Years had passed and they had been lured to a strange place where they could supposedly hunt but it was all a lie as they were soon locked in with no way out and were consumed by flames but they some how woke up once again as one being and there was new prey to hunt.

SURVIVOR: MICHAEL AFTON

Survivor bio: Michael was born into a seemingly normal family with his brother and sister being young and his father being a mechanic for popular entertainment organization called Freddy Fazbear's pizza but that normality would soon change when a mysterious killer began using the local Freddy's restaurant as his hunting ground. The killer would disguise themselves as a bunny from the cast of animatrionic characters and would lure children into some unknown location stuff them into the ageing suits but this string of tragedy came to an end when Michael's brother was a victim of the tragedy though it wasn't caused by the mysterious killer but Michael himself in a freak accident involving the animatronics. during a time of grief Michael's father decided to open another restaurant called Circus Baby's Pizza world and in that place were special animatornics designed by his father and on its opening day when Michael's sister was alone with an animatrionic and she was lost which caused the place to close down and caused Michael's father to seal away the animatronics in an under ground facility but it also caused Michael to have a revelation but he did not act on it. Years later Michael's father asked him to enter that underground facility which inadvertently confirmed his revelation. He spent several nights in that facility where he acquainted himself with the angry souls inhabiting those machines one of which belonged to his sister and after trying to help them they ultimately destroyed themselves but they put themselves together into amalgamation and that's when Michael knew what they were going to do and he was ok with it. They killed Michael and began using him as a skin suit to join the normal life they got robbed of but Michael was rotting and soon they had to escape into the sewer but that didn't mean Michael was done in fact it was quite the opposite with rising from the ground his story not yet over. years later him and an old family friend finally ended it all with his sister and her associates souls at rest along the family's friends daughter and his father who finally got punished for his heinous crimes and as Michael was consumed by fire he suddenly woke up in a foggy place and he questioned if it was an afterlife but soon he would learn other wise.

I've seen literally COUNTLESS FNaF related killer ideas, and let me say, your idea is pretty solid.

Power (The Good): I could see this being a decently useful tool as killer; Not too OP, not too weak.

As a casual survivor main, I could see this being really fun. Just imagine you're working on a gen, and then all of the sudden, an infested survivor walks up to you and works on the same gen. Then you miss a skillcheck and now you're infested. It would be some enjoyable controlled chaos.

Power: (The Bad): I fell as if some of the conditions required to activate the traps are a little wonky. You can't really rely on high rank survivors to miss skillchecks on gens all too often (but the chest and floor traps are great). For that reason, I see this character as possibly being another Freddy. He'd steamroll low ranks while struggling at high ranks.

I think the strength of the overall ability is fine, but I could see some survivors not removing the infestation because they wont have a reason too in some scenarios (like not removing the plague's sickness).

Power (Solutions): There are only two small issues with this ability: The trigger requirements for gen traps and the effects.

As for the trigger requirements, how about a small red zone on each of the skillcheck success zones, and if the red zone was hit, it would infest them. The size, position, and visibility of this red zone could be adjusted with addons. Maybe some high tier addon could make the zone move? This is just MY suggestion, it's totally up to you.

As for the effects, why not add some sort of cumulative effect if survivors don't remove the infestation? It could start with the effects you have listed above, and then every "x" amount of seconds it could increase the screaming frequency and further decrease the survivors speed by "x" amount. Maybe addons could add more effects!

With that said, this power is a pretty solid concept, but it just needs a few tweaks.

Perk 1: I like the idea of this perk, but it's pretty powerful. I always enjoy the concepts of powerful, game-changing perks being tied to hex totems. I just have one question about this perk: When (if at all) will the survivors be alerted about this totem's presence? (Ex: Ruin notifies survivors after a ruin skillcheck). If the survivors are notified when the totem activates or after they see a skillcheck, I think this perk would be decently balanced. If the survivors aren't notified AT ALL, then the aura times need to be nerfed considerably.

Either way this perk is pretty powerful, but I don't think it would be game-breaking or annoying considering it's tied to a hex totem.

Perk 2: I love this perk! It looks fun to use as well as useful! It's "perfectly balanced as all things should be".

Perk 3: I like this idea alot, but the aura reading time on lvl 3 is way, *way* too long. I'd suggest 15 seconds for level 3. You could also keep the times how they are, and implement a set range from the hook where the auras can or can't be seen.

Overall, these are pretty powerful perks, but none of which I consider gamebreaking.

Perk 1: Love the idea, but would the buffs have a time limit? Something like 60-90 seconds would be cool.

Perk 2: Again, seems like a cool concept, but once again I have two questions. One: Does "all of the nearest generators" mean all of the gens or the nearest gen? Two, does being in a chase count as being in the terror radius? Some perks require that you stay hidden like Diversion and Stake Out. Love the idea.

Perk 3: This perk is sort of in an odd spot. Because on one end, you can help out new players who are easing into the game, and they wouldn't be punished as hard for missing a skillcheck. One the other end, you're rewarding survivors failure. This is really the only perk I'd suggest needs to be reworked entirely.

Map: Seems neato. It might need to be expanded in some areas just because the map is sorta small.

Cosmetics:

Molten Freddy: Seems neat, although I'm pretty sure molten freddy doesn't have feet, so how would he walk.

Maskless: Well if there's one cosmetic you gotta have, its this one!.

Cosmetic suggestion: Maybe add Springtrap into the mix (just because he's so highly requested for DbD).

Conclusion: Overall, pretty solid! I love power! Maybe a few too many killer aura perks, but most of them work fine. The survivors perks are amazing and unique and I'd buy this in a heartbeat (as I would with any FNaF chapter).

Your power is a bit weak mate. The fact that once you hit one good skill check the wires come off is a bit too easy. I'd say you should need to remove them by performing an action on yourself (like mending). I'd personally remove the traps on the ground and keep it to objects. You should be able to put them onto hooks also. Lastly I think to make skill checks more difficult to help at higher ranks, there should be 2 skill check zones at 40% normal size with every skill check. This will help catch higher rank players off.

Hex: Elizabeth's Rage: I'd remove the good skill check part because it would be ok and apply it only to the great skill checks. Also lower the aura to 8 seconds, with a 30 second exposed status. Really good perk to couple with ruin.

Empty Tomb: You need to word this better because I'm not sure if it only works if the survivor is in your terror radius or not. If it is only for your terror radius I'd lower aura time to 5 seconds but keep it at 10 if it still works outside of the terror radius.

Artificial Freedom. It's OP with the aura time. That needs lowered till at least 8 seconds and you must be outside of a 32m range of the hooked survivor. Otherwise I think it's a good idea.

Persistence: OP, needs a massive reduction in values mate.

Experienced History: I really like the idea behind this perk. I'd personally make it so you see all items within his terror radius while hiding.

Unwavering Patience: Isn't that strong in my opinion. Bearing in mind you lose 15% progression with those 3 skill checks misses I don't think it will make much of a difference.

Overall I really enjoyed reading your chapter mate. I think just tweek a few numbers and it'd be very good.
