Pulling Survivors from Different Eras into the Fog

To start off, I haven't read all of the lore xD. I know some of the killers come from different centuries, but I'm not sure on survivors. It would be interesting to see new survivors added to the game from different historical periods or future. I'm honestly just extremely interested in seeing even more culture and era centric themes. I'll post some examples:

Native Era - Male Indian Survivor (maybe some Turok type guy) and the killer could be "The Witch Doctor" or "The Shaman" maybe he has four arms and wears a crazy looking mask. His power may be to cast spells on other survivors maybe distorting the sound, visuals, or invert controls? Just a thought

Scandinavian Theme - Female Shield Maiden and the killer could be the Fossegrim who uses his fiddle to paralyze survivors as a type of hypnosis.

Victorian Era - Male Survivor works as a Butcher - the killer could be a Vampire, but like the victorian vampires or a lycan. Easy story to tell in the fog because the butcher could discover his livestock disappearing and ends up discovering the monster. I know we have the Oni who sucks up blood orbs...but I'm sure we can find someway to fit a vampire in or at least the lycan.

80s Era - Female Goth Chick (please xD lol) and the killer could be some 80s themed killer like pumpkin head or something 80s themed.

Futuristic Era - No Assigned Gender human android and the killer could be an evil cyborg, something similar to terminator. We can call it skynet lol joking...but something similar would be cool

That's about all the ideas I have at the moment currently. I was also thinking that since a lot of people play survivors...maybe we could add survivor chapters without killers? If coming up with powers for killers and design is too complicated just release new survivors that don't have 3 unique perks. I think we have the majority of perks we can get for this game. I'd say just add new characters without unique set of perks and if you add a killer maybe no unique perks just a unique power. That's all I have to say about that. Sorry for my punctation...I didn't really care to go back and spiff this up...hope yall can read it xD.

    im open to survs of different eras (in fact i think that would be really cool) but as for chapters without killers, BHVR wouldnt do that cuz killers are a bigger highlight than survs

    Well, they added The Cennobite and Ghost Face chapter without adding survivors, but those were licensed killers. I think you're right tho, they should continue to release survivors and killers together, but the game is already pretty full with perk abilities. That's why I was thinking about the option of getting rid of the unique perks when adding new chapters...it's a bit over saturated with many perks now. Just add the chapters and give the killer a unique power. Even with giving the killer a unique power it will probably be hard...I mean there's only so much more one can come up with. Maybe I'm just not thinking creatively enough xD.

    Good call honestly, it's kind of weird how you have an ancient japanese samurai Oni, but the survivor from the chapter is from modern times. Would be very cool to see survs from different time periods.

    I was thinking the same about the Twins being from the 17th century and how Elodie looked so modernized. I have tons of interesting ideas, only hope that they can see this and maybe consider it 😅.

    I was just thinking of another idea!

    Pirate Era (10th century) - Female Greek Pirate (based on the story of Tetua an ancient Greek queen and Illyrian pirate at the time). Maybe the killer could also be a monster from Greek Mythology. That would be really fun :).
