Not long after that summer many mysterious disasters, disappearances, and deaths started occurring including some of the workers started reporting whispers of a voice they couldn't understand or pinpoint where it was coming from. One day of Spring in 1910 the mine would be closed forever after 17 most gruesome murders had occurred by some type of drilling mechanism.

Killer: Gordon Nathaniel Thompson a.k.a. "The Brute"


"I swore to myself not to vomit when I came across the gruesome bloody corpse by this vileness being which had drilled through their abdomen. Though I swore I still couldn't help myself from vomiting, for I saw the entire inner cavity of their chest with blood and gore everywhere including the pulverized missing head. Wait! I swore I heard the revving of some sort of engine. I see him! I HAVE TO RUN! IF THIS SO BE MY FINAL TAPE PLEASE TELL JENA I LOVE….. *Roaring engine and heavy fast stomps preceded by blood curdling screams and gargling*.” - Unknown Tape of Trial 47.


Lore: Gordon "The Brute" Nathaniel Thompson was once a well respected and hard working miner for the Roosevelt Silver Mine. Gordon was also a bit of a tinkerer and inventor which the company he worked for loved since he helped increase work efficiency. Though Gordon was respected by a lot of people, although some resented him out of pride and fear that he would make those people lose their jobs. One day in the Spring of 1910, some of the disgruntled workers devised a plan to get rid of Gordon. They lured Gordon into a part of the mine and proceeded to pummel him near to death and entrapped him into a cave in with dynamite. When the cave in had occurred his right arm was torn off by the explosions and his ears scorched with the rest of his head. Chunks of silver rocks embedded into the back of his head and body as well had occurred too. Gordon now lying on the ground near death heard an eerie, ominous and strange voice come to him. The voice called out if Gordon wanted to live and seek vengeance upon those who wrong him. Gordon replied yes while spitting out blood he was choking on. The voice gave him materials and tools to save himself only in exchange to work for this voice. Gordon agreed and was partially healed enough to save himself and replaced his right arm with a large drill. A few hours later Gordon had freed himself from his tomb. Gordon barely standing and in extreme pain finally found those who tried to murder him earlier. Filled with the rage of unholy vengeance began killing them all one by one with all who would stand in his way. After that Gordon retreated back into the mine once the Pinkertons the mine owner hired to kill Gordon. A black shroud began covering the sky and the mine only to disappear as quickly as it came once Gordon reentered the mine. The Pinkertons had searched for Gordon in the mine but couldn't find him. One more month after the incident the mine would be closed forever with Gordon to never be seen again.

Where I'm at sure seems like a good time compared to civilian life, just need some way to bring the fight to them freaks! - Veronica Morris


Survivor: Veronica Morris


Lore: Since birth, Veronica has always been a fighter. Through life Veronica had traveled from one U.S. Marine Corps military base to another as a child and through her teen years. She was always told to try and stay out of trouble but never back down from a fight. That lesson that her father instilled into her was something she would never forget; even though, it caused Veronica to get into a lot of trouble. When Veronica enlisted at 18 she couldn't help herself from following in her father's footsteps as a Marine. During Veronica's training she was harassed nonstop until she proved herself to not be messed with and could dish out the pain as any man could. She completed training at the top of her class and was instantly promoted to First Sergeant due to her immense leadership, tactical, strategic, and shooting skills that proved to be beyond average. When Veronica had turned 19 her company was called up to arms for a tour in Afghanistan where she would see unspeakable and barbaric sights that would change her forever. During her first tour she would receive two Purple Hearts and one Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal from two different instances while protecting her squad mates from ambushes. On her second and final tour when she was 21 in Afghanistan. Veronica would receive her Afghanistan Campaign Military Medal, Battle Participation Ribbon, Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Bronze Star for Valor, Distinguished Service Medal, and Honorable Discharge Lapel Pin after returning home. She would go on to run her grandfather's mechanics shop until one night when a bizarre intense storm would come around. That night would be the last night anyone would ever see her again. Now Veronica had been pulled into the Entity's game to test her mettle to survive. Veronica now can't wait for her chance to battle the beasts unleashed upon her and others to feel like a Marine again.

    I really like this idea, it had a lot of care put into it.

    I love how much detail is put into this, I dont think I've ever seen someone put achievements to go with their chapter on here before. Not to mention how much detail you put into this with the cosmetics and add-ons.

    I like the concept behind the Brute. Gameplay wise, he sounds kinda like a wraith alternative to me. While the wraith isn't completely invisible, but has his terror radius repressed, The Brute is essentially completely invisible, but has a larger terror radius. When he's traveling underground, what does his vision look like? Is it similar to the demogorgon, or would the camera be right above the ground. I do have a couple balance suggestions. I think he should either take longer to exit the ground, or have reduced movement speed temporarily afterwards. Cause wile the increased terror radius would still give people more time to react, at 135% movement speed, you could catch up to them no problem pretty quickly. To compensate for that though, I think it could be fair to reduce the cooldown of the ability a little.

    As far as perks go, Fresh Meat sounds a little to similar to infectious fright, especially on killers with instadown abilities where a hit is also a down. Dark forces I like, it seems like a good way to protect your totems while also making you more dangerous in the end game, especially with The Brute's unique ability. Could make survivors think twice about 99ing gates. Blood rush I also like, but I think the extended duration should be shorter. I feel like in 20 seconds after ending a chase, you could run off, find someone else and still have bloodlust. And now that you're in a chase again, you're still maintaining it.

    Semper Fidelis really only needs to do one of those two things. Endurance only effects you if you would be put into the dying state, which if you're healthy, you wouldn't be unless the killer has instadowns. There's also really no point in Fighting Spirit ignoring exhaustion since being hooked instantly cures exhaustion. Also ignoring exhaustion for escaping from a bear trap is just kinda a slap in the face to a killer with an already fairly weak ability. The exhaustion should also just trigger regardless of if youre in the terror radius. Being able to potentially use two exhaustion perks back to back is kinda whack, ngl. Intense Experience though, I take no issue with, that's just pretty useful.

    Overall, I do really like this chapter and the amount of effort you put into this is amazing. I would love to see more work with this much love put into it from you.

  • Well thanks for the comments. The FOV would be underground like the Demogorgon's tunnel ability while can see outliers of survivors and objects within a 16 meter radius but able to track generators normally.

    I also wrote this before the Plague came out.

    I didn't realize that, I guess you were ahead of the curve on that one, sweet!

    How would the power work on two story maps like Lampkin lane, the game and Midwich?

  • Good question. I never thought about that until now really.
