In the first volume, Skinner mentions something about how "sometimes when the old blood mixes with someone new from someplace new, it creates something new" or something like that, so I think the way it works is that generally when you're turned, you become the same breed of vampire as the one who turned you, but sometimes, if you're different enough, there'll be a mutation and you'll become a new breed.

This is one thing that's bugged me for a while: is the type of vampire a person becomes actually based on their nationality, or do vampires of a given type just stick to their own nationality? The first volume seemed to imply the former, and later volumes the latter. If the latter, why did Skinner become a new type? If the former, can't the Carpathians make another American Vampire at any time to find his or her weakness?
