THE CRIMSON MELODY/ CHAPTER 1
Killer: The DJ( Austin)
Austin and his friends Daisy, Spencer, and Tyler went to raves/ parties all the time.
Soon enough Austin became a professional DJ and started performing at every rave he went to.
One day though something changed in him when he ventured deep into the woods after he was hired to set up the next scheduled rave.
Over 300 people attended; however, only 1 came back.
Spencer escaped the rave and went to the authorities.
When the authorities arrived, they counted around 299 bodies and had to stop searching because of how late it was.
The next morning Spencer went missing.
The only thing that remained was music faintly playing in the distance.

LED STRIPS: You May place these on windows, If a survivor vaults through they become exposed for 20 seconds.
( If near Speakers then also removes 1 health state for any survivors).

TECHNOPHOBIA: The design of the generators are significantly different.
For every survivor working on any generator, the repairs made shake the generator parts causing skill checks to be 10/20/25% smaller and slows down all generator repair speeds by 5/7.5/10% up to a max of 100% reduced skill zone and 40% slowed generator repair speeds.

Caution is amazing, and so is the power itself. A bit odd the terror radius is 20 meters for a very non-stealthy killer, possibly change it to 24? Your choice, just thought it was a bit strange. The killer is also a fair bit like the Trapper, so 115% movement speed would probably be fine. 120% is a bit excessive though, even for consideration, seeing as he's a normal person.
Technophobia is very much a killer's power more then it is a perk. A bit too game changing I'd say. Maybe a debuff to all action speeds that increases depending on how many people are on generators? Just a suggestion, a good concept but I think it's more suitable as a power.
Chosen One is a bit too complex for what it actually is. I think it should just be an obsession perk. It'd make being the obsession a downside, but fixing a problem with the game with a perk isn't a good solution, it would still be a good perk.
These are all just things I think, and if you don't agree feel free to ignore me. Over all a very good concept, and with a few changes it would be great.
(I didn't bother to read add-ons or anything to do with the Survivor, as add-ons are weird and it's hard to nitpick any of them besides iridescent ones, and I know nothing about Survivor)
Thank you for reading this mess of a response.

Thanks!
I actually agree with everything! I definitely can tweak some things.
Yeah originally I thought of caution as a perk to shut down chases and loops faster, and Chosen as a more lore themed but info giving perk.
Technophobia, I wanted it because it sounded nice but definite changes are needed.

Caution is definitely good, especially with bamboozle if the survivor continues trying to loop the same spot even without the window there.
It's cool basing perks off of lore, sometimes you don't see that. Chosen One was definitely a good idea, even with what I said.
Technophobia is a cool idea, you could even make a completely new killer based on it since it's a good idea. Even with it not being much of a perk with how much it does, still amazing.
Also- someone actually agreed with the stupid stuff I say? Amazing. xD
Glad you liked the ideas.

Yep I’m just glad someone actually acknowledged my posts presence.
Usually these things go quickly into the 3rd and 4th pages.

Rip, hope it stays first page so more people see it :D

Really good concept. The details of powers and the perks seems pretty good overall and I love the intergration of obsession mechanics into the addons, only other kills doing that being Myers and Freddy. The one thing that stood out to me though is that On Guard with OoO is kinda OP, so maybe make it have a cooldown or not get activated by the survivor revealing their own aura to the killer with other perk interactions like OoO, Mettle or Babysitter.
A couple questions though:
Would sabotaged machines come back after a period or stay perma broken. And can the killer pick up machines to be moved around.
1 -
Good point about on guard, I’ll change it.
Yes, machines can be moved around.
The laser head is the only machine that can’t be sabotaged.
The Machines aura is lit up red if sabotaged.
You can quickly repair it if you interact with it, or if you have hang mans trick they automatically come back after 30 seconds.
Without a perk though, they automatically repair after 160 seconds.
Final note: some machines can only be placed at pre set locations such as ( windows, corners, by walls, on generators) this only applies to laser head, led strip, maybe speakers.
