer Power: Gaze Unto Death

By word of mouth, stories have been told about The Beast, but now the Beast will turn their eyes upon him, causing them to flee in terror. The Beast can press the Activate Ability button to release a loud scream, channeling a Death Gaze, causing all survivors within 12 meters to look directly at him, slowly zooming in their cameras towards the Beast for 3.5 seconds. During this time survivors suffer from the Hindered (15% slow) status effect, and still have free movement, but still have their cameras pointed towards the Beast. If a survivor moves 8 meters away from the Beast during this time, they are no longer effected by the Death Gaze being channeled. The beast moves at 75% speed during this time. After the 3.5 seconds have passed, all survivors who did not escape the Death Gaze become marked for death, and suffer from the Exposed and Terrified (new status effect, explained below) status effects for 35 seconds. Downing a survivor that is marked for death causes all other Terrified survivors to scream out in terror, revealing their location through killer instinct to you for 2.5 seconds, and increases your movement speed by 15% for 2.5 seconds, and refreshes the duration of their death mark.

Death Gaze has a 45 second cooldown.

NEW STATUS EFFECT: TERRIFIED

Terrified survivors hear the heart beat as if the killer were right behind them, and have the red stain appear right behind them. The edges of terrified survivors screens fade into black, making it slightly harder to see the edges of their screen, and effectively reducing their FOV.

Killer Perks:

Alpha Predator:

Your prey attempting to escape you makes closing in for the kill more enjoyable. Whenever a generator is completed, gain a 5%/7.5%/10% movement speed increase, and increase your vaulting, breaking, and picking up speed by 25% for 5 seconds.

Tracker:

You've studied your prey from the shadows, giving you insight on where they will make their next move. Scratch marks last 1/2/3 seconds longer, and scratch marks will pulse bright when you are close to the survivor who made them.

Hex: Lung Crush

Those who flee find themselves winded by their fear of you. Whenever a survivor becomes Exhausted, they also suffer from the Hindered (20%) status effect for 2/3/4 seconds. This Hex persists as long as there is a lit totem on the map bound to it.
