Heresy Chip

A profane piece of technology, in fact it edges on Chaos Tech, or is heretek itself. The chip produces an artificial form of undeath.
== Nature ==
A chip planted in the spine, or brain. The cybernetic chip's numerous tendrils spread out across the body, killing the body and taking over its functions. The chip takes over the brains functions of maintaining the consciousness, turning the victim/user into the living dead.
This state may range from a simple animated corpse, but usually cause bodily modifications to turn them into artificial vampires, although, besides the need for blood, they do not have many of the same powers. They can be upgraded to grant superhuman abilities, but for the most part, the individual simply has blood powered regeneration, and can turn and control their victims as ghouls.
Users are still vulnerable to silver, sunlight, and fire, but do not seem to have an aversion to holy objects due to being technologically based instead of true undead. 
== Trivia ==
* Inspired by a similar object from Hellsing.
