Dead By Daylight Concept Chapter

This is a long one, buckle up. I hope you like this concept chapter.

THE NEW KILLER IS: THE hEADSMAN

LORE:

The name of this killer is unknown. His origins can be traced back to a small town in Britain. He was an executioner. He'd kill those who dared oppose the ruler of the town publicly, for all to see. He was a presence of evil, and yet a hero to the people. He showed no emotion in killing. If anything, he seemed to take pleasure in it. He'd take the heads of those he killed and decorate his chamber with them. He'd use them in every way he could. He would bash in the skull and put candles in them. He'd use them to hang his cloak and hood. But when the town revolted, he was the one in a guillotine. His head was taken and kept by the leader of the revolution. The entity saw his potential and fused his head to his body. It came at the cost of serving the entity. While he enjoyed killing, he didn't want to kill for another. It took some convincing from the alchemist, but he eventually decided to kill for the entity.

I think it's cool to have a killer who actually had another interaction with another killer. Basically the blight gave him some drugs, which was torturous enough for him that he killed for the entity.

Weapon: The Axe: An executioner's axe speckled in pestula serum

Appearance: Fully covered in a black hood and cloak, to cover his blighted body.

Height: Tall

Speed: 115%

Tr: 32 meters

POWER:

THE SHACKLES OF THE FALLEN

Using the power button, The Headsman can set a CHAIN as a trap for any door or window. He has 8 of these. when he places a ninth one, the one that was placed the least recently gets replaced. Survivors can take 1.5 seconds to disarm a chain. A chain is also destroyed when a vault location is blocked.

When a survivor triggers a CHAIN, they suffer the HINDERED status effect for 8 seconds. This stacks for every other chain triggered within 30 seconds for a speed reduction of up to 24% at a time. When a survivor moves through a chain, it gets attached. For each attached chain, the survivor's action speed is reduced by 7% for all actions. This multiplies for every chain the survivor has attached. There are two ways to remove chains:

• Getting put into the dying state
• Getting the chains removed by another survivor

Survivors with 3 or more chains start suffering from the new TORTURED status effect, exclusive to the headsman. They begin suffering from the effect after 10 seconds. This effect causes survivors to lose a health state when using an exhaustion perk, skill check success zones are reduced, and failed skill checks reveal your aura to the killer for 3 seconds. Tortured survivors take 200% longer to unhook and will scream on occasion. Survivors in 3 or more chains also suffer from the MANGLED status effect.

Alternate ability: Brutal Chain

Press the ACTIVE ABILITY button to throw a chain that lassos survivors and slowly pulls them toward you. There are three outcomes that this can produce:

• An ENTITY PORTAL opens. These are portals only survivors can go through. They can be used by the killer to send survivors to undesirable locations. This portal will put the survivor as far as possible from an uncompleted generator. If no generators are completed, the survivor is teleported to the basement. Portals stay on the map for 10 seconds after a survivor is teleported. Injured survivors are put into the DYING state after going through a portal. Injured survivors are transported as far away as possible from other survivors. You see the aura of survivors for 10 seconds after they exit a portal, and if they get put into the dying state their aura is revealed until they are picked up. Any survivor that enters a 12 meter radius of a downed survivor gets teleported away.
• If the survivor is on death hook, they can be EXECUTED. This takes 15 seconds to complete and the survivor can be freed by another survivor, stunning the killer.
• You can cancel chain prematurely to stun the survivor momentarily. You suffer a short fatigue period when doing this.

You do not start the match with CHAIN. You cannot cancel CHAIN or kill with it when lassoing an injured survivor. CHAIN has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
