Fact: Darth Revan, or the Revanchist, was a Human Male (in our case a lady @female_revan) who follows the typical Dark Jedi path by falling to the Dark Side and then Redeeming in the end.
Little was known about Revan's parentage. It is thought that he was from the Outer Rim Territories, but nevertheless he was suitable for tutelage in the Ways of the Force. He was trained on Dantooine along with a friend Alek by Jedi Master Kreia. He was thought to have an insatiable desire to learn as much as he could. As with his childhood, little is known of all of his training. It is possible that he could have had 3 different trainers. All who held different opinions of his demenor and desire to learn. One apparently thought he was too eager to learn, often searching for knowledge pertaining to Sith magic. According to Jedi Mical he trained in Force bonding. By 3,963 BBY he had attained the rank of Jedi Knight.
Sometime after his appointment of Jedi Knight Revan began to gain a following by many people in the galaxy after his involvement in some Republic and Mandalorian affairs. It was because of his charasma and mislead followers that he eventually earned the title the Revanchist. He began to preach of Jedi intervention in the brewing Mandalorian Wars. In 3,961 BBY he found a Star Map on Kashyyyk that led him to Korriban. Here he discovered the Sith temple and what happened inside is largely unknown. However his former master Kreia assumed that he found of the Sith's great evil and in order to combat them, learned himself in their Ways. In order to end the Mandalore Wars Revan chose to use a massive superbomb to destroy the Mandalore fleet, but several Jedi opposed his opinion and instead he fought Mandalore the Ultimate and killed him in battle. The decision led to massive losses for both the Mandalorians and the Republic. In the resulting aftermath Revan, whose questionable tactics had led many Jedi to the Dark Side, refused to let the Mandalorians choose a replacement leader and exhiled them. This was the beginning of the first famous Bounty Hunters and mercinaries that the Mandalorians are famously known for being.
Shortly after the end of the wars Revan returned to Dantooine with a newly converted Jedi named Malak. His intent here was to investigate yet another Star Map and discover the whereabouts of the Star Forge. Warned by Malak that intruding on the Jedi Enclave would reveal their intent as Dark Jedi, Revan chose to cast asside the gurads and examine the Star Map. Having discovered and examining the Dantooine Star Map, Revan and Malak went on to find three more. In their studies they found the previously unknown Lehon system and made for the find. Once inside the system they crashed on the planet Lehon and were attacked by primitave Black Rakata. However being Sith they easily bested the Rakata. Revan made his desire to find the Star Forge evident to the Rakata, but their primitave minds did not understand the common language. Revan used the Force to uniquely drive common into their heads and afterward was taken to their leader The One. The same technique was used on him but it was discovered that they knew nothing of their past, but a tribe called Elders may know. Revan, instead of destroying them, decided to approach them in peace. His decision proved to be the right one and he learned about the past he sought. Revan knowing their loathe for their violent past said he served the light and sought to destory the Star Forge. Convinced the Rakata gave him access to the Temple of the Ancients to learn of the Star Forge's location. However, instead of destroying it as promised. He declared himself to them a new Dark Lord of the Sith.
Knowing of the capabilities of the Star Forge's dark power, Revan chose to use the artifact to construct a fleet big enough to take on the Jedi. Malak scoffed at his stupidity, but Revan explained how the device had once led the Rakata into civil war with themselves. He had no desire to repeat the same mistake. Once large enough, Revan left with his fleet and declared war on the "tyrannical" Jedi Order, starting the Jedi Civil War.
After several battles during the Jedi Civil War Malak thought himself to be stronger than Revan. Eventually the Jedi caught up with the pair and cornered them, but Malak seeing it as his opportunity betrayed him, saying that he was finally stronger than his master and fired on the bridge where Revan and his Jedi captors held him. The attack left him incapacitated and allowed for Malak's escape. Because of Malak's betrayal Revan was left with a bad case of amnesia. He no longer knew himself to be the Dark Lord of the Sith he had once been. He was thought dead by many, but kept alive by his Force bond with a former Master Bastila Shan. The Republic and Jedi siezed the chance and molded him to be a weapon to help capture Malak.
Around a year after his new identity had been imposed upon him Revan rescued a captured Shan was granted retraining by the Jedi. He was charged with finding Malak and his fleet and resulted to re-examining the Star Maps to find the Star Forge once again. However during this Malak revealed to him that he had been a Dark Jedi and recaptured Shan. Revan, undaunted, loved her and after finding the final Star Map, found the Star Forge. Once there he fought and defeated Malak and redeemed Shan who Malak had twisted to his will. Memories of his former self continued to return and a year after the defeat of Malak he decided to leave alone and confront the "true" Sith on his own.
As of 3,623 BBY it is still thought that he never returned.
