✸ rev ✸

Rev was a character i created to play in a Curse of Strahd campaign with my good friend jean as our dm! he has since outgrown the game as i got too attached to him and wasn't ready to say goodbye... so now he lives in my own setting. :) this is all subject to change.

Setting primer

The world Rev lives in is in the distant future; on a planet all but stripped of all its resources by the rise and fall of civilisations that came before. politically, the land is divided into fiefdoms that each govern themselves differently; there are no big countries. a lot of the current population is fighting over any remnants of the glory that came before - magic exists, but very few people are able to use it nowadays. in the past, it's said that many could use magic but the specifics and how to practice it have been lost to time.

Rev's backstory

Born human in an impoverished land; Rev does not remember his parents, nor how he ended up in the care of an undertaker/mortician called Ulrich as a young child. Ulrich had a habit of picking up strays and Rev grew up surrounded by a found family of such street urchins and outcasts. these were the happiest years of his life.

When Rev was in his early teens, Ulrich showed his true colours: secretly trying to bring back the glory and power of the humans of eld, his little family was nothing more than material he could use to fulfill his ambition. He took out Rev's brain (this kills the Rev) and implanted it into the preserved body of a Tyrant - a humanoid race of which little is known in the current age. his goal was to harness the biological processes that made it easier for tyrants to use magic. Ulrich escapes after being confronted by Rev upon the latter waking up and understanding what was done to him - feeling guilt for robbing the others of their father figure, he takes on the role of guardian for the cemetery he calls home.

Misc extra info:

his height is 260cm//8'5'' and he is very gaunt

his skin is pale blue, his long, wavy hair snow white, his eyes have a pink sclera with brighter pink irises, cloudy pupils

on his forehead is a prominent scar from when Ulrich opened his skull

his sense of touch is erratic and ranges from total numbness to hypersensitivity, which makes him loathe being touched, especially by strangers

he has no blood, but tyrants have a second heart that pumps a black susbtance called Bile in another circulatory system in his body

he doesn't sweat, but his skin also doesn't produce sebum. so if he doesn't maintain it himself with oils, it will dry up. he uses scented oils to cover his natural smell, bc he knows it weirds people out
