New Killer: The Gatherer
Backstory:
Griff Steel was a peculiar young lad. Born into a family of god, he would often find himself going to church on Sundays with his family. His family included his little sister Charlotte; his older brother Ryan; his mum Claire and his father Johnathon. He didn’t believe in God but still went along with it to not get in trouble. Sometimes he’d ask his parents what happens when we die and they’d tell him the same thing; our souls go to heaven. He found this theory very intriguing and wanted to test this to see if it was true. Griff went to the woods with nothing but a knife and a camera, he set it up and recorded himself killing a rabbit and watched to see if he could witness the soul of the rabbit going to heaven. He did not. This led him to believe that maybe only the souls who believe in God go to heaven. This worried Griff as he did not believe in God. Days went by and Griff couldn’t help but think that maybe if he killed something that did believe in God, he could witness a soul going to heaven. He didn’t want to kill his family, so he turned to God for help. Griff went to the Church late at night when no one was awake to ask God what he should do. Oblivious to what God looked or sounded like, Griff started speaking to a dark figure in the corner of the room. Griff asked this figure how souls go to heaven. The dark figure responded by giving Griff an enchanted lamp. He gave an order to Griff that if he murdered each family member with this enchanted lamp in the room, each soul would get trapped. Bring it back to the church and he would show Griff how he sends them off to heaven. Naive and gullible, Griff did exactly that. Griff got home at 3:45am when his family were asleep. One by one, he went into each room with the lamp starting with his little sister. He slit her throat and punctured her heart to give her the quickest death to ensure she wasn’t in much pain. Surprised, he watched the enchanted lamp glowing blue, her soul must be inside. He then went to his older brothers room and did the exact same thing, his brother woke up and screamed in pain and agony as Griff was stabbing him multiple times. He soon died but swiftly after, his mum rushed into the room. Before his mum could gather her thoughts as to what just happened, Griff lamped her one across the head and she died immediately. The enchanted lamp was now glowing Blue, yellow and Green. Last but not least was his father. Griff snuck into his fathers room with the enchanted lamp by his side. He couldn’t fail now. To ensure his father died, Griff went straight for the heart. His father was now dead. The enchanted lamp was glowing blue, yellow, Green and red. He immediately fled the scene and went straight to the church where the dark figure was. Before he knew it, the church was glowing the same colours as the enchanted lamp and the dark figure let out a horrifying screech as it revealed itself from the darkness. It wasn’t God… This was the Devil. It snatched the lamp out of Griff’s hands and started a ritual, flames grew from the ground and engulfed the church. One by one, each soul was released from the lamp and Griff watched as each of his family members souls burned and were sent to hell. Slowly, the fire started to burn Griff too until he was cremated into a pile of ashes and the Church collapsed to the ground. Griff’s black soul woke up in a world of never ending darkness surrounded his family who were also suffering the same fate as him. Now, their life resorts around unleashing pain upon others in the entity’s realm but only upon the Gatherers commands.
A killer that attacks survivors from the inside, inflicting them with their own individual disabilities.
Power: 5 Spirits.
Hold L2 whilst looking at a survivor to unleash a spirit in their direction.
Each spirit has its own unique ability.
Charlotte’s Spirit (Blue): Inflicts the survivor with the incapacitated effect until removed.
Ryan’s Spirit (Yellow): Inflicts injured survivors with the broken status effect until removed.
Claire’s Spirit (Green): Can’t heal others and cannot be healed until removed.
Johnathon’s Spirit (Red): Inflicts the survivor the slowness effect until removed.
Griff’s Spirit (Black): Inflicts the survivor with the exposed status effect until removed.
The Gatherer can choose which spirit to release but only has one of each. Once a survivor removes a spirit from them, it immediately travels back to the Gatherer.
To remove a Spirit, survivors must locate the ritual in the basement and perform a prayer, lasting 10 seconds.
Power most likely needs improvement. Just thought this was a cool idea for a power as I’m running out of ideas now 😂.
