New Survivor: Henry Rhineback

Backstory: Henry came from a middle class family in Toronto, he had above average grades and went to Queen's University Law School, Henry moved to New York and became a successful private lawyer at 31. But when Henry was assigned to represent Michael Brooks, he had no winning chance, so he made up several lies to try to cover up the evidence. These lies did not fool the judge and Michael was sentenced to life in prison, while Henry's license was revoked. This put him in a position with no job and nothing to make his house payment on time. After a few months he was evicted from his home and broke. On a foggy night, Henry was on the street with very little money to pay for food, so Henry decided to walked to Brooklyn Bridge, he then got on the ledge, and jumped. But right before he was going unconsciously drown, the fog consumed him..

New Map: Brook's Financial Services (New York)

Description: It's a skyscraper in New York that has been abandoned for years due to the serial killer Michael Brooks, inside it, there is conference rooms, a "working" elevator which only goes to Floor 44 (Water Pressure Room), Floor 47 (Executive Offices) and Floor 50 (CEO's Office). Be careful to not fall on top of the elevator when it goes down, the doors take a bit of time to shut, there is a hole on the roof of the elevator to drop down in case that happens. And of course there is fire safety regulations so there will be stairs if you don't want to use the elevator, there's a lot of stairs.

    Great Concept but SWF and Aura Reading perks would spell trouble for the killer.

    Is that a good thing or should I make it so killers can remove them? I had an idea while creating it where the perk allows you to put tiny flags in the ground but that wouldn't make that much sense for a lawyer, that's something a kid would do.

    You should add a blindness(to aura reading) effect for when you trigger Blend-in. so that your aura won't just pop out of nowhere to anyone who uses Bond or Kindred.

    Also add a penalty or debuff to survivors when they try to group up so they have to spread out in order to do anything.

    I thought I already put it so the killer is undetectable but I guess I just had the idea in my head but didn't type it, I also made it so Lawyers Prediction only works on generators and other survivors need to be within 8 meters of the survivor to see the killers aura.

    Another thing I did was make a rough draft of what the perk icon would be for Broken Man's Wrath.

    you need to block their aura reading because they'll see where the other 3 survivor is making you stand out(you're the only one without an aura), meanwhile if 4 of them stick together they'll easily suspect you're the killer.

    I mean.. I'm pretty sure they'd notice the killer by seeing his face. That's why he would need to hide his face, like this.

    I just found out that the developers said they wouldn't add anything like this. That's a shame.

    I changed the perk Hip New Music because it was too similar to Beast of Prey, it now grants the Undetectable status after a survivor has done a quarter of a generator.

    While having a killer that can "blend in" with survivors sounds neat on paper, it just opens up a whole bunch of problems that can't be solved without completely restructuring the game. If you scroll through the ideas people make that are similar to this concept, you'll find they all have similar problems.

    Legion was likely to be sort of similar to this, but early in development they found those problems and had to change things up completely.
