Vampire: the Middle Kingdom - MrGone's Character Sheets

Yang
Yang Chi: The vampire can store a number of Yang Chi equal to his Yang Virtue before becoming imbalanced.
Wave Nature: The roll to avoid Wave Nature is a reflexive [Composure + Yang - P'o]; success indicates Wind Nature is
retained. See Soul States, pg. 29.
Lifesight: By concentrating for three turns and making a [Wits + Occult + Yang] - Wall roll, the Kuei-jin can perceive the
Yang world and the spirits in the area for a number of turns equal to the successes on the roll. Spending one Yang Chi allows the
vampire to attune himself to the ebb and flow of life energies around him for one scene. By rolling [Intelligence + Empathy] roll, he
can divine the true feelings two people have for each other or for him, though this roll can only be made upon first meeting between the
subjects that scene. Three turns of concentration and a [Wits + Empathy + Yang] roll allows a Cathayan to either get a feel for the
general emotional ambiance of an area, or “home in” on a mortal evincing a certain emotion (lust, anger, sadness, etc.).
Healing: By manipulating a small amount of his Yang-infused blood (one Chi point's worth), the vampire creates a single
dose of a foul-tasting but potent elixir that will restore a mortal's health. Each draught restores one Health box of lethal damage or two
boxes of bashing.
Aspecting the Corpse: A vampire that animates with Yang Chi is “scarlet cycled.” Yang Chi grants the character a
semblance of life (allowing him to function normally in social situations), but burns through the body quickly: it only animates him for
one night.
Yang Imbalance: A rather common affliction in the Golden Courts, a Cathayan with three or more dots in his Yang Virtue
than in Yin is imbalanced. The vampire can tolerate indirect sunlight exposure for twenty minutes per Stamina dot, and direct sunlight
for five minutes per Stamina dot. However, fire attacks inflict an additional level of damage to him, he's especially prone to catch and
transmit diseases, and is hungry all the time: he is ravenous at five or fewer Yang Chi, and uncontrollable at three or fewer. He also
can't black cycle, and must spend Yang Chi each night to animate himself. The P'o gains an additional die to incite Fire and Wave
Nature, and checks must be more made more frequently. He can now impregnate mortals (or be impregnated, if female); follow the
rules for pregnancy in Kindred of the East, pg. 140
Soul Virtues
Soul Virtues influence a Kuei-jin's behavior in a similar manner as Chi Virtues. A character with high Hun acts with clarity,
purpose and integrity, while one with a low rating works more on instinct and immediate need than intellect. Don't confuse Hun for
morality or honor; it's not uncommon for a Cathayan with a high Hun and low P'o to perform wicked acts with mindful intent. A high
P'o, however, mandates some degree of evil and monstrosity, even if it manifests only during Shadow Nature. Most Cathayans are
prone to evil urges, greed and cruelty by default, and those with high P'o are even more driven thus; discussing vampires with low P'o is
an academic exercise, as no weak Demon could claw its way out of Yomi.
Hun
Retaining Wind Nature: Whenever the vampire's P'o attempts to take control of the character – including when a Demon Art
is evoked – the player rolls [Resolve + Hun - P'o] to retain his Wind Nature. See Soul States, pg. 29, and also rules for using Demon
Arts on pg. 13.
Tempering the P'o: By rolling Hun alone and attaining one or more successes, the Kuei-jin's higher self remains aware of
what the Demon does in his body during Shadow Nature instead of blanking out entirely (but is unable to do much more than observe);
this is a reflexive roll. However, spending a Willpower point allows the Hun to thwart actions taken by the P'o very briefly (for
example, dropping a gun, screaming a warning, etc.).
Sharpened Senses: By concentrating for a turn, the Wan Kuei may add his Hun Virtue to the next basic perception roll he
makes (though not to any supernatural perceptions, such as Cultivation arts or the Deathsight ability described under the Yin Virtue).
Spirit Speech: Assuming the vampire knows a spirit is there (which can be determined through Yangsight or Deathsight), a
[Presence + Hun] - Wall roll allows him to open a dialog with that spirit for a scene .
Empathy: A character's Empathy Skill rating can never exceed his Hun Virtue.
Hun Imbalance: A character with a Hun Virtue three or more higher than his P'o is imbalanced; this state is rare among the
Wan Kuei, as disposed as they are to wickedness. The character can't spend Willpower for extra successes, and can never recover any
more than one Demon Chi upon waking each night.
