PERKS:❝ DESPERATE MEASURES. Years on the run have taught you to be resourceful to ensure your survival, When interacting with a locker, the survivor is given the opportunity to Trap it.Choosing to trap the locker will create a visible Tripwire in a 180 degree angle away from the locker which must be attached to nearby environmental objects and will render the lockers visibly open to both Killers and Survivors.A total of 3 Tripwire traps can be placed at any single time during the match and will remain inert after being placed until they are activated.Tripwire Traps will be activated when a Killer passes directly through the Tripwire. When this occurs the Tripwire Trap will break, causing the locker to close and creating a sound and brief visual notification for all survivors of the triggered trap.The Killer that triggered the trap will experience a Hindered Effect of 5 / 10 / 15% for 10 seconds. And forcing Killers with the Undetectable Status to be revealed for 2 / 4 / 6 secondsKillers can disable and dismantle Tripwire Traps left by survivors by interacting with the locker it was placed on. Survivors can likewise dismantle Tripwire Trap they have placed and reset them in a different location.Other Survivors cannot set off or interact with Tripwire Traps laid by other Survivors❝ TUNNEL VISION When in the heat of conflict, your mind is honed to focus on one thing: survival. While in the killer terror radius you gain 7% haste to healing, searching & hiding objectives at the cost of suffering from decreased generator repair / door opening speeds of 8 / 6 / 4%Tunnel Vision also grants the aura of palettes, windows & interactables / player traps to be outlined within a radius of 14/18/24 metres from the Player❝ FLIGHT You've always known to cut your losses and take flight. When the Survivor is afflicted by the Exposed status effect or enters a chase with the Killer.Flight grants a 5 / 6 / 7% Haste effect for all movement & interaction speeds for a duration of 4 / 6 / 10 seconds during a chase, at the cost of any wounds gained during this chase triggering the Deep Wound status & respective timer, if not automatically downing the survivorFlight also grants the post-hit speed boost to be extended by 2 secondsPositive effects of Flight withstanding the Deep Wound status effect, will conclude after the duration of the Exposure and Chase has concluded (if it has not already)"By the time they notice, I'm already long gone," - Doe

❝ DEATH IS NO ESCAPE | DEAD BY DAYLIGHT.
I. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP VI | AGE 20 | STATUS: ALIVE (KIND OF) | BASED AFTER ENTERING FOGIt's all a rolling kaleidoscope of blurry memories, half redacted from her mind and muddled with confusion. She was running, her body remembered that as much, sprinting for her life. The fog, branches and leaves pulling her back with each fought step the headlights, noise, silence then nothing. Fear collects in the back of her throat, like rising bile. Her surroundings, some woods she can't place, are chilly and barren, but the fog feels familiar, as does the feeling of eyes and that cry in the back of her mind. Run.Doe is one of the many souls misfortunate enough to find themselves taken into the endless game of cat and mouse. She is muddled and confused, having been snatched away from the mortal plane at the moment of her death after the confrontation between her and the man that had been following her. She is, understandably, fearful and remains in a resting state of flight. Knowing her life is in danger but not by who, why, for what reason, etc. She shuns the comfort and comradery of the campfire, instead choosing to venture deeper into the fog, ever trying to escape the inevitable reality that in the fog, there is no escape, not even in death.In this Verse, Doe often goes by the monikers 'Blue-Jeans,' 'Hairspray,' or 'Freckles'. Most survivors are unaware or remain unconvinced of her existence. Treating her more akin to a ghost story or cryptid than a genuine survivor. No one knows her name, or if she even has a name, instead referring to her by the most distinctive physical characteristics, changing as they may be. In trials she is characterized by her elusiveness, those distinctive traps, avoiding other survivors, and quick and silent rescues before disappearing back into her surroundings.
❝ A STRANGER NO MORE | DEAD BY DAYLIGHT.
II. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP VI | AGE 20 | STATUS: ALIVE (KIND OF) | BASED AFTER BEING IN FOG FOR QUITE SOME TIMEDoe has been in the fog long enough to see the light, or rather the hopeless darkness of the Spider God's cruel game, yet in the face of such utter despair, Doe has not sunk into the misery. Instead... it has set her free. Doe had spent her life up to that point fighting fate, running from the prophetic visions of the tragic and gruesome deaths waiting to take her life at every turn. She had subscribed to the hope that if she ran, far enough, long enough, away from everyone who loved and cared for her. That maybe, some day, she'd be safe, that she could rest. But that illusion of sacrifice for peace has been shattered since her entry to the fog. To live in the Entity's domain is to accept that even survival is merely postponing the inevitable; saving your death for the next trial as it were. It has no meaning, there is no running or escaping it. All you can do is make that fate, your death, yours to control and claim.In this Verse, Doe has become well acquainted with her fellow survivors, she now resides at the campsite and by fire side. Her trust gained and bolstered through trials and down time. She is now known by the more popular, and preferred name Jane Doe, or Doe for short. She is now far bolder and more open with her thoughts and opinions, sharing her perks openly and gaining a more altruistic demeanor in trials. Thanks to her epiphany regarding the Entity's Realm, she views her deaths as inevitable and thus something she wishes to choose the circumstances rather than allowing the killers that power over her.❝ NEVER FOUND | DEAD BY DAYLIGHT.

I. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP V | AGE 19 | STATUS: ALIVE | BASED PRE OR POST EVENTS OF TCM GAMEShe'd seen too much and now that cat's cradle which had entangled her snaked itself round her throat and limbs, pulling ever tighter with each move. The police did nil, her family considered her paranoid, but Doe knew, the eyes on her back, Doe knew she was on borrowed time. She needed to move, to be gone from the province, or better than that, the country itself. But how? Without money, the idea seemed like a fever dream, but it seemed Doe wasn't the only one seeking escape from Canada, no, there was a group of them. Hippies some would call them, self-styled adventurers, call them what you will, their desire for California and a life of glamour beyond Canada could not be understated and neither could the fact they'd had a car. That was enough for Doe and after paying the age old tax of gas, ass or grass, she hitched up for the trip. Disappearing before her would be killers could catch her and shedding along the way her previous name and identity. What she could not have known at the time was that any fate she could have befallen in the comfort of her community could not even begin to compare to the depths of sadism and depravity she would encounter. This decision, a seeming miracle on a shoe-string budget, would lead her like a lamb into one of the most bizarre and macabre crimes of American History, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.Exactly as it says on the tin, Doe is one of a small and rather personality-clashing group of travellers from Canada, heading through the United States with the hopes of making it to California. Doe is merely along for the ride as a means of safety and escape from the troubles following her at home, but after a major argument breaks out, it leaves the group struggling and ready to fall apart. In an effort to mend this, the leader and driver of the group pulls away from the I40, back onto the Texan back roads, directly into Newt, Texas with the hopes of separating long enough to let everyone cool down. Only for members to begin disappearing, starting with the driver himself. Leaving Doe stranded with her primary hope laying in finding the missing party member to recover his keys and escape the growing massacre.Of note for this Verse, the aforementioned 'massacre' can be easily reverted to them simply going missing, or that Doe is entirely unaware that they're no longer waiting for her back at the van and hanging around in the tense silence they hoped to escape by stopping. Doe in this verse still goes by the usual nickname of Doe albeit not because she has forgotten her true name, rather because she's trying to escape it. She can be characterized by a somewhat curt nature, more overtly guarded than in other verses, though this is in large part from being in company with people she would happily sell for a single cornchip and still feeling as though she's actively in the burner, fearing for her safety while surrounded by others who seem blissfully oblivious to their own. Ultimately though, she's still Doe, shy but sweet and cautious to a fault.

❝ LAMB ON THE RUN | DEFAULT : FANDOMLESS
I. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP VI | AGE 19 | STATUS: ALIVE This Verse takes place during the period immediately following Doe's voluntary disappearance before any harm has additional harm has come to her Doe is entirely unaware if any of her family or friends are searching for her, and to an extent, she remains unconcerned. Her primary concern lies with protecting herself and keeping her identity illusive. For this reason, she outright refuses to provide her given birth name, under any circumstances. She is convinced she is being followed and she's not incorrect. In terms of her living situation, she is effectively drifting, coasting from cheap motels, the couches of friend's she's made along the way, the inside of jimmied sheds and unoccupied cabins / homes. It's not ideal, or legal in the slightest, but it is what she feels needs to be done. She is characterized as crafty & clever, but cagey, very very cagey. She is unwilling to trust individuals, unlike her Dead by Daylight Verses, because she knows the basics of who is after her and knows that they are not the only person after her❝ I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO ME | PRE-DISAPPEARANCE : FANDOMLESS.
I. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP IV | AGE 18 | STATUS: ALIVE This Verse takes place in the short time period prior to Doe's voluntary disappearance and before any harm has befallen her. Doe has no thoughts or ideation on the subject of running away or disappearing. The entire notion seems ridiculous to her. She has far too much going on to consider such a possibility, instead she is greatly focused on her future and her aspirations and art. To fund these ventures, she regretfully spends her days working between part time shifts at a fast food location at the Kingsgate Mall & babysitting for family friends. All the while honing her talents and interests in the family home where she continues to stay alongside her immediate support system.❝ SOMETIMES SPIRITS LINGER | POST-DEATH : FANDOMLESS.

I. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP III | AGE 18 | STATUS: ALIVE | BASED AROUND F13 PART 2It's an awful feeling, pawned around like an unwanted Christmas present. Doe hadn't meant to worry anyone, the dreams were just dreams, she had only meant to vent the building stress from work and school and... well them. But it seems her words must have struck something, because as quickly the matter had been brought up, she was whisked away. Sent to a distant relative at first, then another, then to summer camp. She'd be a counselor, 'in training, of course' they'd told her, a perfect retreat from the real world for a summer, her family had connections to expedite the process, it was a good solution, a mental health retreat without the stigma (in their mind) giving her decompression while her family devised a proper plan to deal with the troubling fixation she'd seemed to have about her own mortality. After all, what could possibly happen at summer camp?Doe is a training camp counselor at Crystal Lake, this is one of the very very rare verses where Doe goes by her given birth name, Rira Oshima. Rira is unsteady & uncertain, she trusts herself little on a good day, but combine that with how quickly she's seen herself being shipped away at the first sign of showing strain from the stress and pressure she's under and she's left feeling cursed.❝ WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT? | STRANGER THINGS
I. FOLLOWS LORE TO CHAP I | AGE 17-22 | STATUS: ALIVE PLEASE READ THIS LINK FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THIS VERSEThe year is 1982, and Doe SHOULD be happy, she knows it, but the feeling of joy at a change of scenery never comes, in fact, as the car treads on, the towering trees shifting from coniferous emerald giants to plumes of brightly coloured plumes of leaves. All that comes is that telltale tremble, shaking each breath and the sting of acid at the back of her throat: held-back cries turned cutting, she knows, but she won't admit, especially not to the foreign faces feigning smiles, what a pleasure it is to meet her again after so long, they've heard so many things. Oh, Doe BETS they have.She doesn't want to know the stories; Doe'd argue she doesn't care, but that would be a blatant lie, as transparent as the brave face she's currently wearing. They're lies, all lies; they don't know her; they've NEVER known her. What her parents, the wardens, did know were the grades they took credit for and the incident they could have prevented. If they'd listened, for once, she had proof. But no, tighter leash, more restrictions, the guards, her brothers following her straight home and guiding HIS way the entire time. She begged them to listen, the car outside their house, getting closer and closer, the fox to the henhouse.He WAS going to hurt her; he'd tried before, and she had marks from when he tried to grab her after school. She couldn't stay in that goddamn house, in her goddamn room, visible from the road. She needed to leave, and she BEGGED them, begged them to send her away before this, but no, what would the family think? That she was pregnant, the town bicycle? Failing classes? Expelled? No, no, no.She had to STAY for them, but her life was worth more. She knew this; she had a bag packed and ready to go; she'd said goodbye to her friends and knew a shelter some towns over where she could be safe. She planned to tell them once she got away, but a link in the chain broke. A friend or two let the word slip to the guards, a plan foiled before she could even leave and oh, the fallout it wrought.She'd been in trouble before; screaming matches were never hard to find and physical discipline less so, but the quietness scared her worse, the defeat; she didn't hear many of the words, but she knew the message loud and clear. They gave up on her; she'd be someone else's problem now.First, the nightmares, then the anxiety, the incident with her job, the false reports to the police (they weren't lies) and now this? They didn't know what was wrong with her, where they went WRONG. But they couldn't keep trying to keep a lid on the situation she seemed determined to bring to a boil.She wasn't their daughter; she was this... monster. That was the word they'd used, seared in like a branding iron, and she screamed it out through the night. When the Sato's finally arrived to bring her to her new home, her voice was gone, raw and fractured. Silent as she'd gotten what she'd wanted and needed, but in the method she worst feared.Doe is sent away from her home following a failed runaway attempt 'for her own good,' in truth, her parents have sent her away more for their benefit than hers. The mounting stress of an incident where Doe (truthfully) claimed to have witnessed the abduction and murder of a woman has led them all to a breaking point. Doe, in terror for her own life and realizing the gravity of her situation, has taken impulsive action into her own hands. And her parents? Not understanding the problem or holding the trust in Doe to take her at her word, they have come to believe that this 'stalking' issue, like many of Doe's problems and the subject of her previous terror, resides solely within her head and that the madness of her paranoia and behaviour has gone on long enough. It is their hope, their will, that by moving in with her Mother's sister, Doe will be compelled to understand, to heed for once in her life and to rectify herself and through social pressure or a change of scenery, or some other means they haven't thought of.
