===[[Jiangshi|Jiang Shi]]=== Chinese "hopping vampires", formerly human mages as well. They only have access to Celerity, Resilience, and Vigor, but in return they're not destroyed by anything other than fire (upon "death," they teleport to their graves, torpid, at full health). They are like ghosts in that they cannot stray too far from their anchors, otherwise they'd teleport back. Of course, they can use living beings as anchors. There's actually two varieties of them, one from Wicked Dead (aforementioned), and one from Blood & Smoke/2e, who are more like a clan of true Kindred, not being as invulnerable to everything but far more mobile and better adjusted to vampiric society. The latter would be a sixth great clan, were it not for the fact that (A), they need two deaths, one of a person that is completely pure of heart, to raise another of their number, and (B), the Kiss of the Vampire is denied to them (it feels more like a particularly painless frostbite when they chow down), so they have to be really clever and subtle about feeding, and (C), when low on Vitae they appear more visibly corpselike (mold begins growing on their flesh and they become cold to the touch). On the bright side, they can still do the grave teleporting thing, and can change the location of their "grave" if needed (although that requires the death of another pure-hearted person to do so). They specialize in the Animalism, Obfuscate, and Celerity Disciplines. Despite their weaknesses compared to more traditional Clans, there's cities where the Jiang Shi have thrived and even joined with the other Kindred - it's not like the whole "two deaths to do an Embrace" thing is anywhere near the worst thing Kindred in general have to do to keep living.
