Chan Lin Na

Note: Two things - First, I am not a fan of Kindred of the East. It has some fun art and some fun ideas that helped me conceptualize the notion of a vampire's beast; but given the history of the Kindred, as I understand it - I just don't see how (or why) Wan Kuei (also, I was using "Kuei-jin" when I started this. Assume I mean "Wan Kuei" if you see it somewhere) would exist in the same world (I guess playing a Kindred of the East game without the Cainite baggage might be fun if you edited the book for 5th edition and spent some time studying the Asian cultures all jammed together so you could separate them - also there whole mystical asians thing). Two, er... B. I still like the idea that Kindred from Asia might differentiate themselves from others - perhaps even thinking themselves different, or "above" the vampires the Cainites - maybe even with entirely different Clans with Buddhist or Daoist origins - so Chan Lin Na is based on Ming Xiao from Bloodlines. And by "based on," I mean stolen whole cloth. I took some liberties with her history and motivations, and I made her a Tzimisce so I could give her all (or most) of the powers she demonstrates in that game. I really liked Chinatown in Bloodlines, and I wished it hadn't been so rushed - I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities I wanted to explore if my players ever made it to San Augustin's Chinatown, so here we are. Obviously I also cribbed Wong Ho, Liu (Lu) Fang, and Ji Wen Ja, because they were fun characters who had interesting stories I also wanted to see play out against real players.
If you wanted to represent Chan Lin Na as Wan Kuei, she would probably be Song of Shadow, with Flesh Shintai and Demon Shintai, and possibly a Yin imbalance, and a strong P'o.
