Homebrew Barovian Revenant with Amnesia Species Details

You were murdered by the wicked vampire Strahd von Zarovich and turned into a Revenant: an undead creature that rises from the dead to hunt down and slay their killer with unwavering zeal.

Because the Count despised your positive heroic human spirit while you were alive, he removed the memories you have of him and the circumstances of your death, so that you are cursed by the restlessness and fury of a Revenant, with the cruel twist of not knowing what the purpose of your resurrection is, or the who the source of your hatred should be. Strahd is amused by your confusion and he is curious to see how an amnesiac Revenant will behave.

You will experience flashes of unexplainable violent urges when Strahd is mentioned or more intensely while you are in his company, however, you will not know that he is who you must kill for your soul to be at peace, unless he tells you. Because you have so much aggressive energy bubbling inside of you without a clear direction to focus it on, you have a tendency to be hot tempered and you are compelled to overcome challenges through conflict.

Unless one were to pay close attention to your grey sallow skin, the luminous hatred that glows in your eyes, or the faint smell of rot that lingers around you, it is possible for your undead nature to pass unnoticed.
