The Trickster

I've mentioned my obsession with Dead By Daylight a few times recently. This is the first of the games killers I've statted out for SURVIVE THIS!!. While he works for any game, I think he's most appropriate in a Vigilante City or What Shadows Hide game.

 

Ji-Woon Hak always loved attention. He would put on knife throwing performances to get attention for his families restaurant. His father then took profits to get Ji-Woon dancing and singing lessons. Eventually Ji-Woon was recruited into the K-Pop  band, NO SPIN. He loved the attention but it wasn't enough. He wanted the spotlight to be solely on him. When a fire broke out at a NO SPIN recording session he found his opportunity to make that happen. He locked his bandmates in the booth. 

Working his producer, Yun-Jin, he rebranded himself as the solo artist, the Trickster. After enjoying solo fame, he soon found things stale. This is when Ji-Woon secretly started using his knife skills and fame to become a world traveling serial killer. He incorporated his victims screams into his music. The Yun-Jin began to suspect him of the killings, she said nothing.

Trickster's last earthly performance was gloriously horrific. In front of Yun-Jin he tortured and made the most beautiful music using the cries of agony from label's executives. When the performance ended as he went to kill his manager, he was taken by the Fog into the Entity's realm.
