Jade+Court+Vampire+(Type+C)

The vampires of Asia are known as the Jade Court. These beings share many elements of the Red, White and Black courts but have a different flavor than other vampires. Generally, vampires of the Jade are divided into two categories, Yin and Yang. Yin vampires are creatures of strength and toughness, beings who strike fear into their prey. Yang vampires, on the other hand, are beings of swiftness and energy, who easily bounce back from injuries and control their prey through lust and pleasure. Despite the stark differences between the two aspects of the Jade Court, their is little conflict between them based solely on their nature. A Yin vampire could easily work with a vampire of Yang and many do, forming teams and partners ships based on exploiting the alliance of their contradictory natures.

Which isn't to say there is no conflict within the Jade Court. There is plenty. The Court is divided into a multitude of major and minor houses and clans, each maneuvering through intrigue, stealth, manipulation or outright violence to expand their power and influence, usually at the expense of another house or clan. The recent destruction of the Red Court will doubtless given the Court new opportunities to expand and one can expect to see the Jade Court vampires bringing their hungers to new lands ripe for exploitation.

Despite seeming human, Jade Court vampires gain new members by adoption and conversion instead of natural birth. They tend to be highly selective of their potential offspring, for the deeds of their "children" will reflect glory (or shame) onto their "parents." A poor selection of a child results not only the destruction of that child, but often the parent who created the child. Thus, prior to investing in the creation of a child, a Jade Court vampire will often watch their prospective recruit for months or years. Some more traditional clans maintain covert breeding programs of their servitor humans and select only the most perfect specimens for elevation to the Court.
