I'm unhappy with the way revenants are right now, and my code for them is pretty unsatisfactory in comparison to what I know now. Although revenants will still fill the same role of just being spookier ghosts, they'll be a bit more passive - incapable, for instance, of giving diseases to people. The new revenants will be called umbras and will use vitae instead of essence.
Total change list:
Revenants have been renamed to umbras. Essence has been renamed to vitae. This may be temporary.
Umbra spawn events are now weighted higher and spawn an unoccupied umbra. Ghosts are alerted to the umbra's position and may interact with it to take control of it.
Umbras' health is not based on vitae but has a hard cap at 100.
Umbras have a passive vitae drain each tick, defaulting at 0.01. If the umbra runs out of vitae, they will die irrevocably. They also slowly regenerate health by doing this.
When an umbra dies, they leave behind umbral ashes that reform after one minute. They're difficult to see and can be scattered by activating them, although they also have high research levels if you're fast enough.
Harvesting vitae from critical targets no longer kills them. Harvesting a target in general prohibits them from being harvested until five minutes later, but they can be drained again after that.
EMPs revitalize umbras and give them hefty amounts of vitae due to their physical nature.
Umbras have four abilities: Toggle Nightvision, Discordant Whisper, Possess, and Thoughtsteal.
Toggle Nightvision is self-explanatory.
Discordant Whisper is identical to the original revenant's transmit.
Possess allows the umbra to slip into a human's body unnoticed. While in their body, umbras will slowly drain vitae from the human at a tiny rate - not enough to cause harm, but enough to induce adverse effects in the clueless human. These effects intensify over time and eventually lead to the umbra being forced out of their host.
Thoughtsteal paralyzes a living human for several seconds while the umbra steals their memories. After several seconds, the umbra copies the notes of the target's memories and turns invisible - the hapless victim is stunned for several seconds afterwards and can't be Thoughtstolen by the same umbra again. Umbras have an objective to steal the memories of 25% of the station's population.
Salt piles have been added, created by salt shaker or just by splashing salt. These piles will prevent an umbra from passing and reveal them briefly if they try.

Shuttle. This is independent of the announcement system, and the (F)

Also I got rid of a trailing return.
- We no longer leave a blood trail if blood_volume is below a certain level which depends on the brute damage received. This way dragging a wounded player does have a bad effect.
- We no longer give humans a second reagents var containing blood, and we don't put exotic blood in the mob's reagents. Now we don't store any blood substance inside the mob, we only have a blood_volume var. When we draw blood with syringe we create the reagent that match the type (blood reagent, or an exotic blood reagent)
- can't draw blood from mob if it's low on blood, so we can't empty a mob of its blood entirely.
- Removed the blood type preference appearing in character setting.
- blood pack automatically show blood type, unless manually labeled.
- removed bloody_hands_mob human var and same name glove var.
- Some animals now have blood (pets, goat, cows)
- hitting and dragging mobs with actual blood in their veins leaves blood on you and a trail on the floor.
- probably other stuff that I'll mention in the PR.
* Actually fixes announcements the right way
* Flips the SOUND_ANNOUNCEMENTS bitflag so that having it means you hear announcements
* Updates the save file version
+Fixes a bug where using the buttons in the Preference menu to change your Ghost Accessories or Ghosts of Others preference wouldn't save to your savefile.
+Changes the name of the "Ghost Display Settings" preference toggle to "Ghosts of Others" to fit in line with what the preference is called in the code and in the setup window.
