Chapter idea, killer and survivor concept wip

First time posting, been working on a killer concept for a while revolving around a killer I call The Gentleman, a Victorian Era killer inspired by the infamous hedonist Dorian Grey. The killer would also have a painting put on the map and would be like a totem that survivors could tear; doing so would halt The Gentleman's Hedonisim power until it is automatically repaired after 30 seconds or repaired by him. The add-on ideas would mostly affect the painting and after repair; the entity would block the painting for 20 seconds with add-ons able to increase the time. The Hedonism power would grow stronger with each survivor hooked with a token and his power would have 3 aspects that he can activate only one at a time: The Rush, The Exhilaration, and The Ecstasy. The Rush would augment his speed, The Exhilaration would make him better able to hunt survivors, and The Ecstasy would allow him to down them easier. Max stacks of the tokens would also allow his power to inflict debuffs on survivors within a certain range of him when he activates his power. I have yet to develop solid perks nor add-ons for him save a token few, mostly used to alter his painting.

The survivor I had in mind was Lulu (Lucretsia) LeClair, a young woman from a prestigious family who gave up on wealth and privilege to pursue her passion of being a Locksmith, her perks are meant to mostly interact with keys and confer some of their aura reading abilities to nearby survivors. One perk I have solidified for her is called Keybearer, and allows her to open a chest and find a Lucent key; which functions the same as a dull key save the fact it dissappears at the end of the match. One perk is called Hatch Trick, it reveals the aura of the hatch when within a short range of it and allows the hatch to be opened quicker when it's closed. Her last perk would be to allow keys to confer their aura reading abilities when used to nearby survivors.

I am mostly looking for feedback on the basic premise, possible suggestions, and if need be any changes that should be made, as far as lore goes for the two, The Gentleman made a deal with the entity in exchange for assistance with his self portrait and Lulu is a descendant of The Gentleman or at least a distant relation that was sucked in to the trials as she was called in to work on opening a very peculiar lock.

Thank you for reading and hope to hear from the community.

    Definitely sounds interesting, but should have more thought put into it. Some questions I ask myself when I make concepts are: What kind of killer is this? What will they excel at? What about counter play? Does it sound fun? Stuff like that. Think about it some more and iron out the details.
