The Stranger(Survivor Unknown)
Okay, I remember way back then. I would see people make killers and survivors swap roles, so I thought, why not try myself with The Unknown or their survivor named the stranger. Perk names won't change because I'm unoriginal like that. Please do enjoy. Also, the image of it may come at some point
Name: The Stranger
Alias: The wanderer, the nameless
Overview: The Stranger is a being that is either from the realm itself or from a different place. It can't answer it has itself has no answer. The Stranger is a Spectral Escapist using its perks Unbound, Undone, and Unforseen to correct any mistakes it makes and make sure the killer won't find their objective.
------
Perks
Unbound: Wiggle speed is increased by 4/5/6% on your second hook stage and 6/7/8% on your third hook stage. “Witnesses claimed that despite their best efforts, the entity always seemed just out of reach, never allowing a clear view.” — April 4th, 1932
Undone: If you fail a skill check, gain a token up to a max of 6. Press the active ability button to consume all tokens while healing or repairing to increase the progress by 1/2/3% per token. “Reports suggested that the more people focused on uncovering the being’s true nature, the more it seemed to vanish into the unknown.” — December 24th, 1968
Unforseen: After repairing a total of 60% of any generator, Unforseen activates. For the next 20/30/40 seconds, if the killer is beyond 30 meters of a generators location, the aura is removed. Unforseen deactivates if you become injured or downed by any means. “As sightings dwindled, it became apparent that the being’s presence would only reveal itself when least expected, leaving many with more questions than answers.” — October 31st, 1998

Lore
January 12th, 1942: The Stranger of the Night
A small town experiences a night of unsettling events as residents report a mysterious being staring at them through their windows. Any attempts to confront or challenge the entity seem to either spook it away or have no effect. Prior reports suggest that people were advised to keep their blinds closed while sleeping, as the being might be a potential burglar. The fear and confusion grow as more encounters are reported.
March 8th, 1951: The Enigma of the Century
The Stranger’s appearances continue, but now witnesses claim that the entity seems to manifest more strongly for those who actively search for it. Descriptions vary, with some people saying the figure resembles someone they know but with an unsettling difference. The community is rife with speculation—whether the being is a case of mass hysteria, a gas leak, or something more sinister.
July 4th, 1965: Disturbance of Independence
During the Fourth of July celebrations, the town of Greenville is disturbed by frequent sightings of The Stranger in various locations, including stores and private properties. Some residents speculate that the government might be involved, leading to conspiracy theories about the being’s origins. The Stranger appears to seek help or answers from those who see it but vanishes before any assistance can be offered.
November 4th, 1978: Close to an Answer?
Speculation about The Stranger's identity reaches new heights. Theories range from alien origins to otherworldly entities or simple hoaxes. Sightings have decreased, but reports still come in, such as one involving a couple seeing The Stranger near their television set, which showed static before going out. The diminishing appearances heighten fears about the possible implications of these encounters.
August 30th, 1989: The Final Sighting?
The Stranger’s appearances become rare, with the last known sighting occurring at the Greenville Theater. During a horror film, footage captures The Stranger seated among the audience, unnoticed by those present. As the show nears its end, a black fog rolls in, and The Stranger fades away. The footage circulates, and speculation grows about when, or if, The Stranger will reappear.
