    The icons down by your perks are the symbols for the perks that you are currently being effected by.

    Picture 1: Deathbound

    Picture 2: Thanatophobia and Kindred

    The red means that it's something that you are being held back/given a disadvantage from. Deathbound causing the oblivious status effect that you got in the first picture and thanatophobia slows down certain actions. The blue I think just means you're being effected by it positively. The red symbol by your repair bar is just indicating that your repair speed is slower.

    Hope that helps!

    The oblivious status effect in the first pic prevents you from hearing the killers Terror Radius.

    The red means that you're going slower.

    You'll see it when working with another person on a gen, because although it is faster, your individual action speed is decreased.

    Circles on the Right of the screen are basic status effects. Red is bad yellow is good. The mini diamonds at the bottom are perk effects that show up when a outside perk affects you character. The red clockwise spin effect on the perks or the orange ring on the statuses are timers till they end.

    In the first picture you are affected by the oblivious status which means you cannot hear the tearer radius and are not counted as inside the tearer radius. This is from the perk deathbound from the exicutioner which activates if you heal outside of its range and will make you scream. Also if you leave the survivor that you healed/healed you you will be obvious for a duration.

    In the second picture has you under the affects of kindred in blue and thanatophobia in red. Thanatophobia (from the nurse) slows the progression of most actions (as shown by the red progress bar) for every nonhealthy but also living survivor. Kindred shows the aura of all other survivor to each other and the aura of the killer (when in range) for the entire time the survivor with the perk is hooked.

    The loading screen should actually explain all the different status effects instead of telling the killer that he should search survivors near gens or something useless like that.
