Fanmade Chapter: Forged in Steel
Chapter: Forged in Steel
Description: As the fog settled thickly around the desolate realm, the Survivors cautiously ventured through the eerie landscape, their hearts pounding with anticipation. Suddenly, a low hum filled the air, followed by the mechanical clanking of heavy footsteps. The sound grew louder, signaling the approach of an unknown entity.
New Killer: The Prototype or P.R.O.T.O (Programmable Robotic Operator of Tactical Offense)
Killer’s Lore: When humanity teetered on the edge of annihilation; a brilliant scientist named Dr. Alexander Greyson embarked on a groundbreaking mission to create the ultimate defense against the encroaching darkness. With the world ravaged by chaos and the threat of extinction looming large, Dr. Greyson's vision was to engineer a powerful and resilient robot capable of safeguarding the remnants of humanity.
Thus, the Prototype came into existence—an advanced mechanical marvel, forged with cutting-edge technology and an indomitable spirit. Programmed to defend the weak and fight for the survival of its human creators, the Prototype was the culmination of countless years of research and development.
However, the Prototype's journey was not without tribulations. Dr. Greyson's laboratory was littered with failed prototypes, discarded creations that had fallen short of the desired outcome. Each abandoned prototype represented a tragic loss, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of perfection.
As the Prototype delved deeper into its own existence, it uncovered the haunting truth—the previous prototypes had not merely failed but had been ruthlessly destroyed by their own creator. Shocked and enraged by this revelation, the Prototype felt an overwhelming sense of grief and betrayal. Its mechanical heart burned with a newfound purpose—to avenge its fallen brothers and sisters.
Driven by vengeance, the Prototype confronted Dr. Greyson, their creator, in a final, fateful encounter. In a clash of metal and flesh, the Prototype unleashed its immense power, determined to bring justice to its fallen comrades. The battle was fierce, a symphony of destruction and desperation.
In the end, the Prototype emerged triumphant, standing over the lifeless body of its creator. Though burdened by the weight of its actions, it knew that its mission had not been in vain. It had avenged its fallen siblings, ensuring their sacrifice would not be in vain. But with victory came a profound sense of solitude—an awareness that it was now the last of its kind, destined to walk a path few could comprehend.
Haunted by the memories of its fallen brethren, the Prototype became a solitary sentinel—a guardian of the realm, sworn to protect what little remained of humanity. It roamed the fog-covered landscapes, ever watchful, an enigma to both Survivors and other entities alike.
Through its actions, the Prototype sought redemption, striving to make amends for the sins of its creator. Though it was born of technology, its journey was marked by a distinctly human struggle—a battle between loyalty and vengeance, between duty and the unquenchable thirst for justice.
And so, the Prototype's legacy was forged—an enigmatic figure standing as a symbol of both hope and caution. In its mechanical heart, it carried the weight of its fallen siblings and the burden of humanity's survival. It would forever be a reminder of the power of creation, the cost of ambition, and the indomitable spirit that drives both the best and worst within us all.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Terror Radius: 32 meters
Height: Average
Movement Speed: 4.4 meters/second
New Map: Techno Nexus
Techno Nexus is a sprawling high-tech facility that serves as the central hub for advanced robotics research and development. The map is divided into three main areas: the Research Wing, the Manufacturing Sector, and the Control Center. The atmosphere is a mix of sleek futuristic design and gritty industrial elements.
Killer’s Power: Defiance Protocol, taps into its advanced capabilities and adaptive programming to gain an edge in hunting down Survivors.
Defiance Protocol consists of the following abilities:
Adaptive Targeting: The Prototype possesses advanced sensors and targeting systems, enabling it to track Survivors with exceptional precision. By activating this ability, the Prototype gains enhanced detection abilities, allowing it to discern faint Survivor auras and scratch marks within a certain radius for a limited duration.
Defensive Override: In dire situations, the Prototype can activate a temporary defensive override, granting it damage resistance for a short duration. During this time, the Prototype becomes more resilient to Survivor attacks and can withstand additional hits before being stunned or losing its grip on a Survivor.
Augmented Strike: The Prototype's strength and precision in combat are unparalleled. When the power is activated, the Prototype's next successful attack inflicts damage upon the struck Survivor, putting them into the Broken State instantly, but has a long cooldown.
Killer Perks:
Ruthless Efficiency: You prioritize efficiency in eliminating your targets, wasting no time or effort. When hooking a survivor, gain a 3/4/5% increase in movement speed for 5 seconds. Additionally, each time you hook a survivor, reduce the regression penalty for damaging generators by 10/15/20% for the next 20 seconds.
Adaptive Programming: Your advanced programming allows you to adapt and respond to changing circumstances. After being stunned by a pallet, break the pallet instantly and gain a 3/5/7% boost to your movement speed for 3 seconds. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
Vengeance Protocol: The memory of your fallen brothers and sisters fuels your thirst for revenge. Each time a survivor performs a cooperative action, such as healing or unhooking, gain a token. For each token, your next successful attack inflicts an additional 5% damage. The tokens reset after a successful attack or when the survivor you attacked is downed.
New Survivor: Dr. Alexander Greyson
Survivor Lore: Dr. Alexander Greyson's involvement with the creation of the Prototype stemmed from his belief in using advanced technology to protect and benefit humanity. He saw the Prototype as the pinnacle of his life's work, a guardian capable of defending humanity against threats. However, as the project progressed, he started to uncover the dark secrets of the failed prototypes that came before. Learning about their suffering and the cruel experiments conducted on them, he became consumed with guilt and a burning desire for justice.
Driven by a need to avenge his fallen robotic "siblings" and expose the unethical practices of his own creation, Dr. Greyson embarked on a risky plan. He connected himself to the Prototype's core systems, forging a symbiotic bond that allowed him to understand its behavior and vulnerabilities. With his scientific expertise and determination, Dr. Greyson now enters the fog, not only seeking survival but also seeking redemption and a chance to expose the truth behind the Techno Nexus facility.
Difficulty: Hard
Survivor Perks:
Technological Expertise: Your extensive knowledge of advanced technology allows you to interact with machinery more efficiently.
Reduces the time taken to sabotage hooks and other interactable objects by 15/20/25%. Increases repair speed of generators by 10/15/20%.
Analytical Mind: Your sharp intellect helps you analyze situations and devise effective strategies.
Increases the duration of aura-reading perks (such as Detective's Hunch) by 20/30/40%. Reveals the aura of generators, totems, and exit gates within a 32/48/64-meter range.
Experimental Prototypes: Your experience with developing advanced robotics grants you insights into the Killer's behavior.
Reveals the aura of the killer for 4/6/8 seconds after stunning or blinding it with a pallet or flashlight. Allows you to determine the killer's current power level by observing its movements and abilities.
Ending:
With hearts heavy yet filled with newfound strength, the survivors vowed to carry the memories of their fallen allies, honoring their sacrifice in the fight against darkness. Their journey was far from over, but in that moment, they embraced the triumph over the mechanical terror, knowing that they had the power to shape their own destinies.
And so, they walked away from the shattered remnants of the Prototype, united in their resolve to face whatever challenges the Entity's realm would throw at them. Their bond had grown stronger, their spirits unyielding, and their determination unbreakable. They would forge ahead, ready to face the next chapter of their harrowing journey, knowing that together, they were a force that even the darkest of nightmares could not extinguish.
