So let's noodle around with Night's Black Agents.
Let's noodle up a new vampire to challenge some agents. This is for the game I'd like to run, I suspect I will never get to run it.
I liked the parts in the book about draining heat and such, so running with that I now have a reverse vampire, which may not be as clever as I would like. They drink blood naturally but also slurp the heat out of people, animals and things, sunning themselves and slowly turning to stone if they lose heat.
The game idea I have is they're an outdated hedonistic anti-state conspiracy, looking back to the Greek city-states as a good time to play men like their own game of Civilization.
