Doomed Course Character Lore
BHVR, you can't just drop a PTB without any warning when I'm busy like this. Especially for our first genuinely evil Survivor and the absolute fever dream that is the Killer's story. Taurie Cain Taurie Cain was born and raised in a suburb outside Glasgow with her older brother Ewan. Unusual for Scotland, the kids were…

Archives Breaks Everything
System: PC (Steam) Issue: When I open the Archives and go to listen to them, the game instead mutes all volume, and trying to leave the Archives instead freezes the entire game, forcing me to directly close it from the Steam client. I know it's the game breaking because other sources of audio work just fine, but it's like…

Castlevania Character Lore
As usual, new chapter means new characters which means new lore. And as usual, since it's licensed, there's not really much to show, but I'm doing it anyway. Trevor Belmont In the year 1476, fear swept the Romanian countryside. Monsters of myth and legend ruled the night. Some said they were commanded by a mysterious…

Tomb Raider Character Lore
Through the manic ranting I made in the PTB Suggestion about the absolute worst UI change I've ever seen, I forgot that I usually do this, though frankly I'm not sure it's worth it for single-character chapters. Especially licensed ones that seemingly don't have permission to go in depth. Even as a child, Lara was driven…

Dungeons & Dragons Character Lore
Although the store downgrade update made it VERY annoying to access the character lore (they removed the lovely F1 character card, which also leads to several Killer powers getting cut off, INCLUDING VECNA), I was still able to this out. Aestri Yazar & Baermar Uraz Aestri and Baermar arrived in the Free City of Greyhawk to…

Defining the Unknown
The newest freak of nature to join the DBD roster is the Unknown. Basically everyone I’ve shown this thing to has asked the same question: WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS THING? I mean, they’ve also asked where I get these things, why is it on my phone, and if I am okay, but those aren’t important. So, I’m here to do the…

All Things Wicked Character Lore
After taking a year off from the forums, I think I've finally decided to (at least partially) come back. And what's this we have here? New chapter lore? What a fantastic (day-late) birthday present! Sable Ward Sable figured she had to be adopted. No way was she the progeny of her insanely perky mom and her grinning,…
-
DBD Killer Timeline
Since I have nothing better to do, I decided to put together a timeline for when each Killer's story took place. This took, honestly not that much time, but some of it is obviously questionable. And since a lot of these stories could have taken place during a large time period, obviously some Killers are in the wrong spot,…

Dear BHVR, Your Killer Heights are WRONG!!!
I'm bad with intros, so this is all you're getting. Killers are broken into three different height categories that determine the way they see the game: Tall, Average, and Short. In general, I think we all know what these mean, right? Well, today I am here with irrefutable evidence that everything you thought you knew about…

Resident Evil: Project W Character Lore
As usual for a licensed chapter, there's basically no lore for these three, but Rebecca and Albert still got more than usual, and it is leagues better than what we got in the last RE PTB (which was quite literally nothing). Ada Wong Everything about Ada Wong was an enigma. Her history, her nationality, her allegiances, her…
-
Roots of Dread Character Lore
Once again, with the new chapter comes new lore. Sadly, I find Haddie's lore kind of disappointing, since it basically ignores 90% of what happened in the Archives, but it is what it is. The Dredge is cool. Haddie Kaur Haddie spent her youth in a household brimming with love. Her mother, Professor Basant Kaur, moved across…
-
Sadako Rising Character Lore
For the first time since Ash vs. the Evil Dead, we have actual, in depth lore for licensed characters (although, I guess Cheryl was somewhat in depth, but it wasn't on the level of anyone from Leatherface to Ash). So here it is. Yoichi Asakawa As a child, Yoichi gained an interest in the supernatural from his father and…

Portrait of a Murder Character Lore
You know the drill by now: New original chapter, new original lore. Jonah Vasquez Jonah Vasquez saw the truth behind the veil. His gifted mind understood numbers in a way few could. Sunsets, architecture, a blade of grass–he saw more within them than eyes could gleam. He understood the language that explained…

Just When You Thought Dead Dog Saloon was fine
Platform: I'm PC, both of these jokers were console. Description: See for yourself. I am unable to actually reach them (I could hit them in very specific spots, and I was eventually able to get up myself, but not without difficulty). Steps to Reproduce: No idea how Élodie got up there honestly, but Nea joined after I…

Hour of the Witch Character Lore
It's been a while since I could do this (Resident Evil had no lore on PTB and Hellraiser wasn't enough to be worth doing), but here's the lore for Mikaela Reid. Mikaela Reid was sixteen when her father passed away. She would always miss his sailing lessons at dawn, his colorful yet inedible tacos, and his warm, contagious…

All-Kill Character Lore
For those who can't access the PTB, I have continued my "job" of transcribing Yun-Jin's and the Trickster's lore for you. Yun-Jin Lee Resilient and ambitious, Yun-Jin was born into a life of hardship finding success in the music industry after years of effort and self-sacrifice. As a child, Yun-Jin was fascinated by sound,…
-
A Binding of Kin Character Lore
As I did with Descend Beyond and Felix and Blight, I transcribed Elodie and the Twins' lore for those who can't access the PTB. Elodie Rakoto Born into a lush Parisian household, Élodie Rakoto grew up in a comfortable home miles away from the verdant island of Madagascar, her parents’ birthplace. Her backpack was always…

Chapter Idea from the Corners of my Dreams
A while back, I had a dream about a new chapter for Dead by Daylight, but the forums really didn't want me to bring it to life than. So instead, I put what I remembered in a Google Doc. And now, I've fleshed it out (except for a name). Survivor: Esther Whitman, the Redeemed Soul. Esther Whitman didn’t have a good…

Inconsistencies between Zarina and Caleb's backstories (and how they make MORE sense)
While we wait for Chains of Hate to officially come out so I can place Caleb Quinn in the Killer Timeline, I noticed that he and Zarina are connected. The reason Zarina got caught by the Entity is because she was investigating Caleb's massacre of Hellshire Penitentiary. Except, in Zarina's lore, it's called the "Mad Mick…
-
Descend Beyond Character lore
Since I haven't really seen anyone else post anything about this, here's the lore for Felix Richter and the Blight that I spent some time typing from the game (there may be a few punctuation differences, but otherwise, it's word for word). Felix Richter Felix Richter was born to Janos and Ursula Richter in Coburg, Germany,…

Can't view old Archives
I didn't see this being reported, and the search function is broken so... here we are Platform: PC Description: I should be seeing The Hunger, Claudette's 8th Birthday, Blood, Brass and Grit, The Entity, and Revelations in this part of the Compendium (all 100% complete, the only Archives where I bothered with the…

Speculation on Chapter 16 based on all available evidence
It's no secret anymore that Chapter 16 will be licensed, it's just a question of WHO it will be. I want to look at the biggest names I keep seeing pop up, the clues towards them and the clues against them to fully speculate on who it will be. Killer 1: The Wolf Man For The code for the chapter is Wales, where the movie…

Feelings about the Archives
I don't know whether this should be here or in Off-Topic, but since it deals with the Archives, I'm putting it here. With the second Tome done and the third one, Escalation, on the way, I think we understand what to expect from them. So, I just want to speak about how I personally feel about them, individually. I will be…

Unique Survivor Builds
We all know by now that Survivors are just skins, with no unique abilities. But I really don't care. If I did, I would be going to Feedback and Suggestions, and I personally don't believe what I'm about to say belongs in General Discussions, which is why I'm posting this here not there. What I do is run each Survivor with…

Legion and Jeff
Someone (I'm blanking on your name right now, sorry) came up with the idea that the Entity grabbed both Jeff and the Legion at the same time. The evidence being Jeff decided to go up to the lodge, and Frank hearing something moving in the woods by the lodge. That something would be Jeff. Don't get me wrong, I love this…
