Leiche

Leiche are corpses revived after death by Deathforms implanting a piece of themselves inside.
== Background ==
Upon a Deathform appearing on Earth, they may choose to implant a piece of their body in the bodies of the victims they killed. There are a variety of methods in doing so, but the outcome is always a reanimated person that retains the injuries that killed them. Certain damage such as removed limbs may be reattached or regrown, but will have markings that clearly show where they were once removed or lost. The Leiche may also have certain attributes that resembles the Deathform that revived them, along with their abilities, though they aren't' quite as strong as the original.
The personality of a Leiche is wholly dependent on how much of the Deathform is inside the corpse. They typically choose to implant around 10-20% of themselves into a suitable body, which results in a mindless creature that kills and feeds upon anything in their path, not unlike a Revenant. However, in some cases, a Deathform my choose to implant 50%-their whole form into a body, at which point it grows stronger, can use it's abilities more freely, and gains a personality. Said personality depends upon the condition of the brain. But in most cases, it's similar to the original person though one or more aspects or personality traits may be different or warped. Most Leiche with higher brain function have a more aggressive nature, though they can follow the orders and will of another.
The abilities of some Leiche can burst through the skin and organs of the host body, but so long as their allowed time to regenerate, they can be replaced and repaired. Though the process is similar to standard healing, and therefore takes a while.
A special device was created that can prevent a Leiche from using their abilities. Strangely, it seems the Leiche do this by sending a signal from the brain through the nervous system. As such, the device can weaken the connection or block it outright, which therefore prevents a Leiche from activating their abilities.
Due to their nature, Kurayami has captured many powerful Deathforms in an attempt to create suitable Leiche with powerful abilities and extreme loyalty in order to ensure public safety. The results of these experiments have been mixed at best.
== Leiche Variants ==
Leiche in most cases are fairly uniform in capability and purpose depending on the percentage implanted, but there are also Leiche with unique traits that make them stand out from the rest. These are known as Variants.
