You know this kind of reminds me of the power vampire I made once.  He was a
regular vampire but had been outfitted like a harrowed cyborg.  I called him
NOS-4-A2.  In order to power his systems since he didn't have his own
manitou he used a sort of advanced spririt tap that fed off other cyborgs,
harrowed, or anything with a power pack.  This was great fun as one of my
posse at the time had a suit of power armor, Nos just jumped up on the back
and started draining.  I think he could do like 15 charges an action with
both hands and his face.  His other attributes included retractable energy
wings, a small sort of cloaking device and a bit more damage resistance than
your standard harrowed.

I'll see if I can dig up the stats for the new systems but the Idea was cool
anyway.
