Survivor 05; Builderman

​

I wouldn't describe my moments with him as "boring", more like "chill". I know the general image the fandom have of this character and I understand very well why they say it, but well, I am indifferent about it.

I see him as a character who constantly has something to do. Build, keep building when the killer breaks one (which is very likely to happen), and if that's not the case, you can go make generators or go help your teammates.

That's all, and that's why some might describe him as "boring," but in my case, I see it as a "ok". He doesn't have a particularly noteworthy M4 either, so whatever.

Perhaps I see it this way because after going through the suffering I went through with Taph, Builder was like a hug for the soul.

It has happened to me that in the last 10 levels I suffered a beautiful focus, and I'm not just saying that because yes; in a server, in every game the killer went straight for me for first and wouldn't go against anyone else, and again, team left me to die (like Taph).

At the time I didn't understand, I was really frustrated, but today, months later (when I'm LV up the killers and currently specifically John Doe) I understood the reason: for the killer, Builder is god damn annoying. His turrets, you know, are annoying, especially when you're using one of the slowest and (in my opinion) most difficult killer to use. Same as Taph; you stop chasing him for a second and he's already set a death trap for you.

Now, moving on to the lore, I love what the devs have come up with. Builderman, one of the admins and the main creator, whose laziness, that let his colleagues do all the work, doomed all Robloxia. Everything we discovered with the Jane Doe update.

I knew from the very beginning what the Devs were trying to criticize; the current Roblox, the one that is destroying everything Roblox once was, with its greed and laziness. I think it's an interesting way to criticize Roblox from within Roblox.

That's why, when drawing Builder, I decided to use David, the CEO of Roblox, as a reference (Look at his facial features, such as his ears, for example)

But anyways; what do you think about Builderman?

Our baby, whom I decided to draw with burn marks for (obvious reasons)

The moment I decided to use Elliot, I knew I'd have to get used to the focus. Still, I must be lucky, because I haven't struggled with it too much (unlike another survivor I'll draw later 🫠).

It's fun to use; it's a character that keeps you constantly busy: doing generators because his passive ability, accompanying and throwing pizza to survivors, and escaping if the killer catches a eye on you. The truth is the developers did a great job representing him.

The moment you put on Elliot, you feel like the mother of the group. Not only that, but I've seen other survivors (usually sentinels) approach you to give you a medkit even if you're at full health and then leave, as an offering for your help.

Luckily, with Elliot I haven't suffered as much from the epidemic of bad teams that let you die. <"3

He's a balanced character. Yes, it's just a matter of learning how to throw the pizza, but that's about it; the rush has saved me more than once. I've seen people (after I leveled Elliot up to 100) say that Elliot is very OP and it's unfair to the killer , and listening to them is like: ????? (Skill issue fr)

There's not much to say about his backstory. It's something we can feel close to: a pizzeria employee who has his father and sister, and nothing else. Not a hacker, not a crazy gambler, just him working at his dad's pizzeria and suffering from an accident like any tiring customer service job could happen and be dragged away by the devil afterwards. (I feel so sorry for his little sister and father)

I like that there's a small nod to that within the gameplay itself. (His dialogue with 007n7)

But anyway, I'd better ask you: What do you think of Elliot?

Btw, reading the rules I saw that you can self-promote as long as you don't do that in every post. So, if you want, you can follow me in my IG where I upload these Forsaken drawings and more: @pastelito_curioseando

(Mods, tell me if this isn't allowed though 🤧)
