#killer idea

I was bored and thought about killers in DBD. I wonder what it would be like if we had a banshee in the game. Where the more you scream, the more powerful she gets. I think banshees are made by a woman being murdered or dying during childbirth? Idk, but crying and screaming would be her power and it’d do something to survivors. Imagine hearing weeping getting closer and closer before a loud af scream right behind you. I think we should have another floating killer other than Nurse >.>’ its spooky.

I was so happy to see good feedback on my banshee idea. So I doodled more of her! \^-^/

I wanted half of her to seem rotted away because I’m working on her backstory (it makes her Irish as well), where half of her corpse laid in a small stream of water for a while and of course rotted away faster because of it. I wanted to elaborate on her broken legs to add to her story, which is why she floats. I gave her a hand hoe as a weapon (any twisted gardening tool could be used for cosmetics), which also relates to her backstory. I also thought of her power, which would consist of 2 abilities. 1 is passive, the other is active.

The passive ability works a bit like Doctor’s madness. The longer youre inside her terror radius, the louder YOU will cry with her and she can hear you. Its called Anguish. She isn’t given a notification when you cry, but she *can* hear you if she is paying attention.

The active ability is that she is able to cloak herself entirely like a ghost and become invisible for a short period. No terror radius or red stain, but you can still hear her crying from all directions and you cannot tell where exactly she is. When she uncloaks, she charges up a ghostly wail that injures multiple survivors in front of her at once (it makes her slow in the process). The wail is also capable of busting any generators as well and can travel over pallets and small bushes.

So say for example, you and your friend are working on a generator, then suddenly you start to hear crying. You cannot tell where she is. You hear a raspy inhale of lungs, then a bright white light in front of you both before a loud scream rings your ears and you and your friend are abruptly injured while your generator explodes at the same time. You run to a pallet and throw it down and start to loop and she cloaks once again. You try to mind game her and go from one side to the other to avoid getting hit by her hand hoe. Shes on the other side and you think you’re safe - before she screams again and downs you on the other side.

There was a random tought about a potential survivor (Danny Torrance), but here one for a killer:
