The Symbiote

The Symbiote is a licensed Killer owned by Marvel. His Power allows him to call upon Carnage Symbiote when he's shed enough blood. His Personal Perks, **Thrill of the Kill**, **He's Mine**, and **Degenerate Son** increase his hunting prowess and willingness to disobey the Entity.

He comes from the Expansion Pack **Dead by Daylight: The Marvel Chapter** as a bundle with the Hulk and General Ross, along with two maps, his own (Ryker's Island), and the Hulk's (Desert Base)

## Backstory

From the moment he was born, Cletus Kassidy was always a bad seed. His family was dysfunctional, with his father an abusive alcoholic, and his mother abusive against him in return. His grandmother as well made her disdain obvious. Already these are bad conditions to raise a child, but without taking proper care to guide them, they can truly become deadly, even when they aren't fully grown.

It was one day that he witnessed a dog get run over. Young Cletus saw something in the dog's eyes as it's life faded away. Something that peaked his interest. Something he wanted to see again. He wanted to see what happened when the life faded from a living creature.

His was his grandmother. Pushing her down a flight of stairs, he rushed down to see her eyes, but whatever it was that was in them as she died was long gone when Cletus made it down the steps. He tried to kill his mother by dropping a hairdryer into the bathroom, although he failed. His parents finally snapped when his successful attempt to kill his mother's dog set off a chain reaction.

His mother attempted to kill Cletus, causing his father to spring into action, killing her in order to defend his son, who refused to defend him in court. With one parent dead and the other in prison, Cletus was thrown into an orphanage. His antisocial behavior made him a target of ridicule and abuse for children and staff alike. The psychotic child wasted no time paying back his suffering. He murdered the disciplinarian administrator, pushed a girl who bullied him in front of a moving bus, and completely burned down the orphanage. His horrible time at the orphanage had taught him one thing: Life was meaningless. Death was the only thing that mattered.

As he grew, Cletus Kassidy became an infamous serial killer, but due to his obvious insanity, no one could ever achieve the death penalty. During his stay at Ryker's Island, Cletus was the cellmate of Eddie Brock, a former photographer who believed his life had been ruined by Spider-Man. Eddie was also the supervillain Venom, something possible due to his bond with an alien creature, referred as a symbiote. The Symbiote fed off of it's host, in return allowing the host to have superpowers, including many of the ones that the symbiote had gained from it's previous hosts. There was one drawback, however.

Symbiotes take on the personality traits of those they bond with, so the first bond is crucial. What neither Eddie nor Cletus knew was that the Venom symbiote had reproduced as he escaped, and the closest possible person was Cletus.

The Symbiote latched onto Cletus, covering him in it's black skin. What neither of them counted on was the Symbiote merging through his very bloodstream through a cut on his finger, turning the Symbiote red. As Cletus was the Symbiote's first host, it was immediately driven insane, it's personality now completely matching Cletus's own. As the two took on their new, horrific form, they dubbed themselves Carnage, because they knew that they would cause so much.

As the newly dubbed Carnage was born, a thick, black fog rolled into the jail cell. The Entity had sensed the amount of evil in these two. The bloodlust. In all his time, in all of his ancient time, he had never quite encountered a being such as this. It offered the both of them a deal: An eternity of servitude for him, and they would get an eternity of victims. Carnage agreed.

*"Good..."*

The fog swirled around him, until he could no longer see inside of it. When it finally dissipated, it seemed as though they had gone nowhere.

However, the guards were gone, and a generator that was not there before had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

A scream from somewhere in Ryker's caught his attention. Carnage grinned, practically dripping with sadism.

Carnage's first victim.

## Weapon

The symbiote wants to be a part of the carnage at all times. The symbiote wraps your hands, giving you razor sharp claws.

## Power

Absolute Carnage

One body can not contain the bloodlust of two creatures. Pressing the Action Button activated Absolute Carnage. When active, Cletus calls upon the symbiote and becomes Carnage for a limited Duration. In this state, his speed is increased slightly, and he can now vault pallets and windows at the same speed at max survivor vault speed.

Pallets that stun you are immediately destroyed because of your increased durability. You also have no reaction to being stabbed.

Pressing the action button goes into aim mode. Press the attack button in this mode to stretch a strand of red webbing towards the target. If the hit is successful, the survivor will be pulled to you, counting as an attack.

Your sharp claws do increased damage. When you hit healthy survivors, you immediately put them into the dying state.

Sometimes you just can't wait. Every third time Absolute Carnage is triggered, you have the option to kill 1 survivor, no matter their state.

Once the symbiote is called upon, he will have his fun before he relinquishes control. Absolute Carnage cannot be canceled out or stopped early.

Absolute Carnage has a 2 minute cooldown.

## Perks

Thrill of the Kill

The possibility of a new victim fills you with excitement. As survivors are killed or sacrificed, you gain a token, to a maximum of three tokens. Each token gives you a speed boost of 15%/25%/35%. Tokens can not be lost.

*"Death is the only thing that matters." - Cletus Kassidy*

He's Mine

You refuse to allow someone else your kill. Survivors do not bleed out when in the dying state for 120/180/infinite seconds, preventing them from an easy escape.

*"Everyone is a target!" - Cletus Kassidy*

Degenerate Son

Sometimes the child will disobey to prove themselves. Killing a survivor by your hand also grants 25%/50%/100% points towards sacrifice.

*"I am the **ultimate insanity!** I am **CARNAGE!**" - Cletus Kassidy*

## Mori

You thrust your claws into the survivor's, relishing in his screams as you pick him up, before the symbiote expands within his body, turning jutting massive spikes into the survivor from the inside out.

## Absolute Carnage Kill

You are hungry for both food and blood. You give a sadistic laugh as you rip you victim's arms off, relishing in their screams before stabbing your claws into their back and lifting them up, opening your mouth wide, and biting their heads off.

## Cosmetics

You can customized the character to look more like Venom than Carnage, including an Eddie Brock head piece.
