## Lore

"Jack Torrance was a former teacher, aspiring writer, and recovered alcoholic. Along with his wife Wendy and son Danny, Jack took a job as caretaker of the labyrinth-like Overlook Hotel. The hotel had a dark past however, as Jack soon would learn, the previous caretaker went insane due to cabin fever and killed his wife and daughters with an axe. Jack would not be phased by this information and decided to accept his position. A blizzard left the Overlook completely snowbound and isolated. The weeks and months in complete isolation, coupled with eerie nature of the hotel, specifically Room 237, chipped away at Jack's sanity to a boiling point. Jack armed himself with an axe and set out to 'correct' his wife and son, destroying the radio to prevent them from calling for help. Jack terrorized Wendy and chased her and Danny through the halls and winding corridors of the Overlook. Eventually Wendy and Danny would escape outside to the blizzard, where Jack turned his attention to Danny. Danny made it into the Overlook’s hedge maze and managed to double back his footprints in the snow such that Jack lost him. Danny and Wendy finally escaped to safety from the hell that they had been living in as Jack laid in the snow. Frostbite and hypothermia enveloped him, completely defeated, Jack stopped hanging on to life and let the cold take him. As the life drained from his eyes, the fog of the blizzard intensified into a dark mist and the climate seemed to change. Curious, Jack stood up and found himself in a forest. In the distance he could see 4 others sitting at a campfire. He didn’t know why he was there or what had happened but he knew one thing. He would 'correct' them too."

## Weapon

Fire-Axe. As you went mad, this axe was used for an attempt to correct your wife and son. When you injure a survivor, you let out a maniacal laugh while wiping the blood off with your forearm.

## Power: Maniac's Rage

Press the power button to go into a Rage. While Maniac's Rage is active, you will move faster, and any attack will cause the survivor to have the Deep Wound and Hindered status effect. Rage requires a cooldown of 50 seconds.

Special Ability: Frostbite. This ability was gifted by the Entity. You can block a vault location or pallet with ice, and it lasts for 60 seconds.

Special Attack: Shining Slaughter. You can charge an overhead swing, making a Survivor suffer the Mangled status effect.

## Killer Perks

* Here's Johnny. If you kick a breakable wall or pallet, you do it 10% faster. "HERE'S JOHNNY! -Jack Torrance."
* Bash Your Brains. If you injure a survivor, they will suffer the Hemorrhaged status effect. "Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in. -Jack Torrance."
* Hex: Danny-Boy. When a survivor cleanses a dull totem, the survivor will be injured, and the blood trail will be twice as big. "Redrum. -Danny Torrance."

## Mori

You swing your axe at the survivor's chest, having blood spurt out of the chest while the survivor screams. You then laugh maniacally as you swing your axe at the survivor's head, killing the survivor.
