In order for such a will to be ‘stimulated, the character must have suffered a particularly violent end in which some quality of betrayal played a part. For instance, they could have been sold out by their comrades, have been tricked into letting themselves be imprisoned somewhere and starved to death or have been murdered by someone they trusted or loved.Such beings are not undead in the traditional sense. They are animated only partly by the power of the negative material plane and far more by the will-to-live of the psionic brain.The revenant's immensely powerful will, fueled by a desire for revenge, animates his physical remains. (Naturally, this does not happen to all psionic characters who are killed in this way, or nobody would ever dare to lull them; it is the Games Master’s discretion whether any one character rises as a revenant or not.)It is undead by its own will, not because some evil deity (or the representative of one) chose it as a servitor.Cowled Rider: The cavalry of darkness, the cowled riders were once mortal men who sought to know things that the wise gods had forbidden mortals to learn. Fear of mortality prompts living men to make awful bargains and to sign away that which they should not. Acceptance and initiation into the cult of Kharash Var brings knowledge of terrible things hidden from living minds; the cowled rider does not remain human long, shedding his mortal flesh gladly and taking on the cold form of one of the undead.The cult of Kharash Var does not permit the living to dwell in its ranks for long. Upon reaching level 3, the cowled rider transcends a mere lifetime of service to the cult by pledging himself to it in body and soul for all eternity. In a lengthy mind-wracking ceremony of transfiguration, he sheds his mortal flesh and becomes a skeletal knight, an undead creature.Psionic Revenant, Force of Supernatural Evil: ?Cowled Rider, Figure of Stark Dread, Apparition, Skeletal Knight, Skeletal Undead Creature: ?Cowled Rider, Returning Nemesis, Undead Crusader: ?Undead, Undead Creature: ?Evil Undead: ?Undead Servant: ?Invading Undead: ?Undead Master Creature: ?Powerful Undead Creature: ?Ancient Undead Horror: ?Higher Undead: ?Sentient Lord of Unlife: ?Animated Corpse: ?Undead Minion: ?Blasphemous Travesty: ?Skeletal Undead: ?Animated Undead: ?Intelligent Undead: ?Undead Captain: ?Lesser Creation: ?Semi-Sentient Undead Creature: ?Ordinary Sentient Intelligent Undead Creature: ?Mindless Minion, Putrescent Protege: ?Allip, Unquiet Spirit That Has No Body: ?Ghost: Ghosts in this context are defined as the psychic remnants of creatures who died while experiencing extreme emotion, be that pain, fear, love or hatred. This emotion has bound them to the physical world, preventing the transition to the planes beyond that they rightly should have made. They remain bound to the ethereal plane. It is not enough merely to destroy the ghost’s form. The circumstances that keep it bound to the place must be investigated and dealt with properly if it is ever to be banished completely. An abandoned lover who committed suicide may need to be reconciled with a mortal descendant of the man who jilted her, a murdered child might wish its murderer to be brought to justice and a wholly malevolent spirit might need to be destroyed with an especially sacred weapon.Ghost, Unquiet Spirit That Has No Body, Psychic Remnant of a Creature Who Died While Experiencing Extreme Emotion, Incorporeal Creature: ?Ghost, Wholly Malevolent Spirit: ?Ghoul: ?Mummy: ?Skeletal Serpent: ?Skeleton, Skeletal Undead, Semi-Sentient Undead Creature, Undead Minion: ?Animated Skeleton: ?Skeletal Thing: ?Spectre, Unquiet Spirit That Has No Body: ?Vampire: ?Vampire, Master, Vampire Tutor, Vampire Master: ?Vampire Spawn: ?Zombie, Mere Zombie: ?Zombie, Mindless Minion, Putrescent Protege, Animated Corpse, Walking Dead, Undead Minion, Scary Creature, Semi-Sentient Undead Creature: ?Unquiet Spirit That Has No Body: ?Ambulatory Corpse: ?Animated Dead Creature: ?</blockquote>
