My Headcannons, and how I see the Characters

Up top is a drawing I did of the babies :3 it's not too horrible I don't think, but I realized it might be necessary, especially for Danny since not as many people have played Dead By Daylight.

I know how important it is to like the writers version of your favourite characters, so here's a little sneak peak into their personalities, quirks, etc. so you can know if you'll enjoy this book just a little bit better. This will also help you to identify foreshadowing for the next character to arrive, and it might just help you to like the characters more!

Ghostface - Danny 'Jed Olsen' Johnson : He's a cold-hearted killer with a thirst for fame and recognition. He wants everyone to know who he is, and he wants everyone to fear him. He's addicted to the looks of fear his victims wear when he calls them, and has pictures pasted all over the walls of his old, run-down shack. He's upbeat, playful and mischievous, but he can have a kind heart if he really cares about you. He's about 98% quiet, only loud when he wants to be, and the old 'creaky floorboard upstairs' is one of his favourite ways to scare someone he's hunting. He laughs in the faces of anyone who tries to fight back, knowing full-well they have 0 chance at actually doing so, at least in most cases. Once he's actually chasing someone he gets a little overexcited and clumsy, tripping way too much for his own good; he's lucky he's fast, or else he'd lose most of his victims. In one word, once you get to know him he's a straight up vibe, pulling pranks and hanging out with you as if he hadn't buried a knife in someone's back an hour earlier. Even if you're friends, he'll still call you with his voice changer and try to scare the living shit out of you, but you see through him after a while. A playful flirt, he loves using nicknames like 'Sweetheart', 'Honey' or 'Doll' and laughing if your face goes red. A little too touchy for his own good with no care for other's personal space- he won't hesitate to sling an arm around your shoulder when you're chilling around, or get up in your face if you're bothering him.

The Shape - Michael Audrey Myers : He spends his free time stalking, planning, getting to know his surroundings and memorizing places where he'd have the disadvantage. He's dead silent despite his size, but not as quick on his feet as people like Ghostface. In a show of strength he'd kick your ass in mere seconds. He's strong, to say the least. He seems to have no other reason for killing other than to satisfy the Shape within him, which usually comes out naturally after a few days without a kill or when someone is particularly disrespectful towards him or places, people and things he holds dear to his heart like the forest he would play in as a child; the one place where he made real, happy memories before killing Judith and the rest of his family. Doesn't speak, but that's a choice. He will speak in very, very rare situations, but don't count on ever hearing his voice in the span of your lifetime. He prefers to write or even sign with the little ASL knowledge he has. Similar to his rare talking, you probably won't ever see his face unless you rip his mask off yourself, but to that you'd better had a pretty brutal death wish. Even after you become better friends with the giant he'll still be cold and quiet, barely responsive other than the slightest nod or shake of his head, maybe the tightening of his fists if you're extra lucky. It takes a lot of practice and time to learn how to read Michael. He gets overstimulated very easily, and when he's overstimulated he gets a little stabby. He's surprisingly good at crafts like pottery or paper-mache.

Jason Voorhees : Has a deep respect for the beauty of the forest, and will slice you into bits if you disrespect it. It's been his home for his entire life and he'll fight for it's safety. A little scary looking because he's such a tank, but he's got a kind heart if you show him and what he loves enough care. He's honestly a little shy and jumpy, especially around large bodies of water or things that trigger bad memories. He's a fiend for setting traps and exercising his brain by 'securing' your house with rope traps, nets and sometimes even the occasional bear trap- watch your step! He's a gentle giant, to say the least, and loves gardening and anything similar. Won't speak, doesn't even know if he can. He can make sounds like grunts or coughs but doesn't know how to make himself speak. He knows everything about survival from dressing wounds to tying knots to CPR. He's afraid of his own strength, always scared to hurt the few he cares for. If he truly cares for you he'll be at your side as much as possible, he feels a moral obligation to keep you safe. He hears the voice of his mother inside his head, and she tells him who to trust and who not to trust, even if she's wrong from time to time. If it weren't for her voice you'd have been butchered in seconds, so you even speak to her from time to time as if she's actually there- Jason appreciates that.
