Editing The Yàngbǎn (section)

===Appearance===
All Yàngbǎn wore gem-like masks that covered their faces and ears.<ref name="27.2">[[Extinction 27.2]]</ref><ref name="I22.y e1"/><ref name="28.1">[[Cockroaches 28.1]]</ref> Their costumes were colour-coded and varied depending on their task.<ref name="28.5e1"/>

The Yàngbǎn who showed up to the [[New Delhi]] Endbringer battle wore flowing costumes with loose sleeves and pants, somewhere between a martial arts uniform and a military uniform, crimson with a black design of horizontal and vertical lines at edges of the sleeves and pants.<ref name="23.5e1">They were lined up like musketeers, rank and file, each a set distance apart from the others.  The ones in front were kneeling, the ones behind standing.  Each wore a mask that covered their faces, flowing costumes with loose sleeves and pants, somewhere between a martial arts uniform and a military uniform, each crimson with a black design of horizontal and vertical lines at edges of the sleeves and pants.  There were nearly thirty of them.<br>
All together, they directed lasers at him, aiming for his one red eye.  He blocked the concentrated laser-fire with one claw, and the flesh at the base of the obsidian claw began peeling away.<br>[...]<br>"Excepting diplomatic functions, this is the first time in over a decade that any of the Yàngbǎn have set foot outside of China," Defiant said.  "We've tried to arrange for their aid in the past, but relations between our side and theirs are sour.  For years, they've alleged that the PRT and the Protectorate are fundamentally corrupt, the source of the problems currently plaguing the world." - [[Drone 23.5]]</ref> They had red masks.<ref name="30.3"/>

The ones that interrogated [[Lung]] wore red masks, jackets and pants, each with their number embroidered on the shoulder.<ref name="I22.y e1">They appeared, descending from above, floating.  Two of them this time.  They made no mention of his lack of clothes or his shaggy hair.  Both wore identical uniforms, red jackets and pants, their red masks turning their faces into overlarge, featureless gemstones with coverings over their ears.<br>At each of their shoulders, there was a number.  One-six and two-seven. - [[Interlude 22.y]] </ref>

The group that attended the [[Gold Morning]] meeting with [[Cauldron]] wore similar uniforms to those of the [[New Delhi]] group, although possibly in different colors.<ref name="27.2>[[Extinction 27.2]]</ref>

The infiltration team that attacked [[Earth Tav]] wore black costumes with bodysuits beneath, and dark blue masks.<ref name="28.4e1"/>

Three teams defended the Imperial palace during [[Gold Morning]], wearing masks of white, purple, and yellow respectively. A fourth squad with jade green masks guarded the Imperial family inside the palace, and a small group with red masks were hidden by holograms.<ref name="30.3e1">I could see the Yàngbǎn in full force.  Three groups of sixty to one hundred and thirty capes, arranged on broad, square platforms of stone that had been raised off of the ground, each facing outward, their backs to the palace. Every one of them was in a matching outfit, their masks white, purple, and yellow, in turn.  They were tending to wounds, and the gaps in their number suggested they’d taken heavy losses.<br>[...]<br>a fourth squad of Yàngbǎn ringing the group in concentric circles rather than in rows and columns.  This squad wore masks like the others, multifaceted gemstones large enough to cover their faces, but the gems were a jade green.  The bodyguards, thirty in all.  The scariest capes in their group.<br>[...]<br>There was another contingent of Yàngbǎn within one of the revealed partitions.  Red masks, like the ones I’d seen in New Delhi.  A small squad of throwaways. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/19 Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.3]]</ref>
