Story:

```

Shujin Yamaoka never agreed with his family traditions. He always believed that their attachments to their honor made them weak. Ever since he was a boy, he always rebelled against his family. Whether it was vandalizing neighboring lord's homes or as extreme as beating a neighboring lord's son to near death over insulting him at 15 years of age. His parents sent him away to a reforming instructory in the hopes that this was simply some youthful anger that he would grow out of. The reality was, this decision had a much more sinister motive. The reforming instructory happened to be a laboratory for an amateur herb maker fascinated with driving another man to the brink of madness. He took an interest in Shujin, one day strapping him to a table and, over the course of 10 years, force feeding him different herbs, experimenting on his body. These experiments massively changed his body, morphing him into something beyond human. He was no longer human. He was something....else. In a fit of rage, he brutally murdered the herb maker, freeing all of his "Projects" and letting them loose into the world. He escaped the laboratory, returning to his parents home. To his horror and rage, they'd known about what the instructory really was, they simply wanted the embarrassment that was him out of their home. In a fit of rage unlike anything he'd ever felt in his life, he slaughtered his mother, father and even his younger brother, ensuring that he was the only one left on his side of the family.

When his cousin, Kazan's family heard of his crimes, they put a bounty on his head for his capture. Shujin fled to the mountains of northern Japan, searching for what he'd always wanted to find. Ninja teachings. The climb was rigorous, perilous and nearly killed him, but Shujin now had the strength and will of a demon. He reached the top of the mountain and found the cave where he found the manuscripts. Over the next 7 years, he trained himself in the art of the ninja practicing each move again and again and again, each technique, only stopping when he knew all of them like the back of his hand and could do them better than the ones who invented the moves. He returned to the town where he knew he was a wanted man. He wore a black ninja outfit and with his family's ancestral katana, shurkiens he'd found atop the mountain and smoke bombs he'd personally crafted. He came across a band of warriors, looking for his head. They didn't stand a chance and Shujin slaughtered them with ease, leaving them in pieces. The villagers were so shocked at the seen that they believed him to be a demon, nicknaming him "The Ronin." With the powers he'd gained from the herb maker all those years ago, he was like a force of nature, striking from the shadows, slaughtering all who came after him. Until finally, 10 years after he'd escaped that laboratory, he met a familiar face. Kazan Yamaoka, his cousin. He'd heard rumors when he'd come back to the town that his cousin had abandoned the samurai code. Shujin had smiled to himself, beaming with pride. His cousin was wearing armor with the look of the Oni, the demon. He expected a fight, but his cousin did the last thing Shujin expected. He shook his hand. Said that he was proud of Shujin's work and believed that they could work together. Apparently, Kazan was dead and reborn in the form of a demon. He told Shujin that the 2 of them could do great work reeking vengeance on those who disrespected the Yamaoka name. Nothing had sounded so good to Shujin. The 2 cousins disappeared into legend, only reemerging as hellish demons, reeking death and destruction on all those who dared disrespect the samurai. Shujin had finally found his calling.

Power:

```

**Traitor's Gift-** Call upon the teachings of your ancestors to manifest the skills of the wretched ninja.

```
Throwing star-Secondary stance.

```

When the active ability button is pressed, The Ronin pulls out 2 throwing stars from his default pack of 5 and, after 1 2nd of holding the active ability button, throws them 6 meters in front of him. On contact, these stars cause the injured effect. When holding the button for longer, The Ronin returns the stars to his pack. If he doesn't, he loses the stars, but only suffers a 0.5 second cooldown. If he does, he suffers a 2 cooldown. If the power button is held for 3 seconds, The Ronin throws 5 stars in quick secession, insta downing survivors. The same rules as a normal throw apply, accept The Ronin suffers a 4 second cooldown when recalling his stars. Extra stars can be acquired in lockers.

```
Smoke Bomb:

```

Press and hold the grab button to grab your handmade smoke bombs. When the grab button is released, The Ronin throws the smoke bottom 4 meters in front of him. On contact, survivors cough and suffer from the **oblivious** effect for 7 seconds. The smoke bomb has a 4 meter radius and completely impairs the survivors vision. If the survivor is hit in the smoke bomb, the smoke completely dissipates for that survivor and oblivious is canceled. For all other survivors, all they hear is the survivor scream as they are hit. This ability can be canceled by pressing the power button. When a smoke bomb is thrown, The Ronin must wait 30 seconds before he can throw another one. Hitting a survivor takes 5 seconds off this timer.

```
Ninja Climb:

```

When near a wall, press the power button to climb up a wall that is taller than The Ronin. When doing so, he climbs to the nearest ledge, climbing atop it. On very high buildings, like Shacks, when releasing the power button, the Ronin imbeds his katana in the wall, perching himself against the wall. When doing this, all survivors in a 3 meter radius have their auras shown. When pressing and holding the attack button, The Ronin jumps off the wall. If he lands on a survivor, he digs his sword into their shoulder, pulling it out and then wiping off the blood. If The Ronin jumps from 3-5 meters in the air, the survivor is afflicted by the **Deep Wound** status effect. If he jumps from any higher, the attack is a insta down. The attack must be aimed. Unless directly looked at, The Ronin gains the undetectable status effect until looked at. If his jump attack misses, he can run forward for 3 seconds during which he is twice as fast as survivors and can attack to cancel his run. Just like his jump, his attack must be aimed. If he misses his attack or his run finishes, he suffers a 2 second cooldown. If his attack hits, the survivor is injured. When pressing the active ability button after connecting a successful hit on a survivor, The Ronin immediately throws 2 throwing stars 4 meters in front of him. He loses both stars by default.

```
Perks:

```

```
**Silent as Night**:

```

You have mastered the art of disappearing and punish those who look upon you with unworthy eyes. When within 16-8 meters of a survivor, you gain the undetectable status. Additionally, any survivor who looks directly in your direction will be afflicted by the exposed status effect for 6/7/10 seconds, but will also deactivate the perk, resulting in a 60/50/40 second cooldown. This applies to special attacks and normal attacks. "*You are not fit to look at me, worm!"-*The Ronin

```
**Bled dry:**

```

Your strikes cut deep as you wield the sharpest of blades. Lunge attacks on healthy survivors afflicted the exhausted status effect for 10/20/30 seconds. Has a 100/80/60 second cooldown. "*Shujin always reveled in drawing blood from those he hated. Now, he foams at the mouth for a taste of it."-*Unknown

```
**Without honor:**

```

Your prey don't deserve honor and as such, you won't grant them it. Once per trial, while carrying a survivor within up to 5/7/10 meters of the exit gates or the hatch, both exit gates and the hatch are blocked by the entity for 60 seconds. Additionally, any survivors within up to 5/7/10 meters of the exit gates or hatch suffer from the exposed status effect. "*My family consumed themselves in their honor. I am not like them, I am not weak. You'll get no mercy from me."-*The Ronin.

```
**Mori**:

```

The Ronin throws 2 shurikens into the survivor's knees, immobilizing them. Then, he steps forward, taking 2 more shurikens, throwing them into the survivor's hands, further immobilizing them. Finally, he takes his sword in one hand and a smoke bomb in the other, throwing a smoke bomb down and disappearing before he reappears from the vapor in front of the opponent, reaching down and slitting their throat with his katana.

```
  New survivor: Kuji Yamaoka

```

Story: Kuji Yamaoka, the youngest in the newest line of the Yamaoka's, knew full well of the horrific stories of his ancestor's crimes and as such, had no interest in following his family history of being a samurai. He took an interest in the outdoors and became a farmer. One day, he was working on the farm and a cold, black fog overtook his house and farm and he found himself in the family estate. Back home, the last place in the world he wanted to be. He looked around as he noticed the estate was in excellent condition, almost suspiciously so. Kuji was the only person in the world who knew where he was. They never did find a body.

```
Perks:

```

```
**Armored skin**:

```

You're accustomed to bruises as you've had more than you've cared to remember. When hit in the injured state, you are instead afflicted by the broken status effect instead of being downed. Additionally, if a killer hits you with any attack while you are injured, their cooldown is increased by 1/2/4 seconds. This has a cooldown of 60/50/40 seconds.

```
**Sturdy hands**:

```

Despite your aversion to violence, you have the hands of a warrior. For every injured, hooked or downed survivor, gain a token. For each token, you gain a 5/7/9% buff to repairing, healing and sabotaging. Additionally, each failed skill check regresses less and successful skill checks are increased in efficiency.

```
**Natural instinct**:

```

You work in nature every day and, as such, know exactly where to hide. When hid in tall grass and behind objects, your aura is not shown to the killer. Additionally, your breathing is moderately/significantly/tremendously quieter when you're behind an object that obscures the killers vision.
