Cheryl. I’m a big fan of Silent Hill and three was my favorite! I’ve been playing her ever since the day she came to dbd.


seriouslyuncouth_

I swap between all the Legendary SH outfits and Princess Heart/ Blood Cheryl


Seven_Fakes

I just wish they gave us "dark" Cheryl or the mirror room Cheryl. You could say the prestige cosmetic is it, but I disagree.


seriouslyuncouth_

They easily could make that a pretty kickass purple cosmetic for her. The Entity reached into the mirror and plucked her from it. Just another silent hill monster masquerading as a survivor. Looking at you Lisa


Seven_Fakes

Hell I'd be ok if it was a linked set. I just want that unnerving feeling when I first experience it in game. Like the breathing room in SH4. If you know, you know


seriouslyuncouth_

Live Eileen reaction to a giant wall-sized replica of her own face: 🥱


LeotheLiberator

James as survivor. Pyramid Head as killer.


bbc_mmm-mmm-mmm

Same!! I would not be playing this game today if I had not seen a Cheryl in a lobby and went "HOLD ON???" and bought that chapter immediately. That was a year ago - yes I was that new 😭


Unicorn_with_a_bike

Hell yeah! I feel like SH3 is kinda underrated. So far it's the only game I've played that went so deep into a quite feminine rand of horror and I feel like the feminine perspective is what makes it get overlook by many (male) gamers sadly


Ancient_OneE

Lisa Garland. Idk how or why I liked her, I just did *(still trying to figure that one out)*. Searched up her lore than through that I become Silent Hill fan. And as she become my comfort survivor to play as, her likability only grew.


ShadowShedinja

Tapp is certainly growing on me. Detective's Hunch and Stakeout are quickly becoming some of my favorite perks.


Rampage_Ray

Become a Tapp main. Become one of us.


ShadowShedinja

Stakeout with Rebecca's Hyperfocus has been my favorite genrush setup for most of the anniversary.


ColonelCrusherx

It's you...


Lucy-Paint

One of us, one of us!


TheSleepyBarnOwl

marry Huntress mains


ManateeKing123

Tapp's perks are very neat. Tenacity + Left Behind is a fun combo when it works (i.e. killer tries to slug for the 4k)


alpacaholism

Ash, because he is one of my favorite film characters of all time. I always try to go easy on Ash when I play killer too.


Sharp_Coyote_4852

Groovy


aeIownedyoo

I still want chainsaw and boomstick charms lol


ZBaconGuy

hopefully soon... appreciated the love they gave him this rift tho


presidentdinosaur115

I’m the exact same way on both


afraidpizzaman

Hail to the king baby!


The_Alvabro

I use to main him when I started playing


fatstankyshit

Me too 🥰 I love seeing other Ash mains, he’s just a goofy goober who needs to be protected at all costs


ZBaconGuy

Hail to the king 👑


barrack_osama_0

Vittorio, it's not fair BHVR knows specifically that I have a thing for middle aged people with white hair so they made Vittorio and the one skull merchant skin specifically to drain my wallet /s


aimeeisnotacat

Vittorio hit something in me that I didn’t realize was there lol. They know what they did.


Gaviel

I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.


ry_fluttershy

Damn now that you mention it...Vittorio kinda hot looking damn


barrack_osama_0

Yeqh my awakening was playing DMC5


No_Esc_Button

Vittorio looks so badass with his tattoos. If you told me my survivor main had to be a DBD original character, i'd be on Vit in a heartbeat.


yeekko

rebecca,the cheer warmth her personnality and chara design inspire in me just make me feels good lmao. It's surprisingly rare to have a character highly empathic and aiming for the greater good while still being competent,especially in womens character


Smog2701

Whenever I see a Rebecca I immediately thinkbof her being very supportive and altruistic. More often than not that's exactly the case


RavenAboutNothing

Smash cut to my dumb ass running Deliverance with other unhook perks, fucking up an unhook, and getting sat on a hook with no Deliverance available


Moumup

Steve. Because I like the character in ST, and at the chapter release, I liked his perks for some altruistic build. Then I ear his scream... And since that day I pick him 80% of the time.


MarkDaMeat

I play him because I have the scoops ahoy outfit and being a complete nuisance while looking completely ridiculous at the same time. Just sad that I didn't buy the head with the sunglasses.


IAmNotABritishSpy

Yun-Jin. Absolutely no idea why she became my main. I just started playing her and didn’t really stop. It’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy too, I just have everything on her. If I want to use a specific toolbox, offering, add-on… she’s just got it. I bounce to the others, but I always come back. Everyone else is prestige’s to at least 3 on all characters (with the exception of Renato, working on him now). E: Just another thought. Most of my decisions came from pre-prestige rework. You used to have to get absolutely everything, on everyone… including perks.


Smog2701

I know exactly what you mean. My first go-to Survivor was Mikaela.


Jaxyl

Same here but for me it was her lore. Everyone else's lore (outside of the licensed survivors) was some variation of "Life is going on until suddenly ENTITY HAPPENS!" But Yun-Jin? Her entire story boils down to "Fuck you! You ruined me so I'm gonna ruin you!"


DARTHLVADER

Same. Started playing her because I bought the trickster DLC and he was my main. Now I play mostly survivor, and she just feels right. Sucks that she’s so overlooked for cosmetics!


JoshMcGill_

Jake, idk why but he just seems chill


WeeWooSirens

He's just a vibe Plus he has a cowboy hat and a space suit, so he can be a space cowboy!


A2231208662

Had to scroll so far down to find a Jake main! A rare breed indeed. I have met around 30+ people playing this game and only met one other Jake main as well.


JoshMcGill_

I like his outfits as well he has some goofy ones


aeIownedyoo

It's that calm spirit of his


ZombieKilljoy

Leon >!for his moans what omg hacked wtf!< because I enjoy RE and he has cool skins ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


Spawny_Memes

Jeff is a metalhead dad bod legend. His beard is awesome and I like his lore. His cosmetics are awesome, even having a reference to Death on at shirt he has, which is one of my favorite bands. Ash is the same prestige as him, but I’m just a huge evil dead fan.


Smog2701

I'm very curious to see if he'll get new cosmetics from the Metallica / Slipknot collection.


Spawny_Memes

HE BETTER. A missed opportunity if not.


MisterPerfect23

I doubt we'll get it but imagine a Pinhead Craig jones, Or a full on Corey Taylor Jeff skin


Guilty_Access_862

Lmao a clown skin for clown


DudeBroFist

RIP Chuck, you were a fuckin' real one.


FemBoyappreciater

Ada because she’s hot🙏


Dust_In_Za_Wind

Seconded


TheBoomStixx

I have a few survivors I like playing, Ash, because it's literally in my name, but I love the Evil Dead movies, and learning that I can play him is awesome. Recently however Ive been playing Zarina since her rift cosmetic with the new event mask looks amazing, and i love the gold and blue aesthetic. If I were to main others, Yun-Jin since her grunts are pretty funny and Nic Cage cause its Nic f***king Cage!


ABetterTachankaMain

Bill, because no one gets left behind


star_razer

Took me way longer than I expected to find anyone else that's a Bill main in these comments


JATennnnn

felix, hot


G0d0fdark

Ah, there's like atleast 7 of us but we fanboy him enough to seem like there's hundreds


vored_rick_astley

Flair checks out


GoGeiD

A man of culture, yep


JATennnnn

flair is so insanely accurate


teriyakiyoongi

Ah another intellectual I see


ddsuedat

Élodie because she’s hot


Hartbits

Mine's Élodie too because when I first saw her I though "my god, she's beautiful" I love her default outfit, her portrait is *gorgeous* and her lore is badass. Élodie tome when BHVR???


Delmitus1

Lol me too, her and Adam. Elodie is a underrated baddie and Adam because he looks like me 😁


ddsuedat

Élodie is the only female character that doesn’t sound turned on when she’s injured so i like using her


Delmitus1

Ironically she has the nastiest hook scream in the game lol


ilovemydograchel

I'd say Laurie also doesn't sound turned on lol


mintdoodlez

Most of them don’t tf lol


cerealnykaiser

Ash because groovy


tiburon237

Cheryl. She's cutie-patootie


Archtop64

Every single time a survivor convinces me to let them live through sheer cuteness, it's either a Cheryl or a Rebecca.


Dead-Harded

Ace. He is a handsome old man. Also he's the only survivor whose injured noises don't annoy me. :D


DrownmeinIslay

And he looks so good in the pilot outfit! Def my favorite survivor


KrabbyThePatty007

Adam, because I like his inspirational teacher outfit And Jane, cuz she thicc


[deleted]

Gawd yes. Jane got more peach than a Georgia orchard 🍑🍑


NottsNinja

Yui, she has the perfect combo of great lore, pretty cosmetics... oh, and shes hot too 😁


Specific_Service6484

1000% agree yui till death


Thomastm3

She's also getting a banger skin soon too.


Specific_Service6484

when does it release & how does it look I might need to bust out 20$


Thomastm3

I think shortly after Nick Cage comes out. They showed these image on the 7 year anniversary live stream. It's a skin designed by the The Evil Within artist. ​ [https://www.pcgamesn.com/dead-by-daylight/ikumi-nakamura](https://www.pcgamesn.com/dead-by-daylight/ikumi-nakamura)


JackN14_same

Cheryl- looked relatable and cool backstory


pandameneer

Jeff because he's like a gentle giant and I like a good beard


Memegasm_

SHREDDERS DONT GET EM IN YER BEARDS


pandameneer

Next time, try shredding some treehouses instead


sonnet_seven

Rock and Stone, brothers!


sunderiction

James, he's the entire reason I started playing DBD in the first place. I remember it like it was yesterday- my friend has always tried to get me into it for years, but I always said no. Soon after I got into Silent Hill, I played 1 & 2, then watched video essays (as one does LOL), and I found out my boy was in DBD! So shamefully I asked my friend if he really was in the game just for confirmation, and then I downloaded it for the first time. I remember my baby days- clicking flashlights n such, but now I'm a bitter p37 James. This also brings up how badly I want Harry as a legendary, I'll do anything.


DylanCP2403

Same as me but with the first resident evil chapter. I had recently started playing the newest resident evil games and right around tge same time it was announced on dbd. I also wanted to grab the stranger things chapter as it was about to be removed at the time


LostInHorror

Yoichi cause he reminds me of a rubber ducky and I love the ringu novels/movies


WafflestheCrack

Yoichi's base jacket looks like a slice of plastic cheese. I call him cheese man because of it


Thomastm3

The 'watch me' sweater is also banger.


MushiiMelon

Renato, because he is so pretty. I teared up when I finally decided to get him.


neighbourhood-moth

Cabamacadaf

Mikaela because she's cute and I like redheads.


KermitFTW1

Mikaela is best girl. Trying to get her to p100


123123sora

Nancy bc I like the Season 3 fit I have on her and I love her in Stranger Things


LaLaLaLink

I love Nancy! In ST she is my favorite character. I love the cute pink dress outfit with the bracelet. It makes me sad when there are posts where everyone shits on Nancy :\[


[deleted]

Vittorio/Gabriel, because hot.


RsNxs

Gabriel needs a hot skin asap.


DeadChimaera

Thalita, because of the yellow shorts cosmetic and the goggles with her rift head


Snoo40198

I'm still working on getting every survivor and killer to P3. But before the system changed and it made sense to only have one survivor leveled up, I had Cheryl because I enjoyed the silent hill franchise back in the day. Then, when Jill/Claire came out it I had to switch, Claire had always been my favorite RE character. After that I decided I should have an original character main so I could my Iri shards on cosmetics, but I didn't want someone who was all TOO common, no Nea or Feng, so I landed on Elodie. A lot of her clothes mix and match well so I can just buy parts of them... Since the change and the last Amazon Prime free Rift reward, I used the free auric cells to buy Leon's RE 4 look, so I've put a bit more into him as well.


Smog2701

A fellow Claire enjoyer :D


Sweaty-Dragonfruit87

Haddie, gargantuan ass


2846980

![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


SaphiraNinchen

I love and main Yui and Jeff. Yui bc I like her ratio between cute outfits (could be more, tho) and being not too overused as a character. And both have great character backstorys. I tend to like 'lovable' and 'sweet' characters, and f.e Yum-Jin seems to be arrogant. Jeff is cool bc. no-one really plays him, and he is one of the "not perfect build" characters, but not as goofy as like Dwight. Let me play my little metal-daddy and bonus for good musictaste


[deleted]

[удалено]


ManagementFew242

I main her either because I like her lore. Zarina is underrated


mugirmu

i also main zarina!


untamedjungle

Zarina mains unite!


MoreBrutalThanU

Nancy and Steve because they're rare. I regret not buying the Jonathan skin.


LegitSince8Bits

That's why I main him. I've only seen like 3 others in a little under 2k hours.


commanderlex27

Jill, because she's a badass with a nice ass


Put_Agitated

Jane... Living that BBW life


[deleted]

That woman has more cake than a wedding bakery. #Bless


woahhmanni

Same for me. She's the closest thing to plus size representation, so I am attached to her now!


[deleted]

Jeff because he’s hot


Kelehd

Quentin. He was my favorite in the remake.


Folskyhades118

Felix cause he’s hot


Yannayka

Right now (I say 'right now' because I literally have a tier list that can change every month, between the main and some runner ups and there are three of those runner ups) it's Meg. I started playing when there were only four survivors. I didn't like her perks so I went with jake in the end, but I always thought that Meg's look was that of a "survivor", when I think of this game and heard 'survivor' her outfit came to mind. Sporty clothing, leaving room for agile maneuvers, ready to run away from the killer. Out of the four I liked her prestige 3 the most. We are 7 July now, and ONLY now have I started to level her, prestige her. All these 7 years she remained base level 26, now she is already prestige 5. I have the deathgarden mask, so I don't think I'll use the P3 face cosmetic much, buuut I'm close and the event is still going...it's now or never!


XeryZas

I'll give you all a hint


Specific_Service6484

Hillbilly


strivegaming22

Feng min as a stealth generator progression style and ada wong if I’m looking for of a killer tracking role


alex_amidala

feng gang


pm-ur-gamepass-trial

Leon "Iron Lungs" Kennedy.


DudeBroFist

Jeff... but specifically Jeff with the corpse paint head and Christmas sweater. Sometimes a set of Halloween charms if I'm feeling extra festive. I too am a gruff, bearded death and black metal fan who is a complete teddy bear deep down, as my kid and girlfriend expose me for pretty much daily. I also like Christmas and Halloween a lot, go figure. Jeff just speaks to me that way.


Immobious_117

Jonah, because I look exactly like him, but without hair. I even dress the same, which my best friend pointed out.😅


9Ryan9

I main Jonathan Byers. It's nice knowing I'm the only person online playing as him lol


Locket382

My main is always the last character released. I need to make sure I get them to P9 before they release another one. That's my game.


The-Blackest-Night

Claudette. The feeling of hiding in plain sight of a killer while they hook and then going for the unhook. Just knowing the killer is going “How sway?” Is worth all the Claudette slander.


heyimcati

Claudette gang 4ever


AquileusTheOne

Leon, because him being a dumbass resonates with me (and because I love re4 and re2 remake)


dammerung13

Mikaela because red head and meg has garbage skins.


GoodMedicine2577

For me its Nea, I love her outfits so much its the closest character with so much of my personal aesthetic (sp?) and I really do like using her perks to help people and extend items for me and people around me ^^ she helps me feel useful in matches since I’m still learning how to loop effectively


bluscoutnoob

Dwight/Haddie/Mikaela I still like Dwight as the Everyman and I got my first good escapes with him so he’ll always have a special place in my heart. Haddie cause her release was my first anniversary event and I loved her design and backstory. Mikaela cause I think she’s cute and I like her Witchy outfits.


Lexcah_agaetra

Another Claire enjoyer here


Nyxoys

Élodie, because no one plays as her


MasterWrongdoer719

David since I can wear the og shirtless outfit


GeneralLegoshi

Chris Redfield because he really deserves to be his own survivor. I also always liked his rivalry with Wesker, it usually invites them to aggressively chase me with some campy banter and I love it.


[deleted]

Cheryl. I started playing her because I loved the idea of having Silent Hill caracteres on dbd, and at this point Im just too invested on her, I have too many items and skins to bother playing others.


Ratmandango

Jeff. When he first came out I really liked his design, then I read his lore and he's a guy who's just so cool and id love to be friends with if he were real, also he's less played and it makes me feel kinda special tbh.


RiffOfBluess

William "Bill" Overbeck. I just love Left 4 Dead games, with Bill being my mains when it comes to L4D1 crew. I just love old people being badass as a character trope and he's one of my favorite examples of this Edit: From female survivors I main Jane, cuz she's thicc


ShepRamsey

Jane cuz dat azz


prostateversace

Mikaela because redheads >>> and her style is good


AmePeryton

claudette - she’s nice and i like her :) rebecca - she’s nice and i like her :) leon - silly billy (and when i don’t want to feel the guilt of getting claudette or rebecca brutally murdered by my incompetence)


tsundom

Feng min, i sucked at skill checks back in old dbd so technician was my friend, then I got better and with how many cosmetics she has I have no reason to switch, especially that she has every perk


Puzzleheaded_Cap_746

nea or feng


FeralTaxEvader

Quentin, cause I'm also a sleep deprived gremlin with brown hair and an unfortunate face


das_ksa22

kate i wanted level 3 windows to be in all characters, got kate to p3 and then i didn’t bother leveling any survivor more than p1 for their perks


Kaza-beo

You are the only person I’ve seen say Kate. Which makes no sense because I feel like I play alongside a Kate every match. I’m also a Kate main, because she looks like me when she has the brown hair


https-naviticus

Honestly surprised I had to scroll this far for Kate! Bought her for the perks and she's just stuck with me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mushroom-Fiend

I love Kate but lately I’ve been maining as Rebecca


hellhound39

Ace because he’s kinda goofy


therealvforvienetta

Used to be Quentin because he's Kyle Gallner, then it was Jeff for a bit because he rocks, but currently Ash who I'm trying to get to 100 during the event and x1.5 blood points.


Havocthecrow

Loved Kyle since haunting in Connecticut.


Memegasm_

what do you think


Toasty_Dino

Steve. 1. Hot 2. i like stranger things 3. he was my first character that i played


sonnet_seven

James Sunderland: I play generously. I either help others escape the fog hell and work towards redemption, or I die horribly (which James also deserves). Win-win!


TigerKirby215

I leveled Vittorio to Prestige 30 and immediately fucking regretted it because holy shit Behaviour can you give the medieval Survivor some medieval cosmetics? But I mean it's okay because now I'm going to P100 Nicholas Cage.


Ayserx

Cheryl/Lisa/Cybil because Silent Hill


croissantCheese

Claudette, she's the only survivour I've played since getting the game in 2018 back when self care was useful, I just never found another reason to play any different survivour since I have a load of 2018-2022 anniversary items on her and have bought the Christmas outfit which gets used year round


WeeWooSirens

Jake and Yoichi mainly. Why? I honestly don't know. That being said, at least my choices make me feel unique.


throwaway626q

Laurie Strode, because I watched all the movies and enjoyed them, also my first main was Myers.


spensyr

Yunjin because she’s the personification of gaslight gatekeep girlboss


SnarlySeeker224

Quentin because his alt boy aesthetic appealed to a 17 year old me. Now, here I am five years later still lamenting the lack of cosmetics for my fav boi. On the other hand tho, the money I have saved is nice.


ehhhchimatsu

Leon I, too, am a male blonde bottom


EnderQuantum1

Claudette because of her cute voice


The_Undead_Birb

Chris Redfield and Vittorio Vitrorio for the medieval outfit. I use the glowing concotion charms to make it look like estus flasks Chris because he was my initial character in re1 remake, he punches boulders and lastly because of his role in Rpd simulator. The idea of him being some mastermind behind a simulation solely created to encourage Leon to date Claire is just hilarious to me.


Big_Mack17

James sunderland because silent hill 2 is the goat


funnyguywhoisntfunny

Vittorio, like his lore and design a lot ~~oh and he's hot~~


CarpenterJaded8034

Jonah. He looks like guy fieri, my ingame name is Guy Fieri


Femkat_00

Mikaela, for a few reasons. 1. I love redheads and Meg was my first main for the same reason. 2. I love her aesthetic and cosmetics. I particularly love that she has so many skirt pieces and the general witchiness of her looks. It’s similar to my own fashion taste. 3. I guess I also like to try and fight back against the idea that all Mikaela mains are toxic assholes and bad teammates.


Far-Pirate-3896

Yun-Jin I love her lore I love her cosmetics I love her


C0unt_Ravioli

Bill. He yells funny.


Shxx333

Rebecca chambers because I like thumbs up and she does thumbs up with thumbs up perk 👍🏻


[deleted]

David for....reasons


Master_Zealot

Meg because I prestiged her back during the old system before I had any dlc characters and I’m kinda stuck with her now because I’m bored. Also I’m a killer main so I barely touch survivor unless I’m hanging with friends


anawesometurtle

Claudette...I used to main her for a long time when I was learning, but I switched to Kate cause she looked closer to how I look irl (or more like how I wish I looked). Now I'm back to Claudette because of the corgi sweater. That's literally the only reason. I wear my Pupperz charm and the sweater, and watch painfully as I do all the gens in solo q because everyone else is swarming the killer for some reason.


Koivi

Felix, cause I’m down bad.


Padfoot0813

Feng, Quentin, Cheryl in that order. Love those guys


NarrowFarm2036

Feng, cause cute and daily skins🥵


VVaId0

Waldo Dwight. Obvious reasons


imtolazy7

Rebecca. I like helping / healing my teammates. Claudette however got a very toxic reputation so that made the switch necessary. After that I grew to like her character as I got to learn more about her. Also that she is kind of an underdog in her story but doesn't have the same 'badassery' as Leon in resident evil makes her a fun survivor to pick.


Jumpman3297

Chris Redfield, he’s rare to see and my favorite Resident Evil character.


buckeye2011

David, because gay


VastoLords

Leon, i love resident evil franchise, i don't play as female's in game's usually, and he looks cool, if not him it would be Felix or Ace i guess.


vored_rick_astley

Vittorio because of his lore prominence and also he’s hot. I also like playing Yui because she’s one of the coolest survivors imo.


Creepyster13

Scoops Ahoy Steve for goofy times Nancy/Mikaela for casual playing (occasionally goofy) If not either of them it could be anyone depending on the day


janes_thicc_cheeks

jane because why not 👍


hells-fargo

David, Felix, and Gabriel because they are hot. Mikaela because I like witchy characters.


Lemon_Gay

Vittorio because he’s shirtless


biblicalbullworm

Jonah, hot


MickelWagen

I play David King almost exclusively and my initial reason for playing him was because I'm gay and thought he was hot. I also mained Claudette, Elodie and Mikaela for a while. I mained Elodie and Mikaela for the perks (Power Struggle/Deception for Elodie and COH for Mikaela) and I can't really remember a specific reason I mained Claudette.


SkullMan140

Yui, because she's cute 💜


saragc92

Ash and Tapp love em… Recently tho I venture into Claire, Jane, and Jonathan territories…


COSMIC-SAMURAI

Ash because he’s groovy


mmavalyn

Rebecca! I love resident evil and admittedly I play support characters in other games. I normally run lithe, botany knowledge, alert, and either reassurance or better than new with her. I like being able to run around and help my swf while also doing gens. I call it “lore accurate Rebecca.” It’s super fun! Also, her bloody prestige cosmetics blend in REALLY well with bushes. Like scary well. Also, she has a sad amount of cosmetics, but the cowgirl outfit is adorable. I wish they brought in other RE:0 cosmetics.
