Laurie's Sole Survivor perk decreases the ranges of the killer's aura reading ability for every survivor that has died, making it harder to find her the more people die.With her unique perks unlocked, Meg will have an edge becoming the Final Girl being a faster and more stealthy runner means that all things being equal, Meg will give players who favor avoidance a slight edge over the other characters.
Dragged Off to Hell: Kate Denson's backstory suggests that this is how the survivors were taken by the Entity to its realm, while Haddie was dragged into the Realm by tendrils.
If Kate Denson's backstory is believed, these survivors may have stumbled into a sigil or a site where the Entity promptly abducted them and tortured them with its games after they accidentally caught its attention. Don't Go in the Woods: Dwight, Meg, Claudette, Jake, and Kate were abducted while they were in a forest.Determinator: None of the survivors are willing to surrender to their situation and will do what it takes to survive and escape.
DEAD BY DAYLIGHT NEW SURVIVOR SERIES
Even more confusing is that it also includes Leon, Jill, Ada, Chris, Sheva, Claire and Rebecca into the fray despite none of them having canonically died in their home series making it a Zig-Zagged trope. Whether they actually died and are stuck in purgatory (in the case for Adam and Élodie, since Yun-Jin probably wouldve survived if only Ji-Woon was taken) or The Entitys intervention guaranteed their survival is left ambiguous.
More recent characters, such as Adam, Élodie, and Yun-Jin are taken right when theyre about to die, with the implication that they would have died for real if The Entity didnt intervene. However, many of the original survivors are stated to have simply "Gone Missing," and several killers (such as The Cannibal and The Clown) are taken while they're alive, suggesting that death is not a prerequisite to being pulled into the Entity's realm and both survivors and killers are selected at random. The further addition of David Tapp and Amanda Young, both dead in their home franchise, seems to confirm it outright. The inclusion of Bill might be hinting that all the survivors died on their own before the Entity somehow ensnared them and forced them to spend their afterlives playing its sadistic game. There's no escaping the Entity and its killers, not even through death. Even if the survivors manage to leave, they end up back at the beginning at the campfire, forced to escape again. Cosmic Plaything: In the lore from the official website, the survivors are brought back to life if they are killed and are forced to try to escape again over and over. Conservation of Ninjutsu: Brutally enforced despite the illogical nature of the trials, where the Survivors are utterly helpless to fight back and escape their pursuers despite massively outnumbering them and potentially having highly experienced fighters among their ranks. Any of those things might be enough to escape otherwise certain death, but the odds are. Controllable Helplessness: A carried survivor can struggle a hooked survivor has a slight chance to jump off the hook a downed survivor can crawl. Bill is adjusted to violence due to his time in Vietnam, and David King is combative and lives for it. Blood Knight: Bill, Feng Min, and David King aren't scared of the realm and are ready for a challenge.
