So, you're a newly-spawned revenant. One of the first things you may notice is that <s>you look badass</s> you have a little counter in your status tab with a number and an E next to it. That's '''essence''', and it is your most important resource. Your maximum health is controlled by this number, and it will regenerate up to 25. If your essence hits zero, you will be warned and have it jolted up to 1. If this happens three times, or 'strikes', you die for good. There's an ability called Life Tap that gives you a lot of essence for one of these strikes if you're feeling ballsy.

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: ''Lesser 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 and you can't drain the same corpse twice, so you'll need to get creative or wander around for a bit. Note that while you're harvesting something, you can be seen and attacked by the living.

|This is the first ability a revenant can use. It will drain essence from a nearby unconscious or dead human - the essence depends on their state. If they were player-controlled before death, you will get more essence. If they are unconscious, you will get a ''lot'' more essence. If they're unconscious when you do this, the human will also die (go figure). While harvesting, you are visible to anything nearby, so try to find relatively secluded corpses to do this to.

!Greater Harvest
|125E unlock cost, 0E use cost
|5 minutes
|This is a very powerful version of Lesser Harvest that has a rightful unlock cost. It can be used even on conscious and living humans for a huge amount of essence, and it will also paralyze them. When you drain someone like this, they will die, even from full health. This is great for picking off individual people, can you can also Lesser Harvest them afterwards for additional value.
|-
!Transmit
|5E unlock/use cost
|5 seconds
|This the revenant's only direct method of communication, since they're incapable of speech. You can transmit a single message in distinct text silently to a single person. Psyche people out, make deals with antagonists, do what you want - it's a very versatile ability.

|This is a unique ability. Any nearby online light fixtures will be overloaded with essence. After a short time, anyone near these lights will be shocked by a bolt of lightning! This doesn't do much damage, but it stuns for a brief period and is good for causing paranoia.

!Strangulate
|30E unlock/use cost
|1 minute
|Strangulate will quickly deal a massive amount of oxygen damage to the target - around 140 - and put them into critical condition. It's easily stopped with CPR, so only do it to individual people if you're going the lethal route.
Note that using this ability too much to kill off half the crew and the geneticists that can clone them may net you the [[Terminology#Ban|GRAND PRIZE]].

So you're a crew member and you just saw a guy with purple lights flowing out of him leading into a spooky blue ghost. You've shouted over radio and now the crew know. Revenants can range from annoying to amazingly dangerous, and the more corpses they drain, the more powerful they get. Once they unlock Strangulate you basically lose if they feel particularly like killing off the whole crew. However, there's a few things you can do to fight revenants.

First of all, get the chaplain. Their null rod is incredibly powerful against the revenant and will drain large chunks of essence from them. Revenants are generally hard to fight, mainly because they're both invisible, can phase through walls, and can't take damage in this state, but there are a few ways around it. Generally, waiting for them to drain someone or reveal themselves is the best time to go ham on their ass.
