Reveners are demons that reanimate corpses. This revener is weaker than most: it can only animate one corpse at a time, and it does not seek to terrify. Far from it – it wants humans to desire, and to pledge themselves, to its beautiful bodies.
Order: Vessel of Iniquity
Infernal Might: 10
Characteristics:
(human form) Int 0, Per +1, Pre +3*, Com +3, Str 0*, Sta Tireless, Dex +1*, Qik +1*.
* Prefers beautiful bodies, but will make do with weaker ones. Decayed bodies or skeletons have weaker physical characteristics.
Size: -1 (prefers diminutive female forms.)
Virtues and Flaws:. Many
Confidence Score: 1 (3)
Personality Traits: Hedonistic +5, Lustful +3.
Reputations: Coquette of the Charnel Pit +1 (Infernal)
Combat: N/A. Does not attempt to prevent harm to its body: uses the harm, and its ability to scream and beg for help at volume, to turn the corpse into evidence against the one who attacked.
Soak: 0
Wound Penalties: –1 (1–4), –3 (5–8), –5 (9–12), Incapacitated (13–16), Dead (17+)
Abilities: All suitable for story, but this demon is well-versed in Carousing and Folk Ken.
Powers:
Envisioning, 1 point, Init 0, Mentem: For 1 point, allows the demon to enter and twist dreams. If used to terrify, the victim can ignore it with a Brave Personality trait roll against an Ease factor of 9 or more. Failure to resist leads to a profound physical reaction, like a seizure.
Hide the Bite of the Worm: 3 points, Init. 0, Imaginem. This illusion make the revener’s body look, sound, and smell fresh. It doesn’t make the body feel warm, but a victim filled with strong liquor is unlikely to not notice.
Obsession: 1 to 3 points, Init. -5, Mentem: May force characters to make Personality Trait rolls to resist a temporary trait, Hedonistic, which has a score equal to the Might points spent.. If the roll is successful, the trait vanishes. If it fails, they gain the trait permanently at +1, although they can remove it by the usual means of reducing traits.
She Walks Again : 1 point, Init. -1, Corpus: Animates one corpse or skeleton. As this is a supernatural power, the physical attacks of this demon, such as they are, can be deflected with Magic Resistance.
Scream For Help: 1 point, Init. -1, Imaginem: The creature can be heard clearly from a great distance, as though her voice was not obstructed by walls or other sounds.
Weakness: Cannot manifest to those warded by the cross. Notably, it can still inhabit a particular church, so either the Dominion there has a patch of Infernal influence, or churches in general do not harm it.
Vis: 2 pawns, lover’s favor.
Appearance: A beautiful woman in distressed circumstances.
