THE GENTLEMAN/BUSINESSMAN - killer idea
Hi guys and gals!
I was a little bit inspired by JoJo's and BTD6, so I hope it isn't that cringy.
POWER: Bladed Hat
On M2, killer picks up his hat from his head and with M1 throws it in a straight line forward (exact meters TBD). During its flight, it damages hit survivors (even if it's flying back). If the hat hits a survivor or a wall, it comes back to the killer. If the hat didn't hit any obstacles, it stays in that spot. In this situation, M2 would recall the hat to the killer.
THOUGHTS:
I think that this killer has HUUUUGE potential, just hear me out. For example, you could throw the hat in advance to set sort of a trap luring survivors between you and your hat (obviously you would need practice to time the recall right) but survivors would see that you are missing a hat, so they would know what is coming. A recalling hat would be more dangerous flying straight to the killer, it would pierce survivors. You could also just throw it for a ranged attack like nemesis. The survivors could dodge the hat or even crouch under it (but idk about that one, but the crouch would slow them down, so maybe). Of course, if all fails, you could just M1.
ADD-ONS:
Curvy or Rounded Blades:
Would cause the hat to fly in a rounded shape (like a boomerang does)(or only come back in that way, then you could choose whether it comes from the left or the right or something)
Iridescent Hat Tower:
You have multiple hats to throw
Iridescent Stylish Toupee:
You walk slower with hat on, faster with hat off (He wants to show off his new cool hair :D)
Ok names to be debated but:
- Add-on that makes hats teleport back to killer (giving faster hat recovery but no chance of hitting survivors on the way back)
- Maybe a reverse to the add-on above Hat teleport to as far as range allows but flies back normally
- Misc add-ons like: Hat throw range(+/-), Hat fly speed(+/-)
- Maybe hat can pierce survivors
- I'm sure we can figure out more
LOOKS:
I'm thinking about general gentleman/businessman vibe like a suit, a top hat or maybe a monocle and be three-legged walking with a cane which he uses as main weapon (but that seems too similar to blight so I'm counting on you guys). You know that filled with greed bastard who will sacrifice everyone and everything for $$$. Maybe the Entity promised him eternal riches for bringing him into the Realm or something. Maybe he should be named the businessman instead tho?
This could also be a skin, and we can figure out something else for his default look. He could have like a viking skin with a spiky armor like hat, or cowboy skin with cowboy hat, there are many possibilities.
PERK IDEAS:
Maybe a greed theme? Like stealing or maybe investing?
Kleptomania:
You can pick up survivor's items to get insight on item's latest owner like aura reading or maybe the generator that they interacted most recently highlights. Maybe also, you can open or destroy chests to prevent survivors from taking items from them.
Aggressive Investment:
Maybe something like auto-didact? debuffing yourself at the start, but then gaining power. Maybe actions like vaulting, locker opening and stuff speed or maybe just movement speed(?) could be a hex even(?)
Pickpocket Master:
This will sound crazy but maybe like franklin's it would drop survivor's item. You would need to "hug" be really close to a survivior for a brief while to make them drop it, but maybe I went too far with this one.
Smooth Criminal:
Maybe some perk with moonwalk interaction like when survivor does a rushed action close to you your red light emits from your back instead of front (seems fun but not really practical)
INVITATION:
Please feel free to share your opinion or iterate on ideas, or even add something new. All of you are welcome, just please be respectful. I hope we can create something fun and most importantly just have fun as a community.
