Dbd x Friday The 13th - My Concept and Predictions for The Future...

Disclaimer: This is simply based on some research I've done revolving around legal issues. Feel free to research for yourself.

New Killer: The Slasher (or The Revenant, whichever you think sounds cooler.)

Killer Power: Jason's Rage

Aquaphobia; Basically it's Chucky's Hidey Ho Mode crossed with Spirit's Phase. Water has begun to fill the trial, not at ankle level, but at bottom of the foot level. To counter this, Aquaphobia cannot be used at certain main buildings, hills, and other obstacles that are above water level, potentially defying physics. Jason is able to disintegrate into the water, transversing through it. In the process, he remains Undetectable, and this lasts as long as 30 seconds. When Survivors see a red terror radius stain in the water that means he's near. When the skill check is succeeded, or when Jason cancels Aquaphobia, or when his power runs out, he bursts from the water, rising up and materializing back into his physical form.

Pull Under; when an unsuspecting Survivor keeps his back turned for too long, Jason pulls them underneath the water, resulting in a grab/insta-down. (He'll still have to carry them to a hook.) To counter this, survivors are given a two difficult skill checks to avoid being pulled under.

Mother's Guidance; while not underwater, see the trail of torture and dispair leading to help point you to the direction. (Basically a compass. It doesn't really show exactly where they are, it just points the direction.)

The Slasher's Perks are:

Traumatic Encounter; when the killer approaches, survivors become paniced as they perform actions 5% slower, and their breathing is 25/50/75% louder.

Hex: Doppelganger; survivors that mistake this particular Hax Totem for its counterparts are forced to scream, revealing their Aura for 3/5/7 seconds. During that time, The Entity blocks the Totem after being touched and then switch places with any dull totem remaining, otherwise it will stay put.

Inhuman Strength; not to be confused with Brutal Strength; each time you hook a survivor, you gain a token up to 1/2/3 tokens . Using a Basic Attack on pallets and walls instantly breaks them, slowing you down for 3 seconds afterwards.

Insta-Mori:

Drown; survivors gullible enough to turn their backs on Jason while on death hook are drowned when pulled under.

Memento Mori:

First, a swift surgical removal of the arm (part 3 inspired kill) as they fall to the ground, followed by a finishing machete to the noggin. Probably the most Jason kill you can think of without it being too gorey.

Jason's Outfits:

Jason X's Pre Uber

(I'd prefer it NOT as a linked set, please, Bhvr…)

Uber Jason (Linked set, guaranteed.)

Part 9 Jason Goes To Hell

(Definitely would be a linked set, the mask is infused with his face.)

2009 Reboot Jason

(Not sure if this is possible, because it was a joint project by both Paramount and New Line Cinema. Regardless, I'd like to see this and NOT as a linked set, but instead as a two piece outfit.)

The rest of his cosmetics could be various sharp weapons he uses, but only from Part 9, Jason X, FvJ, and the Reboot, at least for now. Read below, it'll explain the legal stuff revolving around his possible addition to the game.

Adding Jason Voorhees to Dead By Daylight, and how it would work:

With the IP seemingly being all over the place, I've managed to find how Bhvr could add Jason... Here's how it supposedly works, feel free to correct me in the comments.

For starters, to use the name, "Camp Crystal Lake," Bhvr would need permission from Victor Miller since he owns the elements from the original film, but not adult Jason or the name "Friday The 13th." Or elements that have to do with the sequels, especially Tommy Jarvis.

To get the rights to adult Jason Voorhees, Tommy and other elements from the sequels, Bhvr would need to get permission from not only Horror Inc.'s Sean Cunningham, but the twist here is that New Line Cinema (part of Warner Bros.) owns the distribution rights, but only for parts 9, Jason X, Freddy vs. Jason, and the 2009 Reboot (jointed with Paramount).

Again, the 2009 reboot was a joint project between New Line Cinema and Paramount, they both worked on it. So getting content from the reboot may be a 40/60% chance of happening, they'd probably have to come to an agreement.

Paramount has the distribution rights to the rest of the films, including the original, So overall, if Bhvr wanted to commit to adding our dream chapter consisting of Part 3 Jason and Tommy Jarvis, along with Camp... "NOT Crystal Lake," Bhvr would more than likely have to pay Sean Cunningham, Warner Bros. AND Paramount all combined if they want these to come and stay in the game.

Knowing Bhvr, they might go for the cheaper route by making the deal with Horror Inc. and New Line Cinema, resulting in Friday The 13th becoming a paragraph for now, unless somehow that ain't the case and for the next Anniversary chapter they decide to make their own original Survivor and summer camp map deterring from the movies, but I don't see that happening.

Worst case scenario, they'll add Tommy later on as a set for Felix Richter.

Hope you enjoyed reading this, if I'm missing something in this little project I've conducted, feel free to correct me in the comments.

    So what you’re saying is that there’s a high probability Jason could be the solo licensed killer in march?

    Doing my own research, "probably", yes. But then again he could be saved for the next Anniversary chapter. Cause we all know Friday The 13th is just too iconic. If Bhvr was able to afford a big IP like ALIEN, then possibly they could afford to pay New Line Cinema and Paramount, along with Sean Cunningha≈... Okay, he's definitely a paragraph... I'm mostly just making predictions for what it would look or sound like, if he were to be the March Killer. We did see him join Multiverses earlier this year. Though the connections point to him likely being the March Killer, it could be Predator, for all we know. Or it could be another semi-horror chapter; could be BioShock or even Fallout, or some other property that could have an iconic villain who is threatening enough to be added to the game.

    Like Darth Vader...
