Killer Emotes
I would love to see some more personality shine through the killers in this game besides passive abilities and weapon cleaning. So I made some potential emotes the killers can do that will give them personality without breaking immersion.
Some emotes require the killer to stand still while others are passive that have little effect and can be used while moving.
- The Trapper
The Trapper kneels down, obtaining a tool from behind him, and fiddles with a bear trap for a few moments, as though fixing a gear or spring. If empty handed, the Trapper will gently caress his blade, as though infatuated by it.
- The Wraith
The Wraith will wildly ring his cursed bell. It is only heard in a certain radius, and not map wide, like his power.
- The Hillbilly
The Hillbilly will drag his chainsaw in the dirt or ground in front of him, causing dirt/sparks to fly up. After cutting a crescent into the ground, he lets out a yell, raising the chainsaw above his head.
- The Nurse
The Nurse can activate an emote which causes her head to shake rapidly while her body remains rigid, like you would see in some horror movies. Lasts until the Nurse makes an action.
- The Hag
The Hag will use its weapon hand and start to suck blood off each finger, like a fat kid finishing Cheeto powder from his finger tips. She will suck on each one, then drag her tongue along the back of her hand, to and fro, one time.
- The Shape
Myers was tricky for me. I couldn't really figure out what I wanted him to do that would be significant enough for an emote but doesn't break his character. Make a suggestion below.
- The Nightmare
Freddy, when his emote is activated, will place his weapon hand out to a nearby wall to his right and drag the bladed fingers across its surface. Is constantly active unless deactivated, and will occur when he is by a surface that can allow this. He can attack while this is active and it will not slow him down.
- The Pig
Amanda Young will take a sanitized rag and clean her weapon a moment when emoting while standing up. While crouched, she will hold out a reverse bear trap and inspect the inside of it, reaching in and adjusting a gear before putting it back in its place. If out of bear traps, she can't use this emote.
- The Plague
While emoting as the Plague, she will speak some blessing or litany while she waves her censor about, letting the fumes drift around her, sanctifying.
- The Legion
The Legion will use the knife to make a cutting motion across his neck (idk, edgy teen and whatnot).
- The Doctor
The Doctor will hold his weapon out and raise his hand to it, letting the metal conduct the electricity from his fingertips. Active until the Doctor does an action.
- The Clown
The Clown, in his emote, becomes the entire circus The Clown will obtain a separate bottle from behind him, the bottle being full of alcohol. The Clown will drink from the bottle, chugging a few moments, before coughing and letting the bottle drop harmlessly to the ground.
- The Spirit
The body of the Spirit will squeeze together painfully instead of floating where phantom limbs would be. She would be scrunched up and bellow in pain, before her spectral body relaxes and she pants, returning to her usual form.
- The Demogorgon
It roars, idk.
- The Oni
The Oni will bellow loudly, as blood begins to seep from the cracks and cervices of his armor, floating upward toward the Entity, before snapping back into his body.
- The Ghostface
The Ghostface will take out a camera and hold it out while stalking, looking through its lens. While not stalking, the Ghostface will whip out a phone and have it dialing and calling the survivor he's in a chase with, causing a ringing in the survivor's pocket. Silly.

Myers could turn around, take off his mask, and look at the ground while holding his bloody knife in the other hand.

I think a cool subtle one for Mikey could just be him tilting his head very slowly and make breathing patterns that are different from his typical one. Like this one:
It'd be funny if an "AFK" Michael surprised survivors that got too close to him.
Nice ideas, btw! I love learning more about killers, and these little details tell us about their habits and personalities.
