Reworked: THE UNDERGROUND Fanmade Chapter
Since the addition of the Dredge, poor Howley came off as a cheap knockoff (even though the idea was a year old at that point). I figured a rework was in order! All perks were adjusted and revised, no addons yet and no new map. I hope he is better received this time.
New Survivor: Chelsea "Chills" Eriksson is a free-running prodigy, focused on getting back at the Killer and vertical evasion. Her personal perks Trip Wire Tech, Bull Rush, and Ledge-Grabber allow her to distract, evade, or even fight the Killer head-on.
Trip Wire Tech
Teachable Chelsea "Chills" Eriksson Perk
Look at them, easily falling for some of the oldest tricks in the book.
After the Killer vaults 3/2/1 windows while in a chase Trip Wire Tech will activate. Press the Special Action button near a window or dropped pallet to arm it for 30 seconds, highlighting the window or pallet for all Survivors. Entering a locker will trigger a Loud Noise notification at the marked window or pallet and create scratch marks running through. Your Aura is hidden from the Killer for 15 seconds.
If the time expires before entering a locker, the window or pallet will make the Loud Noise notification without hiding your scratch marks.
Bull Rush
Teachable Chelsea "Chills" Eriksson Perk
You've dealt with oppressive forces long enough and know how to handle them.
Performing a rushed vault over a Window or Pallet into the Killer will stun the Killer for 3 seconds.
You become the Obsession.
Bull Rush decreases your chances of being the Killer's initial Obsession.
Bull Rush has a cool-down of 60/50/40 seconds.
Ledge-Grabber
Teachable Chelsea "Chills" Eriksson Perk
Years of free-running are really starting to pay off.
Fast vaulting a window above a great height will allow you to grab onto the ledge for 6 seconds before dropping. Pressing and holding the action button will pull you back up over the window. Tap the action button to immediately drop to the ground.
Ledge-Grabber causes Exhaustion for 60/50/40 seconds.
New Killer: The Animal, Paul "Howley" Scott is an internet-savvy hobbyist who cyber-stalks his victims under the guise of a friendly mascot. His personal perks Obsessed With You, Interaction Protocol Address, and Hex: Always On Edge allow him to oppressively tear down his Obsession, find stealthy Survivors and keep them vigilant.
Difficulty: Moderate
Terror Radius: 24 meters
Height: Average
Movement Speed: 105%
Obsessed With You
Teachable The Animal Perk
I've been watching you for a very long time, did you really think you can escape me now that I have you?
You become obsessed with one Survivor. Chasing the Obsession for 6 seconds will reveal their Aura to you until you hit them with a successful basic attack. Hitting your Obsession while revealed will grant Obsessed With You a token. For every token, up to 5, Obsessed With You will reduce the healing and repair speeds of the Obsession by 3/4/5 %. Hooking the Obsession removes 2 tokens but will incapacitate all other Survivors for 20 seconds.
You can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.
Interaction Protocol Address
Teachable The Animal Perk
I can hear you, no matter where you are.
Survivors performing rushed actions will no longer trigger Loud Noise notifications outside your Terror radius. Every quiet action performed outside your terror radius will reveal the Survivor's aura for 8/10/12 seconds.
Hex: Always On Edge
Teachable The Animal Perk
Every thing that goes bump in the night is me.
A hex that manifests the fears of those affected by it.
While this hex remains active, every time a Survivor completes a skill check, the following will occur:
• Their aura is revealed to you for 2/3/4 seconds
• The Survivor will hear an approaching terror radius for 4/6/8 seconds
• A nearby locker will open and slam shut
Power: Incognito
The Entity creates a deep connection with you and the Lockers that surround the trial, connecting them through a dark network only accessible by you. Incognito starts with 3 charges, press and hold the action button to enter a nearby Locker, granting you the Undetectable status effect. While inside a locker, reveal the auras of lockers near Generators and Survivors. Pressing the special action button will instantly teleport you to the selected locker and consume a charge. Pressing the power button again or 6 seconds after consuming your last charge will cause you to exit your current locker.
Special Ability: Hacking
Staring at Survivors while inside a locker for 3 seconds will mark them as Hacked. Hacked Survivors are afflicted with the Oblivious status effect until the effect wears off or they enter the dying state. Hacked Survivors can enter a locker to remove the effect.
Special Attack: Abduct
Pressing the attack button while inside a locker will cause you to lunge forward several meters, attempting to grab and pull a Survivor back into the locker with you. If the locker is occupied by another Survivor, you will injure the Abducted Survivor instead and will be stunned for 3 seconds.
Special Interaction: Abduction
If a Survivor enters any of the lockers you interacted with during an Incognito, you exit your original locker automatically carrying the Survivor.
Howley is now a teleporting stealth killer, more akin to ghostface. Pop-Up Ad-ttack was clever and funny but was too similar to Amanda's ambush. Now he has better counterplay, I feel.
