Your Character Ideas

Malum_Midnight · November 2020

I want to know some of your killer/survivor ideas based on backstory. I like the lore aspect of the game, and I’ve seen plenty of gameplay and perk ideas, but I rarely see backstory/themed character ideas. The ones I do see, however, are magnificent. One I’ve had in mind a bit is a rouge viking, but that seems a bit too close to Oni. Anyway, I hope this can be a chill thread about killer/survivor themes and backstories. I also hope this is the correct section for this.

Personally I would like to see more backstories then "oh they went missing!!! into the fog xD" but rather meaningful and actually driven stories that help explain their perks and actually delve into it. Not much of a lore person myself but I don't see an issue with more of it ^^

Some people include those story’s in their character or chapter concepts in the ‚Share your work‘ category:

I can't resist a chance to show off a creation I worked so hard on for others viewing pleasure, especially when they ask for it, and genuinely seem enthusiastic enough to possibly read it (its a long read, which is why included a TL;DR for convenience). Any comments or creative criticism is welcome in the linked post, I'm always up for fine tuning my killer/chapter concepts if need be. 🙂

This was my killer concept. I don't know if the backstory is the best you've ever seen but I hope you like it. I think the backstory is quite interesting but I may be biased lol
