What do you guys think about my killer concept
The beast (werewolf)
Bio/lore: Known to many as kind man. Peter Jackson lives in a town where such a kind person, would be able be the last you’d expect to have such a dark horrifying side. By day a hero, saving lives for the towns fire brigade. Sometimes responding to horror scenes with polices he himself was blissfully unaware he created. By night a ferocious a relentless monster that draws its supernatural powers from the moon. It’s not often an unfortunate soul stubbles upon the beast in the deep dark forest during the night. But when they do they best hope they’re not injured, or the beast doesn’t let of his menacing howl. Or they fall victim very fast.
Whoever not everyone was unaware of Peters dark side. In the world of the supernatural there are often others, or humans that try to prevent the supernatural from causing havoc. This is when to only person to figure out peters secret, cast a curse upon him sending him to a realm where it’s always dark. The entity was please to accept as The Beast thrives in the dark. The beast menacingly gallops on all fours, at incredible speed.
Movement speed: 4.6ms
Terror radius: 40m
Power: strength from the moon- the beast is almost completely motion blind, so it almost never sees a living being. (The killer does see survivors at all until he uses his power)however he can let out a howl that draw power from the moon that’s allows him find his prey. The beast is relentless, so once the find his prey using the power from the moon. He is focus is hard to shake, as his sense of hearing, and smell, and vision go into hyper drive.
Howl: when the beast howls it reveals the auras of all healthy survivors for 5 seconds (this helps him initiate a chase) whilst in chase survivors constantly have their aura reveal. This effect lingers for 2 seconds after chase is lost. (all other survivors have the invisible status, and this is unique to the killer). When the beast howls he stops in his tracks to howl at the moon for a moment, which then is filled with supernatural rage by the moon. Making him faster.
Infected: when a survivor is bitten by the beast, his sense of smell is uniquely attuned to the mixing of the his saliva with the victims blood. Any survivor infected by the beasts bite suffer from the infected status affected. Infected causes the survivors to always be revealed by the killer. The effect persists until the survivor is healed.
The idea here is to create a unique killer survivor interaction. With the first ever survivor blind killer that his power helps him find survivors. It will also help incentivise tunnelling by being blind to survivors, and their cosmetics. Which if survivors do get tunnelled it’s not completely unfair as it was just the nearest found survivor, they also will be penalised for not trying to heal and subjecting themselves to tunnelling by staying injured. Also since it will be heavily chase focused killer, where they gain speed, and are only m1. The beast will almost always have howl readily available( short cooldown, winning a chase fills up power bar) to prevent free flashlight saves since the killer can’t see the other survivors. (The beast will do a cool stand up on 2 hind legs to pick up, and is not immune to flashlights despite his blindness) the idea is to constantly reward the killer for not tunnelling, using their power, create pressure through survivors being injured. Whilst not making the killer completely useless in chase. Due to blindness.
