Breaking News: Unturnings?!
#1
In July 2022, snippets of leaked government documents and emails were sent to dozens of news outlets worldwide. They revealed the results of an international effort to discover ways to revert weres and vampires back to humans, claiming the information was being “held hostage by red tape.”

Though the vast majority of the reports were not leaked, it’s implied throughout that many, many methods were attempted and failed, sometimes to lethal effect. The excerpts also describe the were and vampire test subjects as volunteers, though there’s media debate on how true this is. (Or how informed those volunteers were.)

The primary content of the reveal is evidence of psychic pacts successfully reverting weres (referred to in the report as “shifters”) and vampires back to human status. This was only managed a few times, as it seemed pacts were unable to repeat the process again for at least the nine-month duration of this particular project.

A few other few important notes were highlighted:

Notes on weres:
  • All members of the psychic group needed to be wearing or holding some amount of silver for the process to succeed
  • Weres who successfully reverted had “great difficulty” interacting with current weres
  • Several sensitivities, including to silver, remained for at least six months after the psychic process
  • An attempt on a lifelong were produced “extremely unsatisfactory” results despite following identical processes
Notes on vampires:
  • All members of the psychic group provided “some amount” of their blood to the vampire in the moments before for the process to succeed
  • Vampires who successfully resurrected displayed sudden, rapid aging that continued until reaching approximately to meet their actual age. This resulted in “unsustainable aging” for certain participants
  • Several sensitivities, including to sunlight, remained for at least six months after the psychic process
What does this all mean for your character? They’re likely to see these reveals on the news! Whether they trust this information is up to you. As a player, you can see the full details in the handbook under weres and vampires as well as the pact section!
