General Mindstorming for new Killers and survivors
Im aware that the developers dont want to include real life killers, yet we have the doctor, who is strongly inspired by some famous chinese Killer. I would like to see a Killer that is strongly inspired by Jack the Ripper. Some Victorian Clothing, a nice top hat. I think thatd be great. For a halloween costume, he could wear a jackolantern on his head with his top hat on top. Give him a nice, english sounding name like...Archibald or Ernest or something. Besides a Knife, he could wield a firearm fitting for the time period. The rl Jack was around at the time of graverobbers and early medical achievements on the body, so i imagine a mori that would literally cut a survivor open and inspect the organs, maybe take some with him. A nice, new arena would be like, victorian london. Take some inspiration from Bloodborne, Yharnam looks great.
Maybe we can have some kind of Sherlock Holmes Ripoff for the survivor counterpart. And Mr Watson.
Another Killer that this game needs is Slenderman. Needlessto say, he is an icon of early Horror games. He could leave messages all around the Map and whoever comes close to them gets staggered for a bit. Im sure someone more competent can come up with better gameplay ideas. Im not to sure about a Survivor Counterpart though.
As Another Killer, i would like to nominate the Revenant from Elden Ring. I feel like it would fit right in.

If I can have a license one, I would love to have "Necormorph" killer from the famous Dead Space franchise game chapter, with Space ship Ishimura Map and the main protagonist Issac Clark in the game.
If I can have a original chapter, I would love some sort of werewolf or even Vampire based killer. For the wolf, their power can be a mix of mobility when it goes on four legs and dash/pounce at incredible speeds; and maybe as the ability to climb over pallets/obstacles like say a truck or a window; and can leap towards a Survivor from a distance to bite them. For the vampire, similar to Oni when it comes extracting blood for power growth; but he gets faster, can transform into a bat and possible do a air attack onna Survivor from above or teleport ability to the any generator on the map, doesn't instant down but can move faster and be stronger in destory pallets/gens faster and more regression for the amount of blood he consumed.
As for my own custom chapter, I want a "Maid" killer concept ... a killer whom is sexual abused and locked up in chains in her "Master's basement; and then goes insane and murders all the guest and her own master in the Mansion (as part of her background lore). She is weilds a sharpen broom stick handle; and she has a power similar to chains; which applies Hindered status effect to survivors until they break. And she can placed down fake hatches, and make Survivor whom stumble upon them, to get teleport straight to the basement. Of course, how chains are completely different then Cenobite; and that this killer needs to go nears obstacles and walls to manually attach the trap to them with her magic. Any Survivor that go near the obstacles will be attacked by a chain collar that latches onto the Survivors and the survivor’s is being "pull" directly towards the chain wall. The Survivor can run far away from the chain and doing a "resist" interaction to rip the chains off and get free from the chains to get away. The Survivor also yelps with attack and is unable to vault or drop pallets with a collar wrapped around their neck. Fake hatch does the same thing, except the hatch will fire a collar around the Survivors neck and dragged them into the portal and teleport to the basement. It all about baiting the survivor to the hatch in order to displace them to a new location and secure the hit; the basement gets locked down for 10 seconds once a hatch trap is trigger and both the killer and Survivor cannot enter the basement or leave. The Entity will block the stair case or create a huge wall to enclose the basements only way in and out. This is killer is lean towards being a setup trap based female killer, whom can set as many as 10 chain wall traps anywhere in the map, along with one to two fake hatches to catches Survivor off guard.
The background story can be changed as I was more focused on the idea of a new trap based killer, but a maid is originally killer design with many outfit ideas to go for. I picture the killer as a small woman, is skinny with the pretty 17/18th century dress, possibly American or even European; with long black hair, her outfit is ripped apart around the skirt, she has bruises and she is clearly had collars and chain cuffs around her neck and hands and legs, she barefooted; and she used magic, black cursed magic like nurse to summons chains and fake hatches and break apart pallets and Genators this way. She mutters only few lines, talking to herself about how much she miss her Master (despite being dead) and how the "guests" need to be properly taken care off and need to be "civilized". She would be a bisexual, with a leans towards woman; yet her master has punished her for thinking this way; hencing her behavior towards female Survivor is more sad personality where "she is sorry, that she want to please master" and for males, they are "degenerate" and she will be psychological have hatred towards them. That and she will have a mori, in which she will chain a Survivor feet as they slowly get dragged to the fake hatch she summon; but not without going down to the ground and stabbing the Survivors in the back multiple times as their dead body goes into the hatch and then goes into the basement. Her movement speed is average with a terror Radius, but her teleport can be echo across the map when a survivor scream and goes to the basement upon successful hatch trap.
i like your idea of a "jack the ripper" character... it would be cool if they took the "gentle monster" out of Frankensteins monster, (because hes not really a killer per-se) and made a "self-preserving organ/bodypart scavenger" mashup of springheeled jack and frankensteins monster... for weapons id suggest a cane sword, and give him a limp but strangely agile... and a big cutthroat razor for sweeny todd vibes... tophat and tailcoat is a must... (maybe made of stitched human skin...) backstory something like the more he replaced himself, the more the madness set it, until he didnt even recognise himself anymore, and the the insane persona took hold of him forever.
id also like kayako, toshio and their cat all together as "the grudge" (i made a post already)
