New Killer Idea: Slenderman

Bibs

Usage Rights would be fairly easy to obtain, could be a very scary killer to see in game being very tall. His power could be played on something to do with his long reach? People suggest ideas and discuss below.

Maybe if you stare at him he gets stronger, like a reverse ghost face or Myers. The more you stare at him fills his power bar and lets him instadown, get faster, or dramatically increase his lunge range.

Already made a concept for this:

@Raven014 said:

Chapter: The Arrival:

Now, unlike some people, I do think a certain character can make their debut in DBD without issues.

Chapter Theme: A mix of No Friends and DBD theme.

The Killer: The Slenderman:

Lore: Long rumored to be a folk tale under many names: The Tall man, the child taker, the spirit of the forest... the Slenderman... his name has echoed through history. Now he stalks the realm of the entity, and those he preys on have no hope of escape.

Default Movement speed: 140%

Killer Kit:

Passive: Static Image

This passive allows Slender to put up pages around the map (On gens and totems). This effects the game in a few ways. One, it gives bloodpoints to both the killer and survivors. Two, Survivors will pull the page off before starting the action (less effective on gens but effective for totems). Three, you gain a notification when a page is taken.

Four, pages cause hallucinations that Slender can teleport to, as well as linger. At 0 pages, he is completely invisible. At 1, he can only have hallucinations at a fair distance, and they get closer at a slow rate. For each page, the spawning distance decreases substantially. Before 5 pages, he can strike rapidly, which disincentives survivors not gathering pages to avoid unnecessary hits (i.e. Jumpscares), while at 5, he can strike normally, but he will have a distortion effect even harder to read than the Spirit's. At 6, he will start to move like the Spirit, with distortions between them. At 8 he will look normal, with Hallucinations still appearing. This is when he's at his strongest and you will be exposed at this point.

Pages also cause a debuff to all survivor actions for each survivor. A 90% debuff with no pages collected, and +10% increase to action speed for each page, with the downside that they are making the killer more powerful.

However, survivors cannot escape without getting all pages. Not even through the Hatch. Each survivor must collect all 8 themselves. They only secure their own escape.

Secondary Passive: Anti-corn blindness:

Since he's the tallest killer, he will never be affected by corn maps in the same way most killers are. More of a joke passive, tbh.

Active abilities: 

Proxy Trap:

By pressing active ability button, you can manifest one of your past proxies to attack any survivor who approaches the locker they are near. The will jump out, perform an animation (Kate would do her scratching, Toby would attack with hatchets... etc...) and the survivor would receive one state of damage (healthy to injured, and injured to dying). Borrowed time will activate because of this. DS can be activated if the trap would put into the dying state to negate that attack.

If a survivor Runs into a locker, there will be a sound of a proxy attacking the survivor, before the survivor is ejected out.

Scattering Pages: 

The killer can choose where to place pages. This would place a page on a highlighted area (can be a wall, object, or locker).

Hallucination or Reality?: 

He can teleport with the secondary button press. If he teleports, he has a small window to strike a survivor (Standard melee attack like a hag trap).

Perks:

Survivor's Obsession:

Survivors who have seen you have your image burned to their head. Hallucinations will appear to move toward them for 10/8/5 seconds before disappearing after they see you for the first time. They will scream in response.

Horror's Past:

Those who linger too long will experience a horrifying moment of the location's past. Survivor's who stand still/stay in one place/are afk will see a scene of a killer mori'ing a survivor (the killer of the match). This is a hallucination, but they cannot move for the duration. They will scream in terror when it ends.

Haunting Shadows:

The light may be your ally now, but it is always night in the trials. Pits of shadow spawn sporadically, restricting movement through the map. If left unattended, Survivors will have entire swaths of the map impossible to traverse (24m, 28m, 32m). These can be burned away by a flashlight or by the light of finished generators. 

Mori:

He uses two of his tendrils to pick up the struggling survivor by the arms, and then uses more to stab from multiple directions up through the lower torso. The struggling ceases after a moment, in which the survivor dies, and he drops them to the ground. 

Terror Radius/Chase Music:

Flicker: Slender: The Arrival Soundtrack

Survivor: Lauren:

Lore: Lauren is one of a few to have lost family to the Slenderman and survive... until she went missing during a wildfire in the woods a decade later. Armed with the truth of the horror she saw, she brings a new item, the camera, to document and understand the killers of the fog better in order to escape better.

Perks:

Understanding:

Understanding the killer is one of the best ways to counter them. After watching the killer for 120/100/80 seconds, their method of killing will become known to you.

If this involves traps, you will be able to notice them better.

If this has a charge bar, you can see the bar for it flash on screen when they use it near you.

You will see the Duration of Myer's T3

However, addons like Logwood Dye and Tar Bottle, Rusty Shackles will counter this perk. Addons that effect charge times for abilities will not show any change to you.

This does not work with the Clown, Huntress, Micheal Myers T2 progress, Nurse's Blinks, Freddy's Teleport, Legion's Recharge, GF recharge, or Demogorgon's Charge.

Record:

Recording the killer can help you show others their weaknesses. Allows you to have a camera. After using half of a camera's charges, you can use the camera to reveal the aura of traps in the vicinity.

A camera is a new item added to the game. Half the charges must be used filming the killer or their belongings for the effect to take place. This will show the auras of traps and totems in an 8/10/12 m radius of the survivor (for the perk, but the item by itself would be just 8m). Addons can change the rate/amount of charges/ and radius of the effect.

Using it would be aimed like a flashlight.

Pain of Loss:

You know what it's like to lose those you consider dear to you. For every survivor death near you (20m or less), gain a token. For every token, you can shrug off one lethal hit (one that would put you in the dying state).

When you lose a token, you will receive the deep wounds effect and cannot lose another token in that chase.

What does everyone think?

Edit: Added relevant music.

I think going with Blue Isle Studio's version would be best... and it's not like they have to go to Sony since the character is usable with creative commons.

Happy I wasnt the only one thinking this, awesome that you have fledged the whole idea out. I hope it is seen by the Devs
