New Chapter : In the heat of the moment

Ravean

The Killer : Travis Landau - The Firestarter

Ever since he was a young boy Travis was faszinated with fire and setting things ablaze. A passion that got him into both, pain and trouble so many times that he couldn´t even recall. The flames spoke to him when they ate away whatever he sacrificed to them.... the little flames just whispered but the big fires with their blazing heat... they roared at him. When he was in the treatment program for mentally instable criminals he visited every single class of the mechanic and technical board. Not because he was actually interested in it but because the Fire had told him to do so... it had a plan for him and he was more than just motivated to be the best apprentice the Fire ever had. Now, after his escape from the insane Asylum and hiding for months, he knew exactly what it was that his Master made him take these classes for. It was not easy to collect everything he needed but he finally had all the parts he needed gathered here in this old abandondend Steel-Hammering factory. After three days and three nights without getting any sleep he had finally finished it - El Fuego - his Flamelauncher. What a glorius moment he thought when he heard the sirens of police cars getting closer to the factory. Travis fired up as many of the old ovens as he could to give them a warm and heartly welcome... time for El Fuegos first Mission.

Travis is small and of slender stature weighing only like 110 lbs if not less. He moves fast like Freddy. He´s wearing welding goggles and a mechanics overall with no shirt underneath. What you can see of his body is covered with old scars from burning himself many times and also fresh wounds from playing with fire... he doesn´t mind these wounds though... he wears them with pride. His Chest and Face are blackened with soot. The only weapon he has is his Flame Launcher wich he called El Fuego. It consists of a large tank that Travis wears like a backpack and a long metal rod with a jet at the on the one end and hoses for fuel and pressure wich connects to the tank on the other end. If Travis uses El Fuegos primary attack, the flame launcher blows a large cloud of fire wich injures his victim, a second succesful attack will bring it down. With his secondary attack, wich takes 3 seconds for the pressure to bild up, he can shoot a long ray of fire. If he hits a survivor it will bring him down immediatly. If there are more Survivors in the line of the ray it will bring down the first target and injure the next one behind him, a third or fourth in the line will not be injured. If he uses the ray of Fire on a flipped pallet, it will destroy the pallet, if a survivor stands behind this pallet he will be injured. When Travis gets stunned he screeches loud like the maniac he is.

Memento Mori
The Firestarter´s Memento Mori Animation is :
Travis stuffs the rod of his flame launcher forcefully down the victims thorat and then set´s it on fire, killing it from the inside out.

Addons

1. Jet Upgrade (Uncommon, Rare and Very Rare Addons)
   A survivor hit by El Fuego will suffer the effect of Fire on Flesh. He cannot recover higher than injured state for 20 (uncommon) /40 (rare) /60 (very rare) seconds. Healing is not possible until the effect wears off.

2. Napalm Tank (Ultra Rare Addon)
   This Addon Updates El Fuegos secondary Attack as it now strikes down 2 Survivors that are in the line of the ray of fire and injures a third and a fourth. If a survivor hides behind a flipped pallet it destroys the pallet, brings down the first one behind the pallet and injures the other ones if they´re within the ray.

Perks

1. Hot blooded
   Hot blooded activates if the Killer gets stunned while he is hunting a victim. It speeds up the time between the levels of Bloodlust by 10/20/30 %. Once Hot blooded has activated it remains until the victim is either in dying state or lost on the hunt. It has a cooldown of 1 minute.

2. Fire, walk with me (Hex)
   As long as the burning totem is active the Killer is embraced by an aura of heat wich causes Generators that are in the progress of being worked on to blast (no skill check, they just blast) and pallets that have already been flipped to break if the killer ist in a range of 8/16/24 meters or closer.

3. Gamma-Touched
   The Killers weapeon is modified with dust of Uranium. If a Survivor gets hurt by the Killers attacks he´ll be contaminated for 6/12/18 seconds and therefore will be visible to the Killer and other Survivors on the map. The Effect has to wear off and cannot be healed.

The Survivor : Stanley Giovanotti - The dirty Cop

Stanley was a good cop... not good in doing those things a good cop should do but very good in using his position to make some good extra money by the side. Unfortunally his boss had deducted him from the case he was on observing some smugglers and put him on this new case. He wanted to get this nutcase of a pyromaniac fast and put him back in the insane asylum he belonged in or just give him a bullet between the eyes... it didn´t matter to him how this case would end, what mattered was that he would go back to the smugglers case as soon as possible, because that´s where the money was. He´d finally gotten the hint where to find the idiot... Greener & Sons - Steel Hammering Forges - a factory abandonden since the late 1980´s. Stanley´s request for a SWAT Team was granted and half an hour later the building was surrounded. The guy had started the old melting ovens and some of the loud machines that hadn´t been started for years were in progress but still this was a dark place with many even darker corners to hide. While the SWAT Team spread in the building searching for the suspect, Stanley searched for him on his own. He went down a long, dark corridor between the ovens wehn suddenly something crashed on the floor right in front of him. Stanley needed to focus what it was before he realized it was the body of one of the SWAT Team guys, burned black beyond recognition. His guts were twisting and turning and it took him all his strenght not to vomit right in there when he heard a noise behind him. Stanley tuned around and there he was... a dark silhouette staring at him. Face to face he noticed the Pyromaniac´s grin because his white teeth were in a strong contrast to his soot blackened face. He reached for his gun but then everything around him turned in an inferno when the maniac started his flamelauncher.

Stanley is a guy in his late 40´s. When he was younger he used to be buff and handsome but those days are gone and his good shape was replaced by a flabby paunch. Still... Stanley´s got a good punch and he has no problems to let disbelievers feel some of it. He can´t remember when he started to become a dirty cop and he never regret it. Sure, some of his fellows suspected it but he was never observed or questioned about it. He just knew when and where he could grab some extra coin and when to stay away from it... and even if someone should ever stick his nose into his buisness... Stan was a guy who knew how to get rid of people that were to nosy without leaving a trace.

Perks

1. Another one bites the Dust
   You´ve got a gun but only 3 bullets left because you already wasted the 3 other ones shooting at the Killer when you noticed that bullets have no effect on him/her. You can use this perk only if you´re hunted and another survivor is close by. It will fire a bullet at the other survivor and put him in dying state while it gives you a sprintburst of 50% for 2/4/6 seconds. Can only be used 3 times per match.

2. Trained Senes
   As soon as you enter the Killers Terrorradius the Killers Aura will be visible to you for 2/4/6 seconds.

3. Dirty Money
   This Perk can only activate one time for each other survivor in the game. When you de-hook someone he owes you. Whatever this survivor does from now on in the match, he only get´s 75% the bloodpoints for it, while you get the rest of 25% as bonus at the end of the match.

The Map : Greener & Sons - Steel Hammering Forges

Greener & Sons - Steel Hammering Forges is a huge abandoned factory. The whole match takes place inside the old brickstone walls, deep in the guts of a dark place where the only light comes from the moon that casts his silver light through the big shattered industrial windows. The deeper one moves in the hotter it gets, because the old high-temperature melting ovens have just been put to work again after remaining cold for so many years, glowing in the darkness in bright red heat. Once this was a crowded place, giving jobs to more than 3000 Steel-Workers but these days are long gone and now it´s merely a home to a few crows. Old Power-Generators are still where they used to be and many of the machines are still on their spots because they were either to heavy to be moved or no one was found to sell them to when the company went bankrupt. Behind many dark and dusty corridors with old workbenches, machines and lockers and two large halls lays the cold heart of Greener & Sons... the Hammering hall. Large blocks of Steel were once placed on the huge anvils that fill the halls and a demon of a machine pounded them with force and the sound of thunder to hardened steel. Who knows... if someone was to fix the main-generator that powers the machine it could work again.

ItsDaEmuDood

Being a dirty cop, you'd think Stanley's perks are based on smuggling and betrayal, which they are, but on super effective levels. Three bullets to down your own mates?! That's a bit outrageous? All for what? A Sprint Burst? If you're that greedy, just run the damn perk itself. Dirty Money isn't that harmful, but still a d*** move. Stealing Bloodpoints? What if you unhook everyone? It's free Bloodpoints, and you're STEALING it from other players. There are better ways to get Bloodpoints than stealing 25% from each of your teammates. Walk With Me sounds like another perk that's introduced as a Hex, but turns out to be a one-shot perk. Trained Senses is too weak, and can be easily exploited and ridden of if it has a cooldown. Hot Blooded is also a perk just for baby Killers. Bloodlust comes fast enough as it is, and it only hits tier II or III if you suck or are up against a good looper, which has a bad Killer 6 out of 10 times in that position. Weak perks, and an interesting Killer, but the wrong set of tools are being used here.
