(A Homestuck crossover (hear me out))

Time in-game when I started this concept: 242 hours

Time in-game when I finished this concept: 337 hours 

(This power took me the longest amount of time of any power I’ve designed so far.)

Paragraph #??: Homestuck

The Jack:

Name: Jack Noir/ Spades Slick

Terror Radius: 32 meters

Speed: 4.6 m/s (115%)

Height: Tall (6 foot 5 inch)

Difficulty: Hard

Weapon: Slick’s Katana

Successful Basic Hit Animation: Red Miles writhe up and down his Katana, ultimately exiting the tip of the blade in a pulse outward.

Mori: The Jack slashes at the survivor’s arm, and then stabs at their chest, with the tip of the sword appearing behind the survivor, skewering them through the back.

Locker Grab Animation: The Jack uses the power of the Queen's Ring to shrink the survivor and bind them to the ring. (When hooking the survivor or when a survivor wiggles free, the grow back to normal size. It's solely a visual change.)

--------

Power: The Red Miles;

Press the power key to place a Dormant Tumor. When a survivor walks into the line of sight of a Dormant Tumor (indicated by a red line visible only to the Jack during and after placement), it triggers, latching onto the survivor with Red Miles (the range of a Dormant Tumor is 9 meters to the left and 9 meters to the right (left and right as of where The Jack was facing when placing the Tumor)). Dormant Tumors cannot trigger through walls. Said Dormant Tumor now becomes a Carcinogenic Anchor. While a survivor is latched to an anchor, a few things start to happen. 1: They lose the ability to use items. 2: They suffer from the Hindered status effect (-8% movement speed) and can only slow-vault. And 3: They suffer from the Exposed status effect for as long as they are affected by the Red Miles. If another survivor comes into the range of a Carcinogenic Anchor, it will also latch onto them. To free themselves from the Red Miles, survivors must hold down the primary interaction key for 6 seconds. Upon freeing themselves, they only remain Exposed for 4 more seconds, regardless of whether or not the Exposed effect already ended. Dormant Tumors naturally disappear after 60 seconds of inactivity. If all Dormant Tumors are already spawned, spawning a new one will remove the oldest Tumor. A maximum of 7 Dormant Tumors can exist at once in a trial.

--------

Special Ability: Uranium Relocation;

Allows The Jack to teleport to the closest survivor to himself. Said teleport takes 2 seconds to activate and has a 3 second arrival animation. After teleporting, a cooldown of 40 seconds begins.

--------

The Jack’s Teachable Perks:

It Keeps Happening: After a survivor fails a skillcheck while repairing, for the next 10/15/20 seconds, they will experience tremendously difficult skillchecks. Failing any of these tremendously difficult skillchecks will result in a flat 5%/10%/15% regression to the generator they were repairing.

Good Dog, Best Friend: For every 80/60/40 seconds your Obsession is alive, gain a token up to a max of  3/4/5 tokens. For every token you have, the Obsession gains a 1%/2%/3% increase to repair speeds, but your regression speeds are also increased by 20%/25%/30%. Lose a token every time you hook the Obsession.

His Spade’s Slick: Every time you hit a survivor other than your Obsession with a basic attack, gain a token up to a maximum of 3/5/7 tokens.

3 Tokens: Survivors hit by your basic attacks are inflicted with Hindered (-10% speed) for 5 seconds.

5 Tokens: Survivors hit by your basic attacks are inflicted with Deep Wound.

7 Tokens: Survivors hit by your basic attacks are put into the Dying state.

Putting your Obsession into the Dying state by any means takes away 4/3/2 tokens.

Purple Add-ons:

Pa’s Rifle:

Converts the range of a Dormant Tumor into an arc of 50 degrees

King’s Staff:

If a survivor being affected by the Red Miles doesn’t free themselves after 14 seconds, another Carcinogenic Anchor will spawn (not limited by the maximum amount of Tumors that can exist at once). For every consecutive 14 seconds after that, a new Anchor will spawn. For every Anchor latching onto the survivor, their freeing action is increased tremendously (+6 seconds).

Iridescent Add-ons:

Skewered Crow:

When a survivor affected by the Red Miles passes within 10 meters of another survivor, that other survivor begins being affected by the Red Miles also

Queen’s Ring:

Dormant Tumors erupt 1 second after they are placed. Instead of latching onto the affected survivor, it will release a barrage of Red Miles. However, the duration of the Exposed status effect is reduced slightly (-3 seconds), along with the strength of the Hindered status effect (-5% instead of -8%)
