Character Analysis: Evan Macmillan/The Trapper

 

Evan Macmillan, better known as the Trapper, was one of the first Killers included in Dead By Daylight. His use of traps makes him a fiece and difficult Killer to go against, especially since his traps will blend in with the ground and if you're running from him...well, it's not easy to see those traps, so there's a good chance you'll get stuck in one. His primary weapon, what he will whack you with, is the Cleaver.

His Perks include Unnerving Presence, which causes more difficulty in repairs for the survivors when they are in his terror radius, Brutal Strength, which gives Evan the ability to smash pallets, breakable walls, and damage generators with much more efficiency, much faster than before, and Agitation, which causes Evan's movement speed to considerably increase when carrying a survivor to the hook.

Evan is a tragic character, being manipulated and emotionally abused by his father into hurting others, keeping them away from his father's estate. Basically, he did anything and everything his father commanded him to do. He just thought he was protecting his father from these horrible people, when in reality, most of the time they were just curious civilians coming to explore the property, since nobody ever saw the father and son out and about. Eventually, his father was found starved and abandoned, and Evan was gone, never to be seen again.

Character Analysis: Rin Yamaoka/The Spirit

 Rin Yamaoka, or The Spirit, is a frightening killer in skill and appearance. She carries her family's katana as her main weapon, and she has the ability to teleport, going invisible for several seconds before popping back up to scare survivors working on generators. Her Perks include the following: Spirit Fury, which breaks a pallet instantly when one is thrown on her if she has destroyed at least 2 herself, Hex: Haunted Ground, which spawns in two totems, and when one has been cleansed, all survivors locations are revealed to Rin. Finally, Rancor causes a Survivor to become Rin's obsession for the match, and every time a generator is completed, the Obsession themselves are revealed to Rin for a couple seconds. When all generators have been completed, the Obsession's aura is permanently revealed to Rin for the rest of the match, and she is granted the ability to kill the Obsession by her own hand. Rin Yamaoka had a rough upbringing, with her private education and her mothe...

Character Analysis: Cheryl Mason

  Cheryl Mason is a more recently added survivor to Dead By Daylight, included in the Silent Hill DLC, and one that I play as quite often due to her helpful perks. Let's review them, shall we? Her first perk is Soul Guard, which grants Cheryl the Endurance Status effect when she's been healed from the Dying state. The second perk is Blood Pact, and it allows Cheryl to see the Obsession if they have been injured. This doesn't count when Cheryl herself is the Obsession, as she can already see herself. But the Obsession can see when Cheryl is injured. Repressed Alliance is our third and final perk, at least what's unique to Cheryl. It gives Cheryl the ability to block generators after she's worked on them for a certain amount of time, which comes in handy when a Killer is trying to halt your progress. Cheryl started volunteering at a crisis convention center after the horrific death of her father, and she'd also dealt with having to escape from a cult that had tail...
