Any improvements or suggestions on my killer concept?
The Mourner
A phantom of a bride holding a bouquet of flowers. Due to a freak accident to her husband who tragically died on their wedding day. The Mourner has never stopped crying at the tragedy which unfolded. The church has always had a place in her heart. She wept and wept until she withered away and lost all grasp of humanity. It all happened so fast she convinced herself it was just another nightmare. She refused to believe the story's people told and got caught in denial. She began hearing his voice and she knew he was out there... somewhere.
She became a lost soul rummaging for any trace of her beloved husband. Desperately seeking hope. The entity took her and she could feel the everlasting presence of her husband nearby. To this very day she is said to be still searching in hope she will finally find her husband so they can rest in peace forever.
Weapon: Bouquet of Flowers
Flower set 1 - Lilies: The lily is the flower most commonly associated with funeral services as they symbolize the innocence that has been restored to the soul of the departed. "Young love is always destined to die in the end." (Vicar Amelia's monologue part 1)
Flower set 2 - Death Black Roses: The black rose, because it symbolizes death and passing away, also indicates a major change or upheaval in the future. In that sense, the black rose also means the death of old habits and the old order. "She was trapped in love, too weak to break free but her will to find completeness doomed her" (Vicar Amelia's Monologue part 2)
Power: Lingering blossom - Allows The Mourner to pierce an ethereal beam which can be used to traverse pallets, walls and obstacles. 3 ethereal beams can exist at one time at any distance. Any more will erase the earliest made ethereal beam.
While traversing an ethereal beam you move at an increased movement speed (5m/s). Survivors cannot traverse ethereal beams.
Ethereal beams have a cool down of 8 seconds after each 3 ethereal beams you place. (You can't use her like nurse)
Stats:
Terror radius - 16m - non directional crying (no heartbeat)
Movement speed - 4.2m/s base
Height - Average
Ethereal beam cast time - 1.4 seconds (affected by add ons)
Ethereal beam Distance - 10m (affected by add ons)
You can drop out of the ethereal beam at the point you want, you don't have to go to where it ends. You could juke the survivor by using it and reappearing where you started the beam.
Ultra rare add on - My Big Day - The Mourner has 1 less ethereal beam, action speed is reduced by 20% (reverse brutal strength). For every destructive action you make you reveal survivors within a +3m range of you each time. After 10(max) destructive actions you will see all survivors within 30m. Injured survivors are not revealed unless they are sprinting, healing or working on an objective.
You will be able to tell if The Mourner has an ultra rare add-on as they will pick petals off of the bouquet of flowers and leave a trail as they move across the map.
Let me know if any improvements, I just thought this would be kinda creepy and pretty to have. Plus the power is kinda unique.
Comments
I'm guessing since noones slamming my idea, my idea is actually decent? Maybe? Well I really like it.
So it's like a Hag that sets portals instead of traps? Isn't the teleport distance a little too low?
Now you're thinking with portals.
I like the concept. Nice work. Is there a point to weapon set 1 vs 2 or was that just for cosmetic/flavor purposes?
It's not a teleport. It's like a doctor's shock sized beam portal thing you can travel through quickly. You can set these up as a way to ambush survivors to get them into bad positions. You can use 3 ethereal beams at base so you could have 3 quick access beams to use to get a better position to land a hit on the survivor.
Bouquet is just cosmetic. Anything more will just overcomplicate things.
To just make it a little clear how the power would work I'm gonna describe a scenario.
You know Meg and Nea are working on a gen which is halfway done. You get to the gen smack it. No-one is there. You place a ethereal beam to the right through the jungle gym wall, you place one behind the wall the generator is resting against and the final one will be towards a nearby area with a pallet (the survivor might go there next)
You can quickly search the area and confuse the survivor into showing themselves. When they are seen you already have numourous alternative paths you can take. This would make safe area's less safe and this killer unique and unpredictable (especially with no heartbeat and non-directional crying)
Any ideas for perks would be appreciated.
I like the perk name Dying Wish.
Maybe something to do with crying like Chronic Weeping.
Another perk with the theme of something being taken away, as the husband was to The Mourner.
A portal is what it is but it's very clear to both killer and survivor where they start and finish. I don't like the word portal because people would deem it unrealistic and just slam my idea. An ethereal beam it is instead
One thing which I would want with this killer is to have actually fun add ons like some of the Myers ones and class photo Freddy.
Things like map-wide crying, survivors being revealed under certain conditions, maybe some add ons which just add something new, as in slowly raining petals and flower decorations which give Bloodpoint bonuses.
