Dead By Daylight: Character Concepts

Pennywise

Pennywise

"The Dreadlight"

Overview

Pennywise is a supernatural alien creature who landed on Earth roughly in the 16th century. It eventually realized there was no natural food source there, instead of whatever it was given to eat in the other world it came from. Due to this, it began to prey on human children every 27 years or so, malforming itself into their worst fears as it supposedly "salts the meat" and makes them taste far better.

Lore

Outside of Derry, far beyond the Realm of the Entity exists more than just horrors in the dark. The horrors that live in the nothing of everything are what any reasonable mind would be afraid of.

A dark deal was made between the Entity and this creature only known as Pennywise to many of its victims. While Pennywise had to marinate its prey, causing it to suffocate with its own fear, in the realm of the Entity nearly every human had already suffered extraordinary fear, perfect for a quick bite. However, it was missing a personal touch.

Pennywise would help satiate the Entity, so long as it had access to the near-infinite source of delicious fear. It didn't need to expose itself to its natural vulnerabilities either, much like a hand reaching into a pond. Only the fingers would appear, but to the small fish in the water, the finger was a monstrous creature in the guise of a dancing clown.

It didn't take long for them to identify that a balloon was enough to cause them to tremble in terror. While terrorized, panicked, and fearful, they tasted even better.

And so, Pennywise began to salivate, arriving from a long slumber to get Its fill.

Power

Dreadlights

All Survivors start the trial with an empty Feat Meter. The meter can increase up to a maximum of 100 points, at which the Survivor becomes panicked. Panicked causes you to periodically experience visual & auditory hallucinations of The Dreadlights while not in a chase. With each Survivor afflicted by panicked, The Dreadlights' power grows.

1 Survivor: Gain 5% Haste.

2 Survivors: Your red balloon skill-checks become tremendously difficult to complete.

3 Survivors: Your heartbeat is reduced to 8 meters.

4 Survivors: You unlock the full power of The Dreadlights. You can use M2 to unhinge your jaw and reveal the white lights within. A Survivor who spends more than 3 seconds looking in your direction becomes tremendously mesmerized and slowly walks toward you in a stupor of 3 seconds.

Has a Duration of 20 seconds and a Cooldown of 15 seconds.

Using the secondary action button, you can place red balloons at Generators, Lockers, and Chests. Whenever a Survivor interacts with items marked by a red balloon, they must succeed on a moderately difficult skill-check or the balloon will burst in a shower of blood and increase the Survivor's fear by 20. The balloon popping sound causes a clown-horn that can be heard up to 33 meters away.

Perks

You'll Float Too

"We all float down here."

After hooking a Survivor, gain a 3% haste for 4 seconds. After a Survivor is sacrificed or killed in any way, gain Bloodlust 3 (6% haste) and a 8% speed increase to break and vault actions for 7/14/21 seconds.

Drowning in Fear

"For 27 years, I dreamt of you. I craved you."

When an exit gate is opened, the entity will instantly close it and will block both exit switches for 20 seconds. The aura of the survivor that opened the gate is revealed to you for 4/5/6 seconds. The endgame collapse timer starts after this perk activates. Drowning in Fear is deactivated after closing the hatch. The survivors have to open the gate again.

Scourge Hook: Fearful Feast

"Tasty, tasty, beautiful fear."

At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks. The auras of all Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white.

Hitting a Survivor on a Scourge Hook with your Basic Attack reveals the aura of the closest Unhooked Survivor for 3/4/5 seconds.
