Robbie White, also known as the Axe Boy, is a Difficulty Level 2 Hunter available for purchase after the completion of the prologue. He is one of 29 playable Hunters added to Identity V.

If you see my sister, please tell her Robbie is doing just fine and that he's been waiting for her all this time. —Robbie White (Deduction Star 2021)

Appearance

Robbie is a short, petite, headless child with sickly, bluish skin, and sharp, gnarled tree branches growing and jutting out of his neck.

He wears an old set of blue dungarees with a large hole in the left knee over a black-and-white striped shirt with long sleeves, a matching sock on his left foot, and a bare right foot. A burlap sack with a stitched split resembling a mouth is also tied over where his head should be, with the frayed ends flying and the sack secured with a twine rope. He grasps a relatively large Carpenter's axe with a wooden handle and a black, single-bladed, rusty head wrapped in bloody, white linen bandages in his right hand, nearly concealed by the frayed, flying ends from his sack.

Gameplay

The Axe Boy is a Hunter who can increase his movement speed, decrease Survivor movement speed, and has a ranged attacking potential. He starts each game with multiple pines that spawn automatically around the map, each having a circular area of effect, in which small flames will spawn and circle around, which he can pull towards him in a straight line, damaging any Survivor they touch, or boosting his movement speed if it reaches him. Any Survivor who leaves any circular area of effect without dismantling the pine within will have their movement speed reduced. He is also able to set down roads, which drastically increase his movement speed when he is on said road.

External Traits & Abilities

Below is a list of Axe Boy's intrinsic traits and abilities. For more in-depth information, please check the individual pages.

External Traits & Abilities
Trait	Description
Corrupt Area	As time goes by, the Peaceful Pine seedlings will grow and expand their roots to form a Corrupt Area. As the seedlings grow, two Resentful Souls will converge unconsciously in the area. When there are multiple Corrupt Areas formed by Peaceful Pines overlapping, a Restful Road will be formed between every 2 Peaceful Pines. Resentful Soul Revolves around Peaceful Pines, but when a Survivor who is still mobile leaves the Corrupt Area, Resentful Souls in the Corrupt Area will fly toward the Survivor and revolve around them for 30 seconds. Each Survivor may have a maximum of 2 Resentful Souls revolving around them. Restful Road A road area formed by the intertwining roots of Peaceful Pines. Robbie receives a large increase in Movement Speed and all Interaction Speed when he is on the Restful Road. When any of the Peaceful Pines at either end of the Restful Road is destroyed, the Restful Road will disappear.
Endless Growth	At the beginning of each match, several Peaceful Pine seedlings will grow in the area, and a maximum of 6 Peaceful Pines can be present in one match. Survivors can destroy mature Peaceful Pines to banish the corresponding Corrupt Area and Resentful Souls and either obtain a 30 second window where Resentful Souls won't be able to approach them, or dispel all Resentful Souls on them. However, destroying a Peaceful Pine will provide with an indication of the Survivor's location. Destroyed Peaceful Pines will leave a branch for Robbie. Robbie can also obtain a branch from a matured Peaceful Pine in order to plant a new Peaceful Pine.
Ability	Presence	Description
Dispel Souls	0	When Robbie is in the Corrupt Area or close to a Survivor who has been possessed by a Resentful Soul, he can order the Resentful Soul to fly toward him after a short delay. During this process, if a Resentful Soul comes in contact with any Survivor, it deals damage equal to a normal attack to the Survivor and disappears right after. If it is absorbed by Robbie, Robbie will gain a temporary speed boost. The disappeared Resentful Soul will reappear in the vicinity of the Peaceful Pine after 30 seconds.
Resurge		When Robbie has a Peaceful Pine Branch, he can use it to grow more Peaceful Pines. Special Once the number of Peaceful Pines in the area reaches the maximum number of 6, the newly planted Peaceful Pines will replace the earliest planted Peaceful Pines.
Restful Road	1000	Robbie summons the roots of a Peaceful Pine to quickly generate a Restful Road from his feet. Robbie can also use a branch (long-tap and drag the branch) to enable the Restful Road to extend forward with the branch. When the Restful Road reaches the end, a Peaceful Pine will grow.
Corrupting Breath	2500	When a Survivor who is still mobile leaves the Corrupt Area, they will be shrouded by the Corrupting Breath which significantly reduced their movement speed for 3 seconds.

Concept / Design Notes

Design Notes

This character hopes to return to the earlier purer sense of American horror, and minimize the sense of magic, so the original design with branches in the body was scrapped. Since the character is a child, the basic idea was a "candy-begging kid during Halloween". The character does not have a head at the time of setting, so we covered the head with a piece of cloth. In order to be different from other hunters, we tried to combine the European and American style of white cloth ghosts with the Japanese sunny doll/teru teru bozu, using tattered linen and rotten edges to show a pure sense of power, which also complimented the rough axe weapon. The striped clothes and socks imply that the character has been in a prison-like place in the past; the torn socks and another foot show the childish nature of the character.
