Revenant Construct

You were once alive. Now you are something else—stitched, carved, forged, or assembled. A spark of soul and will fuels your form, bound by tragedy, magic, or vengeance. Whether created by accident, desperation, or divine mystery, you walk not for your own sake... but for what was lost.

Skill Proficiencies: Stealth, Insight

Tool Proficiencies: Tinker’s tools or Thieves’ tools (your choice), and one artisan’s tool that reflects your past (e.g., Weaver’s tools, Woodcarver’s tools, or Calligrapher’s tools)

Languages: Choose one (you remember how to speak it, even if you no longer remember who taught you)

Suggested Characteristics

Your nature as a revenant construct affects your identity, goals, and emotions. Some barely remember their lives; others cling to every detail.

Personality Traits

1. I watch people sleep, not out of malice, but because it reminds me I no longer do.

2. I mimic the behavior of those around me to blend in—even if I don’t understand why they act that way.

3. I find comfort in small things: a warm drink I can’t taste, a lullaby I no longer feel.

4. I ask questions children might ask: “Why do people lie? Why do they grow old? Why do they leave?”

Ideals

1. Retribution. Someone took everything from me. I will take something back. (Evil or Neutral)

2. Memory. I don’t want to be forgotten. I want someone to remember I existed. (Any)

3. Protection. I couldn’t save them before. I will protect those I can now. (Good)

4. Truth. I want to know why this happened. Who I am. Who made me. (Neutral)

Bonds

1. I still carry a piece of my past—something broken, but precious.

2. A single name echoes in my dreams. I don’t know if it’s mine, or theirs.

3. I’ve seen children play with toys like me. It makes something ache in my chest.

4. I know the face of the one who wronged me. I will find them again.

Flaws

1. I don’t understand my limits. Sometimes I forget I can’t feel pain—or love—the way others do.

2. I feel numb most of the time. The only thing that stirs me is vengeance.

3. I struggle to trust kindness. I assume it’s always a lie.

4. I sometimes forget I’m not a real person anymore.
