Killer Concept: The Swarm
The entity looking for new ways to torment its captors, tapped into their fears of insects and created, "The Swarm"
Appearance: (Best way i can describe it is the bug swarm from Resident Evil 6, minus the whole queen thing)
The Swarms insects would be able to cluster up to form a humanoid shape and be solid enough to protect itself.
Movement Speed: Med to High end.
Attack Method: Swarm clusters up to form a kind of semi-solid arm-like appendage that strikes.
Passive Skill: Would have higher base vault speed then other killers but being stunned by a pallet would last slightly longer.
Ability: Sends out a small part of itself out up to a set range, then it returns. Any survivor hit by this, will scream revealing their location. When used, The Swarm gets a slight movement speed drop until the insects return to the main body. Ability can be charged to send more of itself out to attack. If a survivor is hit by a full charge, they are dealt a damage state, and inflicted with Blindness for a duration. Longer the charge, the greater it's cooldown. Hitting a locker or lockers with this ability, will force any survivor inside to come out and apply Blindness on them for a duration. Hitting a locker or lockers with a full charge will make any survivor inside preform a rush action and applies the Exhausted and Blindness effect for a duration. (add-on ideas will be listed below)
Perks:
Hex: You Can Not Hide
Interact with a dull totem to turn it into a Hex totem, if a Hex totem is already active, this deactivates the previous Hex totem, and moves it to this one. Hex: You Can Not Hide is deactivated when the totem is cleansed but can be reactivated upon interacting with another dull totem. (This does not reactivate other Hexes) Interacting with a blessed totem instead doubles the effected range of Hex: You Can Not Hide. While this hex is active, survivors that are within a certain range of this totem, will trigger a noise notification for the killer from the totem. Upon cleansing this totem, the survivor will scream, revealing their location.
The Light Calls
When hit with a flashlight from the front, the killer gains a stacking movement speed increase of 1% (max of 10%) for every .5 seconds the flashlight is shined. The movement speed increase will decay at the same rate after 5 seconds of not being affected by a flashlight. Flashbangs/firecrackers immediately give the max movement speed increase from this perk, which decay at the same rate 5 seconds after being affected by the flashbang/firecracker.
You Can Not Run
Chasing a survivor for a duration will activate this perk when the chase ends for 3 seconds. If the same survivor is chased within this time, they suffer from Blindness, and Oblivious for the duration of the chase. This effect persists 5 seconds after the second chase ends. If a third chase is started with the same survivor within this time, the survivor will be affected by the Exposed effect for the duration of the chase. You gain 50% more blood points from chases.
