New Killer Idea: Pyramid Head - New Survivor Idea: James Sunderland

[Dracubuh]

Bio - The story of how the "man" known as Pyramid Head came to be is a mystery to all those who have heard the tales. Is he human? Is he a monster? Is he even alive? No one truly knows. The origins of the Pyramid Head remain unknown, even to this day, but there is one thing that is certain, Pyramid Head's lust for blood will forever remain unsated.

Weapon of Choice - It is no secret that Pyramid Head carries around a Great Knife. However, he prefers to use the lighter alternative of his Great Spear instead. Make no mistake, this weapon can be just as deadly as his Great Knife in the hands of someone with much experience.

Appearance - Adorning his iconic butchers cowl and cone shaped helmet, it's no surprise that Pyramid Head is easily one of the taller killers out there. What you can see of this monster is the appearance of a muscular man, however, the cone shaped helmet suggests that he is in immense pain. Old blood and dirt stains the front of his cowl and decorate his arms and legs.

Special Ability: Great Knife - Sometimes, the Great Spear is just inefficient in getting the job done. In order to remedy this, Pyramid Head will switch out his spear for his Great Knife. Using the Great Knife will reduce Pyramid Head to the running speed of the survivors but will deal double the damage and have a longer lunge reach. The prep time for the lunge takes longer, however, as the weapon is extremely heavy. Because of the size and weight of the weapon, it can pass through objects such as generators, crates, walls, etc. Pyramid Head can switch back to his spear at any time when he has his knife equipped. Using addons can increase your speed ever so slightly and make it so that you switch weapons much faster. The switch time in between weapons takes about 5 seconds.

Perks:

Blood Lust - Your constant exposure to blood has made you lust for more. Blood trails left behind by injured survivors will glow on the ground for 2 / 3 / 4 seconds after the victim stops running before disappearing.

Carnal Desire - Striking a survivor of the opposite gender to the injured status will give you a 4% / 6% / 8% burst of movement speed that lasts 1 / 1.5 / 2 seconds after you recuperate. Striking a survivor of the same gender as yourself will only give you half the movement speed.

Menacing Stride - Instill fear in those around you. While you carry a survivor on your shoulder, prevent other victims from entering a 1 / 2 / 3 meter range of yourself. Survivors trying to bypass will immediately cower in fear and be unable to move for 2 / 3 / 4 seconds.

Maps - Silent Hill: A mysterious and dark place for those who dare to enter.

Brookhaven Hospital - A twisted place where doctors and nurses "helped" those with mental issues or health. It now gives off a feeling of abandonment and danger.

Lakeview Hotel - It is said that James Sunderland used to stay here with his late wife and that they have a "special" place located inside. The hotel has 4 floors including the basement, a restaurant, cafe, and even a bar. Go and stay there, if you dare.

Offerings:

Radio - Slightly increases the chance to be sent to Silent Hill when burned. (Common)

Video Tape - Considerably increases the chance to be sent to Silent Hill when burned. (Uncommon)

Photo of Mary - Tremendously increases the chance to be sent to Silent Hill when burned. (Rare)

Momento Mori: As the survivor lays there dying, Pyramid Head will take his time to plunge his spear into the ground with the tip tilted upwards at an angle. He heads towards his dying victim and picks them up by their head. Pyramid Head then carries his prey to the spear and will impale them on it with the spear head piercing their neck. After the survivor gives one last feeble struggle, Pyramid Head will lift them back up and unceremoniously drop them on the ground before he removes his spear from the ground.

Survivor Idea: The Widowed Husband

Bio - Ever since his wife passed away, James Sunderland has felt lost and confused without her. He's only ever desired to see her again and decided one day that he was going to revisit the town of Silent Hill; hoping to see Mary one last time. James had no idea what horrors awaited him once he arrived...

Appearance - James likes to keep his appearance simple. He wears a dark green jacket with a gray shirt underneath. He has navy blue pants and black shoes with his blonde hair in the style of a small bowl cut.

Perks:

Survivalist's Might - You won't go down without a fight. Struggle out of a killer's grasp 6% / 8% / 10% faster.

Last Chance - You've never heard more ominous words. As soon as you are hooked for the first time, your first struggle attempt will immediately free you and heal you to full health. Be warned though, the killer can see your aura for 6 / 8 / 10 seconds. You can only use this once per match.

A Survivor's Desire - You just want to make it out alive and see your loved ones again. As soon as all of the generators are powered, increase your movement speed by 5% / 6% / 7% when you run towards the killer if they are in a 15 / 20 / 25 meter range of yourself.

Achievements:

Our Special Place - Repair the generator in room 312 on the Lakeview Hotel map and live to tell the story

Nosocomephobia - Escape the Brookhaven Hospital map without losing a single drop of blood

Adept Pyramid Head - Achieve a merciless victory with the Pyramid Head using only his 3 unique perks

Red Pyramid Thing - Kill all 4 survivors using only your Great Knife

The Pain He Suffers - As the Pyramid Head, successfully land a lunge attack with your Great Knife on 100 survivors

Note: Yes, I know these two characters already belong to a franchise. That's why I wrote this all down. This is mostly done for fun to see if James and Pyramid Head would fit in the world of Dead by Daylight. It would be cool if these two were the next copyrighted survivor and killer to come to this game. It's most likely never going to happen though and like I said before, this was done for fun. Your feedback and opinions are welcome though :)

Edit: The perks for Pyramid Head and James Sunderland have been updated from a year and a half ago... Added some Achievements too.

Edit 2: Added a new change to the Special Ability.

I like, would you be interested in joining a bigger project called fan chapers, you can message me if interested

[Raptorrotas]

so he functions similar like the doctor?
Spear mode: can attack and move normally. No special ability
5 seconds transition
Sword mode: No attack and moves slower but has a chainsaw sprint without speed bonus, and only for a short duration?

Sorry, this is just a killer thats a worse Hillibilly or leatherface, depending if your ability allows multiple survivors to be hit.
"Run behind survivor till you hug his ass and then charge your instantkill ."-Hilliblly
"Run behind survivor till you hug his ass and then lengthily swap stances to lengthily charge your instantkill" - Your PH.

Doctors mode transition time has been lowered, for pig its still too long. Mode swapping adds unneccesary wasted time to already spend time charging the actual abilities.
While i think its nice you wanted to add the spear, it simply makes the killer more complex than he needs to be. Especially if there are already 2 Killers that work eerily similar.

Perks:
-Bloodlust: Blood doesnt stop dropping after survivors stop running, i think you switched that up with scratchmarks. Also Wraith's Bloodhound makes blood glow all the time.
If this perk was supposed to work with scratchmarks, which a survivor would then create for X seconds even after stopping running, then i guess it might be decent.

-Carnal Desire: thematically might fit PH, but i think the gender restriction throws it down quite a few notches on the tier list. Otherwise the effect is quite strong, i guess

-Agression: People wanted an anti bodyblock perk, this might help. Cant say anything bad about it


The survivor perks are annoying and pure cancer, so Survivors gonna love those. Congratulations you created atleast one perk that might make it into the meta. Especially Survivors Might.

Add one or two mist offerings to Haddonfield and Bedham and you get SH maps anyways.
Thematically James would fit into DBD right away, he gets "lost in the fog" at the end afterall.
Damn, they wouldnt even have to change his lore.

I have to disagree. Blood Lust needs to be renamed since there is already a blood lust effect in the game. Also, it is just a really bad version of Bloodhound. Carnal Desire is garbage. It is just a bad idea in general to make perks more or less effective based on the gender of characters. Aggression is kind of "cute". I came up with an idea for de-ranking that involves chasing survivors while carrying another survivor. This would be useful for that... but for virtually anything else it's bad. If you are curious about the de-ranking game you can read about it here:

I quite like the idea of something that's based on the survivor you play. The survivors all play the same once you have the Teachable perks, making them admittedly pointless to level. Having something that would sway your decision on which you would play would actually be cool.

Wow... I made this a super long time ago... But thank you for the feedback. Throughout when I first posted this as a suggestion, I made a lot of edits to the perks for Pyramid Head and James. I'll probably edit those in later.

So I made Blood Lust to counteract Iron Will. Kinda hard to hide when the pools of blood you leave on the ground literally glow. Combine Blood Lust with Bloodhound then you'll probably have a really fun time...
