Killer Idea - The Siren

Sounds fun. Just no Dagger for a weapon. Something larger like a trident would be sick!

On a personal note growing up on the water I always loved Siren stories.

Something that allows her to chase survivors on solid ground.

Although, a water map would be killer.

*Edit: A half-sunken pirate ship!

Hey I can draw a rough sketch of her if you’d like but quick question does she have a mermaid tail or is she just like one of javey Jones crew from pirates of the Caribbean where she has like coral and star fish merged to her?

in a rough idea, she would be a glowing wisp that drags tattered robes with grown-over by barnacles and sea life.

Sigh, the new "your comment will appear after it's approved" is such a pain, still waiting for a mod to "approve" my suggestions...

Killer info

• name: Irena Ludos
• gender: Female
• ethnicity: European
• realm:
• power: Siren's Song
• weapon: Coral Blade
• speed: 110%
• terror radius: 32 M
• heart beat range: 8/12 M

Killer ability: Siren's Song
- effect: Survivors in your terror radius hear your song, begin to slowly lose their will to resist. Applies "Hypnosis" on survivors that slowly reduces action speed (healing, repairs, sabotage, and vaulting), and movement speed. Hypnosis is gained so long as you remain in the song's reach, it is gained like "Madness", after 45 seconds within the radius you gain Hypnosis 1. Hypnosis 1 reduces movement speed by 15%, and action speed by 25%. After another 45 seconds, you enter Hypnosis 2, which reduces survivors movement speed by another 15%, and action speed by 25%. Singing stops while in the chase, however the survivor being chased can still hear it, and take up the effects. You can "snap out of hypnosis" by yourself while under the effect of Hypnosis 2, however to escape Hypnosis 1 a survivor who isn't affected must make a "snap out of it" on you, if everyone is under hypnosis 1, nobody can leave this state.

Personal Perks

• Call-Out:
• Survivors within your terror radius have a 25/50/75% chance to reveal themselves on a good skill check

-Trickster:
- Kicking a generator regresses it by 5/10/15%, and on the failed, or good skill checks generator regresses by 10/20/30%, great skill checks do nothing. Kicking pallets weakens them instead of destroying them, survivors who vault the weakened pallets breaks them, and takes one state of damage.

-Hex: Glimmer
- Gain an obsession, obsessions are visible 24/36/48 meters away from the killer, however the obsession can also see the killer within 12/24/36 meters. Killing your obsession grants permanent haste, destroying the totem removes this effect.

Origin:
"The mythical siren is a tale as old as sailing, beautiful women in the waves calling for the crew to join them. All men who obliged met the truth in a watery grave. She may not be a true siren, or what we're told in history class is completely wrong. No matter what, don't listen to her singing if you want to live, she wants you to come to her, as does the fog."

"Irena was the wife of a Greek noble who's name has been lost to time, she was young, and naïve for marrying a man who cared little for her. Over the years of her marriage she became desperate to bear a child with her neglectful husband who spent his time away on trade, and other excursions. She pleaded to him for it, year after year until she was starting to grey, and waning on fertility. With one more chance she begged for her husband to consummate, but denied one again she took to the temple, and begged. The next night a man came to her in the dark, and offered her a gift. Eat his heart, and bear his child.
"The offer was absurd, but her desperation reached its limit, and how could her dream ever be dashed now? She accepted as she was handed a silvered dagger, and told to strike. In a blinding rush she struck him down, and began carving out his heart, determined to get what she wanted, and failed to get for so long to get. The warmth of the beating heart glowed in her palm as she stared in it with worry, and doubt however the temptation grew too much as she began to consume it. The man's body vanished into a swarm of ravens as she finished consuming the heart, a smile on her face she ran back to her home to clean off the blood she had tracked.
"Months later she bore a daughter, and her hunger grew soon after. A month after her daughter's birth, she consumed another heart, she was blessed. Consumption of a life gave back in a child, a curse? No a gift, the shadowy man gave her a gift, and she needed to consume. Years went by, several children were born, several men died. However, the hunger couldn't be satisfied, and in a moment of desperation she struck her husband down. Before she could finish consuming his heart, one of the servants walked in, and started screaming in terror. Within moments the guards had entered, quickly grabbing, and restraining her. Dragging her out of the palace, and towards the docks, she cried, and screamed for her children but the roar of the ocean deafened her cries. The crimson soaked blade was torn from her hands, and shoved into her chest, and then thrown into the waves.
"This was not the end, her dark hunger had grown to strong for death to take her, and then something strange dragged her from the murky depths. A shadow, whispering for her to use her voice to lure humans to her dinner table. She sang, and drew all the men of the water to her, with one thing on her mind, their hearts. Years went by as crews disappeared throughout the sea, eventually something new called back to her song, and offered a new sea to hunt. She smiled, and swam to this new sea, standing on a new land shrouded in a blackened fog."

I would be interested in everyone who got this far's critique of this killer concept. I've put a fair amount in time, talking around with a variety of my friends who main either killer or survivor. I've gotten some response there than she could be over powered, but also that she could fix the problems this game has. I dont know, I want to hear what the community thinks. Thanks for reading.

Updates:
-6/29/2018: added addon roughout, still need to finish. renamed weapon.
