Killer Suggestion: The Shade

Appearance: Humanoid, a shape of a person, maybe wearing a dark cloak but instead of a body it consists of shadow/smoke. Height is as tall as survivors are.

Speed: Normal walking speed of survivors.

Terror Radius: None

Powers:

-Masked Terror: When survivors load into the game, they cant recognize the appearance of other survivors. Instead all survivors look like The Shade. The Shade is able to interact with all objects, survivors can interact with (except for healing others) and can run at the normal survivor running speed by pressing shift. The sight of all survivors in the trial is dimmed (similar to a thick fog or Freddys disappearance when out of range). Items of survivors are also hidden to other survivors.

-Betraying Light: Using M2, The Shade is able to charge a leap attack on a survivor. From the survivors POV The Shade is using a flashlight. After normal blinding duration, The Shape leaps towards the point it has aimed, injuring a survivor when hit. This special attack is able to injure survivors through windows and pallets.


Perks:

-Sabotage: The killer is able to interact with any object a survivor can interact with (generators, totems, hooks, chests or exit gates). After a short charging time, the killer places a trap at the object. The next time a survivor interact with the trapped object, they will face a hard skillcheck. If they miss it, they get injured. This perk either has a huge cooldown (which starts when the trail starts) or can get tokens.

-Darkest Hour: Whenever a generator becomes finished, all survivors hear a global Terror Radius for 30ish seconds and the Obsession becomes oblivious.

-One after another: After a survivor dies or leaves the trial through an exit gate, the exit becomes blocked for all other survivors for 10ish seconds.


Add-on suggestions:

-Instead of no Terror Radius, the survivors and The Shade emit a TR.

-Granting The Shade "Sprint Burst" or other speed increasing exhaustion perks

-Granting The Shade the ability to throw down pallets when another survivor is looking in its direction
