CHAIN

CHAIN (also called IT in the game) is the main antagonist of the game. CHAIN is a mentally insane lumberjack with a desire to kill. Currently, works of his information are still in progress.
==Lore of the rake==
Chain accidently murdered the rake with his deadly weapon....
Currently, any lethal weapons are ineffective against CHAIN, unless you are using something sacred. The reason so is that it will only make CHAIN angrier. Doing enough harm will trigger an event which will buff every stats he has, making him harder to fight or survive against (shown in the Bloodmoon event in Survival.) He can however be staggered or stunned through other means, like guns or grenades to prolong your survival.
The weapon that the possessed individual uses is an object/weapon related to what they do on a daily basis. CHAIN originally being a lumberjack that commits mass murder, enjoys killing his victims with a chainsaw. Now using it as his main killing tool under the mask. The chainsaw is assumed as a MANIFESTATION, and not a real chainsaw, which could explain why it wont jam or break when it penetrates players and comes in contact with machetes.
-Note that Legacy Chapter 1 is discontinued and has completely different lore, so please don't have anything in LEGACY to be related to the new CHAIN Revamp
==AI==
In Chapter 1, once IT has spawned, it will proceed to walk a certain path looking for players to kill. Once it sees you, it will start chasing you until you are out of his line of sight. You can use the crouch feature to make it harder for IT to find you, and weave through areas that you can hide in. 
In Survival, CHAIN will always walk to the player that is closest. He is always aware of your location, so you cannot just hide in buildings, and using the crouch feature inside buildings is also useless, since he will eventually find you, no matter what. ( May be changed in the final survival update ). 
== Killing ==
Chain is very brutal when it comes to hand to hand combat, especially when he is angered. From quick clean decapitations, to long painful barrages of CHAIN's rage. An explanation of such brutality and rage could be the mask giving strong urge to kill, and eons of combat with others. CHAIN/IT is very creative on killing others, he is known to charge without hesitation on others / KOS (kill on sight), and not stopping until the player has been mercilessly killed, or being lucky enough to escape.
==Trivia==
*During Chapter 1 in the first cutscene when you start the game, it is noticeable that CHAIN has his other arm remaining. He lost his other arm while attacking a military camp near the cabin the player woke up in. Its believed that IT got harmed by a tank in an attempt to protect his mask, leading it to lose 80% of its left arm. However, others think CHAIN/IT lost its arm by resisting to the chains that pull him too hard, seen in the end of the night at survival gamemode.
*The true reason why his left arm is destroyed is the spellbook first took away his powers, weakening him to a normal human state. Normal humans had the capability to kill him once hes in this state.
* CHAIN's footsteps and breathing are much louder than a player's, making it pretty easy to tell between it and a player.
* CHAIN is considered an otherworldly being, rising from the ground, most likely from hell. It can come out of anywhere as long as the spawn ritual is created for CHAIN.
* CHAIN used to be bigger than the player in Survival, but he was shrunken down since him being bigger caused many AI and pathfinding issues (he is still canonically bigger than the player, according to Earthy in a Discord message regarding a new update).
*According to Earthy, CHAIN's real name is supposedly "Joel", but this was then said to have been a joke, but was well-received within the community.
*You Cannot "kill" CHAIN with any ordinary holy weapon, you have to use a Specific book with spells that directly come from the Cult that Chain is from to Defeat Him.
*There have been several memes involving CHAIN's presence, such as CHAIN fighting Chainsaw Man, or CHAIN "singing" songs with chainsaw noises.
*CHAIN is slightly bigger than the player in-game, but he's a lot bigger canon-wise.
*CHAIN is based off various popular 80's horror movie slasher serial killers, Leatherface and Jason Voorhees.
*The mask that CHAIN wears is known to be eons old ( one eon is a billion years ), collecting IQ, resistance, willpower, and more, every single day.
*CHAIN having to collect combat experience very often, and strong desire to kill, can explain why he is so brutal and doesn't stop until you die or flee.
*Having 5 straps on CHAIN's mask ( the 6th is ripped off ), and what looks like one metal strap going horizontally from the back center of chains head, has it really complicated to take off the mask. Even so the mask can probably only be taken off by the sacred book.
*According to Spree, CHAIN doesn't actually need his missing arm, CHAIN only grows his arm back in Survival during Bloodmoon to kill his victims in a more brutal way.
*The creator of CHAIN said that CHAIN does not need BLOODMOON or any sort of extra power to regrow his arm, he may do it when he pleases but doesn't for whatever reason.
