   <(Revenants)> Code Vein II version is entirely unrelated to the original. Supposed vampires but only titled as Revenants. Revenants are humanoid, vampiric creatures with golden hearts. The blood supplied to them by these hearts is what gives them their lengthy lifespans and permits them the innate ability to use magic, referred to as "formae." As with traditional vampires, revenants require human blood for sustenance, though they're capable of enjoying the same culinary dishes as a human would.

   Most revenants are not created, but are instead born to a revenant parent of a specific bloodline, tracing back to nigh-immortal revenants referred to as the Progenitors.

   Various genetic breakthroughs in said society allowed them to overcome daylight and walk in the sun. - A breakthrough by yours truly, Zenon Gryfgote Traits often feature red irises, golden hearts, longer fanged teeth, and powers of said bloodline. (Regeneration obviously) Some typical paler complexion, potential height shift, and usual supernatural strength. Currently the downside is the blood hunger, requiring a human's blood to satiate their thirst. Feral, intimate, or outright hunger causes their eyes to glow.

   History: Revenant existence was originally delegated to the shadows for thousands of years, living alongside humanity in secret. The few humans privy to the existence of revenants were almost exclusively revenant hunters, whose original purpose was to track and kill revenants. This secret war spanned centuries and continued up until the Resurgence first appeared, at which point revenants revealed their existence in full and gave their aid in fending off the rising threats; in doing so, society was reshaped to one of revenant leadership and supremacy. As society tipped in revenant favor and monsters became more widespread, revenant hunters began to work alongside revenants rather than hunting them. Their name, however, has remained unchanged.

   Bloodlines: Blood purity matters a great deal in modern revenant society and the bloodline one is born into plays a key role in what societal struggles they'll face over the course of their life. While it's possible for a revenant to strip themselves of their bloodline entirely, doing so is considered taboo and will exile them from their bloodline permanently. This act of bloodline abandonment and/or recreation is what has created Exiled and False Bloodkin. There are seven cardinal bloodlines, also referred to as the cardinal houses: Superbia, Ira, Luxuria, Acedia, Avaritia, Gula, and Invidia. Branching off from these, there also exist seven minor bloodlines, also called the seven minor houses: Humilitas, Patientia, Castitas, Diligentia, Caritas, Temperantia, and Humanitas. Being born to a minor bloodline places a revenant below those born to a cardinal bloodline by default. The gap can be widened further should they also be born to a minor house within a minor bloodline, such as the McLeish lineage: a minor house within the Patientia bloodline, they were traditionally executioners and laborers prior to Pioneer Queen Imogen raising them in status with her settlement of the Corroded Scar. It's implied that each bloodline has a hold over specific continents or regions on earth, with Superbia presiding over the Frontier. The unnamed continent where Iris MagMell hails from is ruled over by the Ira bloodline, and is suggested to have far more punishing gaps between blood-defined social class than the Frontier does.

   Revenant Creation: It is possible for a human to become a revenant, though doing so is strictly regulated by the Bureau of Frontier Management due to the high overpopulation of revenants already in existence. Should a revenant forgo the request process or ignore a denied verdict, there are legal consequences to both the revenant who performed the turning, and to the human who was turned: namely, being thrown in the revenant prison known as Insula Carcere. On top of this, there's no guarantee that the turning will succeed. The act itself involves giving a living revenant's blood to the corpse of a human and should the blood prove incompatible with the corpse in question, the turning will fail. It's heavily implied that should this happen, a second attempt is not possible. Assuming the turning succeeds, the newly created revenant will be reborn to the same bloodline of the blood used in the ritual. However, revenants who are turned this way are generally treated as the lowest possible social class among revenant society regardless of whether they belong to a cardinal or minor house. Currently, we know of two revenants who were once human: Noah G. MagMell and Lyle McLeish.

   The cardinal and minor houses are based on Christianity's seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues, respectively. Revenants were once unable to withstand sunlight, but this was fixed on a genetic level by Zenon Gryfgote. Because of their golden hearts, revenants bleed gold when injured. Despite this, all of the blood texturing in-game is red. </(Revenants)>

   <(Revenant Hunters)> Revenant hunters are human beings equipped with specific gear and abilities which allow them to hunt and kill revenants, though they've taken to working alongside their former targets in modern times as a means of better combating the rising horrors.

   Most hunters are affiliated with the Association of Revenant Hunters, a branch of the Bureau of Frontier Management, but it's possible—albeit rare —to find freelance hunters. The Protagonist is the only currently known freelance hunter, as well as the only hunter capable of learning multiple Blood Codes.

   Description:

   Revenant Hunter a title given to humans who pass an exam to combat revenants. (the vampires) If in general it is just titled to humans who hunt revenants. Often armed with the same tools and weapons of a revenant. A powerful human association exists that hunts revenants. It was led by Alessandro Gobbo. Hunters, regardless of affiliation, all have Jails fused into their spines which permit them to partially share in the power and immortality of any living revenant heart stored within it. Because the heart is still attached to a living revenant, modern hunters generally work as a pair: themselves, and their partnered revenant. A Guardian's Heart can stand-in for a real heart and comes without the risk of an incursion, though its power is severely lacking in comparison. Revenant hunters are required to pass an exam in order to claim the title, though the criteria for said exam and whether or not it also applies to freelance hunters is unknown.

   DB Hunters chasing technology capable of wounding the flesh of immortal revenants and horrors.

   Though they long fought revenants throughout the shadows of history, after the Resurgence and the resulting fall of civilization, they began cooperating with their former foes in order to defend humankind. They have continued to use tools and techniques developed to work with revenants in order to save lives on the battlefield.

   Entry settings

   <(Bloodlines)> Bloodlines are a revenant's genetic clan or lineage, contributing strongly to their personhood as well as their place in revenant society. Bloodlines can be traced back to a founding Progenitor and are split into two separate groups: cardinal houses and minor houses. They are also occasionally referred to as "clans."

   Within each bloodline there are also individual houses, which are closer to family tree or individual branches which make up the overall family tree that is a revenant's bloodline. Much like bloodlines themselves, one's house also has a social standing in revenant society; this standing can be raised through particularly impressive political or social deeds ⸺ such as McLeish house's lower standing being raised upon Pioneer Queen Imogen's settling of the Corroded Scar ⸺ though this would still not change the overall standing of the bloodline which the relevant house belongs to.

   It's possible for a revenant to reject their bloodline on a genetic level and/or attempt to forge a new one entirely, as observed by the False and Exiled Bloodkin, however the act is considered taboo among all bloodlines and the revenant in question will be permanently exiled from their original bloodline.

   The Seven Cardinal Houses: The most powerful bloodlines in revenant society, consisting of the Superbia, Gula, Luxuria, Ira, Acedia, Avaritia, and Invidia. Each represents one of the seven vices: pride, gluttony, lust, wrath, sloth, greed, and envy. [ SUPERBIA ] Founded by Progenitor Idris, revenants of great power and skill are born to this bloodline. Among them, Voda House is by far the most influential house across the whole of the Frontier.

   [ GULA ] Revenants of the Gula Bloodline possess massive levels of energy. As their bloodline name suggests, many are voracious eaters, but most have surprisingly small physiques as well. Many compensate for their small stature with honed swordsmanship or other combat abilities, developing their own unique techniques. Those of the Gula Bloodline are also capable of siphoning power from the blood of their prey. In Josée Anjou's case, this provides her with additional ichor. For enemy revenants this largely appears to work as a form of self-healing for those powerful enough to equip themselves with a Mask of Gula, where every hit restores a portion of their health.

   [ LUXURIA ] The Luxuria bloodline has the exclusive, innate ability to heal other revenants. The cost of this, however, is that every member of the Luxuria bloodline is born with a Resurgence-like illness, which worsens for each individual every time they use their healing ability. Eventually, this leads to mental and physical degredation and the afflicted will die. The stronger a revenant's healing prowess, the quicker their disease will consume them. The head of the Luxuria bloodline is Camilo Asturias of the Asturias house, and head of the Sanatorium within the Undead Forest. As with many members of the Luxuria bloodline, the Asturias clan has devoted their lives to researching the blight of their bloodline in the hopes of finding cure.

   [ IRA ] The Ira Bloodline is one of great prosperity and is known to utilize many revenants of the Patientia bloodline as soldiers in service to the seven cardinal houses. In the region of the world where Ira rules, there is a large enough gap between the cardinal and minor houses that many born to minor houses leave the region entirely to find a life elsewhere. A combat-oriented bloodline, revenants born to Ira are particularly difficult to stagger or disrupt during combat.

   [ ACEDIA ] Many of the Acedia Bloodline are both individualistic and tend towards intellectual endeavors. As such, the bonds between its members are fractured and superficial. Despite this, the seemingly unmatched potential of each individual has garnered the bloodline considerable influence. The Acedia Bloodline are masters of formae and other revenant techniques. World-renowned innovators and inventors, many have occupied key positions in the worlds of both politics and finance throughout history. As the name of their bloodline suggests, most from it are given to indolent tendencies. But time spent idly can on occasion be a boon, fostering ingenuity. Revenants of the Acedia bloodline will explode when killed.

   [ AVARITIA ] No information is currently known about the Avaritia bloodline.

   [ INVIDIA ] Mask-bearers of this bloodline will inflict those caught within their gaze with venom.

   The Seven Minor Houses: Bloodlines which branched off from the seven cardinal houses of revenant society, consisting of the Humilitas, Temperantia, Castitas, Patientia, Diligentia, Caritas, and Humanitas. Each represents one of the seven virtues: humility, temperance, chastity, patience, diligence, charity, and benevolence. Not much is known about the majority of the minor houses, with the exception of the Patientia bloodline.

   [ PATIENTIA ] Naturally gifted combatants, many of the Patientia bloodline end up in service to the cardinal houses as foot soldiers. Within this bloodline is the McLeish House, which is known as a militant faction composed of fearless soldiers. Their standing was raised from executioners and laborers to one of actual note due to the efforts of Pioneer Queen Imogen. Those born to this house have a natural gift for utilizing the thunder element. </(Bloodlines)>

   <(Luna Rapacis)> The Luna Rapacis is a giant, moonlike entity that sits in the center of the Frontier's mainland, having erupted out of the Sealing Spire during the time of the Upheaval. It is held up by a long stem that appears organic in nature and can be seen from virtually every above-ground location within the Frontier. Originally, the Luna Rapacis is impaled by four massive stakes, each of which is tied to one of the sleeping Heroes; as the Heroes are defeated by the Protagonist, these stakes disappear until none remain. At this point, it is possible to enter the interior of the Luna Rapacis.

   While most people are only aware that the Luna Rapacis serves to seal away the Resurgence and is detrimental to revenant life, the full truth is that it is also the cocoon of the fifth and final Hero, Valentin Voda.

   Behavior: While the Luna Rapacis itself is a non-sentient entity, its existence is actively detrimental to revenants. Prolonged exposure to its light causes permanent damage to their minds and bodies, forcing many of them to remain indoors or to live beneath masks as a means of slowing the rate of affliction. Revenants who suffer from severe cases of prolonged exposure exhibit symptoms reminiscent of dementia. Beyond this, the appearance of the Luna Rapacis also brought new horrors called Moon Envoys along with it. These horrors seek out revenants exclusively, with their sole mission being that of revenant extermination. It's possible that Valentin's strong will and fierce desire to eradicate all revenant life is the source of the Luna Rapacis's behavior, effectively projecting his will across the Frontier from where he sleeps within its core. </(Luna Rapacis)>

    <(Resurgence)> The Resurgence is a phenomenon which causes grotesque deformations in both organic and inorganic things, turning anything from revenants to rose bushes to metal debris into monsters known as horrors. There's no known cure for those afflicted with the Resurgence, however symptoms could be alleviated for individuals receiving care at the Asturias family's Sanatorium prior to its closure. Eventually, however, anyone or anything afflicted will succumb to the disease and either die or transform.

    History: When the Resurgence spread across the world and threatened all lifeforms, revenants stepped out of their shadows and revealed themselves to humanity, taking control of the collapsed human society and attempting to protect the world from the Resurgence. With the power of one great revenant, Progenitor Idris, the Resurgence was temporarily sealed and the world settled into a semi-peaceful period. However, the seal weakened 100 years ago, threatening the entire world yet again. In what became known as the Upheaval, several powerful revenants sacrificed themselves to save civilization, allowing themselves to be placed within cocoons placed around the Frontier, where they would continuously absorb Resurgence energy for the next century at the cost of their own lives in a stop-gap measure to buy the world some extra time. These revenants are hailed as great Heroes for their sacrifice. Now, almost a century later, the Resurgence energy held within the sleeping Heroes' cocoons has reached its limit and the cocoons themselves are at risk of bursting if left unchecked; should they be permitted to do so, they will completely annihilate the area around them, leaving nothing in their wake. To avoid this outcome, the Protagonist has been entrusted with finding the key to each cocoon and slaying the Hero— now transformed into a horror by the absorbed Resurgence energy —laying dormant within.

    Resurgence Origin: The true form of the Resurgence is the result of revenant overpopulation. It is the energy buildup and release that happens when the "vessel," or the body within which it is housed, is incapable of holding any further power inside itself; the energy begins to corrupt the body until it eventually has no where to go but out, exploding outward into the world. "That is the Resurgence's true nature: a cataclysm triggered via population overload—an end for our time."—Zenon Gryfgote

    The Progenitors realized this long ago and artificially limited the lifespans of revenants in secret as a countermeasure. However, at some point it ceased to be enough to contain the threat of the Resurgence, resulting in the current state of the world.

    Database Entries: [ SYMPTOMS OF RESURGENCE-INFLICTED CORRUPTION ] Once exposed to the Resurgence, the corruption begins to spread through the victim's body. The rate of progression varies greatly with each individual. While methods to slow its spread are available, there is no known way to cure the corruption. [ THE RESURGENCE ] A mysterious mutative phenomenon that once ravaged the world. It corrupted everything in the affected areas, both living or otherwise, warping them into grotesque abominations.

    Beings transformed by the Resurgence are called horrors, and pose a threat to the survival of humanity and revenantkind alike. [ RESURGENCE 2 ] Little by little, the latent energy found in revenant blood is activated as the revenant population grows. Once that energy exceeds an individual's capacity to contain it, the host's body becomes corrupt and the latent energy is rapidly released. This explosive emission of energy is the true force behind the phenomenon known as the Resurgence.

    When the host revenant's flesh corrupts just before the point of criticality, it becomes a horror known as a Metagen. The energy released by these creatures also grows stronger in proportion to the revenant population. </(Resurgence)>

    <(Upheaval)> The Upheaval was the result of Voda House's failure to properly reseal the Resurgence 100 years ago, following the breaking of Progenitor Idris's original seal. On the verge of permitting the Resurgence to once again wreak havoc once again, five revenants from different bloodlines were chosen to become living sacrifices as a means of buying this world a century's worth of time. These revenants were hailed as heroes and have remained dormant in their cocoons for the last hundred years as they've continuously absorbed the Resurgence's energy into their own bodies.

    The details of the upheaval have been kept a secret from almost everyone, painting it as a noble and willing sacrifice by each of the five Heroes in the face of a sudden, familiar crisis.

    The truth is that when the vessel failed to properly absorb the Resurgence energy, Valentin Voda assimilated them into himself, becoming an almighty draconic horror. In doing so, his sole purpose was to wipe out revenant-kind across the world as a means of permanently eliminating the Resurgence. Rather than permit a genocide, the powerful revenants who had been hand-chosen to clear the way to the sealing site for Voda House were forced to combat Valentin and, with few other options, were asked to become sacrifices.

    Of the five Heroes, only three of them were willing sacrifices: Josée Anjou, Lyle McLeish, and Holly Asturias. The other two, Zenon Gryfgote and Valentin Voda, were implied to have been forced into their cocoons by Lavinia Voda.

    The Upheaval brought about the rise of the Luna Rapacis, whose true identity is Valentin's cocoon, which has given birth to new horrors over the last century.

    Database Entries: [ THE UPHEAVAL ] A battle fought against the Resurgence 100 years ago. Prominent revenants, led by Voda House, sacrificed themselves to seal it away once more. These revenants were hailed as heroes and remain dormant in their cocoons to this very day. [ THE UPHEAVAL 2 ] The Resealing plans failed. Four revenants sought to stop Valentin and his quest to wipe revenants out of existence, but both sides suffered significantly. In the end, the four dispersed and sealed away Valentin's Resurgence energy. Thus were the cocoons and Luna Rapacis born.

    In order to hide the truth of what occurred, stories arose of five heroes who carried out the will of Progenitor Idris to seal away the Resurgence. </(Upheaval)>

    Entry settings

    The Lost are Revenant whose BOR parasites have continued their infestation, spreading entirely through the body. As the BOR Parasite is no longer centralized to the Revenant's heart, the Lost are completely immune to death and will reform no matter what. The Parasite completely destroys the host personality, rendering them violent, mindless and cannabalistic. Lost are the primary threat in the city of Vein to its inhabitants. Additionally, Lost continually produce Miasma from their bodies which accumulates in the atmosphere. Miasma inhalation induces the Bloodthirst reaction in sane Revenants, rapidly reducing the time it would take for them to Frenzy.

Revenant law within the Frontier is created and enforced by the Bureau, at times through the use of personal assassins.

    In past timelines, the Bureau is largely run by their Deputy Director, Alessandro Gobbo. There is no known authority in the Present Era and their base of operations, a castle in the southwest of the Undead Forest, is little more than a glorified pile of debris.

    If the player unlocks access to the Luna Fraterna ending, they receive a letter from Josée Anjou stating that she's become the new Director of the Bureau of Frontier Management while her sister, Lise Anjou, supports her as Deputy Director.

    Entry settings

    <(Blood Bag)> A blood bag is a human victim of revenant slave trafficking, specifically to have their blood consumed as a continuous source of sustenance for their revenant owner(s). It's not uncommon for blood bags to die while in revenant possession and their deaths are generally treated unceremoniously.

    While this is highly illegal, due to the overpopulation of revenants in more recent centuries it's becoming increasingly more difficult to steadily supply revenants with blood in a humane manner, which in turn has lead many authorities to turn a blind eye to the situation. Because of this, it's proven difficult to put a stop to the trafficking problem.

    DB Humans forced to serve the needs of revenants. While personal possession of humans is outlawed in revenant society, perpetually low supplies of human blood have driven many revenants to turn a blind eye to matters of legality. The number of humans trafficked for their blood is a growing problem in society.

    Entry settings

    <(Cocoons)> Cocoons are the vessels which contain the five revenants whose sacrifice sealed away the Resurgence 100 years ago. Each one of them sleeps within their own cocoon where they've been absorbing the Resurgence energy into their own bodies as a form of living seal, successfully buying the world an additional century worth of time. For their sacrifice, these revenants have been hailed as Heroes.

    History: A century ago the Sealing Ritual held by Voda House failed, resulting in the Upheaval. As an emergency containment measure, particularly powerful revenants across different bloodlines were asked to sacrifice themselves as living seals as a means of buying the world a more time to find a proper solution. These revenants accepted and were placed into cocoons, where they would spread the Resurgence energy among them and store it within their bodies for the next hundred years.

    Description: True to the cocoon namesake, the Heroes within have been slowly changing into terrifying horrors as the Resurgence energy has corrupted their bodies beyond recognition. More terrifying, however, is that should these cocoons fail to be opened in time by an external source and the horror within eliminated, the cocoon will explode due to excess energy buildup. The destruction caused by this event is on par with that of a nuclear bomb; anything and everything within its explosion radius will be destroyed, including the dirt and rock composing the landmass it sits on top of. To avoid this, the Protagonist has been tasked with finding the keys to each of the cocoons and eliminating the Heroes sleeping within.

    DB The foundations of the seal on the Resurgence which appeared across the frontier after the Upheaval. Sacrificing themselves, revenants hailed as heroes remain inside these cocoons today, maintaining the seal.

    Inside, however, the life force of these heroes slowly drains away. Once they reach their breaking point, the cocoons explode, wiping out everything in the vicinity. In order to prevent this, the cocoons must be unlocked, the heroes awakened, and their lives taken. </(Cocoons)>

    <(Guardian's Heart)> A Guardian's Heart is a item in Code Vein II that serves as a stand-in for a real revenant heart in a hunter's Jail.

    Prior to the partnership between revenant hunters and revenants, this was the standard-issue "partner" and Blood Code for all revenant hunters. It serves its purpose, but is notably lackluster in all aspects when compared to the heart of a living revenant.

    Despite the common practice of hunters partnering with revenants in this day and age, the Guardian's Heart continues to exist as what is likely an alternative option to a revenant partner or potential fall-back for revenant hunters.

    Database Entry: "A versatile piece of equipment stored in revenant hunter Jails. These crystalized revenant hearts allow for the use of a fixed amount of ichor, but their performance pales in comparison to a living revenant heart." </(Guardian's Heart)>

    <(Incursion)> An Incursion is a rare and largely fatal even where the blood of a revenant assimilated into a hunter's jail flows backwards into the hunter; the incompatibility between a human heart and the blood of a revenant causes the hunter to die.

    Due to the partial assimilation of Lou MagMell's heart by the Protagonist, incursions are not fatal to the player but instead offer glimpses into the past via Memory Remnants, effectively reading the pathos stored within their partner's blood instead of being killed by it.

    DB An extremely rare yet typically fatal situation in which the blood from a revenant heart equipped by a hunter flows back into the wearer, inflicting massive damage on their body. Thanks to the protagonist and Lou's special assimilated heart, the Protagonist alone is completely resistant to incursions. Instead of being inured, they are able to access memories from revenant blood which flows back into them. </(Incursion)>

    Idris was born to Voda House and as such, those also born within it have been given the great burden of overseeing Idris's seal— both in its upkeep and to perform a Resealing Ritual in the event that it should break.

    This shift occurred as a preventive measure against the disaster known as the Resurgence, which arises due to the overpopulation of revenants. To mitigate this, the Progenitors altered the forma engraved deep within revenant blood, introducing a natural cycle that would gradually reduce the revenant population over time.
