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:

Just an concept...

"Ability: Pea Soup

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

If it was on a pinned thread, you would have no problem finding the URL for it.

But at least we can agree to disagree. Which at least shows you're not completely insane.

Because I haven't used their email so why would I have it on hand? It's on a pinned thread go find it yourself.

Yeah that's cool just label someone insane when they have a different view than you.

While it is great that you took all the time to think these things out OP, that main power is beyond stupid. To me, it looks like something designed by a survivor main trying to promote the whole "omg the right way to play is to hook em a bunch".

The ripper perk is pretty nice, although it would lead to way more people running unbreakable.

Aside from that, The Ripper would feel out of place. Behaviour should stick to trying to get licensed killers when they can and original designs of their own.

Eh as much love as I have for other movie killers I would prefer them to make up their own. Since their designs for killers are actually quite good.

Alright, alright, fine, I've finally edited and added a second ability idea for people to check out.

Again, I will re-state all the ideas presented are tentative and subject to change.

Unbreakable is a perk that can only be used once per match, and even if a survivor manages to get back up he's still in an injured state. I don't see this being much of a problem because if you're really slugging people, then swiping them down into the dying state multiple times is pretty normal.

As I said in the thread, another strategy to be used is that once people are struck down into the dying state their bar on how much life they have left might change to orange or something of the like, signifying the perk is in use and that they will die faster. Meaning if you want to save your friend, you better commit and get them up nigh-immediately or they won't be there to help you when you need it late game. Possibly dying faster than being on the hook (although the trade off for this would be earning less points).

And isn't that a bit hypocritical, to say that "the right way to play is to hook them a bunch" is wrong of a statement? I mean, that's HOW you kill survivors in game. Slugging takes too long, (without the perk ripper) and Mori's are few and far between. Hooking a survivor 3-4 times is how they die.

Lol, internalized oppression. You got that right.

Looks very interesting.Could it be a mix of Jack and Mr. Hyde? What about the look.Something as this would do?

Jack the Ripper should only be able to mori women and his mori should be based on 1 of the 6 historical Ripper kills.

What a necro.

Identity V has "The Ripper" which according to the bio is implied to be Jack the Ripper.

He starts the game with Fog Blades that take 20 seconds to Regen. They leave fog when thrown and are thrown when you attack, and can do damage. If they hit a survivor, the survivor with trail fog. Walking in the fog gives him a speed boost.

Once he's gained presence, he passively fades into invisibility (think if the Wraith didn't lose his TR and Stain, but could attack out of invisibility.)
He enters invisibility quicker if he passes through fog.
Invisibility drops when breaking pallets, vaulting, picking up survivors, pretty much everything except using talents and walking

[Seiko300]

A flattering necro, but a necro nonetheless

Side note, it's also really cool to see that I mentioned an idea called "bloodlust" all the way back in 2016 which increased movement speed and a variation of that very idea has actually been implemented in game. Even if it's pure coincidence (though I think not, because the community wasn't nearly as large back then) it's still a pretty cool coincidence nonetheless.

Jack would still be a cool idea to see, but we'll never know unless it happens

Identity V wasn't around when I made this thread, but yes I am aware of the character. It is also cool to see that this idea was also fully realized in some form as well, another cool coincidence? I think not, but oh well

Why not.Hmmmm.Could Jack use special perk for example, he could see a location of female Mori that close by,even if they hide behind, let's say the rock or crate for a short period of time?
