Jack The Ripper

[Seiko300]

I'm inspired (may or may not be by the AC syndicate Jack The Ripper DLC *COUGH* *COUGH*)
What can I say?


Jack The Ripper, a two century year old legend now turned myth. His hate combined with insanity forming a peculiar form of darkness. One that the Entity had desired for even after his death. Pulling at the strings of the supernatural the Entity has finally managed to bring this demented man, If he could even be called that, back from the grave.

Jack The Ripper:

Ability: Ardor
The Ripper is a Killer that cost the Entity a price, in order to keep himself between the worlds of living and dead in the realm of the Entity, he requires blood for every 6 times the Killer hooks a survivor, The Ripper is allowed a Mori to kill a single survivor by his own hand, to rip him.

Edit: A lot of people didn't like the idea because it seems a bit "uncreative" and while I do think it fits the persona and even creates a bit of lore / backstory that I like, I agree that it is not the most out-there ability. Fortunately a fellow community member provided another backstory that I was able to expand upon that I like a lot better, so a thanks goes out to @Dylan

Ability 2: Obnubilate
Years of stalking in whitechapel caused Jack to become used to the murky conditions. An extremely thick fog separate of the entity blankets the entire map reducing the visibility of survivors greatly, while not affecting the visibility of Jack.

I've been considering this ability for nearly an hour, trying to make someone to make it a bit more different than it is currently, but can't really figure out what would be a semi-balanced way to do it. I will leave our two-comment conversation here:

A Green Fog blankets the map. Years of stalking in Whitechapel got Jack used to the murkey conditions, he even used it to his advantage... All survivors view distance is greatly reduced and Jack's terror radius is reduced, but he can see survivors aura until he gets within a 32 meter radius(Once within this radius, the heartbeat begins). Whilst the ability is activated, Jack is immune to premonition. Effects last until Jack downs 1 survivor. Jack can use this ability again after sacrificing a survivor"

I don't know, i might have made him too similar to Myers. I'm not really good at this sort of thing, was just an idea i thought was cool.

It is a really nice idea, A killer using the fog to his advantage (in terms of an ability) is something I never thought about before. Maybe instead of a terror radius he actually creates a really thick fog around him, of course being used to these "Murky Conditions" this won't affect his own sight, only making it harder for the survivors to see while inside his terror radius. Maybe take the terror radius / heartbeat mechanic away completely and replace it with the fog idea. (Just something that came to mind reading your comment).

But yeah, I made this thread a really long time ago, so it was a surprise to see comments under it. :P But I suppose I still really like the idea of Jack The Ripper in Dead By Daylight so my idea still stands.

Perks:
Bloodlust: The Ripper is attracted to blood. The scent of a wounded animal. For every Survivor that is wounded increase movement speed by 1%/2%/3%/4%

Messy Hanging: The Ripper hangs a survivor so savagely that even the entity has trouble gripping their physical forms increases the time a survivor spends on a hook, but also increases the time it takes to rescue survivors from a hook

Ripper: Downed survivors, suffer from their wounds and bleed out much more quickly than normally, forcing another survivor to find and heal them.


DISCLAIMER: All perks are tentative, and subject to change. The main point of this was to entertain the idea of Jack The Ripper being a slave to the entity's power.

(note: I probably should have come up with this around halloween.)


Survivor:

Noah Foster, a Ripperologist and fanatic obsessed with the Killer mind and psychology, planned to work in the police force in forensics or CS analyst. While he waited to get through his college tuition he spent his days in his own room attempting to solve unsolvable crimes as well as new cases the Police would post in their own records His main focus being the killings that took place in 1888-1892 attempting to figure out the identity of the famous Jack The Ripper
...However he may have gotten more than he bargained for

(Sorry to kill the mood, but yes a "Ripperology" and "Ripperologists" are real things. Google it on your own time)

Perks:

Analytic Pursuit: Noah, having been holed up in his room learned some significant knowledge, such as footprints and how to track them. This perk allows Noah to see the tracks of the Killer himself

Technical Knowledge: Whether it was by the knowledge he came by in school, or the constant repairing of various parts for his neighbor or on his own time so many times, This perk allows a survivor to repair faster

I'm confused about the Ardor ability. Is it just like a worsened Devour Hope?

EXACTLY

[I Play Without Monitor]

"Ripper" perk. I'm pretty sure there is already common perk that makes survivors bleed out faster.

[Arra]

He is awesome :3 (well he wasn't he was a murderer but he is a legend so... nah you know what I mean xD)
And he sounds so well designed like much more balanced for both sites

[Zoomytoast]

I doubt we'll see another famous killer for a while. Myers was expensive.

Except Jack was a real person. :/ I don't think someone can own copyrights for another person.

(Shrugs) I forgot Devour Hope was a thing, since it's relatively new, the point was for the concept not the perks or ability those are always just examples to get the wheels in people's minds turning.

(also, just saying what concept of a Killer you want in game won't get anyone's attention. "Clown Killer?" "Cool!" "Ok." that never gets anywhere. :P)

His special is worthless when you consider what is already available. You might be able to use his special specifically once in a match if you are lucky on top of that..

Think that is my only real issue here. That said I can not think of a ability that would fit him that is uniqe in any way. That said when thinking of Jack the Ripper special ability wise I would think of his ability to evade detection more than him having a built-in mori.

True, but technically Jack the ripper is free domain, unless the character somehow resembles some Jack in some other game.

Could be spring-heeled Jack[en.wikipedia.org]! :o
(spring-heeled jack sorta appeared in AC syndicate too, although not really)

That would be nice, except I'm always turned off by that since The Wraith can already turn invisible, MM already has the reduced terror radius, and the insidious perk is already a thing.

Not much that I can think of to go off there :/ sadly. I'd love for the game to have more "stealthy" killers, you know when a teacher asked for a single answer and a student literally gave every possible answer?

That's MM in terms of killer stealth and the other powers, (like instant down)

[MrFlaptastic]

But we'd need a survivor to go with him, like every other new killer. Maybe there should be a thread about new killers and survivors?

"Spring heeled jack" looks to be a completely different "character" / person. And most definitely not what I intended for the thread (sorry).

Was too lazy to put one in, but since you asked I'll put that in..

Since Jack the ripper was one of the first 'collectors' of bodyparts, it could be a thing if, for each survivor successfully sacrificed or killed he could get a token, and each token would improve him in some way. These tokens would carry on to following matches, and for each survivor that escapes him, he would lose a token.

Or he could have a way to get memento moris more often, or some in-built way of getting those kills.

Totally different I know, but just brought that up since this is a suggestion thread :P

The perks are cool the ability isn't
