I run the Jade Court as basically Jiang-Shi, the asiatic vampires. This is my writeup of your average one.
High Concept
Jade Court Vampire
Other
Jiang-Shi, Secret Court, Not A Joke, Hopping Vampire
Skills
Great: Fists, Discipline
Good: Endurance, Might
Fair: Athletics, Alertness
Average: Contacts, Lore, Resources
Stunts
Hopping Mad (Athletics): Gain a +2 to any Athletics check made to jump. These suckers got hops.
Powers
Human Guise [-0]
Claws [-1]
Living Dead [-1]
Feeding Dependency (Chi) [+1] affecting
Supernatural Strength [-4]*
Mythic Toughness [-6]*
Supernatural Sense [-1] (Breathing)*
Chi-Eater [-5] (At range, Giga Drain, Magic Eater)*
Limitation [+3] are their classic weaknesses- Peach wood, the blood of a black dog, rice, eggs, and fire. None of the powers marked with the asterisk function when doused in the blood of a black dog and they gain the Horrible Pain aspect, peach wood weapons and fire bypass their Toughness, and being hit with an egg removes their Human Guise and downgrades their Strength to Inhuman.
Total Refresh Cost: -13
Stress
Social: 00
Mental: 00
Physical: 0000(000000)
CHI EATER [-1]
You devour life-force and the inherent magic from human beings, be it by touch or with a simple glance.
Effects
Feeding Touch: Physical contact is necessary for a satisfying meal. With a touch, you may draw the chi out of your victim. Treat as a Weapon:2 physical attack using Discipline. This can also be done as a maneuver or a block, adding aspects like Feeling Faint or Too Weak to Move to your victim. Gain a +1 on subsequent feeding rolls if the first one succeeds.
At Range [-1] You may use this ability on targets up to a zone away without touching them.
Giga Drain [-1] Your chi drain becomes Weapon:4.
Magic Eater [-2] You can use your Chi Drain in it’s purest form- Sucking magic out of the very enviroment and your victims. You may now use your Chi Drain as a magical block, adding it’s weapon rating to your Discipline to determine the strength of the block. In addition, you can now apply aspects like Magically Inert and Powerless to victims of your Chi Eater, and can apply scene/zone aspects like Dead Magic Zone and Lifeless Blight. Requires Giga Drain.
The Chi Drain power could use some work or just get replaced with Natural Weaponry, but meh.
I generally run the Autumn Court as basically Halloween Town from a Nightmare Before Christmas. Spring is something i've never seen run, but i'd use DnD's approach to the Day/Seelie Court- a bacchanalian affair. Almost the party court, and more obsessed with growth and plants than Summer.
Here's a slightly different take on the Jade Court: An Jung-guen

I wrote that one intending to scare White Council wizards. :) Hard enough to kill a regenerating spirit, even harder when it thinks you're a tasty snack and habitually possesses otherwise innocent humans.
In the long run you'll want to create or choose a version which fits your concept. There are far more answers than one or two. ;)
Hmm. "Regulator" Courts. Interesting idea. Given the actual duty of the Winter Court, which I won't spoil for those who haven't read Cold Days, I basically envisioned Autumn as a
sort of Homeland Security against the Outside. If any of them, including Nemesis, get past Winter, it's Autumn's job to kick them out again.
