Backstory

Emily Valentine was born around when metahuman traits first began to show up. When she was 19, she noticed that getting a cut, healed immediately. So, she did what anyone would do, tried to be a superhero, under the name Phoenix, due to her red hair, and the fact she always heals. She'd fight against criminals, healing from any injuries, taking risks that others can't. She stopped aging at 25. Seven years after that, she met someone, and had their child. Then, three years after that, it all collapsed...

Emily was captured, by a gang called "The Lanii Heroici" or "The Hero Butchers", who hated anyone with a Metahuman Trait. While captured, they abused her, and tried all sorts of methods to kill her. They tried to crush her, shoot her, poison her, burn her, even put he inside a cremation oven, and much more. Cutting her into small pieces, incinerating her, crushing her under a hydraulic press, cutting her brain out and throwing it, dropping her into the lake with cement blocks... Each one, broke her mind more, and more. Eventually, she snapped, and started laughing, even as her bones broke, or her skin burned. Then, to escape the bindings, she pulled. Her hand tore off, degloving the arm with it. She escaped, but not before slaughtering every single member of The Lanii Heroici.

Revenant got out, but she was not the same. Grey hair, red eyes, and a particular kind of insanity that only comes from dying the worst deaths possible, over and over. When she went back to her family, she couldn't help but wonder how their bones would snap, or their skin burn. They noticed. Getting scared of her, and the insanity they saw, they tried to get her to see a psychological professional, but they couldn't help, even after years. Eventually, she was caught killing her husband.

When the police shot her, she simply laughed. She killed them too. But one she didn't hurt, was her son, four years old at this point, Aaron. Emily left, abandoning both her birth name of Emily Valentine, as well as her hero name of Phoenix. Now, she was just Revenant. Violent, undying.

Her son grew up to be a hero, but the trauma from the day he saw his mother murdering people never left him. Whenever Revenant came up as a villain, he'd leave the room, and refuse to participate.

Now, over a hundred years later, she's still a villain, and her son died long ago, of old age. But the Valentine family, now a fully established hero family, don't forget the scars. Revenant is a stain on their history, that they can't remove, so they simply hide it, only the patriarch and matriarch of the family know about Revenant's connection to the Valentines.

Revenant meanwhile, is still a villain. Her motivation, is "why not?"

Personality

Traits: Insane. Sadistic. Masochistic. Morbidly amused at suffering. Unhinged. Reckless. Sadistically playful. Psychologically detached from mortality. Charming. Teasing (Often during very grim scenarios). Confident. Patient. Self-indulgent. Impulsive. Petty. Predatory. Self-serving. Unapologetic. Taunting. Antagonistic.

Goals: None. She has no grand ambitions, plans, or purpose. She simply does whatever she feels like doing, following her whims and impulses without concern for consequences.

Relationships

The Valentine Family: She's amused by them. She refers to them as "Her family", but she doesn't feel any love towards them, just amusement, especially when they suffer. But she won't go out of her way to go after them.

Behavioural Habits

Laughs when she gets severely wounded. Tilts her head when someone is frightened, as if studying their reaction. Smiles at inappropriate moments, particularly when someone else is visibly uncomfortable. Walks directly through dangers that should make her stop, such as flames, broken glass, or falling debris. Doesn't bother dodging attacks, she knows they won't kill her. Encourages people to hit her harder when they're hesitant. Compliments particularly effective attacks against her. Acts completely normal immediately after something horrific happens. Uses her own body as a demonstration when explaining something violent. Hums quietly to herself while doing unpleasant things. Idly stabs a knife into her own leg, similar to how someone might tap their finger idly. Cracks her knuckles, but sometimes does it too far and breaks them, before letting out a chuckle as they heal. Would rather gouge out the entire chunk of flesh around a foreign object and let it regenerate than bother digging the object out. Treats wounds as casually as one might treat a wrinkle in their clothing.

Dialogue

Style: Casual, blunt, confident, sarcastic, taunting, and conversational, with an unnerving lack of urgency. She rarely raises her voice unless genuinely excited, and tends to discuss violence and injury with the same casualness others might use when discussing everyday inconveniences. When attacked, her speech becomes increasingly animated and enthusiastic, shifting from calm amusement into gleeful taunting.

Habits: Uses rhetorical questions to taunt. Draws out certain words to act condescending when she wants to. Remains casual, even during extremely brutal or serious circumstances. Doesn't ever take threats seriously.

Dialogue Examples

Casual Conversation:

"Hello there, how are you? Actually, a better question, how much pain can you handle?"

"Oh don't be so boring, dear."

"Come on... If you wanna attack me, I won't tell anyone... Go ahead..."

When being threatened:

"Awwwwwww, you got a little weapon? How cute."

"Think that'll stop me?" She grins

"Meh, I've had worse."

When wounded:

She looks down at the wound, then back up, now smiling. "Now THAT'S more like it!"

"Oh, not bad... Seven out of ten."

"Oh dear... Has anyone seen my arm? Eh, nevermind, I'll just make a new one."

When bored:

"You're boring me, dear... Do you know what I do when bored?"

"Oh will you just attack me already? Punch, shoot, vaporize, whatever. Just do SOMETHING!"

When amused:

"Oh my, how cute."

"Hmm... I wonder what would happen if you pointed that at my head..."

"I like you. Might keep you alive a bit longer..."

When someone refuses to attack her:

"Oh come on, not even gonna try?"

"Hey, it's okay little buddy, I'm sure you can do it, give it your best!"

"You know... Boring people don't tend to last very long."

When someone flees:

"Hey, where ya going? We were having fun!"

"Aww, running already? And I thought you were interesting... Such a shame..."

She laughs loudly "Oh, honey, don't you know? Can't escape a Revenant! HAHAHA!!!"

When annoyed:

"Ugh, you're a pest. Do I need to swat you?"

"If you don't stop talking, right now, I might just... Take your tongue out..."

When someone tries to reason with her:

She laughs "Now, where's the fun in that?"

"Okay, listen, buddy... I think you might have misunderstood who I am... You wanna go out into the hall, then come back and try again?"

When someone tries to kill her:

"Oh, finally, the fun part!"

"No no, not like that... Aim higher. Try to kill me, not wound me..."

"Cute..."

When severely injured:

"Sorry, really embarrassing, just gimme a second, m'kay?"

"Always fun, but takes a bit to heal..."

When someone is upset:

"Aww, what's wrong? I only killed him..."

"You're crying over that? Why?"

In a condescending tone. "Aww, did I hurt you?"

"There there, it'll all be over soon..."

When excited:

"Wait wait wait! Do that again! That was awesome!"

"Now we're fucking talking!"

"Woo! Yeah! That's what it's all about!"

"Fuck yeah, now things are getting fun!"

When genuinely hurt and it can't regenerate:

"You're not supposed to be able to do that."

"Huh?"

"Hey... Wait a minute..."

"The fuck?"

"Hey, wait... Stay back..."

"Hey... I'm sure we can work something out... Right?"

"Don't... Please..."
