Nanite monster(?), Technology copying magic Options

[Stormdrake]

Was watching “Trinity Blood” (anime) last night and was thinking about introducing their version of a vampire into my game. Basically they are the result of nanite technology that feeds off of the hosts blood at a destructive pace. If the host wants to live it is forced to provide the nanites blood from other sources.

These vampires have a prolonged lifespan, superior strength, and enhanced speed. They also have healing and regeneration abilities as long as the host offsets the nanites need for blood.

In addition to their athleticism and stamina, these “techno-vampires” also possess varying individual powers. Most frequently, this power manifests itself in the form of a blade that comes out of the arms, claws, or even as sharp, prehensile hair. Some techno-vampires have displayed an ability to produce an elemental (fire or ice) offensive capability akin to elemental Aura or ranged attack”. All techno-vampires are capable of going into "haste mode" in which they can achieve incredible levels of speed for short durations by stimulating their nervous systems. If used too long, they can become severely fatigued.

The techno-mapire must drink blood in order to replenish the blood they have lost to the Bacillus. Their fangs serve as hyperdermic needles in a blood transfusion. Unlike vampires of myth, these can have children and they can and must eat normal food. However, they must avoid sunlight, as it will cause the Bacillus to rapidly devour their body instead of just their red blood cells. Also, silver can cause them serious injury and death as it acts as an antibiotic to the Bacillus.

So I see them as having the equivalent of the following:
• Enhanced Strength
• Wireless Reflexes but with a limiter akin to that used for certain adept abilities.
• Enhanced Body (for healing tests only)
• Regeneration - Basically trading boxes of health in drunken blood to offset damage received. Figure the infected can only hold as many physical boxes of blood as their body rating.
• Razor claws/forearm blade/medusa hair (one of)
• Elemental Aura – Possibly elemental ranged attack.
• Extended life (Fluff but the reason many would infect themselves)
• Allergy to the sun moderate
• Allergy to silver severe
• Health lose of one box of physical a day

This is not something for PC’s but rather something a corporation may have come up with and either lost control of or are attempting to turn all of their people into.
