The Butcher (the chef that lost the plot) Allan Thomas was an experienced chef who lost the plot. His business was suffering so he decided to kill his workers and make them into pies. 


Power: Overcooked: a flamethrower for cooking. After heating for so long, you gain the 5 star course menu for 20 seconds. Every survivor burnt during this time becomes heated. Heated survivors spread flame to anything and anyone.


His perks include:


- Medium rare: when chasing a survivor his inner chef comes out. When a survivor stuns him with a pallet. Survivor gets injured.


- Undercooked: the butchers desire for perfection makes him hit the perfect slice. When a survivor is hit by the butcher the killer gains a 25% increase in speed for 20 seconds 


- Silver platter: for every generator completed all survivors become exposed for 30 seconds (hex)

    Oof..the perks though. 25% movement speed is massive. And injured while dropping pallet on face? That's an spirit fury enduring insta down combo

    Here's my run down for this killer concept, first thing is the lore. First off not a bad plot idea, I like that you generally some up the idea for this characters story, but its feels too quick and rushed. What I would want you to do is expand on that and give details like why did his businesses terrible? It would really help out greatly if you could tell us what time period hes in, and where he is, that will set up the theme of the story greatly.

    For his power, I can understand where you are coming from with this although I would like to know what does the heated status effect do, like what effects does it give other than just spreading flames, and it feels a lot like plague so you can expand a bit on that. I want to know why would I as the killer need to keep using it if there is no way to dows the flames if that is the case.

    Now for the perks, first off Medium rare by itself seems Op already, and I like it. However as a survivor how will I be able to counter it? So you have think of what the survivor could also do, and you need draw backs because you can't use every time someone stuns you.

    Undercooked, again extremely OP, this is basically a better version of Play with your food, there has to be drawbacks 25% is way to fast and 20 seconds is way to long. I would say make it slightly like 5% because that's an instant end chase for killer and is not fair for survivor.

    Silver Platter, now this one isn't as bad due to it being a hex but 30 seconds is quite long, I would say 20 seconds at least, although cool in concept well done.

    So these are some things I wanted to go over, again this is not terrible at all I like, I like it a lot, however, balancing wise is heavily needed, you may have to change some of the perks. Also I would like to know more about his story , it is very interesting so far and I would like to know more, so if you want expand on it please do so. Also make sure you add more to his power I would like to know what it does and why I the player would play as him. The idea of having a butcher in the game is cool but I personally feel like a Firefighter themed killer would also fit as well with the fiery theme but that's just me. Overall well done

    Medium rare would need a 60/90 second cool down and a requirement like spirit fury but would maybe make a nice addition to that combo but that would make it op. Getting spirit fury and this perk aligned would lead to damage by the pallet follow by fast possibility for a second hit. So maybe make their requirements contradicting?

    Undercooked would need to be times down to bloodlust 2 or 3 and the survivor hit for the activation should be protected for the duration with a mend effect similar to bt to prevent tunneling while also not be a free bodyblock. Also would be fitting themewise when the survivor is undercooked after cutting in and the killer leaves him to get well done XD. And duration maybe 10 to 15 seconds tops, enough to reach over half/whole map?

    Silver platter seems a little strong when combined with bitter murmur if I remember correctly. Maybe a liiittle shorter and/or with a range requirement like BBQ fitting to the timer?

    Thats what I was thinking you know something not to crazy but not something over the top

    But hey we know that useful perks like those will probably never come and it will be sugar-coated by saying "we don't want to put any stuff behind a paywall" again.

    I always wanted a flame thrower or fire type killer it would be cool (maybe not so great for FPS). The perks are really broken though.

    Ehm I don't understand? Nope like " I don't think like that"? Or like in "yep it will never happen"?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I’ll run it over and get back to you about the killer concept soon. ( yes the perks are OP, didn’t put too much thought into them at the time) cheers again.

    Yep it will never happen although it could, but eh who knows maybe it could for chapter 17 now that it is confirmed original
