Killer:

The Machine

A sadistic killer, carrying a cold and silent heart and using Remnants of fallen survivors to help him locate and hunt down other survivors.

His personal perks, Faulty Wiring, Hex: Tortured Soul, and Dark Desire improve all of his aspects evenly so that he can handle nearly any situation.

Lore:

William Afton was once a simple man living a simple life with his three dear children. Running a pizzeria business with an old friend, in his eyes, he had everything. Everything changed on a fateful 1983 afternoon, when youngest son recieved a birthday present of teeth and blood.

William became obsessed with bringing back his child, and in his search for life granted death to a number of children at his business. Although dead, the children came back disguised as the machines who entertained guests at Freddy Fazbears pizzeria. Soon the objective of saving his son began fading from his memory, evading the police and escaping with the blood on his hands now became his top priority. In his own folly, he killed his daughter, and doomed his last son to life as puppetted corpse. Having nothing left William went to erase his mistakes, only to find his victims waiting for him. They trapped him inside a golden rabbit suit and he befell the same fate as those he slew.

William would rise again even after this. Chasing down his old business partner, he found himself face to face with his eldest son at a copycat pizzeria. Rage filled Williams iron lungs as he reached out to discipline his treacherous son. But as his hand flew forth it was met with the licking tongue of smoke and flames rising up around him. Confused, William began to panic, the flames slowly crawling up his body until suddenly, his thoughts were silenced. The cracking of branches and the whisper of air flew past him, and he found himself in a new but familiar place.

William, now known as the twisted animatronic Springtrap, found a new purpose after death. His old life, his children, and his legacy faded from his memory. In its place began a line of entrails stretching far beyond the chain of restaurants he once owned. Though he once served his own sick desires he now serves a new master. He was promised blood, and on the black tendrils of a beast older then time, blood he shall have.

Power:

Joy of Creation

The Machine is devoid of life, and therefore devoid of a terror radius. However his metallic footsteps emit a loud clanging.
The Machine is slowed to 105% movement speed when in a chase for more than 5 seconds, however when outside of a chase The Machine moves at approximately 135% speed.

Whenever a survivor is sacrificed or killed, Joy of Creation gains a charge.
The Machine starts the trial with 2 charges.

Pressing [LCTRL] when standing next to an uncompleted generator will harvest the generator for parts. This will reduce its progress by 15%, using up a charge of Joy of Creation, and creating a Remnant that will wander the map and look for survivors. Upon a survivor entering within the line of sight of a Remnant and being within 20 meters, it will scream, giving The Machine an audio cue and revealing the aura of the survivor for 5 seconds before resetting and looking for more survivors. If a Remnant is created and no charges are available, the oldest Remnant on the map will be consumed by the entity.

"Fascinating, what they have become."
-William "Springtrap" Afton

Perks

Faulty Wiring
-Whenever you receive an audio cue, the survivor who triggered it has their aura revealed to you for 3/4/5 seconds.

"They were never given a proper night mode..."

Hex: Tortured Soul
-A Hex rooting its power in pain and suffering. Your Years spent in terrible agony have been focused into a vile curse. Every time you are stunned by a survivor, Hex: Tortured Soul gains a token.

2 Tokens: -/Gain 20% Action Speed and 2% Movement Speed/Gain 30% action speed and 4% movement speed

4 Tokens: Gain 20% Action Speed and 2% Movement Speed/Gain 40% Action Speed and 4% movement speed/Gain 50% Action Speed and 6% Movement speed

6 Tokens: Gain 50% Action Speed and 6% Movement Speed/Gain 60% Action Speed and 7% Movement Speed/Gain 70% Action Speed and 8% movement Speed

8 Tokens: Gain 70% Action Speed and 8% movement Speed/Gain 100% Action Speed and 10% movement Speed/Gain 100% Action Speed, 10% movement Speed, and the charge time of your power is reduced by 50%

"But I have an even better surprise for you, and you're not gonna believe this- we found one. A REAL one."

Dark Desire
-You revel in the pain you imagine causing for others. When in a chase with a healthy survivor bloodlust activates 10%/15%/20% faster.

Mori

The survivor is on the ground with The Machine simply observing them from behind. Suddenly the Survivor violently pulls themselves up and turns around to find nothing behind them. The camera slowly pans around as we see The Machine behind the survivor still observing them. The survivor slowly turns around again as The Machine violently punches into their chest. His hand slowly lifts the Survivor off the ground and the Survivors face up to his, his hand twisting around inside of the Survivor. The Survivor weakly tries to move their hands and arms as The Machine looks them up and down. Eventually we hear a cracking noise as the Top half of The Machine's mask rolls upwards exposing The Machine's torn up face. The Survivor tries harder to move but still can't muster the strength to mount any significant resistance as The Machine opens up his mouth. The camera cuts to the ground where we see the Survivors feet kicking and hear them scream alongside the classic FNAF 3 jump scare noise that are both cut short by a horrible crunch accompanied by a splay and a gurgle.. The survivors legs go limp as we see their body flop to the ground, their face turned away from the camera.

Survivor:

Michael Afton

A supernatural guardian, able to assist his team in harsh situations when the chips are down and out.

His personal perks, Necromantic, Heroism, and Impersonator improve the perks of other survivors and increase the chances of survival in a sticky situation.

Lore:

Michael was in every way a man that refused to grow up. He was always enamored with toys and costumes and found them endearing in a way reminiscent of a young child. He was the crown jewel of his family for a time, his father showing him all of his newest creations and giving him free Fazbear merchandise at his behest. When his brother and sister were born however, his fathers attention was split between the three of them, leaving Michael often playing with his Foxy plushie alone.

His jealousy towards his siblings eventually manifest itself in the cruelest way on his brothers birthday. Alongside his friends Michael threw his brother into the jaws of the main animatronic entertainer in order to scare him. A harmless prank quickly scattered to the wind in the midst of the earth shattering silence broken only by the pitter patter of blood droplets onto the ground.

Michael became the bane of his fathers work. Shunned out of his family, he left the life of a child behind and learned to live on his own. His father would often ask him to help run errands and out of guilt Michael would always obey. It wasn't until his sister died that Michael began doubting his father. After being commanded to retrieve some animatronics from an underground facility and being killed in the process, Michael rose again. This time fueled by an intense want of answers, and an overwhelming need to know the truth.

Working undercover as a night-guard at his fathers business he tracked him through the years. Ultimately leading him to meet his business partner Henry and lay down a trap for his father. Michael would manage a copycat Pizzeria in the image of his fathers restaurant in order to lure him and his creations there and finally end their suffering. The plan went swimmingly and as he stood face to face with his father he accepted his fate, and lay in the bed of flames to be given rest. However instead of embracing the raging pyre he found himself sitting next to a humble campfire, surrounded by other people alongside a strangely enticing mist.

Michael had cheated death once before, and now he would do so again. Driven by a newfound desire to deliver those around him to a place of peace, he will stop at nothing until all who suffer because of his family find justice.

Perks

Necromantic

"Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling you are right where you want to be."
-??????

Impersonator

The Map

Realm
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria

Offering
Burnt Microphone
It still hums as if singing songs long after the demise of it's owner...

Locations
Fredbear's Diner
(This location would be a frame shaped map with a medium sized underground area similar to Badham preschool. The map itself is the overworld from FNAF 4 featuring the Afton house and the small Fredbear & Friends restaurant. The underground area would go underneath the middle of the map and connect the Afton House to the restaurant and include winding industrial hallways. There would be a generator in the crying childs room that would ring the clock loudly whenever it was completed similar to the Pale Rose horn.)

Achievement
The map related achievement "Graveyard Shift" would be finishing the Generator in the crying childs room and living to tell the tale.


Please let me know what you think! Accidentally posted this a bit early so I've made important edits to it since then. I'd love to hear your feedback~

    I can tell a lot of effort was put into this! Nice!

    You definitely put a lot of effort into the concept. Please take my feedback as the healthy criticism it is meant to be. I don't like the killer's power for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that it doesn't actually help you chase survivors. Like at all. Not only that, but you'd be running at 105% move speed when it matters the most. It would be torture chasing survivors around. The other thing I don't like about it is that you are introducing AI characters into the game. The random nature of their movement isn't skill based.

    As far as the perks go: Faulty Wiring. This is pretty overpowered in some ways when you think about it. I don't really have a problem with the survivors getting their aura revealed for a few seconds if they fail a skill check on a generator. But I do have a problem with survivors auras constantly being revealed in a chase when they fast vault a window. The biggest problem would be with tunneling since it would effect unhooks. It could also have problems with synergy on other perks or abilities. Lol, it would crap all over distortion though.

    Hex: Tortured Soul I have a couple of issues with. I don't really think killers should be rewarded for having their head slammed by survivors. I have no issues with perks that counter pallet stuns, but no perk should have a killer saying "please, may I have another?" Aside from that, the bonuses are a bit on the bonkers side. Have a different way to acquire the tokens and tone down the bonuses and it'd be cool.

    Dark Desire. I have no problem with it. I doubt it would see much play though since bloodlust has been nerfed.

    Necromantic, this is an interesting idea. The vast majority of the time it wouldn't actually do anything unless you stacked luck effects. You would just wind up killing yourself faster. I guess it would be fine.

    Heroism, I have a couple issues with this perk. How many actions are you using after the exit gates are powered? You don't have any generators to work on. So that only leaves unhooking, healing, and breaking totems right? The bonus is incredibly small and the conditions for the bonus bloodpoints are kind of silly. I don't think there really should be any occasion where a survivor will gain more bloodpoints for getting themselves killed. I can just see stupid occasions where 3 survivors have escaped and one survivor is begging the killer to kill them.

    Impersonator- I don't like that this perk is basically a SWF only perk. It would be borderline insane bringing this perk not knowing what your allies are running. Also, 9 times out of 10 if you wanted to stack effects it would just be better to bring the same perk yourself. But it is very creative idea. I can honestly say I haven't ever seen anything like it suggested before.

    Anyway, those are my thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to come up with this post. I enjoyed reading it.

    Anyway, those are my thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to come up with this post. I enjoyed reading it.

    Thanks! I had a lot of trouble thinking up the killers perks, and I think that kind of shows in the quality of thought put into some of them (such as Hex: Tortured Soul like you stated)

    The biggest thing behind Necromantic is that It's meant to be used with other perks such as Up the Ante and Deliverance, by itself its not very useful.

    Impersonator is my attempt at making a bit more team based play in perks... I once saw a chart listing all the perks on an X and Y axis by "Overpowered/Underpowered", and "Situational/Team based" (or something along those lines) and noticed that there were very few perks that really focused on teamplay.

    Heroism would only give you more bloodpoints than an escape if you had done well that match (15k or better) and would still sacrifice your ranking so while I do think you hit the nail on the head with the issue of people trying to kill themselves for points, I don't think it would be a massive issue outside of bloodpoint events. As for the action speed, it could help you with healing and unhooking as you said, but also if one of the exits was still unopened, or if you were facing a killer that had some kind of action tied to their power (Removing Pig traps, snapping out of it, waking someone up, etc...)

    As for Faulty Wiring, I actually did not even consider the possibility of revealing survivor aura's mid chase due to window jumps... (not sure how that didn't occur to me since it seems obvious...) And I'm not sure how that makes me feel... Thanks for pointing that out!

    As for the power, the movement speed thing is mostly a thing I tried to do to make the killer a bit more interesting than just normal killer with AI assistance. But it's purpose is to allow you to have very high map control and get a good hit on survivors before they realize you're coming (as your footsteps would be heard from a lesser range than a terror radius) Kind of similar to how the Pig and Michael can get easy first hits the same way.
    I'm not really of the same mind of a lot of the community where I think that every killer needs to have a power that helps in the chase, but I do see the issues with not being able to compensate for chasing time. I wanted this killer to be less of a mechanical skill based killer (ironic, I know...) and more of a mental skill based killer (ala the Hag and Trapper). I don't think the remnants are quite as random as they are at first glance because the idea I had was to build remnants around gens you know survivors are going to try and do (such as pale rose gen) and use the discs to change their AI and manipulate survivor behavior accordingly. I'd like to hear any thoughts regarding editing the power to be more interactive and more balanced keeping that design philosophy in mind~

    Heroism would only give you more bloodpoints than an escape if you had done well that match (15k or better) and would still sacrifice your ranking so while I do think you hit the nail on the head with the issue of people trying to kill themselves for points, I don't think it would be a massive issue outside of bloodpoint events.
    As for the power, the movement speed thing is mostly a thing I tried to do to make the killer a bit more interesting than just normal killer with AI assistance. But it's purpose is to allow you to have very high map control and get a good hit on survivors before they realize you're coming (as your footsteps would be heard from a lesser range than a terror radius) Kind of similar to how the Pig and Michael can get easy first hits the same way.
    I'm not really of the same mind of a lot of the community where I think that every killer needs to have a power that helps in the chase, but I do see the issues with not being able to compensate for chasing time. I wanted this killer to be less of a mechanical skill based killer (ironic, I know...) and more of a mental skill based killer (ala the Hag and Trapper). I don't think the remnants are quite as random as they are at first glance because the idea I had was to build remnants around gens you know survivors are going to try and do (such as pale rose gen) and use the discs to change their AI and manipulate survivor behavior accordingly. I'd like to hear any thoughts regarding editing the power to be more interactive and more balanced keeping that design philosophy in mind~

    Survivors would actually only need to earn more than 10k bloodpoints to make it a positive bloodpoint gain over escaping through the door. They would need to earn more than 14k bloodpoints to earn more than using the hatch. The bonus is 50% so anything more than 10k would give more than the 5k escape bonus. Even if the circumstances are rare, I just don't think a perk should reward survivors for getting themselves killed. BTW, you make it sound like losing rank is a bad thing. Many players view that as a goal, so rewarding them for doing what they were trying to do is just a bonus. Though with the current Emblem system, the survivors would still probably pip if they made it to the stage that exit gates were opened.

    As far as the killer's ability goes, I'll have to think on it. I missed the significance of the 5 seconds of chase at 135% movement speed. That actually pushes the killer into overpowered territory since getting that first hit would be laughably easy. Then the optimal play is to lose the chase and follow the bloodtrail to re-engage the survivor for the second hit. Really, the killer is a reverse Legion when you think about it. I also have strong reservations on the 0 terror radius. Loud walking noise or not having a 0 terror radius has significant in game ramifications. The killer could never trigger Borrowed Time. So the optimal play is often to camp/tunnel with this killer.

    If you are standing still then you are making no noise so survivors won't know you are nearby. They run up and unhook, killer easily chases and downs the unhooked survivor and hooks again and there is almost nothing that survivors can do about it. The whole killer ability might just be fundamentally flawed. I'll try to think of something though.

    On the concept itself:

    I'm not one to comment on the perks itself, but this concept and character has been on the rise. The only thing I'd say is to not name him The Machine. I don't think that really fits with him from what I really know, because I think he's a human as well. I'd call him The Attraction or The Mascot to be completely honest, The Machine sounds bland. Other than that, I wouldn't include a survivor to be completely honest. I think there's a new FNaF game coming out towards the end of this year (?) introducing actual human designs and such, so I would wait until then. If that doesn't work out, I'd just have Springtrap be added on his own.

    On the character coming into the game:

    A year ago I would've said hell no to this, but now, I'm more open to Springtrap than ever.

    If the Demogorgon was added and even Stranger Things was aimed towards teens and adults, FNaF seems to have that target audience now. To be honest, I thought it was on the same level as those odd indie "horror" games that all these younger children go to, but apparently, the community doesn't seem like that now. It seems a lot of the community is a lot older and such, and I believe the new games are being made in Unreal Engine 4 in collaboration with other studios now.

    Community or not, I think he would be a really neat addition to the game. We need more variety in killers as well, and this plays on the fear of robots and mascots which would be great. I believe he's a sentient human as well inside of the suit (from what I've heard), and with his pretty humanoid design already, I believe it's humanoid enough to get added.

    I just think if an aggressive Springtrap killer was added, clanking metal feet, fleshy sounds and all, would be terrifying to go up against in my opinion. I'm not too much into the FNaF franchise itself, but I think the killer as a whole would be a scary one to add to the game.
