New Chapter: The Broken Saint

Some things are undergoing changes, replacements, or reworking

Chapter: The Broken Saint
_The theme of this chapter is the will to go on and forgive or to accept the Entity’s blessing at revenge and a chance to condemn sinners. The Chapter comes with the new Survivor, Dawn Jemima Deering- and the new Killer, The Snake, or Phinehas Diggory. Both are people belonging to a religion, willing to uphold the lessons they are taught given by their Gods and make sacrifices for either their own gain or someone’s. _

Survivor Concept
“What would be the importance of forgiveness if in this realm of constant death requires you to betray other fellow survivors to the killer’s wrath so you can survive? That is a question that continues to resurface in my thoughts and that I struggle to answer myself. However, this newcomer comes forth protecting and crooning a song of faith despite the betrayals against her done by others, all while wearing a comforting, forgiving smile as she gets sacrificed to the Entity. What encourages her to give kindness and move past the actions done to survive through this endless rounds of misery, with an unbreakable resolve to put others before herself? Perhaps she knows there is no point of falling into despair because there is a way out of here, that we only have to keep moving forward and keep hope flowing because we haven’t seen it just yet.”
Name: Dawn Jemima Deering; Dawn

Difficulty: Intermediate/Hard - WIP

BIO: Dawn Jemima Deering was born and raised in Bontnewydd, Gwynedd for a few years before moving up to the capital of the United Kingdom to be with the rest of her family. Being raised in a Catholic household, Dawn continued the religious practices by attending the masses at Westminster Cathedral and joined the choir later on in her late teens, crooning the descants with ease and bliss. She grew up as a happy, humble lady with a heart that lured crowds closer to her, wanting to befriend the girl either for the riches she had or for the journeys they could have together. A cycle that would carry on as she would enter Sixth Form College and the University of London, something she always forgave for and moved on.

It would seem that she had the easy life, but in reality, it was not a glittery palace for the arguments between her mother and her father to decide upon their daughter’s future; as a normal human being with their chosen job or as the future CEO of the fashion design company the family owned. It was something she stayed awake for during the nights, asking her Lord and Saviour as to what should she do in this situation. After three years of living within the Deering Household, Dawn packed her things and left for a simpler living with two of her closest girlfriends, wanting nothing more but explore the world outside of her birthplace before giving her life towards the family business.

The trio of friends worked together at the same job, gathered money, and journeyed across the seas, enjoying the company of one another as their main source of fun. They first went to Canada to help a fellow cousin settle in their new chosen home before moving towards North America and Spain, sight-seeing the magnificent structures and testing the traditional meals of the country with utter joy. Dawn would be grateful for the freedom she was given through these adventures, however, her parents were constantly on her mind, with their words leaving her in wonder.

The trio of girls had found themselves in La forêt des Landes, France, deciding to camp and explore the terrain before returning back to the comforts of homeland. Setting up their temporary settlement, Dawn would tell her companions that she was going to explore for bit and that she would return before supper. Little did she know, that by walking into the forest would be a terrible choice made on her count for deeper in the nature's dwelling withheld a dark secret.Taking no more than two bridges a walk, Dawn would discover a decaying stone chapel in its lonesome and within the structure was nothing, but a portrait of a couple and what seemed to be where the offerings were given. Shocked by this discovery, she would've gone back to the camp and asked about this place, however, her curiosity stuck fast as glue as she investigated the room. There wasn't much to be found, but a single, worn rosary on the brown stained ground which brought questions of fright to mind.

But Dawn wouldn't be able to ask them as a cold wind and heavy fog surrounded her in swirls of mystery. Her back was towards the statue as she called out to her girlfriends, her hand still clutching the found rosary from the ground, her mind switching from thought to thought. Suddenly the floor under her feet collapse and with it, she fell into a pit of darkness with nothing being left behind, never to be seen again. After Dawn had not returned for dinner, her two friends went to search for her with a party of helpers, only to find no trace as to where she had disappeared to except for a bloodstained rosary in a broken chapel...

(NOTE THAT THESE ARE STILL A W.I.P!)

Killer Concept
“A man only draped in a robe and hood, reeking of alcohol and ashes whenever he prowls the terrain for victims. Seeing him did not bring only fear, but also a drizzle of despair in me. What made him fall into a path of condemnation? What has he seen that he gave up on God and decided to become a condemner of sinners? Who was he, before he was given this role of a monster that hounds and sentences us with deadly precision? Regardless, I find myself having to keep caution no matter where I am - in an instant his poison may come upon on me and distract me with illusions while he comes for me with killing intent.”
Name: Phinehas Diggory
Killer Title: The Snake
Ethnicity: French
Description:

Difficulty:
Movement Speed: 110% (4.4m/s)
TERROR RADIUS:
Weapon: Venomous Fang (A falchion is a one-handed, single-edged sword of European origin, whose design is reminiscent of the Persian scimitar. The weapon combined the weight and power of an axe with the versatility of a sword.) When he lunges, he lifts the weapon back to the opposite side with a single hand and swipes down forward with them.

Dev Note:

POWER: Lucifer’s Apple - still undergoing changes and additions
Desc: Lucifer’s Apple is The Snake's main Power: he bends and shapes poison to his will. With a ritualistic symbol of the Entity, he creates deceitful traps made from poison and blood which he can use for various effects. Creating a Lucifer’s Apple works very similar to setting down a Bear Trap and Phantasm Traps. He can have up to 8 Traps at once distributed across the map, with each subsequently set Trap removing the oldest one. Survivors that come into range of the trap will receive the new status effect; Temptation, where they will constantly see illusions of objects, survivors, and the killer until they have cleanse themselves by washing off the substances at a Baptism Pool.

Desc 2: (W.I.P)

MORI: The Snake flips the survivor over to their backs and start to brutally slash against their flesh, all while humming an angry hymn of condemnation to his prey. Hastily, he digs his weapon deep into survivor’s shoulder and finalizes their death by harshly stomping on their face, leaving a disfigured corpse in the end.
OBSESSION MORI: The Snake slowly prances around the obsession with a horrific, jolly giggle as the victim attempts to crawl away. Carefully they carve the Entity’s symbol into the obsession’s back before slicing the flesh open and pull out the victim’s heart, kissing the organ and putting it away in his robes.

BIO: (W.I.P)

Teachable Perks:

(NOTE THAT THESE ARE STILL A W.I.P!)

Perk 1: - being reworked

“My Divinity is a treasure from my God and I shall cherish them with amounts of devotion through this trial of fate.”

Perk 2:
“Heed Thy Sins”
Desc: You punish those would refuse to let sinners die. For each time, a survivor saves someone from your arms or from the hook, their auras are revealed to you and they will be given the Hindered state for 35/40/45 seconds. During this time, you gain a 8% speed boost for 15/20/25 seconds.

“They have done their crimes so let them perish in Hell!”

Perk 3:
“Condemnation”
Desc: You have a hatred for those surrounding your obsession from your reach. Each time you are in chase with the obsession and you are mislead by another survivor, gain a token.
