New Killer Concept - The Breathless
Time in-game when I started this concept: 828 hours
Time in-game when I finished this concept: 830 hours
Chapter #??: Abyssal Throes
The Breathless:
Name: Mari Fusara
Terror Radius: 32 meters
Speed: 4.6 m/s (115% movement speed)
Height: Tall
Difficulty: Hard
Weapon: Sparking Cord (a bladed steel cable with electricity flowing through)
Successful Basic Attack Animation: The Breathless dangles the cord below her hand as it crackles with energy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Power: Scorching Propulsion;
Holding the power button for two seconds powers up the thruster on The Breathless’ left hand. While charging Scorching Propulsion, the Breathless moves at 4.0 m/s. For 1.5 seconds, you will not be pushed by the thruster, after which you will accelerate from 4.0 m/s up to 10.5 m/s backwards over the course of two seconds. Any survivors that you collide into will be damaged for a health state. Survivors within three meters of the Breathless (in a 150 degree cone in front of her) during the 1.5 seconds before she is propelled will be hit by the flames and will lose a health state, as well as gaining one of three Scorched tiers. For every tier of Scorched a survivor has, they take six seconds longer to heal. When a Scorched survivor is healed, they lose two tiers of Scorched. Your Scorched tier can be seen in the HUD by the Breathless, as well as by all survivors. When a survivor becomes Critically Burnt, (Scorched tier three) the thruster will instantly down them. While the Breathless is being propelled around the map, she has complete turning control. Hitting obstacles during propulsion will take the Breathless out of her power in a 2 second animation, during which she is slowed down to 3.0 m/s. Scorching Propulsion can be canceled at any time while charging or being propelled.

The Breathless’ Shareable Perks:
Void: Prevents items from spawning in chests upon searching (rummaging still produces items). Survivors within 1/3/5 meters of chests have their auras revealed.
Suffocation: Survivors that enter lockers will be deeply wounded. Upon mending themselves, they become Broken for 40/50/60 seconds.
Drifter: For every 7 seconds not spent in chase, gain a stack up to a maximum of 3/4/5 stacks. Each stack provides a 5% Haste status effect. All stacks are immediately lost once a chase begins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New General Survivor Perks:
Crutch: After cleansing a dull, Hex, or Rekindled totem, enter a locker for 10 seconds to create a crutch. When that survivor is injured, the crutch will give them a 1%/2%/3% Haste status effect. This item has 30 seconds of durability before it breaks. Only one crutch can be crafted per trial, and the crutch cannot be collected upon escaping.
Makeshift Bandage: Allows a survivor to use a map to heal themselves in 32/30/28 seconds (can not be sped up with healing speed increases, can only be slowed down). The map is consumed after healing. Guarantees finding a green map in the first chest you open.

Nylon Threads:
Increases the size of the thruster’s cone of damage by 0.5 meters and 10 degrees
Green Add-ons:
Microscope Lens:
Decreases the width of the exhaust cone by 120 degrees, but increases its range to 12 meters. Requires line of sight to damage survivors.
RP-1:
Increases the maximum speed of Scorching Propulsion by 1 m/s
Conical Nozzle:
Each tier of Scorched adds an additional 3 seconds to healing (up from 6 to 9)
