I understand the canon for Revenant is that it's become like, an actual profession people can train to become and they can pick and choose what they channel but honestly I fully look at that lore and go 'nah'. For my own worldbuilding I like Revenant to be something generally a person will almost always accident into, the thing that makes you a Rev is always a truamatising experience cause fusing a echo into your head cannot be anything different even if you want it. Its either an accident or someones hubris getting the better of them and seeking out answers in the mists they shouldn't. Similarly I work with the idea you don't really get to pick what echo/s set up shop in your brain. At best you can influence it by finding the right place in the mists with what you want, but otherwise it's more about who picks you. I imagine there is some 'recruitment' into it in my lore but it's... kinda stigmatised, it's a admirable sacrifice if you volunteer for the programme but people who come about it in other ways often keep it to themselves and generally it's a faux pas to ask someone what their echo is.
