A revenant is an undead being created when the moment of death is so traumatic that it separates a person's life energy from their body very shockingly and
suddenly. This life energy, composed mostly of the being's shadow energy
with a bit of what's left of the soul, is what primarily makes up the revenant's
form. However, revenants are able to, with the expenditure of energy and effort,
able to create a solid form of itself appearing as it did in real life. Only
those skilled in the knowledge of the undead could ever know the true nature
of a revenant. Dissipating the corporeal body also takes some effort, however
much less than forming it, and it often leaves behind a small puddle of dark
sludge. It should be noted that even revenants who have formed a corporeal body
will cast no shadow, and they often stand in or near shadows to mask this fact from the world.
Revenants have a variety of personalities, depending on how they were raised. Some are bound by the will of their summoner, unable to gain independent thought until their master is killed. Others who were created by their own power seek to gain vengeance on their killers or to finish some task unfinished. Even if these are completed, Revenants gain no release from their state unless slain and put to rest, a process that is difficult to perform. Otherwise, Revenants are much as they were in life, if a bit changed due to the tramua of coming back to the world after one's death.
