Lore: Not much is known about the infamous Kansas Murderer. All we knew about him was he was deeply intelligent, sadistic, unstoppable, with a seemingly unquenchable thirst for violence. He murdered various high school students, always with a axe and almost always in a violent and bloody manner. He knew how to cover his tracks, blackmail, manipulate, sabotage, repair, track, stalk, and murder with almost supernatural ease. Not once has anyone heard him speak, smile, cry, laugh or do anything other then stare. Its a rare occasion you can catch him blinking. So when he vanished, and the murders came to an end, it was like something else had been there.... like another entity has taken him for its own...

Main Weapon: Bloody Axe: A bloody hatchet that had claimed countless foolish lives.

Power: Empowered Cleave

Press the power button to lower your movement speed down to 95%. While moving slower, the Slasher swings his axe in a violent arc. The swipe is 180 degrees and has a range of 10 meters. Any survivor hit by this suffers from the haemorrhage status effect and loses one health state. After a successful hit, the Slasher gets the Haste status effect and enters a different attack animation where the Slasher lunges and brings his axe down in similar animation to Demon Strike, yet you move much faster and have a larger FOV. This has a range of 16 meters. Successfully landing that animation reduces the stun time of pallets by 30% for the remainder of the trial and breaks pallets quicker by 30% for the remainder of the trial. After landing your final hit enter a 4 second fatigue animation.

Secondary Power: Grab

Pressing the secondary power button causes the Slasher to lunge forward 8 meters grabbing any survivors in your path. After grabbing a survivor both the survivor and a killer will be forced to struggle by spamming a single button. Whichever side fills up their bar first wins the grab. If the Slasher wins the grab they will slam the survivor into the ground or wall before throwing them into the ground, knocking the survivor into the dying state. This has a 20 second cooldown.

Active Ability: Ambush

After initiating a cleave, press the Active Ability button to jump high into the air. While in the air, the Slasher gets 3 seconds to locate and Ambush a survivor. If the killer fails, they will smash back down into the ground directly beneath the Slasher. If they can find a survivor, pressing the power button will cause them to enter an animation where the Slasher drops down on their head and cleaves their skull in with his axe, instantly downing the survivor and entering an animation where the Slasher stomps on the survivors shoulder and yanks the axe out of the survivors head. This has a 30 second cooldown and can be cancelled by looking at the Slasher for 5 seconds.

Perks

Unstoppable: When a toolbox repair is being done on a generator, the generators Aura turns yellow and regresses the moment the toolbox repair has ended or been interrupted. The generator regresses 10/20/30% faster then usual.

Obsessive: Start the trial with an obsession. When the obsession is unhooked, wiggles away, or fixes a generator the obsession cannot perform fast vaults for 30/40/50 seconds and all other survivors are sacrificed 10/15/20% faster..

Hex: Season of Fear: After each generator is complete, another generator becomes unavailable for as long as the hex still stands.
