Editing Revenant (section)

==World of Darkness==
Both of the [[vampire]] games have their own version of the revenant.

In [[Vampire: The Masquerade]], revenants are the result of [[ghoul]] eugenics. Yes, seriously. Essentially, the [[Tzimisce]] realized that certain attributes of ghouls could be inherited and through selective breeding, they gave birth to revenants, ghouls that produced their own, weak, vitae. They age four times slower than regular humans, have lesser versions of vampire weaknesses, along with their own unique weakness depending on the family, and can use disciplines. Of course the revenant families are depraved fucks, due to the Tzimisce having created them, with madness, cannibalism, incest, and other [[/d/|sexual]] [[/trash/|depravity]] being common, with the most depraved ones being kept out sight. They are split between the families loyal to the Tzimisce, the ''Zadruga'', and those loyal to other clans/factions.

In [[Vampire: The Requiem]], revenants are "spontaneous vampires", occasionally created when a human with vitae in their body dies, or when a human gets drained dry by a low-humanity vampire. They are pathetic creatures, having many of the weaknesses but only a few of the strengths of a vampire. They are almost constantly in a state of hunger frenzy, due to bleeding out their vitae during the daysleep. With few exceptions, their only fate is to either be killed or Embraced properly to become a full-fledged vampire. Some Revenants manage to eke out an existence and even create small "dynasties" if they can master their unique Vitae-retaining pseudo-Discipline called Chary, but even these stronger Revenant groups exist at the fringe of the All Night Society.
