Gideon Voss - The Cinder

The Newest Killer coming to this update, The Cinder, real name Gideon Voss is a upcoming killer for CHAPTER 3: Ashes in the Cornfield. He is a aera-control killer who can place down flames from his pitchfork and unleash a pillar of Flames to cause Survivors to panic.

His personal perks, Curse: Burn the Harvest, Fuel for the Flame and Smoke Chokes has a Curse Totem punish grouped Survivors, cause Altars with high progress to regress faster after injuring a Survivor, and causes Survivors to make a loud noise for a duration after exiting lockers.

Lore: "Gideon Voss was once a struggling farmer living on the outskirts of Hollowmere County. Generations of drought destroyed his crops year after year, while nearby corporations bought up farmland and poisoned the remaining soil with industrial runoff.

The final blow came during harvest season.

A fire erupted across the fields one dry October night. The townsfolk claimed Gideon started it himself for insurance money. They locked him inside his own barn while the flames spread. No one came to help. As his skin burned and smoke filled his lungs, Gideon screamed not for mercy—but for revenge.

Something answered. When the barn collapsed, the fire did not die. It stood up. Straw fused to charred flesh. Rusted farming hooks pierced blackened limbs. A pumpkin-orange glow burned behind a stitched burlap face. The Cinder walked out of the ashes. And Hollowmere burned with him. When the last farmhouse collapsed into embers, a thick black Fog rolled through the scorched cornfields.

The fire welcomed it."

His Voice: Gideon is a classic, brutal slasher brought to life with a elemental twist. He should sound deep, subterranean, and gravelly, like stones grating together or heavy timbers shifting in a dying fire. Layered underneath is his heavy, resonant vocal cords should be a subtle texture of crackling flames, snapping embers, and dry rustle of charred straw and burlap. When he speaks it sounds as though the air itself is superheated and scorching, causing Survivors to gasp for air.
