Introduction

Revenants. Creatures revived from dead soldiers and citizens to fight the scourge of the Lost, after the collapse of society and the Queen herself losing control. Vein Revenants are trained as a highly efficient and powerful soldiers, equipped to fight creatures that can wipe out entire city blocks in minutes. As a Vein Revenant, you have access to a wide variety of abilities and powers depending on both your Blood-Code, and what piece of the Queen you inherit. Despite being Vampires, Revenants are quite different, as they are only evil if they so chose that path. Also, while they need blood to survive, they do not need to kill to obtain it. Revenants are often perfectly civilized, and can sometimes be indistinguishable from living beings of whatever race they originally hailed from. One of the major downsides to becoming a Revenant however, is that most often lose their memories. While some are able to retain a few shreds of memory, mostly close relationships and personal values, a great deals of a Revenants time among the living is forgotten.
