New Killer Concept - The Reclaimed

I know it's been a very long time since I posted my last killer concept, but I genuinely had no other unique ideas for a new one. That is until about a week ago, when I thought up The Reclaimed, a weak chasing killer with a heavy presence map-wide. So, I hope you enjoy what I have in store for you here today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time in-game when I started this concept: 643 hours

Time in-game when I finished this concept: 670 hours

Chapter #??: Withering Verdancy

The Reclaimed:

Name: N/A

Terror Radius: 32 meters

Speed: 4.6 m/s (115% movement speed)

Height: Medium

Difficulty: Medium

Weapon: Thorned Branch

Successful Basic Hit Animation: The branch jitters before its thorns fall off, regrowing back in place.

Mori: (W.I.P.)

Character Model: A rotted corpse covered in growth and various other botanical features.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Power: Vineweaver;

Vineweaver has 3 power tokens to begin with. The Reclaimed can consume a power token to place a vine between two surfaces within an 8m range of itself. A single token takes 4 seconds to regenerate. When placing a vine with all 3 vines out, the oldest vine will be destroyed and replaced with the newer one. Vines hinder survivors for 2.5 seconds when they walk through them (-5% movement speed).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Special Map Element: The Verdant Domain;

A rapidly spreading forest that threatens to engulf the entire map in flora. As time goes by, the Verdant Domain expands from the middle of the map outwards until it fully covers the map. It does so in 5 stages, the transitions for which will play a sound cue for both The Reclaimed and the survivors. The stages go as follows (sizes are in diameter):

Stage 1: 1m - 24m 

The beginning stage of the forest. No effects. Takes one minute to reach Stage 2.

Stage 2: 24m - 32m

Accelerated forest growth. Takes 45 seconds to reach Stage 3.

Stage 3:  32m - 56m

Spores hang in the air, causing survivors in the Verdant Domain to cough frequently. Takes one minute to reach Stage 4.

Stage 4: 56m - 84m

Further accelerated forest growth. Survivors in the Verdant Domain hear distant Terror Radius music for the entirety of Stage 4 if in the forest. Takes two minutes to reach stage 5.

Stage 5: 84m - 200m (basically from 84 meters until it fills the rest of the map)

Hyper-accelerated forest growth. Vines fill the forest, hindering survivors who walk through them (-3% movement speed for 1.5 seconds per vine). Vines growing from the Verdant Domain will only ever appear in a particular position once. Will finish the forest’s growth in 45 seconds (five and a half minutes for the full effects of the Verdant Domain to be available (5.5 minutes from Stage 1 to Stage 5)).

Additionally, vines placed in the Verdant Domain via Vineweaver will be empowered by 2% per Stage (5% at Stage 1 (same strength as vines placed outside the V.D.), 7% at Stage 2, 9% at Stage 3, and 11% at Stage 4, with a jump to 15% at Stage 5).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Special Item: Molotov Cocktail;

Can be found in special boxes by survivors and are single use items that permanently remove a section of the Verdant Domain. The size of the removed section is 10m in diameter. Can’t be used until the Verdant Domain hits Stage 3 of its growth. Burning a section of the forest comes at a price however. The act of injustice will provoke The Reclaimed into a fit of rage for 30 seconds. During these 30 seconds, the survivor who threw the Molotov and all other survivors who were in the forest at the time are exposed, and all the while The Reclaimed moves at 5.0 m/s (125% movement speed). At the end of this duration, The Reclaimed enters a fatigued state for 5 seconds (if not currently in an animation (i.e. carrying a survivor, that kind of thing)). There are only 3 of these special boxes total. Molotov Cocktails cannot be brought out of a trial.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Reclaimed’s Shareable Perks:

No Safe Haven:

After snuffing a boon totem, all survivors in the area of effect of the boon are Exposed for 40/50/60 seconds.

Silenced Industry:

When within 4 meters of a generator, survivors are deafened and have a haze messing with their vision (similarly to Clown’s Intoxication). This effect lingers for 4/5/6 seconds after leaving this range.

Decay:

While in your Terror Radius and not in chase, survivor’s items deplete passively at a rate of 1 charge every 4 seconds. Any status effects they are suffering from expire 5%/7%/9% slower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New General Perks:

Survivor Perks:

Teardown:

The first chest you open will contain a Fire Axe. Allows you to break a breakable wall in 7/6/5 seconds. Single use and cannot be brought out of the trial.

Surge Protector:

Allows you to place a device on generators that decreases the rate at which they regress by 50%. Can be destroyed by the killer with a basic attack. Lasts for 20/25/30 seconds if not interrupted. Can only be used once.

Improvisation:

Allows you to turn depleted flashlights into small explosives while hiding in a locker for 12 seconds. Can be dropped (similarly to a Flashbang) to stun the killer for 0.75/1.25/1.75 seconds.

Boon: Totem Guardian:

While this boon is active, no boons can be snuffed if one or more survivors are in the Dying state. When this effect triggers, the aura of this totem will be shown to the killer when within 24 meters from it. It cannot protect its own totem, however, and can be snuffed to remove this protection. Lasts for 9/11/13 seconds after this boon gets snuffed.

Come Back Swinging:

For every 20/16/12 seconds you spend in the Dying state, gain a stackable 1% increase to your generator repairing speed. Additionally, you bleed out 50% slower.

Skittish:

Every time your aura is read by the killer, gain a 6%/7%/8% Haste status effect for the duration of the aura reading.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Killer Perks:

Hex: Fatigue:

While Exhausted, survivors suffer from a 4%/5%/6% Hindered debuff.

Hex: Burnout:

After using an Exhaustion perk, survivors are unable to use the perk again (even when not Exhausted) until they heal another survivor for 50%/75%/100% of a health state. Can only activate once per survivor.

Whiplash:

After being stunned twice by a survivor, the next stun will also stun the survivor for 1/1.25/1.5 seconds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bleeding Tooth Mushroom:

Injured survivors give off Killer Instinct while within 20 meters of The Reclaimed while in the Verdant Domain.

Green Add-ons:

Smoldering Log:

Increases the duration of the Reclaimed’s fits of rage by 50 seconds. However, The Reclaimed instead moves at 4.4 m/s while enraged.

Poison Ivy:

Damaging a survivor in the Verdant Domain will inflict Mangled and Hemorrhage until that survivor is healed back to full health.

Splintered Branch:

Reduces the time it takes the Verdant Domain to progress through a stage of growth by 15 seconds.

Pitcher Enzymes:

The ambient spores are empowered, causing survivors in the Verdant Domain to cough 100% louder than normal. Additionally, survivors coughing due to the spores will have their auras revealed for 2 seconds within 5 meters of The Reclaimed.

Purple Add-ons:

Sundew  Glands:

Increases the strength of the Hindered that Vineweaver vines causes by 1% per Verdant Domain stage (5% at Stage 1 (as usual), 8% at Stage 2, 11% at Stage 3, 14% at Stage 4, and 20% at Stage 5).

Spanish Moss:

A naturally grown vine in the Verdant Domain can regrow after being walked through after 20 seconds. Can only trigger up to three times for a certain spot.

Mangrove Roots:

Vines from the Verdant Domain and from Vineweaver no longer Hinder survivors. Instead, they have solid collision and block survivors from moving through them. They can be removed by survivors via a 2.5-second animation that locks them in place and doesn’t save its progress if stopped prematurely. However, The Reclaimed’s base movement speed is reduced to 4.4 m/s, and his speed while enraged is 4.6 m/s (note that vines do not have solid collision for the Reclaimed).

Pustula Flower:

Walking through naturally occurring vines will give you a 5% Haste status effect for 3.5 seconds.

Iridescent Add-ons:

Corpse Blossom:

Survivors who stay in the Verdant Domain for too long will be injured if healthy and deeply wounded if injured. It takes 45 seconds of exposure to the Domain’s spores to damage a survivor. This timer slowly ticks back down over the course of 25 seconds upon exiting the Verdant Domain. However, this add-on prevents the passive vines of the Domain from spawning.

Iridescent Flytrap:

Spawns little venus flytraps in the Verdant Domain that grab survivors by the feet, Hindering them by 3% for 2 seconds. During this time, the survivor is also Exposed. Additionally, any time a generator is completed, the Verdant Domain instantly progresses to the next stage up.
