CHAPTER CONCEPT: MISLEADING MIND

Chapter: Misleading Mind

This chapter introduces 4 new status effects:

Schizophrenia: When a survivor is under a Schizophrenia status effect he suffers from visual and auditory hallucinations.

Visual hallucinations: Skill checks can rotate making it harder to hit them.

Skill checks can move around the screen ( but the skill check appears in normal position < if the survivor doesn't suffer also from madness status effect>).

Survivors during the cleansing of a totem or opening an exit gate can see fake skill checks. Fake skill checks look exactly like normal skill checks but hitting them resets progress completely.

Auditory hallucinations: Survivors at any moment can hear:

-Dropping pallet sound

-Fast vault sound

-Quick locker interaction sound

-Generator explosion sound

-Totem destruction sound

-Chest opening sound

-Sound of a killer hitting an object

During the repair of the generator, survivors can additionally hear the skill check sounds. ( without skill check appearing )

Amnesia: When a killer is under that status effect he can't use his abilities ( Power and Special abilities ). It doesn't stop the ability that is already in use ( like bubba chainsaw ) and this also doesn't disable killer abilities he already used or placed ( like trapper traps).

Immunity: Under that status, effect survivor is immune to all negative status effects granted by the killer excluding exposed, hindered, deep wound, sleep penalty, and madness ( all the special killer's effects ).  

Total Immunity: The survivor is immune to all negative status effects granted by the killer.

The killer: Madman

Appearance:  The killer would a butcher outfit with an apron. He would wear a teeth necklace on his neck. He would give a happy expression with an absent look.

Killer name: Valentin Stutz

Note: as always I recommend you read the lore but I won't force anybody to do so... at least not yet.

The killer lore: 

Love is an incomparable feeling, a feeling that completely changes your world. It makes an adult feel like a teenager. It makes a fool out of a scientist. It makes a sheep out of a wolf. It motivates those who should give up a long time ago. I was no exception. When I met you my muse my life sprouted for the first time. From an empty shell has emerged something that never previously was being alive. You accepted me who I am, my beloved that's why I will do everything to make you happy. Oh, how I could ever forget our first date. Our evening walk in the park where we could truly be ourselves without judging the eyes of others. Our dance was witnessed only by the stars above. Your moves were gracious as a butterfly swirl grazed by the morning sunshine, with each of your steps guiding me with care. How I would ever forget the taste of the meals that we shared together. How I would ever forget the warmth of your embrace. I will be always yours my muse, my beloved. I will do everything for you.

Weapon: Cleaver ( with the teeth necklace attached to it ).

Killer speed: 4.6 m/s.

Playstyle: This is an Antiloop killer with additional stealthy ability that can catch the survivors off guard. Good use of Separation can easily grant you precious tokens of Femme Fatale without hitting a survivor with a basic attack. Combining the Femme Fatale with the Separation can force the survivor to change the environment to a less favorable one for him.

Abilities:

Power: Femme Fatale

To use this ability you need a token. You start the game with zero tokens and you can hold up to a maximum of 3 tokens. You can acquire a token from wounding the survivor. Press the power button to activate Femme Fatale. After activation, a woman's silhouette made of blood would emerge 4 meters behind the killer. The silhouette emerges after 2 seconds after use and during that time the killer cant move. The use of Femme Fatale plays as a sound indicator. The silhouette follows you keeping a 4-meter distance for 60 seconds. The silhouette can wound any survivor that is around 2 meters from it. After 60 seconds the silhouette disappears. The Femme Fatale timer can be reset by pressing the power button again. ( You cant increase the time of Femme Fatale but you can spend a token to reset its 60-second cd ).

Special ability: Separation

Press the active ability button to leave your weapon mid-air for up to a maximum of 20 seconds. After 20 seconds or after using active ability again your weapon comes back to you wounding all survivors within his path. After using this ability you can't use your basic attacks and after weapon return, this still lasts for 2 seconds. When you are unarmed after using this ability you are under an undetectable status effect. This ability has 20 seconds cd after use.

Killer Perks:

Wicked Tango: When you are chasing your obsession the rest of the survivors suffer hindered status effect (-15%). When the chase with the obsession has been ended all the survivors excluding the obsession gain a haste status effect (15%) that lasts 5/4/3 seconds. When you hit a survivor whos not your obsession and it's under hindered status effect via that perk, this perk becomes disabled for 40 seconds.

Overwhelming adoration: Wounded survivors within your terror radius suffers from the schizophrenia status effect. This effect lasts for 10/15/20 seconds after they left your terror radius.

Love triangle: This perk can only activate one time. To activate this perk 3 survivors have to work together on one generator. Int very moment, the third survivor touches the generator all 3 survivors:

-Will suffer from the Schizophrenia status effect for 5 minutes.

-Will suffer from the oblivious status effect for 40/50/60 seconds.

Survivor: Dario Brotbeck 

Survivor lore:

Female nurse: Hi my name is Vittoria, it's my first day here

Male nurse: Nice to meet you, Vittoria, My name is Dario.

Vittoria: The doctor told me to ask you for help. Could you show me around this hospital?

Dario: Sure, not a problem.

Dario: So, I heard you are freshly after the nurse school.

Vittoria: Yes after a lot of suffering I managed to get the degree finally

Dario: Hah, It won't get any easier.

Vittoria: Don't worry I will manage, besides I heard that working in a psychiatric hospital is not as bad as it seems.

Dario: We have various patients here arent you a little bit worried?

Vittoria: Not so much, but there's one exception. The famous butcher of Montreux is your resident for a while, doesn't he?

Dario: Yes he's been under our care for 3 months now.

Vittoria: Does he behaves well?

Dario: It's far from that, he attacked multiple times medical personnel, and he even gouged one nurse's eye with the spoon. That's why we are keeping him in the isolation room.

Vittoria: oh

Dario: don't worry only male nurses takes care of him.

Vittoria: I heard on the news that he was a very calm and quiet neighbor, not like the news says a lot of truth but I didn't expect that he will be this furious and aggressive.

Dario: He suffers from severe case schizophrenia combined with objectophilia. It turned out that he was in love with the tool of his crimes, the cleaver. He's insanely hostile after he and his cleaver were separated.

Vittoria: What a love story, don't tell me this cleaver told him to chop down these people and eat their bodies.

Dario: We assume that his hallucinations involved the vision of his beloved asking him for such requests.

Vittoria: Jesus...Is there any known cause for his condition?

Dario: He was abused during his childhood by both his parents, his colleagues, and teachers. Additionally, after leaving his home at a young age he struggled both financially and socially.

*Sound of the opened door is heard*

Vittoria: If not for the fact he was a serial murderer I would feel pity for him.

Dario: Hah, we shouldn't be too emotional during our shift anyway.

Vittoria: Mr Brotbeck

Dario: Huh?

Nurse: I have brought your medication Mr. Brotbeck, with who you were talking just now?

Survivor perks:

Delusions: You are under a Total Immunity status effect for the entire game. 20/25/30 seconds after the start of the game you suffer one random negative status effect for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, you suffer another negative random status effect. This repeats endlessly. The negative status effects you can suffer from are:

-Exposed

-Blindness

-Broken

-Exhausted

-Haemorrhage,

-Hearing,

-Hindered (10%)

-Incapacitated

-Mangled

-Oblivious

Side effect: After being put into a dying state by the killer you grant him an Amnesia status effect for 6/7/8 seconds.

Hospitalization: When you have already been hooked, and you are injured after being healed after the unhooking, all the survivors can see your aura. When other survivors/survivors have healed you then all the survivors are under the Immunity status effect that lasts 15/20/25 seconds. (You can only use this ability one time. Your aura disappears the moment you are healed ).
