Until Dawn Chapter Suggestion

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before we begin I'd like to make it very clear that I understand that Behaviour will need Supermassive Games' permission to do this. This WHOLE thing is a suggestion. I'd really like to see it get put into action.

PLEASE NOTE: I have decided to use Chris in place of Mike for a few reasons; Mike doesn’t know how to battle Wendigos, Mike is missing two fingers and would realistically be worse at Gen repair, simply put I like Chris better, Chris has actual personality whilst I feel Mike is more of an angry horn-dog. 

PLEASE NOTE: I am by no means a professional at this so I welcome your CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in order to help balance it out. I'll be giving my opinion of why I did blank by putting them in parenthesis.

Hannah Washington: Wendigo

Terror Radius: Heat Vision - 12m/s, Normal - 32m/s (I figure the average terror radius is 32m/s and as such I think that 32m/s is acceptable. For Heat Vision, since I consider it the killer’s “normal eye sight” the killer should have the “normal” stealth capabilities. Normal is 0 but I feel that would be unfair)

Speed: Walking - 4.6m/s, Heat Vision Activated - 6.02m/s, Lunge - 6.9m/s, carrying - 3.68m/s (Similarly to the “normal” capabilities I figure that as a speedy character she should have the high end walking speed of 4.6, and since Heat Vision is her “normal sight” she should have a “normal pacing” and so 6.02 makes sense to me. The rest is game default.)

Ability: Heat vision - The longer she stands still the further the radius extends up to a maximum of 120 meters, without addons it will take 12 seconds to reach the max size. Switching on and off Heat Vision has a 1.5 second thing, meaning for 1.5 seconds there’ll be an effect similar to that of being blinded but it fades away in well 1.5 seconds without addons. Survivors that are obscured by trees, jungle gyms, generators, walls or rocks do not appear in heat vision. When a survivor moves within eye shot for 4 continuous seconds, they gain the Blindness effect for 3 seconds for every 5 meters that they are away from you which begins to cool down after they break line of sight. You must repeat this action for the effect to begin counting up again. It should also be noted that since we as the palyers can distinguish non-moving survivors from moving survivors, the survivors shouldn't appear at all unless they are moving whilst in heat vision. Generators being repaired will have the moving effect as well as survivors when they're jerking around on a generator or moving period. (I couldn't think of a good way to make this...good, so I tried to make this a distance thing. If a survivor is observed 15 meters away they become Blinded for 9 seconds, if they become obscured, lockers included, it starts counting down from 9. If it goes down to say 1.3 seconds and you observe them again from 10 meters away, it will jump back up to 6 seconds. Please also note that 12 seconds is the maximum it takes to reach 120 meters, or 10 meters per second)

Perks:

Strength of the Wendigo - After bloodlust activates, hitting a survivor will reset it at tier 1 and breaking a pallet will set it down a tier. Tier 3 activates 5/6/7 seconds earlier. However, losing a survivor will instantly set it back to 0 and bloodlust must be activated normally again, activating after 15 seconds. (I thought having a perk that changes the way bloodlust works would be interesting, there's an exchange where instead of having bloodlust decrease for losing a survivor you simply lose lose the survivor.) "The eyes turn first and become milky and white." - On Cannibalism

Mountain Walker - You gain the haste status effect when a generator within 20 meters of you is above 75/65/60% for 15 seconds. This perk has a 15 second cooldown after activating. (No particular reason, just thought it might be an interesting concept) "Well this mountain don't belong to me, it's true. But it don't belong to the Washingtons. This mountain belongs to the Wendigo." - Jack Fiddler

Dig Deep - Survivors suffer from the hemorrhage effect after being hit until they complete a generator, unhook another survivor, use a Styptic Agent or an Anti-Haemorrhagic Substance. Alternatively they can just suffer Hemorrhage for 60/90/120 seconds. (I was thinking that it might be interesting to have something that almost kicks the survivors while they’re down. I also thought it might be interesting to have Hemorrhage stick around for a long time, having the equivalent to Deep Wound in a less “heal or go down” style.) "Ha! First, the Wendigo, he'll render you immobile. And then he strips the skin off of your entire body, piece by piece. And then he keeps you alive and aware and feasts on your organs, one piece at a time." - Jack Fiddler

Perks:

Careful and Cautious - While outside of a chase you make 50/60/75% less noise and your red trail becomes harder to track with the trail widening by 2/3.5/5%. (Unlike lightweight the red trail doesn’t disappear any sooner than normal but rather becomes slightly harder to track by widening it, thus covering more trees, rocks, etc.) "Hello? Guys? What are you doing out there?"

Get a Move On - You pull down pallets 5/10/15% faster and gain a haste effect for 2/3/4 seconds after doing so, increasing your move speed by 2/2.5/3%. (My thoughts on this were that it would be nice to have a miniature version of Devour Hope’s 2 Token effect, a small and short speed burst when pulling down pallets, I figure it’s not too strong because it doesn’t last long and there’s a chance you run full speed right into the killer while zoomin’ around a corner and it stops being effective when there aren’t anymore pallets to pull down. I don’t think Any Means Necessary will really improve this perk much.) "Are you kidding me?"

Stay Sharp - When you work on a generator while Exposed you will be given a (one) very hard skill check, successfully pulling this off will instantly progress the generator by 5/10/12%. Failing to pull it off will stop progress on the gen by 3/2/1 seconds but no explosion will occur. (I feel like it’s an interesting opportunity for Survivors to earn a quick boost. I figure there are two options for survivors and that is to keep working or skeddadle depending on the Exposure. The ones that will be easily countered are Devour Hope Token 2 and Haunted Ground. Exposures that survivors will probably die if they try to attempt to get this in real quick like would be; Redhead’s Pinky Finger, Make Your Choice, Iron Maiden, Evil Within III possibly, and Night Shroud for Sure. The ones that are unaffected by this perk would be Rancor and NOED) "I've seen what's down there... and I'd give anything to unsee it."

Perks:

Mental Breakdown - When a survivor is sacrificed to the entity gain a token, the previous token’s effects are then replaced with the new effects:

1 Token - You are able to heal other survivors 15/25/35% faster while in the killer’s terror radius but have the broken status effect until you leave the terror radius

2 Tokens - Generator Skill Checks are smaller but have a larger great check.

3 Tokens - When the hatch is closed and you are injured you can spend 5/4/3 seconds to open it again.

(Before you kill me over Token 3 give me a sec to explain Token 1. After a survivor is sacrificed you are able to heal one of the other two while in the killer’s terror radius doing so will make you broken. If the killer moves you into the terror radius by moving while you are healing (whilst previously outside the terror radius) broken applies to you, if they leave while you are healing broken goes away. Now Token 3, as someone who plays survivor a lot I can say that endgame collapse with neither door open and the hatch closed is frustrating. You can bring keys instead but killers complain that keys are too op (despite people rarely ever bringing them) and that you become the target in their eyes, not to mention they’ll sometimes throw Franklin’s Demise in as a backup. I hope Token 3 helps alleviate that stress without hurting the killers and making endgame considerably more fair/fun) "There's a maniac! And he was- there was a saw... and it was either him or Ash and I didn't know what to do! Cut right through him and spilling out everywhere-"

Motivated - When a survivor is injured all gen progress is sped up by 3/3.5/4% for each survivor totalling 12/14/16% max. When a generator is completed receive a Haste bonus effect for 10 seconds. (I thought that they did a good job of handling everything in Until Dawn and came up with this, when I realized I wrote the counter to Thanatophobia, I gave in and just made the counter to Thanatophobia. It only counters the injured portion and so Thanatophobia takes effect when the survivor is in the Dying or Hooked state) "I'll get you out of this, I won't let you die!"

Take this Seriously - When within a 20/26/32 meter radius of a survivor in the dying state perform altruistic actions faster by 10/18/25%. (I thought it would be a nice idea to give survivors the option to either, get them up and lose a speed boost, or keep the speed boost and let them start dying. This perk also counts when survivors are being carried since it still counts as the "Dying" state) "Great, so basically you're saying that we put a vulnerable friend in a terrible situation and essentially caused her to run away and never be heard from again?"
