Killer idea: Crow King

This is my concept of what Crow King (or just Crows) should be made in this game. Please give me your oppinion about this!

>Crow King is a monstrous killer, able to manipulate crows to attack survivors and control different objects on the map. His perks "Scavangers", "Rapt attention" and "Feast for the crows" allow him to contact his master and finish his preys with incredible skill.

>His presence makes the crows terrifyingly aggresive. He starts the trial with 1 Crows flock flying around him. Using Primary Power button he can command crows to fly around either a survivor or an object survivors can interact with (hooks are an exception). Crows flying around an object will immediately attack any Survivor coming close (2 m. range) and will start slowly damaging them. When crows start attacking a Survivor they will damage them for 1 health state every 60 seconds. This effect goes on even if the Survivor is in the chase. Another survivor can perform a 10 second-long action to make crows leave the Survivor. They will continue flying around the area where the action was perform for 10 seconds and can attack any Survivor nearby once againg before disappearing. When Crows flock disappear, they return to the killer. Crows flying around a generator slowly reduce repair progress by 1% per 4 seconds. Using Secondary Power button near a crow flock will make this crow flock to fly around him.


>Scavangers - Crows will always find way to their victim. When a Survivor is put in a dying state crows start flying around him 50%/75%/100% faster if he is not moving. At level 3 crows start flying around a dying Survivor even if he`s moving.


>Rapt attention - You become obsessed with one Survivor. As soon as you start chasing your obsession this perk activates. Once per match, starting a chase, longer then 10 seconds with your obsession as a target you get the following advantages: Every 60/35/10 seconds of the chase you get extra 5% movement speed bonus (no limit) and your attacks deal double damage. (Note: If you break this chase in any way this perk goes off and you won`t get its effect any more. When that special chase starts (you chase your obsession longer than 10 seconds) the perk icon becomes highlighted).

>Feast for the crows - Connection with the Entity allows you not to use hooks anymore. Instead of that you can perform a 10 seconds long action to start sacrificing a survivor. Survivor`s aura will be highlited as if the survivor was still in the dying stage (Note: That means, you can hide survivor`s aura with perks like Hex:Third seal or Knock Out). This sacrifice will take 2 minutes/1 minutes/0 minutes longer than the usuall sarcrifice.

Mori: Killer tries to tear survivo`s head off but fails and breaks his neck in process. After that he throws survivor`s body down on the ground and leaves it, while crows start to consuming it.

    I love the idea of utilizing the crows! I've always thought there should be something done with them. Rapt Attention has the potential to be brutal, but it's difficult to reach that potential it seems and I enjoy that, a good balance. How exactly does the Feast sacrifice work? Once it begins, are you stationary until the survivor is fully sacrificed, or are they left on the ground or something? And is there potential for the sacrifice to be broken still, since it's not using hooks? A little clarification here and I think we're all set! Also, is any of the artwork an original depiction of the killer or are they just some relevant images to give a general idea of what he could look like?

    How exactly does the Feast sacrifice work? - it works just like an ordinary hook sacrifice, but you don`t need to transfer survivor to the hook. I think this could be a bit broken, if killer succeeds to start sacrificing survivor in some hidden spot with Knock Out so other wouldn`t find him, but i think this is okay.

    Once it begins, are you stationary until the survivor is fully sacrificed, or are they left on the ground or something? - you have to stay still for 10 seconds while starting the sacrifice, after that you can leave survivor on the ground, as the ritual begins.

    is any of the artwork an original depiction of the killer or are they just some relevant images to give a general idea of what he could look like? - I took all these images from the internet, so it`s not an original artwork.

    Got it, got it, and got it! Thank you! Great idea, anyways! A suggestion for the appearance, I think a bit of a tribal look would be neat for this killer. A big bird skull as a mask, maybe a hooded cloak made of black feathers and some big clawed hands/gloves, the feet could be clawed too, or maybe they're just boots. I don't know, there's a lot of potential all around.
