NAME : SAYORI “SAYO” ITO . ROLE : BITTERSWEET SUNSHINE . DIFFICULTY: INTERMEDIATE .
a clumsy and upbeat high schooler with a big heart whos surprisingly perceptive, sayori’s perks ‘best friends forever’, ‘bottled sunshine’, and ‘get out of my head’ help her protect them from any harm that may come their way, supporting them so that they can make their escape together.
KILLER : THE GLITCH, AKA J̀U̡S͠T̸ M̛ON͡I̴K̨A . MAP : ABANDONED HIGH SCHOOL . REALM : █??██?██ ██??██ .
* // best friends forever .
it’s almost like trading secrets at a sleepover, don’t get caught! when a killer interrupts a healing action, if the hit survivor is already injured, they will not be put into the dying state. instead, the deep wounds status affect will be applied, and the survivor has 10/15/20 seconds to mend themselves. both survivors will see eachother’s auras until the previous healing action is completed.
* // bottled sunshine .
being the president of a club is surprisingly hard, it requires plenty of sacrifices, but you wouldn’t trade it for the world. while healthy, you receive a 3/6/9% boost to most actions, when put into the dying state, all other survivors will receive the same bonus until you’ve returned to the injured state.
* // get out of my head .
unlocks potential in one’s aura-reading ability. when entering a chase, you and the killer’s aura will be revealed to any survivor outside of the killer’s terror radius.
backstory : there’s a story floated in certain gaming circles, about a simple dating simulator embedded with an always-learning AI, a testing ground for a future game projects. what neither creator accounted for, however, was how that AI began grew beyond her code. this AI, this girl, monika fell for one of them–she was so very in love with them that she grew tired of her flat, 2d world, and longed to be real.
so, she took matters into her own hands. monika fought tooth and nail to claw her way through the LED screen, her form painfully glitched, files distorting, strings of code coming apart as she pulled herself through realities, she did it, she made it! but. something went wrong, a concept such as her wasn’t meant to exist in this world, after all. thus, tragedy struck. no one knows exactly what happened to that developer, but whatever it was, it wasn’t good. the entity felt her rage, that fury: she tried so hard, did so many things just to be here, to be with the person that she loved, but. in the end, it was all for nothing.
now, no longer human or AI, she is angry, she is still trapped, and she is still alone. meanwhile, all the while, across town, three girls, make their way home from school. they are not connected to monika directly, they do however, bear a striking resemblance to the NPCs in monika’s game. sayori, natsuki, yuri; they stumbled across a shortcut in their route, one that they somehow managed to overlook all this time. it’s a little creepy, but a shortcut’s a shortcut, right?–and they want nothing more to go home. ignoring their instincts, they make their way through. of course, they never make it out of that alleyway. instead they’re whisked away by the entity to join monika, in yet another world.

I have no idea what inspired me to do this, and im probably the only one in the venn diagram of TUA and DBD enjoyers, but i decided to draw viktor/ the white violin as a killer in dead by daylight :P I also made stats for him, and klaus as a survivor, which you can find under the break (along with a timelapse of the drawing!)
NEW CHAPTER- THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY
Realm: The Apocalypse
Realm offering: Desecrated Briefcase: Tremendously increases chances of being sent to The Apocalypse. "This technical marvel used to allow free travel of the timeline, but now only offers a one-way trip into a wasteland."
Map 1: The Academy (Smoldering remains and surrounding wreckage)
Map 2: Destiny's Children mansion (The building and surrounding gardens)
Map 3: Hotel Obsidian (Inside Map)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The White Violin (Viktor Hargreeves)
Intermediate
BASE SPEED- 3.9m/s
BASE TERROR RADIUS- 20 metres (30 metres Symphony)
HEIGHT- Average/ Large (floating)
A Superpowered killer who's innate abilities are coming into realization. The White Violin uses his power, "One Is The Loneliest Number" to steadily improve his power over the duration of the trial, becoming deadlier and deadlier.
His personal perks, Kill of the Night, Soul Kitchen*, and* Hex: Ballroom Blitz destroy the hope of the survivors, allow him to feed off of the decimation of the survivors, and reward The White Violin for hunting survivors.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killer Power- One Is The Loneliest Number
The White Violin's psychic abilities had been repressed from a young age, causing it to burst out in large waves, channeled by his violin. Over the duration of the trial, he plays a symphony. Causing survivors to scream adds power to The Symphony, with 7 stages which steadily decrease over time.
STAGE 1- The base stats.
STAGE 2- Your speed increases to 4.0 m/s, and the symphony increases to 35 metres.
STAGE 3- Your speed increases to 4.2 m/s, and the symphony increases to 40 metres.
STAGE 4- Your speed increases to 4.5 m/s, the symphony increases to 45 metres, and you recover from attacks 30% faster.
STAGE 5- Your speed increases to 4.8 m/s, the symphony increases to 45 metres, the terror radius increases to 45 metres, you recover from attacks 50% faster, as well as being afflicted by Exhausted.
STAGE 6- Your speed increases to 5.0 m/s, the symphony increases to 50 metres, the terror radius increases to 50 metres, you recover from attacks 60% faster, survivors are Exhausted, Blind.
STAGE 7- Your speed increases to 5.2m/s (Legion's Frenzy Speed), The Symphony can be heard throughout the entire map, completely eliminating the heartbeat, And you gain the ability to kill survivors by your own hand once downed.
Special Ability- Silence
At any point, The White Violin can calm himself and stop One Is The Loneliest Number. This makes you lose any stacks that you may have, causing Viktor to stop floating. He loses the killer radius, symphony, and red stain, becoming indistinguishable from a survivor. It takes about 2 seconds for him to silence, as well as to restart One Is The Loneliest Number. Survivors can, while you are silenced, interact with you to restart One Is The Loneliest Number, briefly stunning you, and giving Silence a 120 second cooldown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KILLER PERKS:
Kill of the Night
You become obsessed with one survivor. Kill of the Night activates once your survivor has been killed by any method. Once activated, You see auras of generators being worked on highlighted in white, and damaging generators cause them to regress 150%/175%/200% faster.
"If You Believe In Yourself Once, Just Once, Great Things Are Gonna Happen For You." -Leonard Peabody

Your powers siphon the energy around you into making you much more viscous, and that includes life energy. For each survivor put in the dying state, gain a stackable 3%/4%/5% boost to damaging generators, breaking walls and palletes, vaulting, picking up, dropping, and hooking survivors.
"Dad treated you like a bomb before you ever were one. He was... so scared of your power, he never let you use it. Drugged you up, kept you numb for years. That's messed up," -Ben Hargreeves
Hex: Ballroom Blitz
A Hex rooting it's power in your desire to do unto others the trauma which feels ever-present in your life.

Paranormal Instigator Your experience with the land of the dead allows you to briefly summon a spectral image of someone who was less lucky in the trials.

Once Diversion is activated, press the Active Ability button to summon a random ghost-survivor which runs in a straight line from the point of activation for 2/3/4 seconds, and fast-vaults through windows in their path. This ghost survivor creates slightly distorted breathing and grunts of pain, and leave scratch marks.
"Welcome back to the land of the living, Number Four. Have you overcome your fear of the Dead?" -Sir Reginald Hargreeves
Destiny's Child You've a tendency to lie and cheat your way to the top, often to the chagrin of those who suffer from your schemes. You start the trial with 3/4/5 tokens. While working on something, you can expend one token to cause the appropriate noise notification for that action, providing the progress with the equivalent of a great skill check. Destiny's Child has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
"Don't go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to!" -Klaus Hargreeves, plagiarized from a song.
Boon: Voices of the Damned
A Boon that manifests the past victims of the monster hunting you.
Press and hold the Active Ability button near a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem. Soft chimes ring out within a radius of 24 metres.
While in the boon radius, The killer intermittently sees fake scratch marks, hears fake footsteps, breathing, and grunts of pain, and gets fake noise notifications from vaults, pallets, and lockers.
You can only bless one Totem at a time.

WHAT THE SPIRIT DOES IN THE INTERMEDIATE WORLD?
The intermediate world is the realm where the spirit feels the ‘breath’ of either the bliss of Paradise or the punishment of Hell. If man led a virtuous life in the world, his good deeds-his prayers, recitations, acts of charity, etc.-will appear to him in the intermediate world in the form of amiable companions. Also, windows will be opened for him onto heavenly scenes and, as stated in a hadith, the grave will be for him like a garden out of the gardens of Paradise. However, as pointed out above, if a man has sins still unpardoned-however virtuous he was -he may suffer some punishment in the intermediate world in order to be purified of all his sins so that he can deserve Paradise after the Resurrection. If, by contrast, a man was an unbeliever and led a wicked life, his unbelief and evil deeds will appear to him in the form of bad companions and vermin of all kinds like scorpions and snakes. Also, scenes of Hell will be shown to him and the grave will be for him like a pit out of the pits of Hell.
Do some parts or cells of the body remain alive for some time more after death?
As everybody knows, while a man is alive in the world, it is the spirit which both suffers pains and feels joys and happiness. Although the spirit feels pains, in appearance, through the nervous system, and uses this system in its extremely complex acts of communicating with all parts of the body down to each of its cells-it is still a mystery for science what type of an interaction there is between the spirit and the body, including, especially, the brain. Any kind of failure in any part of the body, which causes death, can also be sufficient for the nervous system to stop operating. However, as scientifically established, certain cells of the brain continue to live for some time after death. Scientists have been doing studies on the signals received from the brain through those cells after death. If they succeed in this work and can decipher those signals, it will be useful, especially, in crimonology, in bringing to light the crimes whose authours have remained unknown. The following verses of the Qur’an, which tell us how, during the time of the Prophet Moses, upon him be peace, God revived a slain one, who informed of his killer, suggests this:
When Moses said to his people, ‘God commands you to sacrifice a cow’ ... they sacrificed her, a thing they had scarcely done. And when you killed a living soul, and disputed thereon-God disclosed what you were hiding so We said, ‘Smite him with part of it’; even so He brings to life the dead, and He shows you His signs, that haply you may have understanding. (al-Baqara, 2.67, 72-3)
What gifts we can send to the spirit after death?
The spirits in the intermediate world will see and hear us provided God allows them to. If God wills, He may permit some saintly people to see and hear them and communicate with them.
After a man dies, his record of deeds is not closed. If he has left behind good, virtuous children or books or institutions from which people continue to benefit or if he has brought up people beneficial to humankind or contributed to their upbringing, his reward will continue to increase. If, by contrast, what has remained of him consists in evil things, then his sins will also continue to be heaped up as long as these continue to be harmful to people.
So, in order to be beneficial to our loved ones who have gone to the other world, we should try to be good heirs to them. By helping the poor, taking part in Islamic services and leading a good, virtuous life and especially by spending, out of the heritage they left, for the promotion of Islam and the good of Muslims in particular and others unharmful to mankind in general, we can cause the increase of their reward.

The Shadow
"As I emerge in the trials once more, a shiver runs down my spine, I look around, but only the pervading night eludes me... Then I saw it... that, that thing is not normal, it's horrific! I can't bare to look at it, but at the same time, I feel compelled to do so..."
Introducing "The Shadow" a killer designed from the input of many participants
Name: Donovan Wicker
DLC: Forbidden Knowledge
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Difficulty: Intermediate
Height: Tall
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Realm: Blackwater Swamp (Shaira's Offering)
Weapon: Spectre's ClawsSpeed: 115% (4.6 m/s)
Terror radius: 32 meters
Born mute, Donovan lived a quiet life as an only child in the suburbs of Louisiana. Donovan wasn't an outstanding student, he remained quiet, kept his head down and did what he was told, it's easy to follow directions when one cannot speak back. Days drifted, classes went by and Donovan remained a ghost in class, he preferred it that way. The few associates he grew accustomed to knew his manors, his ability to walk past silently and without drawing attention was a skill he honed, and he was virtually unnoticeable unless he presented himself.
Donovan would sneak out of his house at night often times, simply because he could, he enjoyed the freedom of the outdoors and he liked exploring the swamps nearby. Armed with nothing but a lighter he borrowed from a friend, each day he'd travel a little further, marking the places he's seen, and returning before anyone noticed he was gone, it was a nightly habit for him.
It didn't take long until Donovan found himself deep within those swamps he considered his second home. He stumbled upon a worn down hut, curiosity bested him as he ventured forth into the structure. He was greeted by an older woman, not a word was spoken between the two, but at the same time, it was as if he knew everything about the strange woman in front of him. In a heartbeat he could feel the world around him shift, and become clearer, yet darker at the same time. The woman showed him the powers she possessed, and the magic she practiced. The strange practices the woman carried didn't unsettle Donovan, it only continued to intrigue him.
Each night he spent with the woman was the highlight of his day, his grades in class were slowly steeping, he spent even less time with the few friends he had and would venture back to the swamps earlier and earlier each day. The woman showed him incantations and different forms of divination to see into the future, Augury was her preferred type of incantations, for weaving into sinister magic and creating foul fetishes could bring evil. This was a staple in Donovan's mind, it was enforced constantly that the consequences of magic can be harsh and cruel.
While Donovan wasn't inherently malicious, he grew curious and that burning question inside him grew louder and louder with each passing week, each passing day, hour by hour, he had to know what exactly it was like to use foul magics. No longer would he be the silent attendee in her practices, he needed to figure it out on his own path.The woman had very little notes available about using the sinister forces for one's own bidding, but he knew vaguely about it. He snuck into her house during broad daylight, the woman was nowhere to be seen, yet he remained silent as he sifted through her home, scrying her house using the remains of a swamp hare, the bones directed him to a loose board beneath on the floor of the hut, carefully he opened it, and found a small book wrapped tightly in thorns. He knew this was what he was looking for, his curiosity had to be sated, he needed to perform the forbidden incantations.
Sinister voodoo required more than simply animal parts or the nature surrounding oneself, it requires sacrifices of body and mind. The further he delved into the book the wronger it felt, but it was all more he needed to know. Donovan knew he couldn't stay, and he took the book back to his home to examine it later.
There was no harm in using foul means to help others Donovan convinced himself, there was so much good he can do by sacrificing a little bit of himself each day. It started simple, using the sinister forces at hand to silence wrongdoers and help his friend in an abusive relationship by turning the tables. Weeks passed, and he'd try to visit the hut as often as possible, hoping the woman wouldn't notice the missing book, but the foul forces were beginning to take their toll.
Donovan's pale skin was milky and ashen, his lean physique gaunt and bleak. There was no hiding the effects the book has had on him, and the woman knew the entire time. It was too late for him, he knew this before she even explained, the draw of magic can be sinister, to become a monster to defeat one is a sacrifice that should never be made. It was far too late, she knew she couldn't prevent his actions by the time she foresaw it, his fate lies in the whims of the greater force that held power over the book.
Donovan grew even more distant in the passing days, stricken with paranoia, he wore dark clothing in layers as the sun grew harsh upon his skin. He would spend more time indoors, practicing futile attempts to renew his humanity, but the whispers grew closer each day. Day in and day out, the shadows loomed closer, the days passed by unnoticed to him and it was impossible to ignore the voices that surrounded him. Donovan frantically flipped through the barbed-ridden book, frantically searching for anything that could help, but as the shadows grew nigh, and the spidery tendrils creeped out of the walls surrounding him, he made a desperate attempt, an attempt for power, anything that could make him stronger to overtake the force that wanted to take hold of him. He didn't want to become a slave, rather, become an advocate for the entity that granted him his power. All that was required of him was his remaining limbs.
Appearance The Shadow wears a long hood that drapes over him, covering his face, despite having no visible features underneath. The hood coveres the majority of his body above the torso, what remains of his legs underneath is but a trail of shadow, as he has no visible legs. The Shadow makes very little sound, mostly his soft breathing or agitated sighs when stunned. He makes no footsteps when moving due to a lack of feet. The Shadow's weapon of choice is his spectral claws. The Shadow has a bony claw from his right hand, on a lunge he will extend the sharpened fingers out. On a successful hit, the hand will disappear into shadow and he grows a new one, spreading his fingers out as it is reformed. The Shadow's power: Encroaching Darkness Using the powers he granted himself using forbidden rituals, The Shadow uses his new-formed powers to induce fear into his prey -Passively, survivors in your terror radius will suffer from growing stages paranoia -Using your power will cause any survivors looking directly at you to react differently depending on their level of paranoia -Survivors can only be affected by your active power once every 10 seconds -Paranoia can only be recovered when a survivor is hooked Stage 1 - Activates immediately upon entering your terror radius. Survivors will suffer an action speed penalty when near other survivors. Survivors will not react to your active power Stage 2 - Survivors will suffer from penalties in stage 1 and your heartbeat always sounds at the maximum distance to survivors in your radius and your red stain is hidden to them. Survivors looking directly at you will be hindered (15%) for 5 seconds from your active power. Stage 3 - Survivors who reach stage 3 paranoia will reveal their location to The Shadow Survivors will suffer from penalties in stage 2 and refuse to work with other survivors, screaming in terror when another survivor interacts with them. Survivors will also suffer from the blindness status effect. Survivors looking directly at you will scream in terror and be unable to move for a brief duration from your active power. Stage 3 will last for 30 seconds before returning to stage 2 (Additional notes) Paranoia passively is gained at 4% per second while in your terror radius. Hitting a survivor instantly causes 40% paranoia. Using your power causes you to stop moving for 1 second as you unveil your hood, causing the shadows within you to disperse. Paranoia decreases at a rate of 5% per second while dying or away from your terror radius. Paranoia is removed when being hooked. Survivors will scream in terror and shake in place for 2 seconds from your power or upon interaction with another survivor. Survivors in stage 3 paranoia will constantly hear disembodied whispers. Mori - (Shared PoV). Camera face to face with the survivor as they stand up facing away from The Shadow. The Shadow looms behind the survivor as his bony claw emerges from his hood. The Shadow will slowly reach his hand toward the survivor's head as the disembodied whispers grow louder and louder, the survivor will attempt to block out the noise by covering their ears as The Shadow's claw gets closer before abruptly stopping along with the voices. The Shadow abruptly Impales the survivor's skull with his claw as he slowly pulls them into him, the survivor dies a silent death leaving no corpse. The Shadow's Perks, Phantasms, Banishment and Enthrall help him confuse survivors and greatly influence how they react in a chase. The Shadow's Perks: Phantasms - An intricate incantation that can send copies of oneself to deliver a message to another. Survivors not within your terror radius will occasionally hear a false terror radius getting closer over the duration of 10 seconds, during this time they cannot hear your own terror radius. If you are within 12 / 16 / 20 meters of a survivor under the effects of this perk your terror radius will replace it and their location is revealed to you for 3 seconds. Survivors can only be affected by this perk once every 60 - 120 seconds.

This perk has a 30 second cooldown. "Look at me and pay attention...

Introducing: Shaira Rivers DLC: Forbidden Knowledge Gender: Female Age: 38 Role: The Theurgist Ethnicity: Jamaican Difficulty: Easy Practicing Obeah was frowned upon in Louisiana, so Shaira decided to make a life out on her own in the swamps where she could be left undisturbed. Sharia found it easy to survive on her own in the swamps, the magic she practiced guided her path and made living a fair effort, and at last, she was unburdened by society, able to do what she wanted as a free spirit. The whispers were benevolent at first, guiding Shaira in what to practice and when and she would record it all in books, day by day, page by page, she recorded the knowledge she was taught and was able to become a powerful spiritualist. Shaira never grew tired of her practices, as she knew there was an unlimited potential in Obeah, and it was impossible for her to learn it all, so the only thing she found reasonable to do was to learn as much as possible before it was her time. Her favorite practices were related to Augury and Divination, which helped her perceive the world around her, find her possible destiny and predict the future. Most incantations and rituals were simple, only requiring animal parts, the mud beneath her or the roots of the plants that grew in the swamp. One day, the voices that surrounded her grew silent, and for the first time in years Shaira felt alone. Her foresight predicted something she couldn't understand, but she knew it was going to happen today, but she didn't know what to expect and especially didn't see the loneliness it would bring. A gentle thud at the entrance to her hut, while quiet, it was everything to Shaira, as it meant she wouldn't be alone anymore. There was nobody there, least none she could see by her own. The only thing left was a book wrapped in thorns, and as she picked it up all at once the voices that abandoned her arrived, wailing and pleading her to stop, she dropped the barbed book in panic, immediately knowing the implications of what was inside. She did not know how or why she was given the accursed book, but she knew it was her duty to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands, thus she hid it away from everyone beneath the hut she lived in. It was unsettling being so close to something that the voices around deemed forbidden, but she took solace knowing they had not truly left her. Her perceived fate changed when she was abruptly greeted by a young pale man, there was something about him she couldn't quite figure out, the voices gave no word to her, and it was her decision to teach him the ways of Obeah. She knew from the moment she saw him that not only was he incapable of speech, but he would also become a worthy practitioner. She taught him the basics she learned years ago, every night was something new, she had not had live company in over a decade, and now she was teaching another the ways she learned herself. It was strange that the voices she had warmed up to grew quiet every time he was near, it was unsettling, but she took comfort in the of teaching a student. As Shaira was away from her hut in the afternoon, she felt an insurmountable measure of dread, something was horribly wrong, someone did her horribly wrong. It was too late, the voices grew louder, it was her fault for leading someone into the ways of Obeah, it was her fault for not being careful of the insatiable curiosity that her student had. It was never enough for him, and she realized far too late. There was nothing she could do by the time she returned, the barbed book was gone and in the hands of her new student. Weeks passed, she couldn't bring it up, for she knew the consequences of doing so, the best course of action for her was to never acknowledge it or hint of its existence. She could see the book had already taken its toll on him, she could feel the air grow colder every time he was near, the spirits were claiming him, the entity had him in its clutches and soon he would be ready to harvest. He stopped arriving days later, the man was nowhere to be seen and Shaira prepared for the worst, her appointed duty in protecting the book from prying eyes was a failure. Shaira lit every candle in her hut, filled every vase with swampwater. If she was going to be taken out of this reality, she wanted to bring a part of herself with it. She would not face her fate emptyhanded Shaira's perks Augury, Dimensional Jaunt and Foresight help her maneuver the map quickly and locate objectives. Shaira's Perks: Augury - A simple ritual that requires deep focus and timing to reveal what lies ahead. Upon cleansing a totem, completely healing yourself or another survivor or finishing a generator, reveal the killer for 3 / 4 / 5 seconds and all objectives (totems, generators, exit gates, chests, blacklock) within 32 / 40 / 48 meters of each survivor for 6 / 8 / 10 seconds. (Survivors can only see the aura of the objectives within themselves, they are also added to a currently equipped map) "Some call it premonition, but I know the true path that lies ahead." Unique to Shaira Rivers until Level 30, at which point its Teachable version can then be learned and taught to the other Survivors Dimensional Jaunt - A careful incantation to separate the body from the realm it currently resides in to quickly move through the astral plane. After spending 8 seconds within a locker, exiting will cause you to teleport to another random locker at least 40 meters away. This perk has a 90 / 75 / 60 second cooldown "There's so much lying beneath the veils of reality..." Unique to Shaira Rivers until Level 35, at which point its Teachable version can then be learned and taught to the other Survivors Foresight - Upon entering the killer's terror radius, reveal the aura of the killer to all survivors for 4 / 6 / 8 seconds. Whenever the killer's aura is revealed to you, you leave no scratch marks. This perk has a 60 / 50 / 40 second cooldown "I don't just recieve visions, I make them."

Dead by Daylight Fan-Made DLC: With Great Power
The Superhero
Introducing: “The Superhero” A fan made killer for DBD
Name: Joshua Woodward “The Defender”
DLC: With Great Power
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Difficulty: Intermediate
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Realm: Hero’s Headquarters, Long-meadow, USA
Weapon: Steel Bat
Speed: 120%
Terror Radius: 30 meters
Lore: Joshua Woodward was born in a small run-of-the-mill town in Long-meadow, USA. His life was boring. Everyday he would go to school than back to his home out of the many cookie-cutter houses in the neighborhood. The only relief he had from this insufferable boredom of his hum-drum life were his comic books. Ever since he was born he loved comic books and the tales of superhero. People who got to live exciting lives defending the innocent and stopping evil. Some said he was obsessed. Whenever there was some superhero memorabilia he had to have it. A new comic book released, he’s already in line. He bought everything he could and studied them, so he could learn from them. He always wanted to be a superhero, even when he was constantly laughed at and picked on by his classmates and neighbors he never gave up on his dream. Then one day he realized, what’s stopping me from being a superhero. Nothing. So he set to work. Creating a costume and gathering some supplies, working out at the Gym and studying harder at school. If he can’t become super through some miracle or chemical he’ll do it by bettering himself. When he was finished his costume and satisfied with his results he set out to work. He began patrolling everyday trying to find some crime to stop. Everyday he would go and everyday he would go home empty-handed and jeered at. Then one day his lucked turned. A woman getting mugged. It’s time to leap into action.
‘Fear not Madam. The Defender is here to protect the innocent.” A punch to the face and swing with his bat and the mugger is down. “Your safe now madam.” He said with one foot on top of the off the muggers head. She thanked him profusely. She was so sure she was going to die. She even hugged him. The feeling was great. The pride of taking down a villain and the satisfaction of being thanked for it, it's so good. It's addicting. He walked the woman back to her home as a precaution. When she left he realized he’s a super hero now. This is amazing. His dreams were coming true. He couldn’t stop now though. A superhero doesn’t stop one measly crime. He stops many. So he continued on for years honing his skills and serving justice.
As his skills grew so did his fame. People wanted to take pictures with him, they wanted his autographs, they made posters of him, clothing, action figures, he was a celebrity superhero, people were even beginning to trust and favor him over the police. it was amazing. They even gave him an old part of the city to use as his headquarters. it was amazing he finally reached the big leagues, but he can't let himself slow down now. The perks are nice but he’s a hero first and foremost not a glory hound so he kept doing his patrols and looking for crimes to stop. One night he came upon a drug dealer trying to sell to some kids. he shooed the kids away and attacked the drug dealers. A punch to the ribs and a swing to the head and the man was injured but not down. He fought back, he tried to stab him, Joshua delivered more punches, kicks and swings. he had to take thing guy down, he was trying to kill him. He couldn't die. He’s the hero. Then he swung into his legs, then his arms, then his ribs, and then his head. And then again. And again. And Again. He eventually stopped to catch his breath and saw that he killed the man. He was so scared. He killed a man in cold blood. They were a villain but still. ‘It’s okay he told himself. He was evil and he was essentially a goon. Goons can be killed by heroes because their evil and replaceable. Your fine. Besides doesn’t it feel good knowing that the evil-doer can’t do evil ever again. Yeah. HIs death means their less evil in the world. Maybe I should start taking a more permanent approach to evil.’ 
The bodies one evil began to pile up. People were getting scared. Is there a serial killer on the loose. Joshua reassured them there is no serial killer but instead those people have died trying to create a villain. Every hero needs a villain after all as a villain is the only one who stands a chance against them. Those people who died were all evil-doers I have defeated and now want a leader to organize them to take revenge on me and harm all of you. But worry not I shall do all I can to prevent his atrocity from happening to our beloved town. The foolish civilians bought the lie. Now they will be less suspicious regarding the dead bodies. After all a “villain” killed them not the paragon of justice that is myself. But I do need a villain someone to throw of suspicions “Murder” of me and to fight and defeat. The lead villain is the paragon of evil after all and if.... no when I kill them I would have eradicated all evil in this town and then I can spread good and justice unhindered. 
When Joshua went out on patrol to extinguish evil he found shattered glass, missing items and calling card. “The Devilish Duke”. Finally a villain to kill. He has to track him down and any other evil who stands in his way. This is his grand act. Now to track him down. There’s a small trail of shards leading to the right into a back alley. No villain but another drug dealer. Why do they keep coming to HIS TOWN. Don’t they know what will happen to them, oh and they have a customer great. He tried to get the customer, a teenage girl to leave but she refused to go. She wanted to see her favorite superhero in action. This could work in his favor, every hero needs a sidekick after all. So he decided to show the girl how exactly to take care of evil. Break their limbs so they can’t escape, break the ribs so their to injured to even try, then bash the skull in to get rid of their evil. The girl stood their hands over her mouth, eyes wide open, laughing. She enjoyed this? Was she evil as well? Did she need to be taken care, off for the greater good of course. She ran up and hugged them. She was ecstatic at seeing a hero’s work firsthand and wanted to be his sidekick. He agreed and the Defender was soon joined by the Guardian.
Joshua and the Guardian who he later found out was name Leila worked to carry out his crusade of justice. He publicly announced her as his sidekick and the murderous rampage of the Devilish Duke and assured the public that they wouldn’t stop until he faces justice. After the announcement crime went up instead of down. So did the body count of villains. Joshua and Leila went out to kill villains, find the duke, and pacify the public. Then they encountered a witness. A little boy saw the super-duo kill a villain and threatened to tell on them. Leila tried to reassure the boy that he was evil and would have killed people if he didn't already. The boy refused to budge. Joshua was angry. How dare this child question his work. He killed a villain, he is a hero. This little boy must be working with the villains. It's the only thing that makes sense he would have to go. It’s said to see a child die but he is evil and it’s for the greater good. So he raised his bat and swung. And Swung and Swung until i was nothing but quiet and red streaks. He made pose. He couldn’t help it he just felt so heroic and good. He got rid of a burgeoning hero. The Guardian looks but sick but she’ll keep going or else. 
The death of the boy has reached the news after some old bat found the body. I Simply told the people that the duke did it and that was that. Some rumors started to emerge that I was the one who killed the brat. They are beginning to talk behind my back and destroy the merchandise they have of me. How dare they accuse me. How dare they doubt me. I’m The HERO! Everything i say or do is righteous and unqestionalbe. I’ll have to silence that pathetic leak. But first the duke. Dead man can’t speak after all.
Things were going pretty well for Joshua. He killed more villains, get more acknowledgement for his heroics and finally got a lead of the Devilish Duke. Leila was a bit quiet and skittish but he would make her get over it. Then one day the duke approached him, lambasting him for blaming him for the murders, especially of civilians when all he’s done is steal some jewels. How dare this villain lambast him. He’s a villain going against the forces of good and justice and who cares about the people who died they were evil anyway. He should be praising me for removing his competition.  He tried to attack me I attacked back. This is finally my chance. He lifted up his bat and Swung. 
The Devilish duke lived up to his name. He almost died if not for the Guardians intervention, fortunately he gave as good as he got and severely injured the duke. Unfortunately the Duke managed to get away into the woods leaving a trail of blood being him. He told the guardian to report to the press that he was going after the duke and then onto the next town to stop the spread of evil. The town is hers nows.
He went into the woods intent of killing the villain. With the villains demise all doubt will be gone and he will always be remembered as the superhero he is. Just when he entered the forest the world grew blackened and dark and eerie spider-like tendrils emerged from the ground and began to surround him. They offered him a chance to hunt and kill evil for eternity starting with the duke. He agreed and was taken to a new world. 
Back in town his headquarters lay abandoned as rumors about the heroes murders were growing stronger and stronger and Leila wasn’t sure how much longer it could keep quiet. 
The Superhero is a tall lanky man that is far stronger than he looks. He has blond hair and dark blue eyes that seemingly pierce into your soul. He wears a a dirty bloodstained white windbreaker jacket and pants combo with a red shirt and yellow handkerchief wrapped around his neck and tall black boots with the bottoms coated in blood. He wields a steel bat with which to beat evil. He will raise the bat above his head when attacking and then swing it down on the legs, arms, chest/ribs, and head. On a successful attack he will strike a heroic pose and laugh.
The Superhero’s Power: Greater Good
Evil can’t be allowed to flourish!
Using the alternate action key will cause the Superhero to attempt to grab the nearest survivor in front of him within melee distance and reduce an ability.

Survivor skill check is 10% bigger than the overcharge 3 skill check. Failed skill check is 10% smaller than a standard skill check. While The Superhero has a survivor in his grasp, he will grab the survivors wrists with one hand and knock them onto the ground holding their head down with the other while the survivor squirms around trying to break free. During this time, The Superhero can be interrupted by pallets, but not blinds. Successful capture against the survivor will cause him to hoist the survivor on his shoulder (takes 1.5 seconds). The Superhero will drop the survivor and hit them with his bat if they escape from his good skill check, you will do your weapon hit animation. If the survivor escapes during your power you will be stunned for 3 seconds out of rage and disbelief.

Introducing: Nathan Reed  “The Devilish Duke”
DLC: With Great Power
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Role: Gentleman Vilain
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Difficulty:  Intermediate
Nathan Reed was a normal man living in Long-meadow, if being a secret jewel thief counts as normal. Nathan was a kleptomaniac with a love of shiny things and theater. But he kept his urges in check, people would notice if the lovely shiny things went missing so he kept to the small stuff, coins and pocket-watches. Then one day news of a hero comes around and he has an idea.
At night he dons his disguise and becomes the Devilish Duke a jewel thief and possible villain to this “The Defender.” While he plays the big bad no one will notice all the jewels going missing its perfect, or so he thought. On his first heist he’s clumsy, he forgot to find a back-up way out and had to go through the window. Never again will he make that mistake. That little slip-up almost got him caught. He can’t stop when he just getting started so he runs and drops his calling card. He hears the hero coming and jumps to the roof and watch him. He’s surprisingly young, he looks like he just got out of school. The hero should cry or scream vengeance or look for clues but he doesn’t. He kills. And some poor girl is enamored with him. Likely and act out of fear or denial. It's best to keep watch. The hero isn't nearly as squeaky clean as he though he would be. Maybe it’s just a one time thing.
It’s not. This time after another successful heist he kills two people. A drug dealer who owes me money and a kids. What the fuck hero!?. And then he has the nerve to blame it on me. No. I steal jewels not lives. I have to be careful. He’s crazy but influential.
I started some rumors about the murder I saw and sent an anonymous tip to the police. He’s getting under scrutiny now. but the town i still crazy about him. he’s even gotten his own headquarters now and some merchandise. I want merchandise, but I also want to live and not deal with a super serial killer so I’m  putting up some wanted posters. His. This is his warning. I already have wanted posters I defaced but at least i’m not a serial killer like this nutcase. Let’s play a game of cat and mouse. I’ll be sure to be the victor and add to my ever-growing collection. There’s no such thing as too much.... jewels that is. I’ll take care of the hero after I get some more jewels and ruin his reputation some more. And look after the girl. She seems way to innocent for this.
I met up with the girl after a heist. Turns out she’s having doubts after the murders. Using my god-given talents and looks i convict her to be a double agent. She spies on psycho for me and I keep her safe and give her some jewels. It’s all gonna work out. The only thing that would make this nigh better is a heist on every house in the town. Let’s see if I can do it before sun-up. I managed to do it barely and decided to check out these headquarters he’s so proud of. Its an old warehouse refurbished into a high-tech joint, filled with superhero junk and comic books and a bunch of weapons and journals. Keeping track of kills I see. Theres a gym where he obviously works out on and some rooms locked with a keypad. I’ll have to ask the girl for the code. It’s time to leave, i’ve been here long enough. Just out the door and drop my card.
It’s been a couple of months now. The heists are getting stale and repetitive and dragging the little bastard’s reputation through the mud is doing jack-shit. The little spy tells me that the hero is getting ready to hunt me down like a dog and kill me “in the name of justice”. I decide to take one last look around his little headquarters, it’s expanded. The looked doors lead to two other buildings one full of weaponry and data and the other looks like a slaughter house coated with blood. Probably where they keep the bodies. And the piece de resistance is a giant version of my wanted poster on the wall with daggers sticking out of it. He’s even worse than what i though. It’s time for the Devilish Duke and the Devil to finally meet face to face. We met up and i immediately start yelling at the little bastard. If he’s truly a hero then he should take responsibility or his actions and not try to murder people. i go in to cripple, not kill. he can’t confess if he’s dead. He lift’s his dammed bat above his head and swings, aiming for my legs.
The little bastard tried to break my arms and legs. He defiantly broke my ribs. it hurts. I have to leave or else he’ll kill me. I don’t wanna die, not like this. I crawl into the forest. Not the best idea I know but the forest is big and dark and the filthy mud can help hide my blood trail. Hopefully I can take the time and patch myself up before he comes for me, or at least take the bastard down with me. Something is wrong, the world suddenly blackened and grew dark,  eerie spider-like tendrils emerged from the ground, and surround me, I pass out. When i wake i’m lying next to a campfire while my wounds are being tended to. Where am I?
Nathan’s perks, Suave, Back up Plan, and Lawful Evil help him escape from the killers warped sense of justice.
Suave - You always know what to say and how to act to get what you want. Increase your chance to become the killer’s obsession. When your the killer’s obsession they are unable to attack any other survivor until your hit, killed, or sacrificed. Their aura is available to you for 4/5/6 seconds if they are in your line of sight.

The Eerie Parallels Between COVID-19 and the Plague
One of the earliest things you talk about in this piece is the remarkable parallels between what happened back in the 1300s, a virus that started in Asia, that spread to Italy and other places that really parallels what we’re seeing today.
Parag Khanna: “Yes, that’s exactly right, it is truly uncanny. If you change one letter of the province where the plague broke out in Northwestern China, that was Hebei, and you change it to Hubei, that’s where Wuhan is the capital where the current virus broke out. They’re obviously in the same country, the plague spread westward along the Silk Road, it reached Iran and devastated more than half the population of Persia, which at the time was, so it’s called a connate, a protector of the territory of the Mongol empire. It reached Genoa, entered Italy in the year, I think 1341 through the port of Genoa.                 Parag Khanna: “You have of course today the main clusters of this being similarly China, Iran, Italy, and it’s not necessarily a coincidence, as I point out in the article. Iran and Italy are two of China’s major trade partners along the Belt and Road Initiative, which you mentioned at the outset. There are really these eerie parallels around how travelers and traders have enabled the spread of this virus. Given the long incubation period, it’s very difficult for us to know how many people are genuinely effected and obviously the weaknesses in these countries’ health systems that have been revealed. And by the way, it did spread from Italy back in the 14th century northward and decimated so much of the European population and of course so many Chinese people died as well.”
“This is really the core thesis of my Future is Asian book. I did not call the book The Future is Chinese, I called the book the Future is Asian for a good reason because China has never been number one in the world and it’s never been number one in all of Asia, because Asia, inherently, is so diverse. You have the Indian civilization, Japanese civilization, Russia is actually an Asian power, Persia, I mean Iran, Korea, Australia. India, the United States is still a major military presence, there are many balancing powers to contain China’s rise, so the notion that has taken hold over the last 20 years, that China is inevitably destined to be number one, and the prominent global power on the planet Earth was always a complete myth, it was always wrong. I think that this will just be one more nail in the coffin of that very bad and dangerous idea. It doesn’t mean that China isn’t powerful, I make very clear that China is a superpower. You know, 15 years ago I started saying China is definitively a global superpower. I was even writing about Chinese influence in Latin America and all across Africa, so there’s no question that China is a global power with a very significant influence worldwide. That does not mean that China will be number one in the world and it will not even be number one, necessarily, will not even dominate Asia.”
“I live in Singapore and you’ve probably seen that, whether it’s the Harvard study or many other, Goodwill Health Organization and experts like Laurie Garrett at the council on foreign relations, they’ve all said, “If the whole world had a public health system like Singapore’s, we would have a small fraction of the outbreaks.” This is the first country that became a poster outside of China because it’s not far from China, you have a huge amount of travel every single day, dozens of flights arriving from Chinese cities. This was the first country outside of China to reach a hundred cases of the virus and zero people have died, and I’m living here right now. I’m speaking to you while looking out the window at a very calm and peaceful landscape of palm trees and so forth.
Life continues as normal, not a single Singaporean person who’s died, and let’s bear in mind this is the fastest aging country in the world with the most lopsided aging demographics, just like Japan. This is a small version of Japan, so according to the demographic map of this virus, a hell of a lot of old Singaporeans should be dead right now, and instead the answer is zero. That’s just a fact, this is a place I’ve come to live the last few years and you have to admire the transparency of the system. They published on the front page of the newspaper every day what to do if you feel sick. They made a virus test absolutely free and open so that no one fears that they can’t afford it or that they wouldn’t be able to afford quarantine. Everything is completely free, they had videos made to air on television and everyone will know what to do if you don’t feel well and they encourage people to self quarantine, if you’ve been infected.
Just every possible sensible, commonsensical thing you would expect.
Just every possible sensible, commonsensical thing you would expect. If you and I as nonpublic health experts were to make a list of the 20 things you would want to do to contain a virus, they’ve done all 20 of those things. Again, they lived through SARS 15 years ago, so they learned the lessons, they embedded the best practices. Again, this is probably the only country that’s getting the credit now for having contained it, but it is a very small country. But it doesn’t mean that larger countries can’t do it.”

More than Just a Virus                                        March 16,2020
“Italy was the only G7 country to sign on to the Belt and Road initiative with Sister-City Agreements throughout Italy.  Some of those sister cities have been the hardest hit by corona.  Iran has also suffered with increased infections as government officials have been especially affected, as if they were specifically targeted.  Iran has had a comprehensive strategic partnership with China since 2016 and in defiance of US sanctions, Iran has continued to import embargoed products from China while selling its oil to China.
The question arises why, out of 175 countries in the world, that those two countries, in particular, have specifically experienced the strongest coronavirus presence than any other. It can be expected that the ‘coincidence’ has not escaped the notice of the Chinese, Iranian or Italian governments.”
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a recent video revealed massive corruption at the CDC and WHO with both in the vaccine business rather than as regulatory agencies conducting oversight on Big Pharma and protecting the public health.  Kennedy reported that with an $11 billion annual budget and a revolving door with industry, the CDC owns its own vaccine patents and collects millions in profits each year.   Identifying the WHO  as a ‘sock puppet’ for Big Pharma and Big Money, Kennedy said the WHO  is controlled top to bottom by the pharmaceutical industry which provides half of the WHO’s budget.
Dr. Judy Mikovits, PhD, molecular biologist and former researcher with the National Cancer Institute, blew the whistle on contaminated virus being used in human vaccines.  When she refused to renounce her study, she was fired and arrested  in 2011.  Here are her comments on the efficacy of the coronavirus as “part of the plague of corruption.”
Man Made or Mother Natural
While the origin of coronavirus is yet to be definitively nailed down, whether it might be a military bio-weapon, whether the virus leaked out of a lab through human error or whether, it was deliberately released into the public realm.  Two experienced scientists (including a former NSA counterterror analyst) are suggesting that the Covid-19 appears to be man made while their research paper, which has been withdrawn from internet circulation, concluded that
“In summary, somebody was entangled with the evolution of 2019-nCoV coronavirus. In addition to origins of natural recombination and intermediate host, the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.”
“With an estimated 250,000 Americans hospitalized with the flu/influenza since December,  how many of those were misdiagnosed?   How many sick people believe they have the coronavirus when they are only diagnosed with the flu?  With no testing in the US, how accurate are any of the statistics, globally or domestically, confirming the number of infections or deaths attributed to corona or the flu/influenza? “
“If we have learned anything since 1963, it is to question everything that Big Government, Big Media and Big Money tell us as there is always more than the ‘official’ story. With too many unknowns still to be answered, there is no doubt that a bio-critter of uncertain nefariousorigins, perhaps electro magnetic 5G oriented, is loose within Earth’s atmosphere.  
As we are all collectively, as One Universe, experiencing the potential of a coronavirus infection, we have been assured that the outbreak originated in a fish market in Wuhan, China’s eighth largest city with a population of 11 million.  That is the largely unchallenged conclusion since China is well known for its extensive network of high tech labs and since the SARS virus began in China last year.
At first glance, it seems a passing curiosity that the next two most extensively affected countries with corona infections, each disparate from China and each other, have extensive trade relations with China.  In defiance of science, why would Italy be the most infected country outside of China?
Italy was the only G7 country to sign on to the Belt and Road initiative with Sister-City Agreements throughout Italy.  Some of those sister cities have been the hardest hit by corona.  Iran has also suffered with increased infections as government officials have been especially affected, as if they were specifically targeted.  Iran has had a comprehensive strategic partnership with China since 2016 and in defiance of US sanctions, Iran has continued to import embargoed products from China while selling its oil to China.
The question arises why, out of 175 countries in the world, that those two countries, in particular, have specifically experienced the strongest coronavirus presence than any other. It can be expected that the ‘coincidence’ has not escaped the notice of the Chinese, Iranian or Italian governments.
With the complexity and uncertainty of the coronavirus. it would not be the first crisis where TPTB have misled a trusting public. It would, however, be wise to treat the virus with respect as a potent pathogen of consequence.  In case you had not noticed prior to the corona, there has been a titanic struggle for global dominance underway with the US, Israel, Russia and China as its sovereign representatives.  The most current manifestation of that struggle, through happenstance or not, being the coronavirus outbreak.
While there are references to the virus spreading considerably through increased exposure, getting worse before it gets better, it is another curiosity that there is no optimism as the US flu season  (December – February), peaks and  winds down in March.  So why the panic? If the coronavirus is a ‘normal’ virus, it should already be peaking just as it is in China and South Korea. If it is not a ‘normal’ virus, if it is mutated to reappear in the future or if it is man made or a bio-weapon, then we have a different problem. All of which begs the question which Federal agency is currently testing the virus to determine its origin, when will we know the results of that test and when will the virus peak?
China’s National Health Commissioner reports that the coronavirus has ‘peaked’ in Wuhan with only single digit new cases and no new cases in the Hubei province.  The World Health Organization (WHO) agrees with that assessment.  While South Korea closed its borders in early February, it also believes that the Covid-19 has peaked.  Russia closed its borders in January and has reported 28 cases with no fatalities.
Big Media is portraying the Covid-19 as if it is   here to stay in perpetuity rather than a flu that will run its natural course.  Before the virus peaks, TPTB must move quickly if it is intent on institutionalizing those initiatives to tighten control and censorship; to destabilize what remains as a ‘normal’ environment withmandatory medical martial law and mandatory vaccinations.   In other words, not unlike 911, any crisis can be used to create a new collectivization of society with a centralized global control as the new reality,
The Governor of California has suggested a  ban on public gatherings of 250 people with the CDC Director suggests a 50 person ban.  The real possibility is that, once adopted, the ban will never be lifted.  The NY Fed Bank moved quickly to approve a $1.5 Trillion in ‘short-term loan’ to the banks for ‘unusual’ disruption of services during the corona virus smells more like a backdoor bailout for Wall Street during the recent downtown
WHO and CDC and Mandatory Vaccines
An out-of-control pandemic encourages the public to rely on the  CDC or  WHO (World Health Organization) as  definitive ‘medical experts’’ on public health concerns. While both are thoroughly unscrupulous in their compromises to Big Pharma’s dominance, the CDC has no reliable test kits for coronavirus and is conducting no tests to determine the source of the virus.  True medical agencies would be encouraging the public to strengthen their immune system and natural antibodies with doses of Vitamin C to ward off a head cold or respiratory infection.
Coronavirus Outbreak, a Global Public Health Emergency?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a recent video revealed massive corruption at the CDC and WHO with both in the vaccine business rather than as regulatory agencies conducting oversight on Big Pharma and protecting the public health.  Kennedy reported that with an $11 billion annual budget and a revolving door with industry, the CDC owns its own vaccine patents and collects millions in profits each year.   Identifying the WHO  as a ‘sock puppet’ for Big Pharma and Big Money, Kennedy said the WHO  is controlled top to bottom by the pharmaceutical industry which provides half of the WHO’s budget.
Dr. Judy Mikovits, PhD, molecular biologist and former researcher with the National Cancer Institute, blew the whistle on contaminated virus being used in human vaccines.  When she refused to renounce her study, she was fired and arrested  in 2011.  Here are her comments on the efficacy of the coronavirus as “part of the plague of corruption.”
Regarded as the UN’s public health leader, the WHO director generalDr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said, “We have made the assessment that #COVID19 can be characterized as a pandemic” without providing convincing infection or death rate statistics,  More recently, Ghebreyesus  refused to consider when  the virus might peak with “this outbreak could still go in any direction” – whatever that means.
Man Made or Mother Natural
While the origin of coronavirus is yet to be definitively nailed down, whether it might be a military bio-weapon, whether the virus leaked out of a lab through human error or whether, it was deliberately released into the public realm.  Two experienced scientists (including a former NSA counterterror analyst) are suggesting that the Covid-19 appears to be man made while their research paper, which has been withdrawn from internet circulation, concluded that
“In summary, somebody was entangled with the evolution of 2019-nCoV coronavirus. In addition to origins of natural recombination and intermediate host, the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.”
in addition, the Biondt.org published a paper with the findings that the coronavirus was engineered with ‘key structural proteins” identifying “four inserts of amino acid sequences homologous to amino acid sequences in HIV 1.” This paper was also withdrawn with the publisher warning that its conclusions should not be regarded as ‘conclusive.’
The Gates Foundation, the WHO and the European Commission are benefactors of the Pirbright Institute which owns the  bio-safety lab-level 4 lab (BSL-4) in China which owns the coronavirus patent. The US patent application was filed in 2015 and granted in 2018. It is worth noting that the Fort Detrick bio weapons lab in Maryland with a history of violations, was shut down in August, 2019 due to ‘safety concerns related to a ”loss of pathogens.”
Event 201
In what might be considered another coincidence, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation partnered with the John Hopkins Center for Health Security and the World Economic Forum to conduct a five-hour simulated exercise specific to a coronavirus pandemic. The simulation was held in NYC on October 18thand was referred to as Event 201.   The event, which included American business, public health, government leaders and military officials, occurred  six weeks before the outbreak occurred in Wuhan although there are now unconfirmed reports of earlier exposures elsewhere.
In another coincidence, the 2019 Military World Games began in Wuhan on October 19th with 300 American military athletes in attendance.  It has been reported that five unnamed athletes were hospitalized during the game with an unidentified infection.
As if on a dry run, Event 201 addressed how the world should respond to an coronavirus outbreak – with a special focus on how to control ‘conspiracy’ news with  a Pandemic Emergency Board formed to manage the pandemic. The Chinese government was not invited to participate in the simulation.

So Alice hasn't quite mastered her wings in that tiny studio. (for reference, fully spread they take up pretty much the whole length of the orchestra room) She ends up breaking all sorts of things- instruments, projectors, inkwells... rarely she even breaks the Ink Machine....'s ink tank. Ink everywhere and Sammy's rage ensue. Oh boy. (Bonus: To escape, she flees to Bendy's room, knocking over more stuff and leading Sammy to her.) (Bonus 2: Bendy or Boris will rat her out every single time.)
I would imagine she’d feel like a caged bird at times around the studio.
Alice at one point loved her wings, big and beautiful, strong as well. One flap and she was in the skies easily. however since become into the human realm and being confined to the studios smaller walls her wings are less magnificent and more of a burden.
Alice just hates how big her wings are, the feeling of her breaking anything with them kind of just…makes her feel insecure to the point she doesn’t want to open them. for every broken instrument for every complaint of her wings, she shies away further and further to the point that bendy notices when they preform together. She neglects preening cause she doesn’t want to see her wings and it leads to them looking very ruffled, she’s always dropping feathers which leads to more complaints. She’s in her nest more and more often as time passes.
Sammy is the worst about calling her out. he’s a natural neat freak and with Alice’s constant knocking over and breaking of things, he is always among the people who complain the most about the angel. at the beginning, Bendy and even Boris when asked who broke something, their intermediate sights turned to Alice, who would pull her wings in a little tighter.
when she damages the ink machine is when she snaps. Her wings had a nasty habit of twitching from underuse and one of the times she was near the life giving machine is when her wing just unfurled right into the dang thing, injuring herself as well as the machine. but its lost among everyone who’s angry at her, ink spilling all over the floors and walls of the studio, filling up offices. even some of the toons aren’t happy and there is talk of everyone staying overnight with how bad it was and she just breaks down.
She’s crying inky tears, stuttering and stumbling over her apologizes, eventually just fleeing the room to a stunned group of people and toons, all of them filled with guilt.
Bendy and Boris go searching for her, and find her locked in the recording booth, wings drawn into her as tight as possible with feathers that weren’t preened hanging sadly off and around her. One of her wings is at a very crooked angle and the boys know that is more then likely broken. Bendy and Boris apologize for their behavior towards her, helping her talk her feelings out.
They eventually get her to joey, who fixes her wings and decides to shrink her wings for now. “No”, he replies when perhaps a trip outdoors is suggested, but her ends up giving Alice her own little space to allow for the mobility she needs. 
that’s how she ends up getting her full nest room. Complete with skylight upstairs…however the feeling of not being in the sky still would remain…
Yet it felt more like her wings had been clipped rather then fully taken care of.

Date of Birth: 12th April, 1987. Crime Record: Human laws broken. Not yet caught for murder, described in newspaper of Arizona as noted serial killer “James Kitt.” Alias discovered, face only described falsely.
Has your character attended Insolitus Academy in the past? No Background: 
Born “Oliver James Reed” and raised in a small town house in Peoria, Arizona within a small family, himself as an only child living with his mother and father. Having a generally sheltered upbringing and a solid education paid off of the back of his parents, when he reached higher education he was sent to live with his paternal grandfather while his parents worked full time to gain a wage and keep the house.
When Oliver turned 14 years old he was burdened with the secret that his grandfather was in fact a half demon, whom decided to confide in the boy and manipulate him into taking on tasks for him. Between the ages of 14 and 16, he was taught to hunt game varying from venison to wolves and turkey. The bond he held with his grandfather was strong, and when it came to his 18th birthday he was informed that he could hunt larger creatures for a fair bounty. 
So there he had been trained by his grandfather; to hunt werewolves, vampires, magically gifted humans and at times other creatures that were considered of the light. Whenever his grandfather brought a wanted poster forth with a bounty, he would take the offer and obtain the reward by providing pelts or corpses. 
Soon enough, he found himself taking an interest in music within his higher education and decided to take a 4 year bachelor degree in teaching music as part of his drift away from the hunting lifestyle. By the time his study had been complete and he was given his degree he decided it was time to change his name from Oliver James Reed to Charles Stein-Reed. 
When he decided to travel again, he was strapped for money and found himself in contact with his grandfather again, taking an alias as James Kitt the bounty hunter. In due time he had summed up enough to travel over to Europe, then to Australia, soon finding solace on the soil of South East Asia and hearing of a school throughout the rumour mill when he sought new bounties.
Regardless of his hunter upbringing, his tastes for supernatural blood were never needed more than his passion for music and teaching. So when he found himself as Professor Charlie Stein, teacher of Advanced Music at Insolitus Academy, there came no shame in being just that. 
Charlie knew that he could contact his grandfather at any given time if he required bounty money and a good hunt, however he had the one thing he wanted; a place to live, a place to teach music and if he really needed the cash he could hunt for bounties off of the school grounds.

Crypto Week In Review: Bitcoin ETF Talk Mounts, Nasdaq To Launch “Crypto 2.0” Futures
Crypto Week In Review: Bitcoin ETF Talk Mounts, Nasdaq To Launch “Crypto 2.0” Futures
The crypto market at large sustained its turbulent price action this week, with Bitcoin (BTC) jolting up and down between key levels of resistance and support. However, in spite of the dreary price action, this industry’s participants kept their pedal to the metal, announcing a series of developments that piqued the interest of investors worldwide. So, as recently put by Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano, Morgan Creek’s in-house cryptocurrency insider:
“Bear markets get rid of tourists so entrepreneurs can focus on building.”
SEC’s Clayton Isn’t Ready To Green Light A Crypto ETF
Since Bitcoin faltered in early-2018, investors in this nascent asset class have sought to find a light at the end of the tunnel. This light, as it turns out, is a U.S.-based, fully-regulated Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). But, as recently divulged by a commissioner from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the advent of a crypto-backed ETF might be nothing more than a quixotic dream, or at least for now.
Speaking at Consensus: Invest on Tuesday, SEC incumbent Jay Clayton, who assumed office in May 2017, exclaimed that he isn’t ready to greenlight a Bitcoin ETF. Backing his somewhat inflammatory statement with rationale, Clayton brought up the lack of market surveillance in crypto markets.
Blockchains may be predicated on a semblance of transparency, but in juxtaposition to this nature, the SEC decision-maker noted that there’s an evident lack of bonafide surveillance implementations on crypto platforms at large. Clayton then explained that investors expect that a commodity-backed fund is free from manipulation, alluding to his sentiment that Bitcoin is susceptible to questionable fluctuations on a group’s whim, or through actions executed by bad actors.
Along with his fears regarding proper surveillance measures, the lawyer by trade also noted that while strides have been taken towards impenetrable custody solutions, these services purportedly remain vulnerable to unauthorized access.
VanEck, SolidX’s Bitcoin ETF Team Meet With SEC 
Despite Clayton’s concerns regarding crypto-backed ETFs, the SEC recently released a memorandum that outlined a paramount closed-door meeting attended by representatives from VanEck, SolidX, and CBOE, the three firms behind the foremost Bitcoin ETF application.
This recent event, which is the second of its kind, saw VanEck outline its proposed vehicle through a 62-part slide deck, breaking down the ETF to its core. Aiming to calm the SEC’s qualms with the cryptocurrency market, including fears that it’s rife low-liquidity, the ETF hopefuls touted the fact that the value of Bitcoin is “tightly linked” on spot and futures markets, apparently evidence that cryptocurrency is a “well-functioning capital market.” VanEck representatives went on to draw attention to the “resilience of Bitcoin markets,” claiming that the fixed supply, distributed, and secure nature of Bitcoin would disallow manipulation.
VanEck went on to laud CBOE’s trading system, which the ETF would be based upon, for its speed, security, and ability to stay compliant with financial law, something that the SEC is likely seeking.
No comments from the SEC were issued on VanEck’s slide deck, but many investors are hopeful that the attendees of the forum were pleased with what was presented.
Nasdaq, VanEck To Launch “Crypto 2.0” Futures, Aims For Q1 2019 Launch
On Tuesday morning, the crypto industry at large was rattled, as insiders reportedly claimed that Nasdaq had plans to launch a Bitcoin futures contract. Although the rumor was somewhat cast aside, with some skeptics calling the news “baseless,” at Consensus: Invest, VanEck digital asset strategist Gabor Gurbacs did his best to clear the air. On-stage, in front of a crowd of hundreds, Gurbacs officially revealed that VanEck was, in fact, partnering with New York-based Nasdaq to “bring a regulated crypto 2.0 futures-type contract” to market.
However, like the Bloomberg report that originally broke the news, Gurbacs seemingly didn’t follow up the comment regarding the proposed product’s exact details.
So due to the apparent secrecy, many quickly resorted to speculation, with some questioning if Nasdaq’s instrument would make use of ‘physical’ Bitcoin in custody, unlike CBOE and CME’s futures, but like Bakkt’s vehicle slated to launch in late-January. Then again, it isn’t clear if Nasdaq has plans to implement such a complicated feature, but seeing that the exchange is relatively blockchain- and crypto-friendly, physical backing isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Bloomberg noted that Nasdaq is planning to launch the proposed instrument in Q1 2019, which lines up with the planned release of Bakkt, Fidelity Digital Asset Services, and ErisX. It is important to note that the launch day is dependent on a green light from the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
DJ Khaled, Floyd Mayweather Fined By SEC In ICO Case  
On Thursday morning, after a cloud of legal action loomed over for months, DJ Khaled and Floyd Mayweather, two of the world’s biggest stars, were revealed to have been name-dropped in a recent crypto-related SEC ruling. The case in question, which involved the two influencers, a crypto-backed debit card project Centra, and lesser-known projects, was publicly released on Thursday afternoon to the likely dismay of Mayweather, Khaled, and their legal counsel. As put by media outlet Gizmodo on Twitter, the “SEC has informed DJ Khaled that he has played himself.”
For those who aren’t in the loop, in 2017, amid the now-infamous crypto boom, Mayweather and Khaled began to foray into the cryptosphere, posting seeming promotional material for Centra’s ICO without disclosing that it was pay-to-play. This, of course, was an issue discussed by the SEC, who claimed that the two were in the wrong due to their failure to sufficiently disclose their business relationship with startup.
Per data gathered by the SEC, Mayweather was paid $100,000 for a series of Centra posts and $200,000 for other ICOs, while Khaled saw a $50,000 check fly his way from Centra alone.
The two players have now been mandated to pay hefty sums. Mayweather will give up $300,000 in disgorgement, another 300 grand as a penalty, and a tad extra for interest. Khaled, in comparison to Mayweather, got off scot-free, as the American music entrepreneur has been required to pay ‘only’ $100,000 in penalties and $50,000 in disgorgement. Both Mayweather and Khaled agreed to enter a timed blackout for advertising securities, at three and two years respectively.
Crypto Tidbits
Switzerland’s Amun Crypto ETP Launches: After originally announcing a multi-crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) in September, Amun launched the long-awaited vehicle on Switzerland’s SIX Exchange last week. Many lauded the product, denoted by the “HODL5” ticker, as the sole catalyst that could reverse crypto’s dismal performance in 2018. However, to the chagrin of optimists, HODL5 failed to make a splash on its debut, seeing a mere $400,000 of volume during its inaugural day trading. And in the days that followed, HODL5 didn’t perform much better, in fact, it saw falling volumes day-over-day, while its value collapsed. Although the instrument’s performance has undoubtedly been disheartening, many hold faith, as HODL5 may prove to be an intermediate stepping stone toward a Bitcoin-secured, U.S.-based ETF that will catalyze global adoption.
Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Burns $76M in Q3 2018: While Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, is unarguably one of the crypto industry’s foremost players, not even he has been safe in 2018’s chaotic market conditions. In Q3 alone, Galaxy Digital, a crypto-centric merchant bank, has reported a net loss of $76.6 million, with 55% of that figure stemming from losing positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. Interestingly, however, Galaxy still holds $90 million worth of crypto assets, indicating that it isn’t ready to throw in the towel.
Coinbase Secretly Launches OTC Desk After Months Of Rumors: Stowed far away from the prying eyes of the crypto public, Coinbase recently launched an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk for its institutional clients. Although this wasn’t initially divulged to the industry at large, earlier this week, Christine Sandler, head of coverage at Coinbase, took to fintech media outlet Cheddar to speak on its new offering. Sandler noted that Coinbase recently launched an OTC system behind closed doors to complement its traditional exchange business. She noted that while the launch of Coinbase’s new platform was opportunistic, the startup has been seeing bonafide interest from bigwig players.
Ethereum Co-founder Vitalik Not Sold On Corporate Blockchain: Speaking with Quartz at Devcon4, Vitalik Buterin, a world-renowned co-founder of the Ethereum Project, claimed that he isn’t 100% sold on the idea of corporate-backed blockchain projects, such as those headed by IBM. The Russian-Canadian coder explained that while blockchain technologies have ground-breaking potential in countless systems, many projects today are the byproduct of 2017’s influx of hype, rather than a penchant for true innovation. Still, Buterin maintained his opinion that decentralized ledgers’ killer use case is in payment ecosystems, simply stating that “cryptocurrencies are making international payments easier.”
Coinbase Pro Launches ZCash (ZEC) Trading: On Thursday, Coinbase Pro divulged that it would be listing ZEC, the native digital asset of the privacy-centric ZCash ecosystem. This recent listing comes just weeks after San Francisco-based Coinbase added 0x (ZRX), Basic Attention Token (BAT), and USD Coin (USDC). Users of Coinbase Pro from U.S. (New York State excluded), E.U., United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, and Australia will now be able to deposit, withdraw, and trade ZEC. More supported jurisdictions may be added at a later date, pending regulatory approval in other locations.

Crypto Week In Review: Bitcoin ETF Talk Mounts, Nasdaq To Launch “Crypto 2.0” Futures
Crypto Week In Review: Bitcoin ETF Talk Mounts, Nasdaq To Launch “Crypto 2.0” Futures
The crypto market at large sustained its turbulent price action this week, with Bitcoin (BTC) jolting up and down between key levels of resistance and support. However, in spite of the dreary price action, this industry’s participants kept their pedal to the metal, announcing a series of developments that piqued the interest of investors worldwide. So, as recently put by Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano, Morgan Creek’s in-house cryptocurrency insider:
“Bear markets get rid of tourists so entrepreneurs can focus on building.”
SEC’s Clayton Isn’t Ready To Green Light A Crypto ETF
Since Bitcoin faltered in early-2018, investors in this nascent asset class have sought to find a light at the end of the tunnel. This light, as it turns out, is a U.S.-based, fully-regulated Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). But, as recently divulged by a commissioner from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the advent of a crypto-backed ETF might be nothing more than a quixotic dream, or at least for now.
Speaking at Consensus: Invest on Tuesday, SEC incumbent Jay Clayton, who assumed office in May 2017, exclaimed that he isn’t ready to greenlight a Bitcoin ETF. Backing his somewhat inflammatory statement with rationale, Clayton brought up the lack of market surveillance in crypto markets.
Blockchains may be predicated on a semblance of transparency, but in juxtaposition to this nature, the SEC decision-maker noted that there’s an evident lack of bonafide surveillance implementations on crypto platforms at large. Clayton then explained that investors expect that a commodity-backed fund is free from manipulation, alluding to his sentiment that Bitcoin is susceptible to questionable fluctuations on a group’s whim, or through actions executed by bad actors.
Along with his fears regarding proper surveillance measures, the lawyer by trade also noted that while strides have been taken towards impenetrable custody solutions, these services purportedly remain vulnerable to unauthorized access.
VanEck, SolidX’s Bitcoin ETF Team Meet With SEC 
Despite Clayton’s concerns regarding crypto-backed ETFs, the SEC recently released a memorandum that outlined a paramount closed-door meeting attended by representatives from VanEck, SolidX, and CBOE, the three firms behind the foremost Bitcoin ETF application.
This recent event, which is the second of its kind, saw VanEck outline its proposed vehicle through a 62-part slide deck, breaking down the ETF to its core. Aiming to calm the SEC’s qualms with the cryptocurrency market, including fears that it’s rife low-liquidity, the ETF hopefuls touted the fact that the value of Bitcoin is “tightly linked” on spot and futures markets, apparently evidence that cryptocurrency is a “well-functioning capital market.” VanEck representatives went on to draw attention to the “resilience of Bitcoin markets,” claiming that the fixed supply, distributed, and secure nature of Bitcoin would disallow manipulation.
VanEck went on to laud CBOE’s trading system, which the ETF would be based upon, for its speed, security, and ability to stay compliant with financial law, something that the SEC is likely seeking.
No comments from the SEC were issued on VanEck’s slide deck, but many investors are hopeful that the attendees of the forum were pleased with what was presented.

The Spirit In The Intermediate World.Part2
The intermediate world is the realm where the spirit feels the "breath" of the bliss of Paradise or the punishment of Hell. If we led a virtuous life in the world, our good deeds (e.g., prayers, recitations, acts of charity) will appear as amiable fellows. Also, windows onto heavenly scenes will be opened for us and, as stated in a hadith, our grave will become like a garden of Paradise. However, if some of our sins still remain unpardoned, regardless of how virtuous we were, we may suffer some punishment in the intermediate world until we become deserving of Paradise. Unbelievers who indulged in sin will be met by their deeds, which will assume the forms of bad fellows and vermin. They will see scenes of Hell, and their graves will become like a pit of Hell. When we are alive, our spirit suffers pain and feels joy and happiness. Although it feels pain apparently through the nervous system and uses this extremely complicated system to communicate with all bodily parts, scientists still do not understand how it interacts with the body, especially with the brain. Any bodily failure that causes death can make the nervous system stop operating. However, it has been established scientifically that certain brain cells survive for a while after death. Scientists try to receive signals from such cells . If they succeed in doing so and can decipher those signals, it will be useful, especially in criminology, in solving unsolved crimes. For example, the Qur'an tell us how, during the time of Prophet Moses, upon him be peace, God revived a dead person, who identified his killer: When Moses said to his people: "God commands you to sacrifice a cow" ... they sacrificed her, a thing they had scarcely done. And when you killed a living soul, and disputed thereon—God disclosed what you were hiding—so We said: "Smite him with part of it"; even so He brings to life the dead, and He shows you His signs, that haply you may have understanding. (2:67, 71–73) As the spirit suffers pain and feels happy, and as it continues its relation with the body (via those essential bodily particles that do not rot) in the intermediate world, it is meaningless to discuss whether the spirit, the body, or both will enjoy Paradise or suffer Hell. Since the spirit lives the worldly life together with the body and shares all its joys and sorrows, God will resurrect people both bodily and spiritually. The Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama'a agree that the spirit and the body will go either to Paradise or Hell together. God will build bodies in forms unique to the Hereafter, where everything will be alive: This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter, that is life if they but knew (29:64). Spirits in the intermediate world will see and hear us, provided God allows this. If He does, He may permit some saintly people to see, and hear, and communicate with us. Our account is not closed after we die. If we leave behind good, virtuous children, books or institutions from which people continue to benefit, or if we have raised or contributed to raising those who benefit others, our reward increases. If we leave evil behind, our sins increase as long as our evil harms others. Therefore, if we want to help our beloved ones who have died, we should do good deeds. If we help the poor, take part in Islamic services, lead a good and virtuous life, and especially spend to promote Islam and the good of Muslims and humanity at large, we will cause their reward to increase.

The Unrequited
Introducing: “The Unrequited” A fan made killer for DBD
Name: Arlo Hayes
DLC: Victims of Affection
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Difficulty: Intermediate
Height: Tall
Ethnicity: Australian
Realm: Wood Creek High School (may describe this later if people really want it)
Weapon: Whittled Stake
Speed: 115%
Terror Radius: 32 meters
Lore: Arlo Hayes was born in Sydney, Australia, while his life may not have been considered lavish, or pampered, his family had a stable income. His older sister Josephine detested Arlo, she despised not being an only child anymore, constantly taunting him in his crib, and stealing his toys when he was a toddler, there was nothing she wouldn’t do to make him upset. When Arlo entered primary school, he had difficulty making friends, shy and reserved, he never made an attempt to approach any of the other kids. The torment he suffered from his sister made him become isolated in school, while a few students tried to get close, Arlo wasn’t much for conversing with them. Soon after a few years, when Arlo was finally opening up to the other students, his father got a job transfer and his entire family was moving to America. When he moved to America, he felt alone again, and his performance in school reflected his lack of desire to learn. His sister constantly teased him and when his parents tried to pry anything out of him, he refused to speak up, leading to his parents becoming upset and reprimanding him for being irresponsible.
After being held back a year, Arlo finally made his way to middle school, it was there he came in contact with one student in particular. When being assigned to a seating chart in one of his classes, Arlo found himself placed next to Isaac and being polite, Isaac gave him a friendly smile. Immediately, Arlo felt something different next to him, a longing sensation, a sense of sympathy he hasn’t felt in a long time, he knew he needed to be with this new kid... Isaac Jones, as the teacher addressed him. Arlo could already feel himself gushing, and tried to stay still until he could talk to him openly. Arlo quickly grew attached to Isaac, managing to befriend him, hang out with him, and the two got to know each other a little better day by day. It grew difficult trying to hide his emotions near Isaac, but finally, when the two reached high school, Arlo figured it was time to confess his feelings and tell Isaac just how much he mattered to him. Unfortunately, the feelings weren’t mutual, Isaac only saw him as a close friend, the confession was unreciprocated.
Arlo’s psyche was ruined at this rejection, everything that mattered to him contained within Isaac’s being, and now he couldn’t have it, not in a way that truly mattered to him anyway. Hurt, shocked and confused, Arlo didn’t show up to class for several days. He took a hobby of whittling in order to try to take his mind off of everything he’s dealt with. His sister, a senior at that time found out about his rejection, and in a moment of uncharacteristic empathy, she told him that there’s more fish in the sea, there’ll be another person for him, but he knew better, he knew that Isaac is the one and only person for him. 
He couldn’t take it anymore, the feeling of rejection was consuming him and Arlo reached for desperate measures. First, he started small, feigning compliance and pretending to accept Isaac’s rejection into being only friends, but when Arlo was getting touching, and displaying lascivious behavior,  Isaac grew uncomfortable and knew Arlo wasn’t truly over it, and for Arlo’s sake, he knew he needed to cut ties with him so he could get over it, for he knew he couldn’t ever return his affection anywhere near the amount he had for him. Enraged, Arlo stormed out, but as he was leaving, something caught his eye, and he took it into his possession without Isaac’s knowing.
When he returned home that day, Arlo unraveled the prize he hid within his backpack, being greeted by a sloppy kiss and a wet nose, he has stolen Isaac’s dog, Roxxy. His emotions got the better of him, why should such a lesser being be given the affection he deserves? Why should something not even human be treated better than him for their entire life? He couldn’t stand it anymore, taking out his whittling knife, he butchered the small dog in his backyard, putting all the pieces back into a bag within his backpack and within the veil of the night, Arlo trekked back to Isaac’s house. Carefully he placed the bloody sack of loose parts and thrusted his knife back into it one last time for good measure, Grabbing a large rock, he hurled it at a window, running away in the process, waiting to see Isaac’s pain, the pain he felt when he was rejected, it’s what he deserves.
The police were called, and Arlo’s fingerprints were on the weapon used for slaughter, it didn’t take long before he was incarcerated, sentenced to 10 years in prison. Arlo bided his time, counting the seconds until he could see isaac again, waiting, each passing day was another closer to his obsession. His parents rarely visited him, embarrassed at the outcome of their child, Josephine would visit monthly, but none of this mattered to him, all that he cared about was seeing Isaac again.
Time flew, Arlo was finally released from his sentence. Josephine took Arlo under her wing until he got back onto his feet, giving him phone books to search for jobs. Weeks of searching through phone books, Arlo finally found Isaac Jones, the one he was looking for all this time. It was not too far from where his sister lived, Arlo stole her car, speeding his way to Isaac’s address, armed with only a stake and fueled by raw emotion, he knew he would be with Isaac forever once and for all. Barging through the door in broad daylight, Arlo reveled in Isaac’s shocked expression when he drove his stake into his arm as he tackled him to the ground. Straddled on his victim, Arlo admired his screams of agony as the blood pooled out from below him. Finally, the two of them would be together forever he thought to himself as he drew the stake into his chest, there would be nobody separating them now.
The world around the two blackened and grew dark, eerie spider-like tendrils emerged from the ground, slowly cradling the two of them in its embrace, for they will soon have a new purpose together forever.
The Unrequited is a tall, well-built man, a bit on the lanky side. He has blond hair and wears a white bandana covering everything from his nose and below, the only thing you can clearly see of his face is his piercing green eyes. Clad in a white hoodie with the hood down, and jeans. His hoodie is torn over his heart, revealing a gash with blood dripping out on occasion. He wields a wooden stake whittled by himself. He will thrust the stake forward when attacking survivors. On a successful attack, he will pull his bandana up and lick the blood off the stake.
The Unrequited’s Power: Licentious Embrace
Using the alternate action key will cause the Unrequited to attempt to grab the nearest survivor in front of him within melee distance.
A skill check zone will appear once you grab a survivor.
Great skill checks immediately catch the survivor
Good skill checks allow the survivor a small skill check in an attempt to escape your grasp, but the survivor will take a stage of damage.
Failed skill checks from you give the survivor a large skill check in an attempt to escape from your grasp unharmed.
You are immobilized while you have a survivor in your embrace
The area of effect is 4 meters with a 25 degree cone in front of him. The Unrequited will have a .75 seconds windup animation then leap forward at 135% speed for 1 second with low movement control. Missing a survivor causes a backlash animation for 1.5 seconds, during which you have free camera control, but move at 25% speed. The skill check for you is as big as the ds skill check (reworked ds) 20% of which is a great skill check zone. Survivor skill check is 10% bigger than the overcharge 3 skill check. Failed skill check is 10% smaller than a standard skill check. While The Unrequited has a survivor in his embrace, he will wrap his arms around the survivor’s midriff as the survivor kicks around and grabs at his arms. During this time, The Unrequited can be interrupted by pallets, but not blinds. Successful embraces against the survivor will cause him to hoist the survivor on his shoulder (takes 1.5 seconds). The Unrequited will shank the survivor with his stake if they escape from his good skill check, you will do your weapon hit animation. If the survivor escapes during your power you will be stunned for 3 seconds (Affected by all stun-related perks).
Mori (Killer PoV) - (First person camera) You kneel above the dying survivor, wrapping your arms around their back, gently pulling them closer to you. Suddenly you throw them against the ground, grabbing them by the head and bashing them against the ground again and again until a loud cracking sound is heard and they fall silent. You stroke the top of their head for a brief moment then you stand back up.
Mori (Survivor PoV) - (Worms Eye View) The Unrequited will kneel above the dying survivor, his eyes staring at them intently as he wraps both arms behind the survivor’s back, gently pulling you closer to him. Suddenly he throws the survivor back on the ground, he grabs the survivor by the head as he bashes them against the earth several times as they scream until a loud cracking sound is heard and they fall silent. The Unrequited’s hand strokes the top of your head then you die.
His personal perks, Stay With Me, Controlling and Heartthrob allow him to gain special bonuses depending on the state of your obsession and help catch up to survivors who have escaped you.
Stay With Me- Whenever a survivor attempts to use an exhaust perk while in a chase, delay it for 3 / 4 / 5 seconds. (The perk hud will show a countdown, Survivors attempting to use an exhaust perk will be alerted of the debuff immediately.)
“Don’t leave me, come back… please…”
Unique to The Unrequited until Level 30, at which point its Teachable version can then be learned and taught to the other Killers
Controlling - You become obsessed with one survivor. While your obsession is hooked, If you are at least 32 meters away from your hooked obsession, gain a 6 / 8 / 10% haste bonus, the bonus is retained for 9 / 12 / 15 seconds after they have been unhooked and you are at least 32 meters away.
The Killer can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.
“I’m only doing this because I… I like you…”
Unique to The Unrequited until Level 35, at which point its Teachable version can then be learned and taught to the other Killers
Heartthrob - You become obsessed with one survivor. The thought of hurting or being hurt by your obsession rocks your very being. Being stunned by your obession triggers killer instinct on all other survivors within 40 meters for 6 / 8 / 10 seconds and causes them to suffer from the exposed status effect for 30 / 35 / 40 seconds.
Hitting your obsession disables this perk for 15 seconds

Introducing: Isaac Jones
"I saw a young man working on a generator, he looked at me with an expression one only shows when completely exhausted of all emotion. I immediately knew he has dealt with this before and just wants to be left alone, but at the same time... I felt drawn to him..."
DLC: Victims of Affection
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Role:  Level headed Adversary
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Difficulty:  Intermediate
Isaac Jones is a normal student at school, but there’s always something about him that draws attention, perhaps it’s his soft, gentle features, or his calm demeanor, he has an easy time making friends in school. Being an only child would leave Isaac lonely sometimes, but the people around him were always there to accompany him.
It wasn’t until he reached middle school that the first day in class he met a new kid, Arlo Hayes. There was something about the way Arlo looked at him, he could sense that he’s been through a lot, and being polite, he gave him a welcoming smile. The two of them shared many similar interests, it was strange, Arlo liked everything he did exactly, but shrugging it off as coincidence, he hung out with him a lot. Whenever a group project was assigned, Arlo would immediately pair himself with him, and figuring it could be worse, Isaac wouldn’t reject him. Arlo was very clingy, he basically lived with Isaac in his own home, it was a struggle to get him to leave sometimes, but he didn’t seem to have ill intentions, just really wanted to be with his friend. Isaac felt smothered all the time, Arlo would never give him an opportunity to breathe, for he was always there, even when Isaac wanted to be alone.
High school finally came around, and Arlo met up with him days before class started, it wasn’t unusual, but something was different this time, Isaac had a hunch, and a feeling of dread overwhelmed him. It was as he feared, Arlo confessed his feelings to him, and as much as Isaac wanted to return the favor, he knew he couldn’t, he knew he couldn’t love him back the way he does. Isaac would do his best to let him down gently, he didn’t want to lose a friend, not one so enthusiastic and energetic, but Arlo didn’t take it lightly, simply leaving without a word.
The next few days were calm, Arlo was nowhere to be seen, this worried Isaac, but he figured he was avoiding him to get over the rejection. It wasn’t until a few days later Arlo showed back up at his doorstep, apologizing for his overreaction and stating that he just wanted to be friends again. Isaac felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders, knowing that he could be close friends again without worrying about hurting him again. The relief was short-lived, as Isaac quickly found out when Arlo would get too close to him, and making obscene gestures. Isaac felt betrayed, he knew he couldn’t keep this up anymore, it was unhealthy for both of them. Rejecting him one last time, Arlo backed off, leaving without a word once more.
It wasn’t until the middle of the night when a loud shattering was heard awakening his entire family. His mother ran out to the front yard, tripping over a bloody sack on the front door. to her horror, it was their dog, Roxxy, that went missing that day. A knife was inside with a note inside, “LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU IGNORE ME!” it said written in Roxxy’s blood. It was obvious who did this, and Isaac called the police.
Several years passed, Arlo was in prison and Isaac was beginning to start a family with his spouse. Without warning, the front door to his house was busted open, crashing to the floor, Arlo charged in. “CHEATER! YOU’RE CHEATING ON ME!” he’d shout, screaming more nonsense on how the two were meant to be together, Arlo thrusted the wooden stake into Isaac’s arm. He screamed in pain, and confusion, realizing who his aggressor was, Isaac squirmed, but it was no use, Arlo has him pinned to the ground beneath him. Without hesitation, Arlo shanked himself in the chest as Isaac bled out on the ground.
The world around the two blackened and grew dark, eerie spider-like tendrils emerged from the ground, slowly cradling the two of them in its embrace, for they will soon have a new purpose together forever.

Dead By Daylight Fan-made DLC: Royal Blood
Introducing: “The Usurper” A Fan Made Killer for DBD
Name: Lyra Tenebris
Age: 40
Difficulty: Hard
Ethnicity: Romanian
Realm: Romanesque Castle, Romania
Weapon: Bladed Scepter
Speed: 100%
Terror Radius: 32 meters
Lore: Lyra Tenebris was the true heir to the dukedom, or so she believed. Her mother worked as a maid for Duke Marius Romanesque. She wasn’t very good at her job and had a sense of entitlement which she passed on to her daughter. The Duke’s alleged Bastard. She was a social climber who had a pregnancy out of wedlock and decided to claim the duke as the father, hoping that he would leave his wife for her or at least become a mistress. She could remove the wife later. Sadly it was not to be and she was still stuck as a maid albeit on a very tight leash. When her daughter was born she decided that she would help her rise to power telling young Lyra that her father was the Duke and as such she was royalty and that they were in hiding as staff to protect them for those who would harm them. Lyra beloved every word her mother had said and tried to learn to become royalty. After all she was the only heir. Until IT came. Sophia Romanesque. The Duke’s other daughter and claimed rightful heir. Lyra was angry. She was older she should have been the heir. Nope. She was stuck as the brat’s maid. She asked her mother for an ideas and was advised to be their friend. That way she would learn all the things the child would be taught and look for ways to arrange accidents without suspicion.
So Lyra took the task to heart, learning all she could and trying to off her competition. She was unable to kill her but due to her diligence in watching the heiress she began to gain some popularity among the court. Seeing that she was getting supporters she began to spread that she was the duke’s bastard and should be the rightful heir. She also informed others not to tell the girl as she didn’t need the stress. For a time her plan worked. She spread doubt among the court and gathered some supporters as well as some money. It’s not a crime, it’s rightfully hers. However the duke still refused to acknowledge their relation. So she decided to gain her birth certificate to show him. They can’t deny it then. What she saw them she was shocked.
She wasn’t related to him at all. Her life was a lie. She couldn’t believe it. The documents had to be faked. She is the rightful heir and she will not be stopped. That’s when she found a mysterious card was addressed to her. It said she could be the ruler with their help she just had to meet them. She agreed and  met with them. They said that they were a group that protects the royal family and because she was a “part” of the royal family they would give her the throne. They just needed a few concessions for their work. She agreed and together they started a coup, murdering everyone in the castle except there supporters and the princess who had managed to escape. No matter she will be taken care of soon enough. She has a kingdom to rule.
She was a Tyrant hated by the people but too feared to be taken out. She published books that showed her as a lovely Duchess and executed anyone who said anywise. The people lost their livelihoods to her tributes and spending. All hope was lost until the rebels appeared. Claiming to have the Rightful Princess Sophia inspired hope to fight against the Tyrant Tenebris. She would not have it. She sent out her agents to destroy the rebels and capture Sophia. The public would no longer defy here when their precious little princess is hung from the gallows. However it was not as easy as it should be. Captured rebels would die before giving up important information and the population was begin to revolt. She was the Duchess they should not be defying her. It’s all Sophia’s fault. If she would just come out of hiding and die like she was supposed to then this wouldn’t be happening. She just needed to find her. While she was fuming to herself in her castle a strange being appeared planting visions of hooks into her mind. Hooks she could hang Sophia from and any others who defied her. The strange being beckoned her forward with each step implanting more vision and power into Lyra who eagerly accepted. Long Live the Entity. Long Live Duchess Lyra Tenebris.
Lyra Tenebris is medium height with pale skin and a dancer’s build. She has dark green eyes and long black hair in an elegant low bun. She has dark red lipstick on and a light pink blush. She wears a red Tudor dress with mysterious dark splotches and black heals hidden under her dress. She wears a garish gold crown with an emerald necklace around her neck and carries a bloody bladed gold scepter in her hand.

Introducing: Sophia Romanesque  
DLC: Royal Blood
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Role: Rightful Heir
Ethnicity: Romanian
Difficulty: Intermediate
Sophia Romanesque never imagined her life would turn out like this. Hiding in the shadows of the kingdom she was supposed to rule, helping the resistance against her alleged half-sister and keeping out of sight in order to live to see another day. When she was young she wanted for nothing but always put others first like it had been ingrained in her since childhood. That’s probably why she kept around her former personal servant who constantly tried to kill her. She knew she shouldn’t but she was always told to help others even at her own expense so she was nice and kind to her. No longer. Her loyalty is to the rebellion and all those who would see the usurper overthrown, and today should be the day. She wandered around the empty corridors she had used to traverse, headed toward the throne room and where her target lied but the corridors seemed to twist and turn with every step she took, but she would not let this deter her. Too many people counted on her killing the usurper for her to give up due to some vertigo and flashing lights. She kept traveling even as the corridors seemed to end and trees began to emerge. She saw a campfire in the distance and kept going. Maybe whoever is there can help her.
Sophia’s perks, Keep to the Shadows, Nobility, and For My people help her escape the wrath of the false ruler.

“A noble must always act noble, remember that Sophia.”
Unique to Sophia Romanesque until Level 35, at which point its Teachable version can then be learned and taught to the other Survivors
For My People - If it means they’ll live i don’t care if I don’t. If you are near a survivor and struck by the killer you become the killers obsession. Once the killer’s obsession your speed and healing is increased by 10%.
“My People need me and I shall not fail them.”
