You never knew your parents. The only parent that you know of is one of a giant size, covered in scales, with a breath that could easily kill you. However, this beast raised you as one of its own. This dragon allowed you to keep your life, while teaching you a few of its own tricks.

Discuss the nature of the dragon that raised you. Was it a chromatic dragon, teaching you the greed and cruelty of Tiamat, or was it a metallic dragon, teaching you the kindness and generosity of Bahamut? How famous (or infamous) is it? Is your surrogate parent still ruining cities or benefitting them?

What were your activities growing up? Did you help your parent with their plundering, or were you stuck in the cave, tidying up the gems and other goodies that were plundered?

Suggested Characteristics

Your draconic parent has raised you as well as they could, but you still developed a personality of your own.

You can use the following characteristics or use the characteristics from the Hermit or Urchin backgrounds.

d8	Personality Trait
1	My draconic parent has instilled a great sense of honor in me. If I have wronged someone, I must right it, or my mind will not be at ease.
2	I have learned from my parent that no one is good, so why should I try to be?
3	I have found that chaos is more fun to be around than order. My parent may or may not have instilled that in me.
4	I've always been told that everyone gets what's coming to them. I'll make sure that comes true.
5	All good from the world comes from some form of chaos. I'm the driving force in that chaos.
6	I try to see the good in people, be it through their actions or their words.
7	I tend to clash with my allies over what is good or bad. I just do what I want.
8	Secrets are my closest friends. Why tell anyone your every secret?

d6	Ideal
1	Hope. I strive to do good by my draconic parent so that dragons may be seen in a positive light one day. (Good)
2	Defense. My parent has been attacked too much. By becoming stronger, I can hope to protect them in the years to come. (Neutral)
3	Power. I strive to attain the power that my draconic parent has sought their entire life. Whether it be through wealth, kingship, or physical strength, I will stop at nothing to gain power. (Evil)
4	Riches. I seek to gain the same amount, if not more, riches than my parent has or will ever have. (Any)
5	Knowledge. My draconic parent has taught me all that they know. I hope to learn more than they knew so that I may teach others whenever I can. (Any)
6	Loyalty. No amount of money or power would ever be able to take me away from the bonds that I've forged, whether with my parent or my friends. (Good)

d6	Bond
1	My parent gave me something that was sentimental to them, and I hope to keep it to give to my children one day
2	I would die to protect my parent from those who would wish them harm.
3	Everything that I do is to bring glory to my parent and honor to their name.
4	My parent entrusted me with a great secret. If that secret were to be lost, something terrible could happen.
5	I owe my life to my parent. They raised me when no one else would.
6	I stole something I shouldn't have and almost got my parent killed. I hope to atone for that sometime in the future.

d6	Flaw
1	I sometimes forget that I am not a dragon myself, and am not as intimidating.
2	I will pocket any loose change or gems that are laying around, regardless of their worth.
3	I constantly pick fights with creatures much larger than me.
4	Anyone I know might be after that which is mine, so I must shut myself away to keep them from my wealth.
5	I try to keep from spending any of my acquired wealth. To do so would be an insult towards my parent.
6	I am constantly under the impression that someone is out to get me due to my collection.
