Killer Chapter Idea- A Voice Of Betrayal
Name: Sylis “Stylis” Smithson.
Killer Name: The Mimic.
Chapter: A Voice Of Betrayal.
Difficulty: Intermediate.
Speed: 4.4
Height: Average.
Terror Radius: Randomized Vocalizing.
Ability: Warping Copy- At the start of the match the power would need to charge for 20 seconds. After this you will have 5 tokens or “copies”. You can place these copies anywhere on the map. Hold the power button to place down a copy. They become solid after 10 seconds of placement and fade away after 45 seconds. When one fades away it takes 10 seconds to recharge the token before use again. To destroy the copies the survivors would need to interact with them and disperse the illusion. The Mimic has the ability to warp to a copy when over 15 meters away from it with a 30 second cooldown for teleporting. To teleport press the ability button while looking at the copy you wish to teleport to. After teleporting, the copy is destroyed.
Weapon: A shard of a mirror. It’d be the length of the average forearm. Wielded like a knife regardless of being a larger size. She has no prior knowledge of how to hold a murder weapon so it will be sloppily held. The mirror shard would be faintly bloody but for each prestige gradually become covered in it. It would be jagged at the tip like a serrated edge to be lethal instead of just a simple shard.
Perks:
Denial- After a generator is complete, all totems will be blocked for 15/20/25 seconds. (There is a cooldown of 30 seconds). “It seems your application for a raise was denied. - Derek Stone.”
Hex: Caught In Action- A hex based perk, when a survivor is caught in an action (Locker or Vault), the killer will earn a token. The token will allow the killer to change the size of their terror radius. This can be done three times, and each token will increase the terror radius by 5 meters (Up to 15 extra meters). “We always knew this would happen, jealousy is common among the girls. - News Reporter.”
Spotlight- When a survivor saves a hooked person, they are inflicted with the oblivious status for 10/15/20 seconds. “I just wanted to share the light with her. -Daisy Reed.”
Backstory: As a voice actress, Sylis had to learn how to mimic those around her. Basically become the character she was voicing. It meant countless days of overworking and being underpaid. Her and her fellow voice actresses had to deal with it as it was the only company that would hire females back then. It was the beginning of cartoon animation, and they needed actors to voice the new characters, but since most males couldn't reach the pitch they desired, they had to hire women to voice the younger characters and female ones. Sylis started voice acting at a young age, since she could achieve the voices wanted by the company. She and many young girls were also hired for very low pay.
As they were younger, they thought the amount of money was fair. As they grew up, slowly they came to realize that it was barely enough to last a few days. They kept working for that pay as they grew older. When Sylis began to accept more jobs that ended up being hits, she got a raise. It was only a meager few dollars but it made do.
The days began to get shorter, and the weather colder. Rent was closing in for the many voice actresses so they began to grow desperate. They asked the boss for a raise, but they were met with the same answer. "You all should be lucky that we have even hired you as you're women and should be home cleaning." Many of the female workers needed the money even if it was a few dollars. They had families to support or just themselves. A few jealous workers caught wind of Sylis getting a raise, even though they thought her acting was bad. One day one of the girls followed Sylis out to the front of the little recording studio. Sylis was being sent home to treat a cut on the palm of her hand. She had tripped and broken a mirror, resulting in her palm being sliced. The girl filled with jealousy brandished a shard of mirror and slashed it across Sylis's throat, raising it to lash across her body, not stopping until blood was below her along with Sylis’s mutilated body. The girl got up before dropping it in horror, realizing what she had done. She fled the scene leaving Sylis on the cold ground, slowly bleeding out. She was fueled by hatred and revenge, vowing to take action if she survived this ordeal. As her vision was slipping away the last thing she saw was black spider legs rise from the ground. Her body began to change, as did her mind. The body was barely hanging together due to the attack. After it was complete they were reborn, a new being. She closed her eyes and gave into the gentle embrace.
Iridescent Addons: Shard Curse- The addon will be a broken mirror shard with mist around it. The addon will allow when a mimic is triggered the person who triggered it will be exposed for 10 seconds. This can only trigger after 60 seconds.
Addons: Triggering a mimic can induce the broken, oblivious, or exposed status. The broken and oblivious effects will remain for 25 seconds or until mended. The exposed status will remain for 5 seconds. Each addon would be a separate item.
Tome: Revenge
Tome Details: Her past with her father before he died and she started pursuing her career. It shows the rough life she lived at a young age.
Time Period: 1960’s
Design: The mist seems to be flowing from her neck where the slash is and cover part of her body kinda like a shield since she would still fear people. The mist would grow and shrink at random intervals like a heartbeat. Her shown body will have fair skin, blemished by blue spots from the cold as she had been laying on the snowy ground as she was dying. She would have brown hair cut short and jagged, messy and frazzled from the spat she had with the coworker.
Cosmetics: an ultra rare cosmetic where it's her as a human but with the mirror shard like it was there but it's not in her neck but it’s invisible.
Her mirror shard in cosmetics could be made to look like stained glass at times or be edged/lined with gold.
Every 5 seconds there is a gap in the mist revealing her chest with a blood trail flowing down her chest.
