New Killer: The Egregore
"Fear is what created it, so it will instill the fear it was born to make"
Perks:
An Eye For The Idle: Survivors within your Terror Radius who haven't progressed or completed a generator, haven't begun of completed a heal, or interacted with a chest or totem in past 20 seconds, will have their aura revealed to you for 5 seconds. This effect can only trigger once every 30 seconds.
Paranoia Incarnate: Survivors who have been inside your terror radius within the past 5 seconds still hear a feint terror radius for an additional 2 seconds. A survivor who hears a Terror Radius through this perk is still considered "inside the Terror Radius" for other purposes
Distrust: Any generator repaired by two or more survivors is marked is yellow, when one or more survivors on that generator hit a good Skill Check, each other survivor on that generator scream and reveal their position.
Power: Anguish Manifest
Whilst in The Egregore's terror radius, Survivors gradually accrue Paranoia, gradually debilitating them mental anguish, directly Gazing at The Egregore increases the gain of Paranoia considerably
Paranoia Tier I: Breathing and breathing in pain is greatly increased. Each Survivor within 16 meter radius of the paranoid Survivor begin to distort
Paranoia Tier II: Healing, and repairing a Generator with a Survivor other than the Paranoid Survivor has its speed decreased. Survivors other than the paranoid survivor within 16 meters will periodically look like The Egregore
Paranoia Tier III: Breathing and breathing in pain is even louder. If the paranoid Survivor goes within 16 meters of another Survivor, they become 7% Hindered for 10 seconds. While not in chase, Survivors perceive an illusionary Terror Radius as though The Egregore was right in front of them. Other Survivors almost always appear perceived as The Egregor
Special Ability: Gathered Suffering
While two Survivors of at least Paranoia Tier II are repairing a generator, healing, or are within 4 meters of each other, The Egregor may channel a long teleport to that generator or those survivors. Survivors will not gain paranoia for 30 seconds following a teleport
Special Object: Placed sporadically across the environment, are tables with anti-psychotics, a Paranoid Survivor may interact with the table to take the drug. The action will immediately lower the Survivor's Paranoia tier by 1, but will incur a 5% action penalty for 15 seconds, and a slight visual distortion.

Lore (Condensed)
A small town was paranoid that a demon was haunted their down, it was cultists of The Entity, once discovered, they took a high-school girl from her prom hostage, and accidentally sacrificed her to The Entity, instead of dying, she was reborn as a concept of the fear of the cultists and the town, killing everyone nearby, and walking into The Fog.
Misc Power Details:
Passive Terror Radius Paranoia gain: .5 charges per second
Gazing Paranoia Gain: 2 charges per second
Teleport Cool-down, 75 seconds. There is no indication for when a teleport occurs, except for the survivors who get teleported near
Paranoia Tier 0→1: 5 Charges
Paranoia Tier 1→2: 10 Charges
Paranoia Tier 2→3: 20 Charges
They're not cumulative, so just through passive gain, it would take over a minute straight in its terror radius to get tier 3
Cooldown for taking Anti-Psychotics: 40 Seconds
Dev Notes:
I honestly can't tell if this is an awful killer or not 😅
It's effectively a buffed doctor's power but with no real chase ability outside of addons, the base power itself heavily disincentives healing and doubling on gens, but without effective movement, it might just mean its a bad killer for any lobby above new players. Also i know nothing about coding, and i feel like the series of doll add-ons might not be possible, but i like the concept!
