Dead By Daylight Fan-made DLC: Royal Blood
Introducing: “The Usurper” A Fan Made Killer for DBD
Realm: Romanesque Castle, Romania
Lore: Lyra Tenebris was the true heir to the dukedom, or so she believed. Her mother worked as a maid for Duke Marius Romanesque. She wasn’t very good at her job and had a sense of entitlement which she passed on to her daughter. The Duke’s alleged Bastard. She was a social climber who had a pregnancy out of wedlock and decided to claim the duke as the father, hoping that he would leave his wife for her or at least become a mistress. She could remove the wife later. Sadly it was not to be and she was still stuck as a maid albeit on a very tight leash. When her daughter was born she decided that she would help her rise to power telling young Lyra that her father was the Duke and as such she was royalty and that they were in hiding as staff to protect them for those who would harm them. Lyra beloved every word her mother had said and tried to learn to become royalty. After all she was the only heir. Until IT came. Sophia Romanesque. The Duke’s other daughter and claimed rightful heir. Lyra was angry. She was older she should have been the heir. Nope. She was stuck as the brat’s maid. She asked her mother for an ideas and was advised to be their friend. That way she would learn all the things the child would be taught and look for ways to arrange accidents without suspicion.
So Lyra took the task to heart, learning all she could and trying to off her competition. She was unable to kill her but due to her diligence in watching the heiress she began to gain some popularity among the court. Seeing that she was getting supporters she began to spread that she was the duke’s bastard and should be the rightful heir. She also informed others not to tell the girl as she didn’t need the stress. For a time her plan worked. She spread doubt among the court and gathered some supporters as well as some money. It’s not a crime, it’s rightfully hers. However the duke still refused to acknowledge their relation. So she decided to gain her birth certificate to show him. They can’t deny it then. What she saw them she was shocked.
She wasn’t related to him at all. Her life was a lie. She couldn’t believe it. The documents had to be faked. She is the rightful heir and she will not be stopped. That’s when she found a mysterious card was addressed to her. It said she could be the ruler with their help she just had to meet them. She agreed and met with them. They said that they were a group that protects the royal family and because she was a “part” of the royal family they would give her the throne. They just needed a few concessions for their work. She agreed and together they started a coup, murdering everyone in the castle except there supporters and the princess who had managed to escape. No matter she will be taken care of soon enough. She has a kingdom to rule.
She was a Tyrant hated by the people but too feared to be taken out. She published books that showed her as a lovely Duchess and executed anyone who said anywise. The people lost their livelihoods to her tributes and spending. All hope was lost until the rebels appeared. Claiming to have the Rightful Princess Sophia inspired hope to fight against the Tyrant Tenebris. She would not have it. She sent out her agents to destroy the rebels and capture Sophia. The public would no longer defy here when their precious little princess is hung from the gallows. However it was not as easy as it should be. Captured rebels would die before giving up important information and the population was begin to revolt. She was the Duchess they should not be defying her. It’s all Sophia’s fault. If she would just come out of hiding and die like she was supposed to then this wouldn’t be happening. She just needed to find her. While she was fuming to herself in her castle a strange being appeared planting visions of hooks into her mind. Hooks she could hang Sophia from and any others who defied her. The strange being beckoned her forward with each step implanting more vision and power into Lyra who eagerly accepted. Long Live the Entity. Long Live Duchess Lyra Tenebris.
Lyra Tenebris is medium height with pale skin and a dancer’s build. She has dark green eyes and long black hair in an elegant low bun. She has dark red lipstick on and a light pink blush. She wears a red Tudor dress with mysterious dark splotches and black heals hidden under her dress. She wears a garish gold crown with an emerald necklace around her neck and carries a bloody bladed gold scepter in her hand.

Introducing: Sophia Romanesque
Sophia Romanesque never imagined her life would turn out like this. Hiding in the shadows of the kingdom she was supposed to rule, helping the resistance against her alleged half-sister and keeping out of sight in order to live to see another day. When she was young she wanted for nothing but always put others first like it had been ingrained in her since childhood. That’s probably why she kept around her former personal servant who constantly tried to kill her. She knew she shouldn’t but she was always told to help others even at her own expense so she was nice and kind to her. No longer. Her loyalty is to the rebellion and all those who would see the usurper overthrown, and today should be the day. She wandered around the empty corridors she had used to traverse, headed toward the throne room and where her target lied but the corridors seemed to twist and turn with every step she took, but she would not let this deter her. Too many people counted on her killing the usurper for her to give up due to some vertigo and flashing lights. She kept traveling even as the corridors seemed to end and trees began to emerge. She saw a campfire in the distance and kept going. Maybe whoever is there can help her.
Sophia’s perks, Keep to the Shadows, Nobility, and For My people help her escape the wrath of the false ruler.
