⛏️ CHAPTER CONCEPT: My Bloody Valentine The Miner (A True M1/Anti-Loop Nightmare)

Radikal

• Weapon: Heavy Mining Pickaxe
• Movement Speed: 4.6 m/s
• Terror Radius: 32 meters

KILLER POWER: Buried Alive The Miner uses his heavy equipment to manipulate the trial grounds, trapping survivors in tight spaces and using their own panic against them.

• Special Ability: Mine Shafts (Tunneling)
  The Miner can use his pickaxe to dig up to 4 Mine Shafts into the ground or breakable walls around the map. By entering a shaft, he travels through the dark tunnels underground, allowing him to strategically emerge from any other active shaft on the map. (Animation: He heavily swings his pickaxe into the surface, carving open the tunnel, and dives in).
• Special Attack: Cave-In (Anti-Loop)
  When breaking a pallet or a breakable wall with his pickaxe, The Miner triggers a local seismic tremor. Debris crashes down, blocking nearby windows or vault locations for 15 seconds. This cuts off classic loops, trapping survivors in dead ends and forcing a raw M1 chase.
• Passive Effect: Suffocating Darkness
  Survivors inside The Miner's Terror Radius will hear his chilling, heavy mechanical breathing through the gas mask. The longer a survivor is chased by The Miner, the darker their screen becomes. As panic sets in, their peripheral vision fades into pitch black. The only thing survivors will be able to see in the darkness is the piercing, bright light cone coming from the headlamp on The Miner's helmet as he gets closer.

PERSONAL PERKS

• Heart Box
  Your cruelty leaves a horrific warning. When hooking a Survivor, the Generator furthest away from you is blocked by the Entity for 20 seconds and immediately loses 5% current progress.
  "Happy Valentine's Day." — Harry Warden
• Claustrophobia
  Survivors feel helpless in tight spaces. While inside the Basement or any main building structure, injured Survivors suffer from the Blindness status effect, and their self-healing/altruistic healing speed is decreased by 20%.
• Methane Leak
  The air grows thin around your presence. Every time a Survivor misses a Skill Check on a Generator, it emits a cloud of toxic methane gas. All Survivors within 8 meters start coughing loudly (revealing their location) and suffer from the Exposed status effect for 10 seconds.

THE MORI (Finisher Idea) The Miner knocks the survivor flat on their back. He stands over them, his heavy breathing filling the audio. He drags his pickaxe along the floor, creating sparks. He then raises the pickaxe high and drives it directly into the survivor's chest. In a brutal twist, he twists the handle, rips out their heart, and drops it into a bloody heart-shaped chocolate box next to the body.
