I personally main Dwight and Yun Jin, while my secondaries are Nancy, , Felix, Elodie. because i feel represented with Dwight. Im always shy and i identify myself with yun jin because im sometimes ambitious and codicious, i identify myself with Nancy aswell because she always speaks the truth and tries her best to reveal it, Felix doesnt give up even in the harsh situations and Elodie because i like paranormal things. Let me hear what you think!

    Killer: Trickster. He's fun and I never feel bad about losing as him.

    Survivor: Nea. Because I'm afraid of her. I don't want her to hurt me.

    Help me. Please.

    I currently play 80% of my games as David King with Black Guard Shirt and Jeans + Beard cosmetic because I like black. Looking into other cool goth-esque cloth combinations for survs.

    Killer side, I've been quite flex tbh. 40% of my games have been blight, with 60% across like 8 others.

    I main Elodie and Adam ( I'm a survivor main). I main Adam because I like his story and I see myself in him in some way. My family is also from Jamaica and I value education and learning just like him.

    I also main Elodie because of how stylish she is and I would love to be more stylish.

    Survivor, I main Claudette. I've just grown attached to her over the years but she in no way represents me. The closest I get to representation is Jeff, and I hate him because of it. Legitimately despise.

    Killer, it's Pyramid Head, and no I do not feel represented by a man with a large chunk of metal on his head and serious spinal problems.

    He looks too much like me & everything he does reminds me of him and I genuinely cannot stand it

    I have only been there once but it'd honestly great. The beach is amazing and the cities are nice. It's really hot though.

    There is also an amazing waterfall you can climb too. I hope to go back

    Killer: Micheal, because I like his snowball potential and I also like the idea of staring at a survivor before stabbing them fatally

    Survivor: Steve, the sole reason being that he is the cutest mf alive

    I'm a Dweet main (you'd never have guessed right), and I would say he represents a lot about me. He is a nerdy type, and I am definitely a nerd. He also has leadership qualities, and I am a teacher for a living which is definitely a leader/guidance type profession.

    As for killer, I would hope from a personal perspective that the killer I main represents nothing about me lol. Michael Myers is my main. But from a personal stand point he himself definitely comes from something I love, and that is the Halloween franchise. So in that regard Mikey definitely represents something about me.

    Killer: Demogorgon. His shred is incredibly fun to land and he has great map traversal. He's also one of the few killers in the game that I would say falls under the "intimidating" category of killers, in terms of it's general vibe. The sound design behind him has a lot of charm to it.

    Survivor: Elodie. I don't really main her for any reason other than I have all the perks for my "where the hell did they go" build on her: Lithe, Quick and Quiet, Dance With Me, Deception.

    Well, Trickster has a bit of a Slaanesh vibe for me. I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40k, and Slaanesh is my favorite Chaos God, so it fits. Rather ironic, seeing as BHVR also made a 40k game and killed it with bad decisions.

    As for Nea... she's watching me right now. I can feel her eyes penetrating into my soul. The darkness will consume me, and in it, I will see her. She will taste my fear and show me an oblivion the devils could never imagine. I can hear it now. The hallway of a thousand pallets. She waits for me there. I am not strong enough. Help me.

    Meghead for life <3!!! I see myself in her-- She's bold, energetic, and wants to be herself. I'm no athlete but I have been told I run pretty fast, but she's so cool and fast and pretty gygjkgb ;w; I always dress her up in pink outfits because it's close to my wardrobe lol! As for killer, I main Twins. I really admire Charlotte and her love for those in her life. She never gave up on Victor and protects him to the death and even beyond that, and also really deserves a hug

    I main David and Jeff for survivor. I'm from England like David, and I like that his backstory involves him fighting to protect his friends. For Jeff, I enjoy his story of being more laid back (and his adopted dog!), he just seems like a kind person. Both look cute and have good styles, too, which helps.

    For killer, I main doc, who (thankfully) doesn't represent me.

    Killer: Pyramid Head. I love the feeling of being a dominating, punishing force. I'm used to being powerless and getting bullied, so having a chance to reverse that role is my greatest power fantasy.

    Survivor: Claudette. I always play the support role in other games, and Botany Knowledge is amazing. Also, I don't play survivor enough to justify buying Jeffsus.

    I main Yui for survivor because I relate to her from her lore a lot and I am just in love with her. She’s my waifu and no one can tell me otherwise.

    I'm a middle aged single mom and I main shirtless David. I like to grunt along with him while cleansing totems. He brings out my manly side.

    Killer: Deathslinger

    Survivor: Claudette


    i love strategic Killers that play the game differently than others, so i used to be a Trapper main. that was until Deathslinger dropped. Trapper at that point (and up to this day) has been ignored by the Devs for way too long, which simply made him unenjoyable to play. I kept getting shafted due to outdated mechanics / RNG / outright bad gamedesign, which made me drop him more and more.

    when Caleb dropped, i found him to be incredibly fun to play. even if i wasnt the best with him, i had a lot more fun than i had with Trapper and ive stuck with him ever since.

    if i were to play a killer that represents me irl i'd be maining Blight (:


    i main Claudette because i never leveled anyone else. And i only started leveling her because she had selfcare (back in the day that perk was insanely good + i was bad so always being healthy was incredible). her being great for stealth was a banefit that i never had in mind and definitely not the reason why i started leveling her. and since i'm not interested in leveling other Survivors (they are just reskins after all), ive stuck with her.

    killer: Myers, i main him because DADDY. jk, i just main him cuz i think ghostface is overrated




    survivor: its complicated, i can give you a list of which survivors i play the most to least since i dont really have a main:

    (keep in mind this list would be a lot more complicated if i had more survivors unlocked)


    ash- something about playing him just boosts my mood for some reason. he also has really cool lobby voice lines

    quentin- killers usually dont expect much from quentins so i just lead the killer onto a 3 gen chase. i play him cuz no one else does. SERIOUSLY, in the past 400 hours ive only seen 3 quentins

    tapp- good perks, good stealth cosmetics, quiet grunts. he gets underestimated a lot

    david- my former main, it genuinely makes me shed tears when i think about the great moments we've had together😞

    laurie- i run the ultimate meta build on her. i usually only play her if i feel extra sweaty

    nea- same as laurie, but without the meta perks

    dwight- killers just dont want to chase you for some reason.

    meg- that deathgarden mask makes killers wish they never installed dbd in the first place

    bill- no cosmetics (besides his p3 and sweater), hes impossible to play without iron will. i ran out of build ideas for him so thats also a big reason why i dont play him

    I main Wraith cause i love how he plays.

    No, he does not represent me in any meaningful way.

    Closest thing we got in common is we're both men.

    Survivors I main:

    Tapp because he was released with my favourite killer; pig. No other reason

    Ash because I love Evil Dead and Ash Vs Evil Dead

    Nea because I wanted at least one original character with all perks

    Killers:

    Pig because I just like her and I like the concept of the reversed bear traps

    Clown because he is fun to play

    Trickster because he is very fun to play and I love his personality


    I don't think anyone of them represent me in anyway

    I main Steve because my hair is very similar. He's been my favorite character in Stranger Things throughout the whole thing and yes, even in season 1. I was so happy when he was added into Dead by Daylight although I was expecting Johnathan. He does represent me in the way that we're very similar personality wise. He's my boi

    Survivor: Min and Adam are my two mains ("main" being a very loose word here, since I play everyone, and ironically neither of them are my highest leveled, but they are my favorites). Min and I are both lone wolf gamers, but that's about where the similarities end. Adam and I... I mean, we're both guys. I like him for multiple reasons (I love his lore, I love trench coats, he just looks cool, etc.) but we have nothing in common.

    You want the Survivor who's most like me, go to Dwight. The biggest difference I can think of is him being described as academically unremarkable, when that was pretty much the only thing I was any good at.

    Killer: Doctor is my biggest main, and I can't say we're anything alike. At least... I hope I'm not a psychopathic, electricity shooting madman who performs experiments on the human psyche for fun.

    I main Nurse for killer. As for survivor I guess you can say Claudette is my main since she's usually who I play when I do play survivor.

    I wouldn't really say either of them represent me though. Closest one to that would probably be Legion although I hardly play them so...yea.

    Killer : Demogorgon (rip rat liver) I just like playing a huge monster from another dimension, its also fun to look at postgame chat and see that survivors love him aswell!

    Jake : I just like Jake, I watched monto in 2017 and (I think late 2016) He is the sole reason I play Jake. I will respect the man bun.

    Doctor called to me for 2 reasons

    1) His crazed giggles and maniacal laughter - he's evidently having a great time and I like that

    2) Madness does run a bit in my family, so his aesthetic did call to me. I'm not the type to shy away from darkness that haunts my genetics. I prefer to look straight on into the madness and laugh right back at it.

    Hex_Llama Member Posts: 1,831

    I really hope none of the killers represent me, but I main Pig, so... take from that what you will.

    On the survivor side, I don't have a main. I just play whichever character has a cool outfit.

    Gladonos Member Posts: 392

    Spirit: Phase Shift is ######### fun as hell. I love being able to trick survivors and pop out and grab them. I also like Trickster even though he is trash.

    Feng Min: She's attractive, stuck up and has the best outfits.

  • MadLordJack
    MadLordJack Member Posts: 8,814

    I main Zarina. There's no character in the game that represents me, but I do empathise with a childhood of pretending to be something you're not just to fit in.

  • Marigoria
    Marigoria Member Posts: 6,090

    I main Quentin because I'm just as tired of everything as he is.

    On the killer side I main Pig. No, I do not use illegal substances.

    As survivor, I main Claudette. She is one of the OGs, she has a tactical advantage, and she is really pretty. How can you not love her?

    As killer, I main Freddy, and have done so since I first started playing. ANOES movies were really important to me, and I really loved Old Freddy's power.

    I don't think they represent me, but I love them. My mains are my babies <3

    Survivor mains

    Bill

    Kate

    Claudette


    (All officially now have BT and self care... my favourite perk for bill being left behind and BT) just simply because it makes my game plans so much easier.


    Killer main

    Michael.... and that's simply because I adore Myers in general and I think if I was to turn into a nutter he'd give me good advice how to be so stealthy about it all. 😂


    I play both sides, if and when I feel. I prefer going matches in silent solo rather than mic it with my mates just because I can concentrate better 😌
