Killer Concept: The Nobleman (Repost)
Hi everyone,
as the title says this is a repost. Why? Because only four people gave me feedback, and I would like some more to make this killer as good and balanced as possible since I don't think others will read it in the future.
So, please leave feedback, I will make sure to reply to all messages and I will change what I need to change. This one is also slightly updated from the original post.
The backstory for this killer is not the best, I have a couple more ideas in store for other killers and their stories are much better. I know you don't care but I do XD
Chapter: A Lost Love
Benedict's Journal Entry: "I saw a man, he walked around as if in pain, both physical and clearly emotional. He looked as if he had been crying before the trial started. Then he saw me, rage filled his eyes as he began running towards me, he unsheathed to sword he was carrying, hidden inside his walking stick. He hit me, put me on the ground, my blood going up the blade, up his hand, and then inside that beautiful ring"
Killer name: The Nobleman.
Killer power: Darling’s Memory: The Nobleman has a ring on his left hand with a glass sphere in the middle which fills up with a purple-ish liquid after every hit. It takes 2 hits to fill the ring at first, then 4 and then 8, when the ring is full it gives you a choice between two options, “Upgrade weapon” or “Strengthen body”. As a base The Nobleman can upgrade up to 3 times. Once the Level 3 timer runs out the Nobleman will need to hit survivors 4 times to level up again.
“Upgrade weapon”:
Level 1: Faster wiping animation.
Level 2: Longer lunge.
Level 3: Instadown for 120 seconds
“Strengthen body”:
Level 1: Faster movement speed. (115%)
Level 2: Faster action speed. (Vaulting, damaging generators, destroying pallets)
Level 3: Faster movement speed. (120%) for 120 seconds.
After upgrading one of the two the other stays the same as before, so if you are at level 2 "Strengthen body" and you "Upgrade weapon" it will be level 1.
“Upgrade weapon” animation: The Nobleman hits the ring with the weapon breaking the glass, the liquid wraps around the weapon as if it was alive, then the glass repairs itself.
“Strengthen body” animation: The Nobleman shakes the ring, the liquid becomes gaseous, The Nobleman then inhales the gas through his nostrils.
Both animation take about 5 seconds to complete.
Weapon: An elegant sword cane, the handle is made out of ivory carved to look like a wolf’s head.
Wiping animation: The Nobleman grabs a cloth napkin and uses it to clean the weapon.
Appearance: A tall man, dressed in Victorian Era clothes. His face is slashed, some of his fingers are broken and he walks with a limp. In some of his alternative outfits he has a hole where his heart should be.
Backstory: At the time Tobias Cromwell was one of the richest men in England, he had a perfect life, a big house, priceless possessions, and a beautiful wife. He loved his wife more than anything, he would have done everything she asked him to do, he would have died for her, killed for her.
Tobias was envied by many, not only for his money, but also for his wife, she was known to be the most beautiful woman in England, so of course she had many men around her, but she was loyal to her husband. It was only about time before someone made the wrong decision.
His wife was found dead in an alley, strangled to death. Tobias knew it was one of them, and he knew who they were. He killed every single one of them, one by one, in a single night. The authorities looked for him for weeks without finding anything, not even a hint.
Height:1.93m
Base speed: 110%
Perks:
Undying Hatred: Sometimes you still see faces that remember you of bad times in your past, you will stop at nothing until you take them. You become obsessed with one survivor. Every time you down a survivor which is not your obsession you gain a token, with every token you gain a 3% bonus action speed (Vaulting, breaking), you can gain up to 4/6/8 tokens, when you hit your obsession you lose 2 tokens.
“Found you” ~ Tobias Cromwell.
Hex: In Your Memory: You’ll stop at nothing to get your revenge. Once you hit a survivor you will see their aura every 90/75/60 seconds for 3 seconds. This effect applies to the last 1/2/3 survivors you hit. The perk lasts until the hex totem related to it is destroyed. Survivors are notified of the Hex once their aura i revealed for the first time.
“I’ll never forget you, my dear” ~ Tobias Cromwell.
Business First: You know your priorities. When a survivor is unhooked 42/36/28 meters away from you will see the other survivor’s aura for 2/4/5 seconds, when you hit the other survivor within 30/40/50 seconds you gain 20% bloodpoints in the Hunting category at the end of the trial, to a maximum of 160% (so it goes 20%, 40%, etc).
“The more the better” ~ Tobias Cromwell.
Mori animation: The survivor tries to crawl away, the Nobleman steps on the survivor blocking them from escaping, raises his weapon and drives the tip of the blade into the back of the survivor’s head, through the mouth and gets stuck into the ground. The Nobleman then puts his foot on the survivor’s head and retrieves his weapon.
The Map: Set in Cromwell's Mansion's garden, in London's countryside, one half is the garden and the other half is the mansion. The generator for the achievement will be located on the second floor of the mansion inside Cromwell's office. Both the mansion and the garden look corrupted by the Entity, the mansion is falling down, there are holes on the second floor allowing players to jump down, to get to the second floor there is a set of stairs in the middle and one on each side of the mansion (Inside), since Cromwell's wife liked things to be symmetric. The garden's plants are slowly withering, some trees have fallen, and the bushes have a brown-ish grey color. The killer shack will spawn in the garden.
Realm: Victorian London.
