YukariTheAlpaca

New Killer - The Deadeye

Ability 1

Hold the Ability Button to draw The Betrayer, a signature revolver wielded by The Deadeye. While drawn, press or hold the Basic Attack Button to fire The Betrayer. Survivors hit by The Betrayer's ranged attacks are afflicted with stacks of Execution. Upon reaching a certain amount of Execution stacks, the next inflicted stack will deal health damage to the survivor and reset all Execution stacks to zero. While The Betrayer is drawn and The Deadeye is moving, their aim will sway slightly in a pattern.

Ability 2

After firing a certain amount of times while using The Betrayer, the revolver must be Reloaded; replenishing all ammo to full capacity and allowing The Betrayer to be fired again. Hold the Alternate Ability Button to reload The Betrayer at any time. Reloading can be cancelled by releasing said button. Upon fully reloading, all afflicted Execution stacks are reset to zero but the affected survivor(s) take no damage.

Perks

Scourge Hook: Fear Struck - At the start of the Trial, up to 4 random hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks. When a survivor is saved from a Scourge Hook while you are at least 32 meters away, the savior is afflicted with the Fatigued and Blindness status effects for 40/50/60 seconds.

Skilled Hunter - While this perk is equipped, any perk that requires a Basic Attack will also work with any kind of health damage that is capable of directly putting a survivor into the Dying State. This does not apply to the Exposed status effect. Survivors put into the Dying State cannot recover by themselves for 8/10/12 seconds.

Scourge Hook: Linked Fate - At the start of the Trial, all hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks. When a survivor is saved from a Scourge Hook while you are at least 32 meters away, both the savior and the saved survivor become Binded for the next 60 seconds. Any survivor who saves another survivor from a hook becomes Exhausted for 40/50/60 seconds.

Binded - While Binded, any negative status effects one Binded survivor is applied with will be applied to the other Binded survivor as well.

(When the Binded Status effect is applied, any status effects applied at the same time will still affect both Binded survivors.)

Fatigued - While Fatigued, survivors cannot see the killer's Red Stain and cannot see the killer until they are within 32 meters of them.

Lore

"You need to keep an eye out for this one, Josiah, got a bad feeling. I can pay you, if ya want."

- Henry Bayshore

Josiah Smith was a well known gunslinger for his time, but an even better hunter. After much convincing and promises of large quantities of money, Josiah took up a job for Henry Bayshore to find and kill a man named Caleb Quinn, another "associate" of Henry. and began his search; after all, this was just the first step to getting rich out here. After weeks of searching by horseback for the man, Josiah eventually came across the small town of Dead Dawg and it's less than welcoming community. Having become exhausted from this long search, Josiah rented a room at the local saloon and took a nap, only to awaken to the man he had been searching for right in front of him. Caleb Quinn, the man who he had been tasked with hunting down, had broken into his room in the middle of the night.

Caleb smiled "Hey there, heard you was a fan o' mine", he said, smugly. Josiah was petrified; unaware of what cruel fate would await him within the coming minutes. "Don't worry, boy, I ain't here to kill ya, but how about a deal." Caleb explained. "Ya see, I lost some good men on my last gig, doing Bayshore's dirty work; but that can all change. We do not need to listen to him no more. Ride with me, and you can have all that sweet green you want. Them law boys use us like cattle, but no more." Not having much of a choice, Josiah agreed to join Caleb's gang.

By sunrise, Caleb and Josiah, as well as the rest of Caleb's gang, are on horseback and riding into a neighboring town; one with a nice yet small bank. "Ya'll see this? You want money, right? Support your family? Right here: your ticket." After a seemingly easy job, Josiah realized that maybe the profession he chose wasn't where the money was at, and that there are much easier ways to get rich, albeit maybe not legally. Weeks had past without Henry hearing from Josiah, and those weeks turned to months, and then, to years; until one unforgettable night. "Look at what that fool did! Stabbed me in the back! I ain't gonna stand for this! That rat!" Caleb screamed in anger. "What is it?" Josiah questioned. "He stabbed me, you, all of us!" Caleb said, holding up a crumpled newspaper to Josiah's face. "That rat's gotta pay... Lets ride boys!" Caleb said to his gang, and they all obliged.

"Wait out here." Caleb said looking back at his gang; "not you, Josiah, you with me." Caleb said abruptly. Together, Josiah and Caleb walked directly into Henry's office. The gang never knew what exactly went down that night after Caleb and Josiah left. Many different theories exist on their whereabouts, but none of them have held true.

Killers may break Blighted Totems to cause them to have to reform again if a survivor wants to use them. If a survivor performs the Charge Perk action for 25 seconds, any Soul Engraved Item they are carrying will instantly recharge but will cause the Blighted Totem to break for the next 90 seconds. Blighted Totems that are broken count as normal broken totems.

Lore

[Note 1]

I saw her, standing away from the others near the campfire, always wondering who she is. Each trial that I had either "died" in, or had escaped; I only seem to return back to this temporary peace at the fire; or was it a hell? Attempt after attempt to talk to her, I was surprised when I woke up at the campfire like usual, only to be greeted by her sitting on a log across from me. The first words that uttered from her lips were about what year it was when I got here. From what I had gathered of her appearance alone, she must have lived here in the Entity's realm for a long time, considering how old and dated her clothes are. She speaks as if she doesn't know what has been happening here. All the killing, running... She has been blessed to not experience it all.

[Note 2]

How she has managed to keep hope for as long as she has is unknown. Approaching her, you can feel some kind of energy from her. It is inhuman. When we are thrown into each trial, I have yet to see her run or hide. She isn't in this hell at all.

[Note 3]

She speaks of some pendant given to her by her deceased husband. She says she never quite understood what it was, exactly; only that the energy I felt had come from it. The power it holds is tremendous; more powerful than anything I have ever felt, including the auras of those strange flowers. The cruel darkness around us, the chill of it's aura seems to surround her, but never gets too close, unlike the auras that surround the rest of us... Does it fear the pendant?

[Note 4]

Returning to the campfire, I saw her crying behind a tree. She told me how she had lost the pendant. How she feels evil eyes from around every corner had suddenly opened and are watching her every move. How she can "feel" the cold shadow of death creep from behind her, yet vanish as soon as she turns to look. The way she describes it is a similar feeling to the rest of us. I think I will talk to that Dwight guy more from now on, he is much less depressing during our conversations. We need to keep hope as long as we can. We will escape.

[Note 5]

I saw her in the trial today. Chopped up by some psycho I don't even remember the name of. Her screams... I remember the sounds of my screams when I first arrived here. Time to bring her up to speed on our dire situation.
