Akiko's life had always been a solitary one. Growing up, she was a shy, introverted child, often
overlooked and ignored by her busy, indifferent parents. As she got older, Akiko struggled to make
meaningful connections with her peers, finding it easier to retreat into her own imagination than to
navigate the complexities of social interaction.
Desperate for companionship and a sense of belonging, Akiko became obsessed with the lives of
others, particularly those she saw as strong, confident, and admired by their peers. She would spend
hours observing them from afar, meticulously cataloging their routines, habits, and relationships.
Akiko's obsession quickly spiraled out of control.
She began stalking the person, learning their every move and secretly inserting herself into their life.
At first, it was small, innocuous gestures - leaving gifts, "accidentally" crossing paths, offering to help
with mundane tasks. But as they remnained oblivious to Akiko's true intentions, her fixation grew
more intense and disturbing
Sensing Akiko's dangerous obsession, the Entity saw an opportunity to add a new, uniquely twisted
killer to its Realm. The Entity approached Akiko, offering her a chance to be with the person
forever, if she would only serve as its loyal servant. Desperate to claim the Survivor as her own,
Akiko accepted the Entity's bargain without hesitation. In that moment, her fragile psyche shattered,
and she was transformed into "The Lover" - a stalker-like killer driven by an all-consuming desire.

POSSESSION'S EMBRACE
When downing and hooking a survivor you gain one token up to 5
Upon activation, the Lover swiftly sprints to a locker at an
unnaturally rapid pace, seamlessly slipping inside without a
sound. While ensconced within the locker, The Lover sheds her
terror radius, becoming an unseen presence lurking in the
shadows. From this vantage point, she can spend a token to
spectate the survivor's perspective, observing their actions and
movements with eerie precision. With keen insight into the
survivor's endeavors, The Lover may choose to expend another
token to seize control of their actions. As the possessed survivor,
she gains the ability to perform all standard survivor tasks -
repairing generators, cleansing totems, healing allies - blending
seamlessly into the façade of a fellow survivor. However, should
The Lover decide to reveal her true nature, she can swiftly
transition back into Akiko's form with a swift gesture. In an instant, she transforms from a seemingly benevolent ally into a relentless killer, ready to strike with lethal intent and unyielding determination.
(KILLER PASSIVE EFFECT)
"Beloved"
In addition to The Lover's unique Possession's Embrace" ability, she
also has a passive ability that replaces the standard Obsession"
mechanic with a new dynamic called "Beloved". When The Lover
enters a trial, one of the survivors is randomly designated as her
"Beloved". This survivor cannot be damaged by The Lover, as they hold
a special status in her twisted obsession. However, if the "Beloved"
survivor performs certain actions to aid or protect other survivors -
such as healing, unhooking, mending, or body blocking - all remaining
survivors will be afflicted with the "Exposed" status effect for 30
seconds. Additionally, the aura of a random survivor (not the
"Beloved ") will be revealed during this time. The "Beloved" survivor's
aura is also permanently revealed to The Lover once all other survivors
have been sacrificed or killed. At this point, The Lover gains the ability
to Mori the "Beloved" survivor, even if they are standing or downed,
fulfilling her twisted obsession.
(The beloved survivor never changes during the trial and can be
anyone)
