The revenants

JUST AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP.

A pro survivor group dedicated to the idea of justice

A new group. A new code.

This would be very different than the idea of bounty hunting or vendettas. The group offers the following outline in game terms as a cliff notes outline:

Pro Survivor. Life Cultist. Sacred Ground observed. Zombie Hoards-respected as apex preditors and worthy opponents PKers-respected as legitmate to the game but viewed as what they are by what they do...As individual rogues then they are murderers, when they are organized then they are organized crime and occasionally at high levels of game play they are assassins, gunslingers or ronins with their own set of legitimate values.

If the following description interests you, leave a message and contact information on the discussion page.

Based on the theory that in a city where death is a condition that changes, murder victims would rise to be "revenants"- in old European and American legends, ghosts who come back from beyond the grave not just to settle scores but ultimatly serve justice. Examples would be The Crow, the Hurry Sundown character in the Outlaws' song of the same name and even the famed Ghost Rider. It is a long tradition and would seem a natural for UD.

The point is that you can make an arguement for a character who wishes to return to the living and to settle "unfinished business". While some would revel in their undead powers and become monsters (the Dual Life position), clearly some would fight that instinct even to the point of fighting other monsters while in the undead state(called ZKing or Life Cultist in the game). The tortured souls who fight against the monster instinct are numerous in fiction and ledgend.

The experiance of being killed would leave these characters with a sense of "lawfulness outside the law" and a code of conduct to help them make sense of the chaos.

Just as you sow, so shall you reap.

More to follow. --Belisarius17 21:22, 28 September 2009 (BST)
