Chapter concept: Crimson Requiem

Map: Castle of Eternal Night

Within The Entity's realm, the Castle of Eternal Night stands as Lord Sanguinus' eerie domain. The castle is a sinister amalgamation of Gothic architecture and blood-stained corridors. A perpetual moon casts an ethereal glow, accentuating the atmosphere of dread that permeates the trials.

The Castle of Eternal Night features hidden passages, opulent chambers, and a sprawling courtyard where desperate chases ensue. The map's layout creates a sense of claustrophobia, with narrow hallways and tight corners that allow Lord Sanguinus to capitalize on his Bloodthirst power. Traps and secret rooms filled with dark artifacts offer strategic advantages for the cunning killer.

As survivors explore the Castle of Eternal Night, they discover forgotten diaries and journal entries, shedding light on Lord Sanguinus' insatiable thirst for power and the tragic fate that befell the village he once ruled.

With the arrival of Lord Sanguinus and the Crimson Requiem chapter, the survivors of Dead by Daylight find themselves stalked by an ancient vampire lord, thirsty for blood and vengeance. Will they be able to evade his deadly grasp, or will they succumb to the eternal night within the realm of The Entity?


Killer: Lord Sanguinus

Lore: Lord Sanguinus was once a nobleman of great influence and wealth, living in a secluded castle on the outskirts of a forgotten village. However, his insatiable thirst for power led him down a dark path. Desperate for eternal life, he delved into forbidden rituals and embraced vampirism, granting him immortality but at a great cost.

Consumed by his newfound bloodlust, Lord Sanguinus reveled in the terror he inflicted upon the villagers, turning them into his loyal servants. The reign of fear continued until one fateful night when a group of determined survivors, armed with knowledge of ancient rituals, confronted him. In a climactic battle, they managed to weaken him and banish him to the realm of The Entity.

Now, as Lord Sanguinus roams the trials, he seeks to sate his insatiable thirst and reclaim the power he once possessed.

Power: Bloodthirst

Lord Sanguinus wields a menacing Blood Thorn, a wickedly sharp weapon imbued with his vampiric essence. With each successful hit, he accumulates Bloodlust. When activated, Lord Sanguinus gains enhanced speed, vaulting, and pallet-breaking abilities, allowing him to relentlessly pursue survivors for a limited duration. Bloodthirst instills fear in survivors, making them more susceptible to terror and hindering their actions.

Perks:

  1. Veil of Shadows: Lord Sanguinus harnesses the darkness to shroud his presence. After hooking a survivor, their aura is hidden from all survivors' vision for 4/5/6 seconds. Additionally, Veil of Shadows causes the hook to emit a black mist, obscuring the killer's aura within an 8/12/16-meter radius.
  2. Vampiric Pursuit: Lord Sanguinus possesses unparalleled hunting instincts. Whenever a survivor performs a rushed action, such as a rushed vault or rushed healing, their aura is revealed to Lord Sanguinus for 4/5/6 seconds. Furthermore, their location is marked for all survivors to see, exposing them to potential danger.
  3. Eternity's Grasp: Lord Sanguinus' chilling grip on survivors cripples their hope. When carrying a survivor, the bleed-out timer progresses 10/15/20% faster. Additionally, after hooking a survivor, their recovery progress is paused for 4/6/8 seconds.

Survivor: Amelia Cross

Lore: Amelia Cross was a skilled violinist and composer who gained recognition for her hauntingly beautiful music. Her compositions carried an ethereal quality that captivated audiences worldwide. However, Amelia had a secret—an ancestral connection to a long-forgotten vampire bloodline. The melodies she played resonated with an ancient power, drawing the attention of The Entity.

One fateful night, as Amelia finished a mesmerizing performance, The Entity manifested before her, offering a pact. Fascinated by her unique lineage and musical prowess, it whisked her away to the realm of the trials. Now trapped within the Dead by Daylight, Amelia uses her music and her vampiric heritage to navigate the horrors that await her.

Perks:

  1. Melody of the Damned: Amelia's connection to her vampire bloodline empowers her music, providing auras of protection. When Amelia starts repairing a generator, all survivors within a 16/24/32-meter range gain a 6/8/10% increase in repair speed. Additionally, Melody of the Damned grants a 10/15/20% reduction in the killer's aura-reading abilities while Amelia is working on a generator.
  2. Evasive Cadence: Amelia's supernatural grace enables her to evade detection. After being chased by the killer for 60/50/40 seconds, her scratch marks and blood trails are reduced by 50%. Furthermore, her vaulting and window fast vault actions are 5/10/15% faster after the chase ends.
  3. Vampiric Resilience: Amelia's vampiric heritage grants her enhanced survival instincts. When she takes a hit that would put her into the Dying State, she has a 10/15/20% chance to automatically enter the Healthy State instead. This effect can occur once every 90/75/60 seconds.

Don't be harsh on me but what do you think?
