Black Dragons

The Black Dragons Society formed in the wake of the end of feudal Japan and quickly took its place as the national Chapter for the Japanese people The Black Dragon Society, or simply Black Dragons, are a prominent force in the Orient and they are known for their strict adherence to tradition, technological capacity and covert nature. 
Status: Active.
== Facts: ==
-The Black Dragons are fierce patriots and they concern themselves with the affairs of state China and Russia have both felt their sting more than once. America has also been the subject of their ire, not least because of the American occupation of Japan following the close of World War II. 
-The Black Dragons live in a country of vibrant polar opposites. Japan is known for its strict adherence to discipline. Even in the 21st century, Japanese businessmen demand old-fashion faxes and mail-shipped invitations as a part of doing business. This despite the well-known stereotype that Japan also has some of the best tech developers in the world and that Japanese society has become highly dependant on electronics. 
-There's also the stereotype of Japan as being a place of... Well, exuberant imagination. Panties in vending machines and a national Phallic holiday will do that for your country (not to mention the really weird anime they pump out). Because of this, many foreign Adepts arrive in Japan expecting nothing but neon-lights and cute weirdness but are surprised to discover a strong society founded on discipline, responsibility and ambition. 
-Japan has a strong ethnic-mindset and foreigners are perpetually viewed simply as outsiders. This is especially the case with Japan's ancient rivals, like China or Korea. 
-There is often a strong divide between the older gentry and the young turks within the Chapter. Younger members of the Black Dragons will be more Liberal, while the leaders are staunch Conservatives. Every now and then there will be a blowup of political unrest in the Chapter as some hot-button issue causes the younger Adepts to lash out at the establishment for change. 
-Oddly enough, the Japanese fixation on precision and industriousness has made them a buddy from Europe. Germany, with its strong emphasis on education and production, has found a partner in Japan. Members of the Thule Society are usually received by the Black Dragons as honored guests. 
== Empire Of The Rising Sun: ==
Japan's imperial days are over, but many of the old guard within the Chapter still pine for a return to Imperial Japan. Japan once claimed both much of inland China as well as the outlying island nations as their own. Some Japanese influence can still be found there, but not like it was before.
