Cage's Info

Countless awards. Over one hundred films. Nicolas Cage had done it all and seen it all...or so he thought. When a mysterious screenplay for “Descend Beyond” landed on his desk, he signed on without hesitation. While filming, Nick performed his dialogue with gravitas, a dark incantation that rolled off his tongue with ease. He dipped his fingers in a cup of red ink and painted symbols on the stone altar. He was so immersed he barely noticed the tendrils of black Fog slowly creeping toward him...

Cage's Perks

	Dramaturgy	When people bring you on to their project, they do so because of the unexpected magic you bring to your performance. Whenever you are Healthy, Dramaturgy activates: While running, press the Active Ability button to run with knees high for 0.5 seconds to gain a +25 % Haste Status Effect for 2 seconds, followed by one of the following effects: Suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 12 seconds. Extend the duration of the Haste Status Effect for another 2 seconds. Scream, but without notifying the Killer. Receive a random Item of Rare Rarity, with a random selection of Add-ons attached to it, automatically dropping any previously held Item. The same effect cannot happen twice in a row. Dramaturgy causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dramaturgy cannot be used when Exhausted. "Take the part. It's a good movie, he says. What's the worst that can happen?" — Nicolas Cage
	Plot Twist	Big moments are vital, but you know that sometimes an understated read can be just as powerful. Whenever you are in the Injured State, Plot Twist activates: While crouching and motionless, press the Active Ability button to silently enter the Dying State with the following benefits: Suppresses Grunts of Pain. Suppresses Pools of Blood. Grants the ability to fully recover from the Dying State. After full recovery using Plot Twist, you are healed instantly and gain a +50 % Haste Status Effect for 2/3/4 seconds. Plot Twist deactivates after recovering yourself by any means and reactivates once more once the Exit Gates are powered. "I think you'll find this shooting location... captivating." — Pauline Stamper
	Scene Partner	You lock in with your co-star, engaging with and reacting to each other on a higher level. Whenever you are inside the Terror Radius, Scene Partner activates: Looking at the Killer causes you to scream, which reveals their Aura for 3/4/5 seconds. There is a chance of 50 % that you will scream again, extending the Aura-reveal duration by another 2 seconds. Scene Partner has a cool-down of 60 seconds. "This is not in the script!" — Nicolas Cage
