That leaves you with something like 80 million vampires.

vampires can now go out in the sun

Good idea. I also think vampires should not be immune to the sun. It's the classical vampire enemy. I think a good compromise is vampires that don't die under sunlight but who are instead heavily weakened.>1% of the population

Way, way less than 1%.
Also something I should probably add to first page, but there will be very limited VO. My games are known for lots and lots of text.

I urge you to rethink this design choice too.
Sounds like a design issue to me. The way I see it you have two ways of dealing with it:Not being able to go out in sunlight (half the game essentially) is a huge burden.
The idea that by having vampires of your world be crime syndicates you're 'stealing' the Giovanni from WoD is insane. You are at most wielding the same general premise as VtM, which is mafia politicking by vampires. And you cannot copyright sub-genres like that.
Sounds like a design issue to me. The way I see it you have two ways of dealing with it:
1) Not being able to go out into the sunlight isn't a problem if the whole action takes place during the night.
2) Alternatively, you could introduce ways to reduce the impact of the sunlight. Redemption had one section in which you had to use shadows, otherwise you would sustain severe damage in the sun, which made the level more interesting than usual. Or you could use the light part of the day for some in-house activities (similarly to how vampire hunters try to avoid hunting vampires at night). Or delegate minions for certain tasks. That is, if you really want or need your game to take place in the sunlight. How important it really is in the gameplay sense?
Being unable to go out in the day sounds like a good justification for having your own familiars, ghouls, and such to do your day work.
Anyway, since the vampires in your setting are a collection of unrelated supernatural species, why not exchange some of the lineages for non-vampires? Make them cannibalistic werewolves or ghouls, or soul-sucking undead that do NOT prey on blood but create zombies each time they feed on a soul? All parts of the happy supernatural society dabbling in organised crime.
Ridiculous[!]All this talk about The Masquerade copyright is moot, since it's based on real life.
We all know there's a group of bloodsuckers out there, with their own culture distinct from the rest of the world yet infiltrated in all spheres of power, that pass as members of the culture they're exploiting and uses propaganda to hide their influence and unwitting self-reveals. They're also very focussed on their lineage, and clans have formed within the group that have opposing political views and compete for power amongst themselves, yet cooperate still against the masses. They're also very keen on acting via proxy, and have their ghouls, zombies, golems, or whatever you want to call it, do their bidding while they are far removed from immediate scrutiny and blame. One thing they cannot tolerate is being found out for what they are, they hate mirrors, abhor being revealed in the light, and suffer at the sight of Christian symbols. Etc. etc.
Do you mean anti-mnestics or actual anti-memetic tech, something to make the mere knowledge of vampires into an idea that self-erases from anyone's mind on its own? Anyway, I think very few people know about memes in that sense. When reading it, they'll go "huh, memes? well I know memes... what the hell is anti-memes?"SCP Foundation-like organization with access to memetic technology

If magic users are on the hide or have to work in secret, maybe you can have a mage supremacist/terrorist faction that wants to bring magic back? Kind of like Dark Elves from Arcanum.
Anyway, looks cool. Watching.
Because it's banned outside of anything that's not the munchkin den of Legacy, Vintage and Commander.Katana is so boring, why do westerners not like jitte?
