Killer Concept: The Forgotten

Quick Disclaimer, things are bound to change. Oh, and this is LONG, I spent damn near months making this.

The Forgotten – Charles White

Gender: Male

Origin: Irish


Lore


Charles White was once just another boy in a quiet rural town — until the day his life was stolen from him. At twelve years old, he was lured away from his home and locked inside an abandoned toolshed by his cruel parents. Days turned to months, months to years. The outside world forgot him. The dark within the shed became his only companion.


At first, he tried to fight. He scratched at the walls until his fingernails bled, screamed until his voice was raw, he knew someone was there, yet no one came.


 Hunger gnawed at him, thirst weakened him, and the damp air rotted away his sense of time. The shadows in the corners began to speak to him, whispering promises of escape if he would only listen.


When his body could no longer endure, the whispers revealed themselves — the fog, a vast and unfathomable will. It offered him freedom, power, and the strength to make others feel the despair he had suffered. But the gift came at a cost. His eyes were torn from his skull, replaced with strange artificial orbs that glowed with cold, inhuman light. From his back sprouted long, clawed limbs of pure shadow, their forms sheathed in jagged pieces of rusted scrap from the very shed that had been his prison.


Charles was no longer the boy who had once dreamed of home. He was a thing reforged by darkness and pain, a being of flesh, steel, and shadow. His very presence carried the suffocating weight of the years he spent abandoned, a creeping corrosion that ate away at hope.


When the fog finally took him, it brought the shed and the scrapyard with it — eternal reminders of where he had been forgotten. Now, Charles roams the Fog, ensnaring his prey, watching their desperation grow, and ensuring no one will ever forget the terror of being truly alone.

Rusty Snares


Placement (Human Form Only):


Maximum of 10 snares.


Hold the secondary ability button to place snares. 


Takes 3 seconds to set, and another 5 seconds to start working. Can't be retrieved unless disarmed.


Can be manually triggered (10s cooldown) within Human Form.


All snares have their aura revealed to the forgotten in white.


Survivors disarm snares, which removes them from the map.


Disarm time is 12 seconds, speeding up by 33% per additional survivor disarming it.


The Forgotten can hold the ability button to raise his arm, pressing the attack button while doing this triggers all snares within 16m of the forgotten.

All snares in trigger range while his arm is held up have their aura revealed in yellow.


Triggering at least one snare will put the ability on cooldown, during which every single snare is revealed in yellow.




---


Snare Effects (on Successful Trigger)


When a snare is triggered and a survivor is within 6m of the snare, the survivor is snared.


Cannot grab through walls, but will maintain grip through walls.


Survivors are slowed by 15% for 8 seconds.

Teleport destination telegraphed by shady tendrils flailing around the snare.


If a survivor is disarming the destination snare, teleport speed is halved.


If the snare is disarmed mid-teleport, teleport is canceled.




---


Shadow’s Maul (Charged Dash Attack – Shadow Form Only)


Each tier takes 1.5 seconds to charge.


Tier 1: Slightly longer than basic lunge, high sensitivity.


Tier 2: Takes commitment to turn. And is longer than tier 1. Will be even longer and harder to turn if used near a wall. Can break pallets and breakable walls.


Tier 3: The forgotten leaps forward, slamming the ground, this will send a Shockwave forward 60 degrees in front of the forgotten, 7.5m ahead if it doesn't hit. 

This Shockwave will send survivors flying forward if it hits, if they hit a wall, they will be dealt a health state.

This Shockwave will not travel through walls.

This will have a long hit/miss cooldown.

Visual Design

Body: Six arms coming out of the back, with scrap metal covering the arms, divided into 3 sections, bottom has 4 claws and opposable thumbs, other two only have 3 claws.


Weapon: A small pack hiding the scar containing the six arms, the actual weapon used are these arms.



Shadow Form:


Appearance: Entire body is black with white eyes.


Head: Large white eyes and curved horns.


Body: Six long arms sprouting out, three rows of two, with varying claws and opposable thumbs.


Weapon: Same as the human form’s weapon but without scrap metal, no pack hiding these arms.





---


Animations


Spawn animation


The Forgotten always starts in human form, he will look left, metal creaking as he turns, he will look right growling slightly, then return to idle.


Idle


The human has his real arms hanging down, his six arms propped up, and would be slouching slightly.

The Shadow stands up straight and has the same stance.


Lobby animations


Both forms:

Form swap

Spin their arms twice in quick succession 

Human

Eyes flicker and his head twitches 

Spawn Animation 

Shadow

Screams and lashes his tentacles around.

Points his arms to the camera and says a voiceline.

In a lobby with people, he turns back to face the camera, growling quietly.


Swapping forms


The human transforming screams as rust and flesh falls off the forgotten 

The shadow stabs the ground, pulling out rust covered arms, skin reforming over the forgotten 


Walking 


The human takes heavy and slow steps, almost like nemesis, but not because he's strong, but because he's heavy.

The shadow runs with near silent footsteps and pumps his arms, similar to the ghoul.


Basic Attack (Human Form):


Animation: Slashes forward with the bottom right arm, claws extending halfway through retracting for the wipe. This attack is a basic slashing motion.


Additional Notes: A slight mechanical sound plays during each swing.



Setting a Snare (Human Form):


Animation: Will scrape the floor towards the targeted location to build the snare.


Triggering a snare has the forgotten snap his fingers



Vaulting (Human Form):


Animation: The Forgotten uses his six arms to scramble through windows. The bottom arms assist in boosting him up, while the top and middle arms hold the window frame, 




Breaking Pallet (Human Form):


Animation: The Forgotten raises his arms and swings with the bottom claws, smashing through the pallet with brute force. The scrap metal on his arms clangs as it strikes.



Breaking a wall (Human Form).


Quickly hit the wall six times, once with each arm.



Kicking a generator (Human Form).


Hits the generator twice with the bottom right arm, like the artist’s kick.



Stunned (Human Form):


Animation: The Forgotten is stunned and drops to one knee, shaking his head with a mechanical whirr before recovering. There’s a slight flicker in his LED eyes as if the system is momentarily disrupted.

A survivor escaping your grasp will have the forgotten retract all Artificial arms, he will bring his 2 real, (otherwise useless) arms up to cover his face.


Snares


A shadow tendril will pop out of the center of the snare, grabbing a survivor if it's in range, and just flailing about if not.

The arm will go through walls to maintain hold of a survivor, creating a black puddle where it contacts the wall.

If the effect ends, the tendril quickly retracts.

The survivor being at the edge of their movement will make the arm start shaking violently. 


Basic Attack (Shadow Form):


Animation: Same as the human form, but without whirring, and a different wipe, flicking the blood to the side after a hit.


Shadow’s Maul (Charged Dash Attack – Shadow Form Only):


Tier 1: The Forgotten’s main arms are held to his side, just like the Demogorgon. His secondary arms are reeled back, ready to bounce him forward.


Tier 2: The middle row of arms is held slightly above the bottom. The jump is off a wall if one is close enough. 


Tier 3: All of The Forgotten’s arms are held to the side, the attack animation changes from a pounce to a more slamming attack.


The attack cooldown is the forgotten looking down at his bloodstained claws.

Tier 3 attack cooldown will just be the same as the miss, the forgotten slowly gets up to his feet. 


Teleportation (Shadow Form):


Animation: The Forgotten dives into a snare, burrowing underground to get to the destination.


Pallet Breaking (Shadow Form):


Animation: The Forgotten reaches forward with his bottom claws, stabbing the pallet before ripping them out, breaking it.



Breaking a wall (Shadow Form).


Stabs the middle of the wall with all six arms, ripping the wall in half. 



Kicking a generator (Shadow Form).


Reels back and slashes the generator.



Vaulting (Shadow Form).


Will morph his six arms into a spring, bouncing through the window, morphing back into six arms upon landing. 



Stunned (Shadow Form):


Animation: The Forgotten’s body begins to unravel into shadowy wisps, floating in the air before quickly reforming. His scream is harsh and distorted.

A survivor escaping your grasp will have the forgotten melt into a puddle before reforming when the stun ends.


Locker search (both forms)


Bottom two claws rip the locker open, before taking a step back to slam both doors shut simultaneously. 

Human grab will have him stab the survivor in the chest, propping them into his shoulder. 

Shadow grab will have him wrap his two left arms without thumbs around the survivor, then grabbing them on the neck. 


Hatch/boon


Both forms just stab the bottom two arms into the ground.


Pick up (Human Form)


His three left arms wrap around the survivor to prop them up. 

Dropping them has him retract his left arms. 


Pick up (Shadow Form)


Same as locker grab, just on the ground, not a locker. 

Dropping has him throw the survivor to the ground. 


Interrupts


Both forms have the same Animation, except for the end, where they lead into each form's unique carry. 


Window


Vaulting away

The Forgotten wraps an arm around the survivor, hoisting them up into a carry. 

Vaulting in

The Forgotten stabs the survivor through the chest, transitioning into the carry. 


Pallet 


Vaulting out 

The survivor turns back and the forgotten grabs them by the neck, going into the carry.

Vaulting in

Same as the window. 


Anything else


The Forgotten grabs the survivor on the shoulder, quickly pulling them in. 

The Shadow form will quickly stand the survivor up to grab them by the neck midway through. 


Hook (Human Form)


Will simply throw the survivor onto the hook. 


Hook (Shadow Form)


Will grab the hook and shove it through the survivors shoulder. 




Mori Animations:


Human Form: The Forgotten’s top and middle arms borrow in the ground, surfacing to prop up the survivor. His main claws then rip out the survivors heart, tossing it off screen and dropping the survivor.


Shadow Form: Survivor is dragged into a black portal while the Forgotten laughs maniacally.


Voicelines:


Whenever an action that can trigger a voiceline is done, there is a 50% chance it won't play, instead opting for a sound based on your current form. Human form would be a glitchy voice speaking nothing of meaning, or static. Shadow being a cruel laugh.

Voicelines can't start if another is playing.

The Human’s voice is a normal teenager's voice.

Shadow’s is scratchy and slightly quieter.


Play as killer screen (only the shadow speaks)

“Hurry up already won't you?”

“I see you, I know you're there.”

Against Evelyn 

“May we meet again.”
