Background 

Carrietta N. White lived her entire life in a constant state of misery. Being an outcast everywhere she went, she was ridiculed and bullied by her peers from school and was abused horrible by her religious fanatic mother. Little did Carrie know, a special and dangerous power was building up inside her. She tried her best to learn and control it, but the stress of her very existence made it harder and harder. One night, things began to look up for Carrie, being able to go to her prom with a popular boy and was crowned prom queen. That is until it was quickly revealed to be a horrible prank as Carrie was doused in pig’s blood. Something in Carrie snapped, her timid and scared nature melted away into a being of pure rage and resentment. With her powers, she attacked everyone at the prom, killing everyone who had wronged her. She returned home, hoping for comfort from her mother, but was met with a knife instead. Carrie’s power protected her, killing her mother and bringing the house down on them both. Everything was dark… but only for a moment. When Carrie opened her eyes, she found herself in a dark forest. She was in her blood-soaked prom dress again. Besides her were the very blades she used to kill her mother. In the distance, she spotted a campfire near her. She can see people, the faces of her tormentors. Something came over Carrie, the same feeling when she attacked everyone at prom. The knives began to float off the ground. She was tired of being the victim. She was tired of everyone hurting her. No more. They called her a freak. Sinful. A witch. Carrie will become just that. 


Weapon: Telekinetic Blades. 

The Prom Queen uses her telekinetic powers to control a set of blades, This includes a small paring knife, a kitchen shears, a butcher’s knife and a serrated knife. The Prom Queen uses her psychic powers to fling the blades into survivors to hurt them. Pulls blood off her weapons with her powers. 


Power: Psychic Rage 

The Prom Queen is filled with rage and a desire for revenge. The Prom Queen stays near survivors, building up Resentment toward her enemies. When enough resentment is gathered, she can unleashes her Rage. 


Special Ability: Absorb Resentment: Press and hold the Power button to absorb Resentment Orbs in the environment and fill your Power gauge.

When your Power gauge is full, press and hold the Active Ability button to initiate Telekinetic Rage.


The Prom Queen will start a trial with a full gauge.


Resentment Orbs are spawns from survivors working on tasks (repairing generators, cleansing/blessing, healing, sabotaging, etc)


Special Attack: Telekinetic Rage: The Prom Queen can unleash her psychic powers, using the survivor’s surroundings against them. During so, her red stain disappears and her terror radius cuts in half. Telekinetic Rage lasts 60 seconds before meter is depleted and needing to recharge. Props within 24 meters of the Prom Queen that can be affected by Telekinetic Rage will be highlighted White. 


Generators: The Prom Queen can electrify generators, causing them to shock and injure survivors working on them. 

Hooks: The Prom Queen can rip a hook down from its stand, slashing nearby survivors with it and injuring them. This does break the hook for a short time. Can not use hook as a weapon when already broken or being used. Hook attacks have a radius of 10 meters. 

Pallets: The Prom Queen pull down standing pallets on to survivors to hurt them. Can accidentally stun self if not careful. 

Vaults: Windows and other vaults, can be set on fire by The Prom Queen, injuring survivors who come in contact with it. Fires lasts 30 seconds before dying out. Fires will destroy pulled down pallets. 

Breakable walls: The Prom Queen can break breakable walls instantly, sending pieces of shrapnel forward to injure survivors. Radius of 15 meters in a linear line 

Totems: The Prom Queen can cause the candles on the totems to burst with fire, burning Survivors who are working on them.

Chests: Survivors searching through chests can have the lids slam to harm survivors and instantly end the searches. 


Perks: They’re All Going To Laugh At You, Prayer Locker, and Hex: Bully


They’re All Going To Laugh At You: Humiliate them as they would humiliate you. Hitting a survivor while holding another survivor, will reveal the aura of that survivor to everyone for 8/12/16 seconds and place the Broken and Incapacitated status on the survivor for 100 seconds. Has a 50 second cooldown.


“He's gonna laugh at you. They're all gonna laugh at you!” -Margaret White 



Prayer Locker: Trap your prey and make them suffer for their sins. When a survivor rushes into a locker outside of the killer’s terror radius, The Entity will appear and lock them inside the locker for 10/11/12 seconds. The survivor will not be able to escape on their own until either the countdown ends, another survivor opens the locker for them, or the killer opens it. The locker’s aura will be revealed to everyone for 5 seconds. 


“You must renounce this power. You must give it up. You must never use it.” -Margaret White 



Hex: Bully: You spent your life being the victim. Now the tables have turned. You become obsessed with one survivor. Your obsession failures hurts their allies. Every time your obsession fails a skill check, you receive a token. Tokens are used when chasing your obsession. 


1 Token: All survivors, except your obsession, will be inflicted with the Hindered Status. 


3 Tokens: All survivors, except your obsession, will be inflicted with the Incapacitated status. 


5 Tokens: All survivors, except the obsession, will be inflicted with the Exposed Status. 


All effects will last 20/30/40 seconds. The Tokens reset when the obsession is on the hook. If the obsession is sacrificed or killed, the perk will end and the hex totem will burn out.


“She is such a freak.” -Chris Hargensen 



Mori Killing: The Prom Queen uses her telekinesis to flip survivor on to their back, before launching a blade into both of their hands. The survivors screams as The Prom Queen lifts them up into the air, posing them in a crucifix pose before finally The Prom Queen launching the rest of her blades into the survivor’s chest, killing them.


alright that’s it for this idea! Please tell me what you think of Carrie’s/Prom Queen’s power and perks? Worked hard on them! Took a bit to figure out!

    Very well made and well thought of. I don't mind the orb thing as her ability is strong and fair as you need to collect it. But i don't think that should be the only thing about her as the collection of orbs is very similar to oni. Maybe she could have a small secondary ability, as her whole unique power is something which could only be activated a few times a game its good to have something to assist you in getting it more quickly. Not regarding addons or perks...

    That’s a good point. Though I’m admittedly drawing a blank on what the secondary power would be

    I could think of something ive been meaning to watch carrie again.

    I love "The Prom Queen"! Dbd seems to like keeping the name of Killers one word so they'd unfortunately probably just name her "The Telekinetic"

    I think it'd be cool if she was released as a chapter with Chris Hargensen as the survivor, it'd be an interesting formula change for the more sympathetic character to be the killer and the evil one be the survivor

    well there are sympathetic killers already in the game, Sadako gets flipping chucked into a well because people feared her and Rin gets chopped up by her father. These characters are built with hate and revenge, Carrie is an interesting difference she just snaps. Yes she has anger but the torment she went through caused it to fill up inside of her, in the end she is a scared child who had no real love and affection.

    It would be interesting for an evil survivor but I dont think they would do Chris Hargensen as he is a bit young. Carrie can be added as she wont be brutally murdered.

    Behaviour could explore Carrie's story further, as Stephen never wrote a sequel to Carrie and I doubt behaviour would follow the awful movie sequel. If us as a community get Behaviours attention we could persuade them in trying to pursue the ip, in might take 2 or three years as they have a roadmap it may take even less as Mathew has a strong love for the Stephen King universe and really wants to add something from his glorious mind into the fog. But im willing indefinitely to wait for this amazing well written character.

    For They're All Going To Laugh At You, 100 seconds is an absurdly long time to inflict someone with incapacitated. Anyone hit with that will be basically unable to play the game for over a minute.
