Chapter Concept: Malice and Judgement
Killer: The Solitary
Base Speed: 110% (4.4 m/s)
Base Terror Radius: 40m
Height: Short
Abilities
A scheming and ruthless killer, the Solitary instils great fear into her victims and uses it to her advantage. Using the supernatural methods her best friend taught her, the Solitary forces her victims to repent for their sins, tormenting them until they welcome her scissors. The Solitary is able to mask her presence from her prey, rendering her Undetectable at the start of the Trial. Undetectable fades when in a chase for 7 Seconds, or upon performing a successful Basic Attack/picking up a Survivor. Undetectable returns when the Solitary passes through a Remnant.
Remnant of Malice: Whenever a Survivor screams, a Remnant of Malice is left behind for 90 Seconds. Whenever a Remnant is created, any old Remnants in 16m are dispelled. Hitting a Survivor will cause them to scream (this scream cannot be negated by Calm Spirit). Survivors in 16m of a Remnant recieve a 30% penalty to Healing, Repairing and Cleansing speeds (does not stack with other nearby Remnants).
Malicious Rage: Triggered ability (takes 2 seconds to activate, reduces killer movement speed by 10% while activating) that instantly causes a Panic Attack - interrupts actions, causes the survivor to scream (this scream cannot be negated by Calm Spirit), inverts camera and Left/Right movement controls, and inflicts 10% Hinder on any survivor the killer can see for 2 seconds. Cooldown of 25 seconds.
Malicious Presence: Triggered ability (takes 3 seconds to activate, reduces killer movement speed by 40%) that allows the killer to teleport to any active Remnant of Malice, dispelling it, and granting 10% Haste for 3 seconds. Survivors in 24m can hear this. Cooldown of 40 seconds.
Perks
Hex: Leadening Panic: A Hex rooting its power on fear. Delaying the inevitable weighs down your prey’s limbs. While in a chase, each time a survivor performs a vault or drops a pallet Leadening Panic receives a Token (max 10). While in chase, Survivored are Hindered (0.5/0.7/1% per token, stacks with other Hindered effects). 3 Tokens are consumed when a Survivor loses a Health State. The Hex persists as long as the related Hex Totem is standing.
“No matter what you try, fate always catches up. No point fighting it." – Misaki Rhosyn
Voracious Strike: Delivering the appropriate judgement on the wicked takes practice and commitment. Removing a health state from a survivor generates a token (max 2). A Basic Attack on a healthy Survivor with 2 tokens consumes all tokens and inflicts Broken and 7% Hindered 50/70/90 seconds.
"Practice makes perfect." – Misaki Rhosyn
Baa Baa Blacksheep: You become obsessed with one survivor. When your Obsession performs a Co-op action or Altruistic action, other Survivors in 6m suffer a 10/20/30% penalty to Healing, Repair and Cleansing speeds for 30 seconds. When your Obsession is healed or unhooked by another Survivor, that Survivor becomes the new Obsession, and are Blinded for 20 seconds.
“I don’t know why, but they always shunned me. Now you will feel the same.” – Misaki Rhosyn

Comments
-
Passive Ability Opinion: So close to being a cool power, but that 4.4 m/s kills it. Inverted strafing controls are decent but once survivors adapt it will be easy to deal with, however, I do think a 4.4 m/s killer like this could work but with some changes. This killer also has way too much going on and may be too hard to balance with all of these tools, so I am going to write a change for this.
Passive Ability Rewrite: Able to mask her presence from her prey, The Solitary begins the trial with the Undetectable status effect and loses it whenever they perform a Basic Attack. Damaging survivors by any means will cause them to scream in pain so loudly, that it can tear a hole through the realm itself.
Whenever a Survivor takes damage, a Beacon of Malice is left behind for the next 60 seconds. Whenever a Beacon Of Malice is created, any other Beacons Of Malice within a 16 meter range are destroyed. Survivors can manually destroy a Beacon Of Malice by performing a channeled action (requires a total of 15 seconds uninterrupted) while standing next to it, but at the cost of giving The Solitary the Undetectable status effect until The Solitary performs a Basic Attack. Upon destroying a Beacon Of Malice, nearby survivors (within 4 meters of the Beacon Of Malice at the time of destruction) are revealed via Killer Instinct for 5 seconds. Survivors within a 16 meter range of a Beacon Of Malice can hear the cries of victims long past, causing them to lose focus and suffer a 30% penalty to Repairing and Healing speeds. The penalty from this ability cannot stack multiple times on the same survivor.
Malicious Presence Opinion: This ability has the potential to give the killer some strength in chases, but first it needs to be changed in some way. If the killer is going to maintain pressure in chases, they need a way to catch up to fleeing victims.
Malicious Presence Rewrite: Fueled by the agony of others, The Solitary can inflict mental trauma so strong it can physically debilitate those affected by her. Hold the Ability Button to activate (activation is 1.25 seconds long) a channeled beam of Malicious Energy (18 meter range) that reduces the movement speed of survivors it is touching by 25% (-1.0 m/s) and has lingering effects for 1.5 seconds after not being touched by it. While activating the beam, The Solitary's movement speed is reduced by 50% (-2.0 m/s), and while continuing to channel the beam, The Solitary suffers from a movement speed penalty of 10% (-0.4 m/s) until the beam is deactivated (deactivation is performed by releasing the Ability Button and requires a cooldown time of 2 seconds before The Solitary's movement speed returns to normal).
Malicious Rage Opinion: The teleport is cool but is too oppressive if the killer already has stall in their kit, so the teleport was removed.
Malicious Rage Rewrite: Removed.
