 Revenants are ghosts that have been infused with strange alien energies and brought partially back into the mortal plane in areas filled with death. They are invisible to the naked eye but can still be influenced by magical or holy means. In addition, machinery may recognize a revenant's presence. Revenants are typically immortal while invisible, but most of their spooky abilities will reveal them to the crew for brief amounts of time.
 ==Becoming a Revenant==
 There are two ways to become a revenant. The first is for an admin to spawn in a revenant and quickly place you into the mob. The second way is for a random event to happen. You must have the Revenant preference toggled on (use the verb for special candidacy in the Preferences tab) and you may be selected. A sound will play to your client in case you were alt-tabbed or something and you will spawn in certain areas that are thick with death or the presence of the dead.
 ==Delicious Life Force==
 So, you're a newly-spawned Revenant. How spooky! One of the first things you may notice is that <s>you look badass</s> you have a large display to the right with a number and an E next to it. That's '''Essence''', and it is your most important resource.

 Note that while you're harvesting something or have recently used an ability, you can be seen and attacked by the living, and will be unable to move while channeling the ability.
 Once you can move again, you will still be revealed for a short period of time with a series of weaknesses. '''This is your most vulnerable form, and you can be killed if not careful!''' While in this state, you cannot move through walls or most solid objects and are slow, though you can open doors, move across tables and plastic flaps, as well as go through living mobs.

-Anyway, most of your abilities are behind a lock and you need to have some essence to unlock them. To get essence, you have one ability by default: ''Harvest''. This can be used while next to an unconscious or dead human to gain a small amount of essence. This is a very small amount, though if the target is still living it can be much higher, and you can't drain the same corpse twice, so you'll need to get creative or wander around for a bit.
