Killer Concept: The Tomb

In 1948, a Chineseman had bought a tropical home in a remote town in a Malaysian island. He had obtained riches far past whatever he could possibly imagine. He initially had evil thoughts about his money, but that all left him quickly. He wanted to adventure with everything he had gained.

      He loved the idea of prospecting and climbing. Leaving his "Summer Home" in Malaysia, he explored the world for the perfect places to live out his dream. Eventually he decided he would search for gold on the Himalayan mountains.

      In his travels, he met a Chinese woman who, after 3 months, agreed to marry him. Their wedding was, by his own admission, the most important part of his life. 

      5 years of preparation and conditioning started his, or rather, their adventure. Starting with the mountain of Kanchenjunga, they worked their way up over the course of months. They had found little. 

       Finally, he thought to himself, Mount Everest. He had begun to make his first and final move up the mountain. Proud of their accomplishments, he was the first to step foot. His wife, however, was not happy about their lack of findings. She, however, still had a sliver of hope in her husband, and trailed him soon after.

       8 days have passed away since that time. What they found was nothing.

       Nothing. There was absolutely nothing. Not a nugget in sight. Not a thing in any cave. Nothing anywhere.

                     Absolutely. Nothing.

      All that woman could think of were the words "absolutely nothing." What a waste, she thinks.

      Frustrated, the man's wife threw a dangerous fit. She accused him of tricking her and having a lack of love. She was backing him towards a massive crevasse. It was sure to be an icy coffin if he didn't reveal his gift. A gold nugget. 

      But, before he could reach into his pocket, in a move of blind fury, she pushed him off to his tomb eternal.

      She had faced no charges, on the basis of lack of evidence or witness. It was excused to be an accident. She moved to their original summer home and had laid quiet for a year.

      At the end of that year, she was found dead, with 13 large puncture wounds and later autopsies suggested hypothermia.

       Appearance:

      Basic attributes:

Terror Radius: 40 Metres

Height: Tall

Speed: 4.6 m/s (115% survivor speed)

       The Tomb is a frozen killer, able to delay survivor progress with its power Zero Sum Coffin by freezing generators and hooked survivors. Survivors can be inflicted with Snap Freeze, and develop Frostbite later on, stopping what they're doing entirely and becoming easy prey.

       The Tomb's Personal Perks Chilling Grasp, Terrifying Gaze and Hex: Hypothermia allow it to create tombs for survivors.

       The Tomb's perks focus on finding survivors and preventing them from escaping your grasp once you catch them.

Difficulty rating: Intermediate

(based on the amount of time and effort that is required to properly learn to play It and use Its Power effectively)

       Weapon - Cold Pickaxe: A pickaxe used for ice climbing. Its temperature is said to be nearly absolute zero, sticking to and tearing its victim's skin.

       Power - Zero Sum Coffin:

       Whatever heart it may have had is gone, replaced by a cold, twisted pit of emptiness. 

       A blizzard rages inside your terror radius, increasing The Fog for survivors as they get closer to The Tomb and slightly obscuring your red stain.

       When near a generator or hooked survivor, press the Power button to freeze up to 2 generators or hooked survivors at no cost to speed.

        When a generator is frozen:

• That generator cannot be interacted with for 15 seconds.
• During that time, ice will grow in a circular 40 meter diameter circle around it.

        When a hooked survivor is frozen:

• Their sacrifice timer is stopped for 30 seconds.
• Survivors cannot interact with the hooked survivor for 30 seconds.
• All survivors are notified that the hooked survivor has been frozen.
• During that time, ice will grow in a circular 40 meter diameter circle around it.

      Iced over areas will slowly disappear after 3 minutes of being fully created, or when a new Generator or Hooked Survivor being Frozen returning 1 charge of Zero Sum Coffin.

      Healthy and injured Survivors inside an iced over area will slowly accumulate Snap Freeze over 30 seconds. The Tomb may also apply Snap Freeze to healthy survivors at any time using its basic attack. Survivors are also forced to slow vault pallets and windows within the vicinity of iced over areas.

       Survivors with Snap Freeze will gain Frostbite over 30 seconds.

       Survivors with Frostbite:

• Become injured.
• Stop any action they're doing and stop in place entirely for 10 seconds.
• Can enter a channeling action to remove Frostbite at 15% chance of success.

Survivors without Snap Freeze can enter a channeling action on survivors with Frostbite to break them free at 80% chance of success.

Perks:

Chilling Grasp - Your grasp is ice cold. Survivors that get off your shoulders by any means have 14%/20%/25% reduced movement speed for 2 seconds.

Terrifying Gaze - Your presence brings fear to those who observe you. Activates when you look in the direction of a survivor inside your terror radius/x1.1/x1.2.

Survivors who look at you while active will, over the course of 4/3/2 seconds start to hear your heartbeat in increasing intensity until they scream at the end of that time. The timer is reset when the survivor looks away for 5 seconds.

Hex: Hypothermia - 

The Entity allows you to inflict severe cold against survivors; enough to freeze the very moisture on their skin.

Survivors must pass one moderately/considerably/tremendously difficult skill check when performing the healing action on another dying survivor that will complete 30%/40%/45% of their healing bar. If they fail, the bar will be completely reset and the healing survivor must attempt that skill check again.

Survivors heal Dying Survivors 50%/60%/75% slower.

Survivors put into the dying state take 30%/45%/50% longer to bleed out.
