A Taste For Flesh

*How hungry are you willing to go to keep your humanity? Will you keep your sanity or succumb to the munchies?*

**A Taste For Flesh** is my own fanmade Dead By Daylight chapter concept featuring a new killer, The Chef, a new survivor and a new realm and map.

## Killer: The Chef

Real Name: Basil Laurent

Gender: Male

Nationality: British of French descent

Realm: The Queen’s Kitchen, Alderborn Terrace

Power: Snapped

Weapon: The King’s Cleaver

Movement Speed: 115%

Height: Average

Terror Radius: 32 metres

### Lore:

From a young age, Basil Laurent had always been fascinated by the brilliance of the culinary world. He trained and practised day and night to perfect his skills and recipes so that he would one day be a cooking star like the greats he looked up to.

After thirteen years in the business, he got his big break, finding himself hosting cooking shows, writing cookbooks and catering at lavish parties for the global elite, essentially boosting him to this status as well. At the height of his career, he opened up a restaurant in central London called The Queen’s Kitchen, which was highly praised by critics and customers from around the world.

But as he grew into his middle-ages, his career started to slow down as his culinary skills became outdated. Less and less people ate at his restaurant and even fewer actually liked his food. His beloved restaurant was plagued by negative reviews from critics and customers alike. The people he’d spent his whole life serving and slaving away to please all turned their backs on him and his career.

This fall from glory birthed a hatred in Basil that took shape in the form of violent outbursts at both his staff and the few diners his restaurant had left. Nights that were once filled with the sounds of delight and smells of deliciousness became ones filled with the shattering of plates, the hurling of insults and the guarantee that customers wouldn’t be returning. Basil’s anger was mostly contained to yelling and breaking of his own property, until the critic who both made and broke his career as a chef returned once again and the moment Basil saw her walk through his doors, the urge to yell mutated into an urge to kill. The poor critic didn’t even make it to the third course before Basil stormed in, brandishing a butcher's knife as he made his way over to her and chopped off her head in one fell swoop.

Police didn’t come until the next morning and called in back up once they saw the blood splattered dining hall. But it was the kitchen that made even the strongest throw up their breakfast. Scattered around, in pots and on platters were elegantly made dishes with one common ingredient: Human flesh.

Nobody remembered the Basil Laurent that was a talented celebrity super chef; they only remembered the Basil Laurent that was a psychopathic cannibal. His body, neither dead nor alive, was found, the closest anyone had to his whereabouts was a hobo camping in the back alley who watched as the chef stumbled out from his restaurant and into a thick field of fog. An urban legend was born from Basil’s mysterious massacre and disappearance, one mothers would tell their children who refused to eat their greens at dinner. If you see a fog after leaving a meal uneaten, it means Basil the Butcher was coming to chop you up for his next dish.

### Power: Snapped

*Just like when The Chef’s sanity finally snapped completely, no one knows what his plan is before he’s already executed it.*

Whilst activated, Snapped grants The Chef the Undetectable status effect for a span of 20 seconds. He also gains a 10% speed boost when using Snapped and is unaffected by fallen pallets, breaking them. Once the 20 seconds are up, The Chef has to wait 28 seconds for the power gauge to charge up again.

Special Ability: Subject of Criticism

Whilst Snapped is activated, the auras of survivors within 3 metres of The Chef are revealed and stay revealed until Snapped is over. When a survivor is downed during Snapped’s duration, their aura is not revealed to other survivors until they are hooked or Snapped is over.

Special Affliction: Served

When a survivor is downed during Snapped, the survivor will suffer from the Broken status effect for fifteen seconds once they’re put back onto the wounded position.

### Perks:

After a survivor is unhooked, theirs and their saviour’s auras become visible to you for 3/5/10 seconds.
* Any previously hooked survivors will also scream the first time they see you following them being unhooked.

 Critics Beware
Whenever a skill check is failed, including from generators and healing survivors, the survivor’s aura is revealed for 3/5/7 seconds.
 Bon Appetit
After downing a survivor a second time, all survivors in a 4/7/12 metre radius let out a scream.
* When downing a survivor a second time using Snapped, the aura’s of these survivors will appear for 4 seconds

## Survivor: Shawnee Lassen

Name: Shawnee Lassen

Gender: Female

Role: Food Truck Chef

Origin: American

### Lore:

Despite being born to an American couple from the states, Shawnee was born in a European Airport when her parents were trying to get back home to Kansas after their holiday. Whenever she’d tell this story to others, pouts of sympathy sprouted from them, under the assumption she wasn’t planned and therefore unwanted, when in fact, she was desperately wanted. She was meant to have been born in the states but her father spraining his ankle delayed their return for a week. Nonetheless, Shawnee may be American, but at least she can say she lived in Paris for the first year of her life.

Outside of her complicated birth, Shawnee lived an average life for a girl like her. Her father, Wallace, was the head chef at a local burger joint who would come home every night reeking of beef and grease and whilst the smell may have put off her sensitive-nosed mother, Shawnee associated the smell with the warm love of her father. The older she grew, the more invested in her father’s work she became, flipping burgers alongside him during family barbecues and taking over his shifts at the burger joint towards the end of his life when a serious case of lung cancer struck him in the heart. Mother always said those cigarettes would be the death of him.

After the loss of her father, Shawnee made it her mission to fulfil his dream of getting a food truck and touring the country with it. With years of hard work and saving, Shawnee took her burger truck on the open road, cooking them up Lassen style in her van named The Wally Burg after her father.

She loved the life of flipping patties for the folks she came across city after city and town after town. This lifestyle may have grown the Lassen daughter and her mother further apart than they ever were, but Shawnee made an effort to send her a card each month and make a visit on her birthday and the holidays. Unfortunately, nothing good ever lasts forever.

One night whilst she was sleeping at a motel, Shawnee was awoken by the sounds of sirens blaring right outside her door and once she went to check the commotion out, her face filled with horror as she saw The Wally Burg ablaze, the sign atop it with a picture of her father melting away before her eyes. Just like that, her whole world was reduced to ashes along with the truck. With no place to go but home, Shawnee rented a car later that night with whatever cash she didn’t leave in the van and headed back to Kansas from Florida, barely able to see through the darkness and her tears.

To make matters worse, the car croaked to a stop in the middle of a foggy road, leaving Shawnee stranded and freezing in her work top. But as she contemplated walking in it, a familiar horn echoed through the clouds which instantly had her running. It was the horn she had on her truck. Was it okay? Did it survive the fire? A million questions ran through her head as she ran further into the darkness, not stopping until she saw a campfire light flickering in the middle of it.

Shawnee’s car was found late into the next day with not a sign of her there. The only thing concrete enough that the police found was her cell phone on the passenger's seat with several missed calls from her mother and two from the local hospital.

### Perks:

After healing a survivor, their running speed will increase by 3.5% for 5/10/15 seconds afterwards.
 Open Road
After completing a generator, you gain a 2/5/7% speed boost.
* This applies to all generators, but only the ones you’ve completed.

 Lassen Style
The time taken to repair a generator is decreased by 0.5/2.5/3%.
* This perk does not apply when using a toolbox to repair a generator.
* The time between skill checks decreases by 2%.

*“Watch closely now, Shawnee, this is how ya flip a burger properly!” - Wally Lassen*

## Map: The Queen's Kitchen

*The Queen's Kitchen restaurant was once the most luxurious and prestigious gourmet restaurant in London and the world. Being the pride and joy of celebrity super chef, Basil Laurent, the whose-who of food and fame world dined at the restaurant frequently, with lines stretching two streets down and reservations needing to be booked months in advance at it's peak. Unfortunately, as Chef Laurent's career began to go downhill, the number of customers, both happy ones and in general, decreased dramatically, until the only ones who entered for a meal where the numerous critics hellbent on reminding poor Chef Laurent of his downfall, before the chef turned his safe heaven into a living hell one night.*

The Queen's Kitchen is a map on the new realm, Alderborn Terrace, the street the restaurant is on. The main building is a two story luxury restaurant with a large two story dining room, small entrance area and a maze like kitchen all looking rather rundown and abandoned. Out front of the main building is a small carpark and a cluttered London street with the large buildings being the boundaries of the map, though some small stores can be entered. There is a small park opposite the restaurant which has an exit gate and the killer shack. The basement is in the back of the restaurant and behind it is an alleyway with an exit gate.
