The Jigsaw

## Ability (I Want To Play A Game)

The Jigsaw starts with 5 reverse bear traps. He can collect one more only: can gather it from a Jigsaw box. After knocking a survivor down, you can place a trap on them. If there are 5 generators left, there is a 3.5 minute timer active. If there are 4 generators, then 3 minutes. 3- 2.5 minutes, 2- 2 minutes, 1- 1.5 minutes. If all generators are done, then it's sixty seconds. As well, a remixed version of "Hello Zepp" plays when the survivor hits sixty seconds. There are 5 Jigsaw boxes, meaning you have a 20% chance of getting the right key. You cannot escape with a reverse bear trap on your head at all. It will immediately activate and sacrifice the survivor, including hatch/exit gates. The Jigsaw will randomly say quotes when hooking a survivor/breaking a generator/breaking a pallet/getting stunned/reverse bear trap kills/survivor gets the trap off, such as "Cherish your life.", "Those who do not appreciate life, do not deserve life.", "So many people are so ungrateful to be alive.", etc.

## Perks

### Make Your Choice

Your love for giving survivors a chance to live only makes you stronger.

Survivors now have a slightly/moderately/tremendously easier time of jumping of the hook. If they choose not to then once they reach phase 2 they will- have an decreased amount of time left/nothing new/die. However if they try and fail and enter phase 2 they still can be saved. If they get off the hook by attempting to escape you get a stackable token that can stack to 3/nothing new/2. Once done, it will increase your pallet breaking speed, vaulting speed, hit succession speed by 10/15/20% and increases movement speed by nothing/1/2%. It will show the survivor the icon of the perk in the top to make sure they know it's active.

*"Live or die, make your choice." - John Kramer*

### Expert Constructing

Your ability to make long lasting traps help you in your new life.

Hooks take 15/25/50% longer to destroy and after a sabotage/sacrifice, it'll repair after 60/30/5 seconds.

Traps you place as the Trapper take 15/25/50% longer to sabotage and setting time is decreased by 3/4/8%.

Chainsaws start up 4/5/10% faster and reduces cooldown by 5/9/13%

Jigsaw boxes take 15/19/23% longer to search and have a increased skill check penalty.

*"Yes, I'm sick, officer. Sick from the disease eating away at me inside. Sick of people who don't appreciate their blessings. Sick of those who scoff at the suffering of others. I'm sick of it all!" - John Kramer*

### Missing Piece

Your hatred for people taking life for granted makes you eager to test them.

When a generator gets finished 1/2/3, survivors get hit with a random negative effect for 60/80/120 seconds. Once the perk is in effect, the perk will cooldown, as well as show you which effects are active. Cooldown is 180/160/100 seconds long.

*"The jigsaw piece that I cut from my subjects was only ever meant to be a symbol that subject was missing something. A vital piece of the human puzzle. The survival instinct." - John Kramer*

## Normal Weapon (Hidden Blade)

The Jigsaw uses a razor-sharp blade, attached to a mechanical contraption that can conceal or extend it.

### Memento Mori

The Jigsaw slices the neck of the survivor. Blood squirts out of their body as he tells them "Game over."

## Story

John Kramer was a successful civil engineer. His first building was the Gideon Meatpacking Plant at 11235 Blake Drive. At one point in his life, he married a woman named Jill Tuck and encouraged her to open the Homeward Bound Clinic, an ambulant recovery clinic for addicts under the motto "Cherish your Life." Jill has gotten pregnant with a child. In which they named Gideon because of his first building. John planned his son's birth during the year of the pig.

One night, John sat in his car and waited for Jill outside the clinic. Shortly afterwards, he suddenly noticed how Cecil stormed out of the clinic and ran away. John came in to find out Cecil had killed John and Jill's baby by slamming a door on her belly. The doctor's couldn't save the unborn child and finally gave John the bad news. John sat at Jill's bed and held her hand, she told him that she only wanted to help the people at her clinic. John bitterly and upset answered that they could only save themselves.

After Gideon's death, John suffered from severe depression. He started to be isolated from everything, including his wife. John's physical condition worsened dramatically. When he went to the Angel of Mercy Hospital, the oncologist Dr. Lawrence Gordon diagnosed him with colon cancer and a frontal lobe tumor. Earlier before that, his x-rays were mixed up with another patient. By time he was diagnosed, the cancer wasn't treatable and worsened greatly. John eventually learned about an experimental genetic therapy developed by a doctor in Norway, who believed that John was a promising candidate for a new test series. However, when John asked his insurance company to bear the treatment cost, all of his requests were repeatedly declined.

Extremely depressed and cancer worsening on him, John ultimately tried to end his life by driving his car off a cliff. He survived the crash. After that he had a new understanding of life and wanted to live. He learned to cherish his life. Because of this, he decided to spent the remaining time of his life on testing other peoples' will to live, in order to convince them, to value their lives and the lives of those around them. Cecil was his first test. He took him to his workshop and strapped him to a chair. Cecil failed and so would many others. Along the way he started to recruit apprentices to aid him. Such as Logan Nelson, Mark Hoffman, Amanda Young, and Dr. Gordon.

Time was almost up for John. He prepared tests for the future and let his apprentices create some. Unfortunately. One of them, Amanda, started to make unwinnable games. Therefore John retested her by making her not kill the doctor that is trying to operate on him. If she wouldn't kill her, she would be redeemed according to John. But she was blackmailed into killing her by Hoffman. Just as this happens, Jeff enters. Jeff was a test subject that was learning to forgive people. However, seeing as that was his wife, he shot and killed Amanda. Then he tried shooting John, but he ran out of ammo. John offered Jeff to forgive him and save his wife before she would bleed out. However, Jeff doesn't forgive and then he slices John's neck with a circular saw. Before dying, John gives Jeff a tape that tells him his daughter is locked up in a place with not a lot of oxygen and only John knows it's whereabouts. John died smiling as Jeff screamed in terror. The legacy of Jigsaw will always live on...
