DBD x Vampyr colab? An idea for Vampyr's protagonist as a killer

Vampyr is one of my favorite games for it's atmosphere and immersion, and was thinking it would be awesome to see the protagonist as a killer in DBD, a stage based on 1918 london, and some chase music composed in the spirit of Vampyr by Oliviere Deriviere.

If you've never played it, in the game, the primary way you move around during combat is by doing quick little teleports around the environment, so I thought his power could work similarly. Sort of like a combination of the nurse and blights power.

Killer power: Shadow step

  • For each token, dash forward 3 meters while also narrowing your vision. You have 1.5 seconds to chain shadow steps together before entering a cooldown period.
  • After any number of tokens are used and the chain window expires, or a survivor is hit, you enter a cooldown period while your power regenerates.
    • While on cooldown blood trails become much brighter.
  • Tokens can be refreshed in multiple ways: by waiting the cooldown period (30s), stepping into a locker(15s), or by feeding(instant).

Killer Secondary power: Feeding

Striking a survivor while they are injured causes them to become dazed and can either be picked up, or bitten. Biting carries risks, as flashlights can interrupt feeding and release the survivor while stunning you.

  • Upon successfully biting a survivor,
    • All tokens are refreshed, and you receive a short buff, (like 5% haste for 20 seconds). This can be altered with addons.
    • The survivor receives vampirism.

Vampirism:

  • For 45 seconds, or until cured, the survivor becomes invulnerable to the killer, moves at 115% movement speed, and gains a terror radius that progressively increases from 0 to 32m.
  • Infected survivors can cure themselves at altars throughout the map by praying for 10 seconds. Praying at an altar, or collecting holy water from an altar causes the altar to go on cooldown for 80 seconds.
  • Survivors that don't cure themselves in time, enter a feeding frenzy for 60 seconds, requiring them to chase down and feed on another survivor.
    • If the new survivor is bitten, both survivors are inflicted with vampirism, and the 45 seconds starts over for both.
    • The chased survivor can run from the infected survivor, and slow them down by splashing holy water on them which can be found at altars. Holy water immobilizes the infected survivor for 5 seconds.
  • If the survivor never feeds, they become weak, reveal their location and enter the dying state for 20 seconds. During this time:
    • Survivors can crawl to an altar if nearby
    • If at full health, survivors without vampirism can choose to enter the injured state and offer their own blood to wake the survivor up, curing them of vampirism.
    • If they're never picked up, or helped, the infected survivor wakes up in the injured state, but cured of vampirism.

    I also really like vampyr, but I don't think the protagonist really suits dbd. He's arguably not a killer or a bad person, just somebody put into a no win situation.
