    On killer it was trapper (still is to this day over 8 years later)

    He was first killer on the list, I'd walked into so many bear traps as a new survivor I figured I knew where to put them (certainly do now!) & he just appealed more than the others (oni is my actual favourite but forever main trapper)

    On survivor its meg (still my main) mostly because I prefer female characters in most games & she's the only one I would date in real life at the time at least (honesty for you) she's my only p100 character I spread blood points on everyone else pretty evenly.

    Wraith and then Doctor.

    Newest Killer was Clown, so there wasnt a ton to choose from lol

    I started mostly with huntress. I also started back right around legion release for context. Of the 4 free killers at the time, nurse and billy were too hard to play at the start, and wraith was really bad which caused me to stick with huntress for a while. Since then i moved onto nurse though.

    Me it was Trapper because he was simple and helped learn how to play the game. Then I mained Ghostface because I loved to chase and stalk players. Then i picked up the Unknown and he became my main ever sense

    Pig. Loved the stealth and the slowdown from the RBTs. Sadly she got left behind as meta knowledge spread and now it seems like everyone and their mother can make her feel powerless :/

    My first two were wraith and hag. Wraith I now find to be completely boring and slow compared to other stealth killers. I still have hag in my top 3 though dredge is closing in. My true main is Dracula and honestly unless they added wolfman I don't see that changing. He is just perfectly adapted and super fun.

    I started with Ghostface, because Scream was my first slasher franchise. He also was pretty simple and I liked concept of stealth killers before. He is the only character that has multiple cosmetics I bought for him

    I started playing from release, so there wasn't a lot of choice there - my first killer was Wraith, I also still play Wraith quite a bit mixed with Legion and Spirit. I enjoy playing killers with relatively simple uncomplicated powers.

    Killer Pig was my first. I liked the sneaking around aspect. Still play her a bunch but more so Onryo now.

    Survivor is Rebecca. Still is.

    Wraith at release and then I pivoted to Nurse when she came out. The game gradually changed around her to the point where I no longer found her fun or fair to play so I hopped between several different Killers with no real main until Onryo came out.

    Plague. She was unique at the time (five years ago), and I enjoyed how different I had to play her, and those against her.

    Unfortunately, as the servers started to lose stability, I started losing my drive to play her, as her power was dependent on connection.

    I played billy at release then fast forward to today I play Unknown/Dredge and Dracula (I love castlevania), Unknown I really love how they play I feel I'm always learning new shots as them.

    My first main was nurse for about 900 hours, solely because the person that got me into the game told me she was the hardest to learn. I moved on to huntress after the p100 and been with Anna ever since, nothing is more satisfying than a cross map snipe with no aura.

    are we talking like first first or just like first dedicated main

    The first killer I played was Huntress, while my first "main" so to say was Spirit.
    I started playing on the patch where Spirit was released.

    As for survivor, my first main was Feng. Although Sable became my main later down the line, I went back to Feng and got her to P100 a couple weeks back, to come full circle with my first survivor.

    My first proper main would be wraith, the stealth was just really nice. I kind of just hopped between things until Wesker's release and it was love at first sight. I love Wesker and play him all the time.

    Trickster because All-Kill is what got in me interested into the game. Didn't main for him too long though because i had a lack of success with him compared to other killers.

    I was the stereotypical Blendette hiding in a bush :)

    On killer, I started with Wraith and he’s still one of my main killers. A very simple power but I enjoy learning how to get better with him against good survivors who know how to loop and counter him.

    Literally same main and reason as you, i started playing shortly before the plague release iirc and that was also shortly before his failed 2.7.0 nuke
