Doppio sangue

Doppio sangue, or "double blooded", are terms used by Giovanni vampires to describe those who were embraced into the clan but who came from the minor families associated with it.

Overview

The double blooded Giovanni are considered inferior by the unico sangue - those who were born into the main branch of the Giovanni family and not only embraced into it. On the other hand, the doppio sangue are still considered to be far more meritorious than other vampires.

This crypto-eugenic arrogance isn't just theoretical, but also practical. If a project is important, it doesn't matter whether a Pisanob is more powerful, if a Dunsirn is more informed or a Rosselini more experienced: usually, an unico sangue Giovanni will be entrusted with the ultimate authority over it.

Not only that — the Giovanni are more willing to risk shedding double blood than they are their own pure, precious, unsullied single blood. So when a really dangerous shit job comes along, the double blooded are the ones who are sent to the slaughterhouse. Of course, the double blooded don't necessarily agree with all this bullshit, but they can do little more than roll their eyes and grumble among themselves.
