How heavy is the dragon into "Kuei-Jin Special Vamp LARP"

[Knavenformed]

So I stumbled on a very dumb problem to even create a character.
The factions in this game are very different and feel to lock you into a style.

I just feel like The Dragon is what I want to go with, but not with all the asian aspects of power structure and visuals.

And the Illuminati feels the second to go for, I want to understand and even be on terms with the "darkness" unlike the Templars who are, maybe even for very good reasons, one note against all "dark"

Factions are largely cosmetic. Almost all of the difference between them is in cutscenes with only a few missions in the story (usually around transitions between maps like going from new england to egypt) that are entirely unique to each faction.

Just pick the one you enjoy the most because it barely affects actual game play.

Eventually you might even decide to unlock a second character slot and you can play through the full story as the 2 other factions before using the second character as just a daily challenge farm for extra marks.

Ostensibly, the name "Kuei-jin" is supposed to represent the two major cultures involved, with the Mandarin ghost (鬼 kuei) and Japanese person (人 jin) being combined into a single name. Unfortunately, this would only make sense with Western audiences, and wouldn't make any sense at all with the writing systems of the cultures in question.

The Illuminati are ruthless and cutthroat individuals who seek their goals at all costs, but they favor wealth and personal power rather than organizational power, the Illuminati are unapologetic hedonists. While the Templars remain self-righteous, they consider themselves to be the rulers of the world and to therefore have an obligation to protect it and the common man from the creatures that go bump in the night. The third major faction, The Dragon, work to manipulate scenarios in their favor via indirect methods. A whisper of a rumor of a shadow, the Asian group is the most secretive of societies. With no fixed territory or structure, the Dragon have dissolved and reformed through out history. They believe a controlled society is a sick society.

In the OG TWS The Dragon was weighted more towards DPS, with its signature DPS-Heal Fists and DPS-Tank Chaos Magic weapons predominant in the Society's Decks. Dragon had more Mage decks, with more than its share of the Elementalism decks and half of the Blood Magic and Chaos Magic decks.
