Umbras are ghosts that have been infused with strange alien energies and brought partially back into the mortal plane. 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. Umbras are typically immortal while invisible, but most of their spooky abilities will reveal them to the crew for brief amounts of time. | |||

There are two ways to become a | There are two ways to become a Umbra. The first is for an admin to spawn in a Umbra 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 certain areas that are thick with death or the presence of the dead. | ||

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. Note that while you're harvesting something or have recently used an ability, you can be seen and attacked by the living. | Anyway, most of your abilities are behind a lock and you need to have some essence to unlock them.

You've shouted over radio and now the crew know. Umbras can range from annoying to amazingly dangerous, and the more corpses they drain, the more powerful they get. However, there's a few things you can do to fight Umbras. | ||
First of all, get the chaplain. Their null rod is incredibly powerful against the revenant and will drain large chunks of essence from them. | First of all, get the chaplain. Their null rod is incredibly powerful against the revenant and will drain large chunks of essence from them. Umbras 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. | ||
They also can't pass through tiles with holy water unless they Defile it, so go cover the station in it, or better yet, spray it over them when they cast something. | They also can't pass through tiles with holy water unless they Defile it, so go cover the station in it, or better yet, spray it over them when they cast something. | ||
