==Becoming a Revenant==
==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 candidancy 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 space within a close proximity to the station. If flying around for a bit you don't find the station, keep flying until you find it or yell at the admins that you can't.

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.

If your essence hits zero, you die, leaving a pile of blue dust that will regenerate into a new Revenant within a minute if not scattered.


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 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.

If they're unconscious when you do this, the human will also die. While harvesting, you are visible to anything nearby for about 6 seconds, so try to find relatively secluded targets to do this to.

!Transmit

|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.

!Life Tap
!Defile
|25E unlock cost, 0E use cost
|40E unlock cost
|1 minute
|20E use cost
|A high risk, high reward type ability, Life Tap will remove a single 'strike' from your life pool in order to gain 50E. Strikes are a valuable commodity, serving as a second chance after your essence hits zero, so this is a high tradeoff. If you're out of strikes, you can't use this ability, obviously.
|20 seconds

|Defiles the nearby area, removing holyness from nearby tiles, damaging windows, causing lights to flicker, causing a large amount of stamina damage to humans, stunning cyborgs, and emagging bots.
!Seed of Draining
|20E unlock/use cost
|2 minutes
|The Seed of Draining ability is one of the most powerful abilities you can purchase, especially early in. Using it on someone from a short distance will corrupt them with draining energies which will slowly sap their life force. However, unlike the lump sum of a Harvest, this is closer to squeezing out that last drop of toothpaste <s>kinda like that whale in Dishonored</s>. Over a period of two minutes, this will deal nonlethal oxygen damage to the target but also give you '''120E''' to work with. It doesn't take long at all, and this is good for a nonlethal route in addition to causing spookiness. Sometimes the target will get a message about this.
|-
!Mind Spike
|5E unlock/use cost
|1.5 seconds
|Mind Spike is an extremely basic damage ability. It will do 12 damage to a target's head with a small amount of brain damage and a 20% chance to knock them over. It also reveals the revenant for one second.
|-
!Mind Blast
|25E unlock/use cost
|25 seconds
|An upgraded version of Mind Spike. It deals 40 damage instead, with a bit more brain damage, and has a guaranteed knockdown. It reveals you for three seconds instead of one.

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.

(NOTE: Not implemented) ''They also can't pass through tiles with holy water, and if there's salt on the tile they'll be stunned and revealed for a short time. Salt in general does exceptional damage against them due to its inherent ability to absorb essence.''
They also can't pass through tiles with holy water unless they Defile it, so go cover the station in it.
 
Also, if they get too powerful, admins might trim them down to size or warn them to keep the killing down. Generally the most powerful revenants have ridiculous amounts of essence they don't need to kill for and can even be helpful in some scenarios if it can forward their own power. Just be careful of them and note that they'll be willing to double-cross you at any time if you so much as look at a salt shaker.+
