Homebrew DragonKin Species Details
10,000 years ago there was a war against Dragons and humans. the dragons lost and most if not all were hunted down. there was one dragon priest named Enire. Enire for-saw the dragons losing the war and put a spell in place that would let dragons live forever. it was called eternity and was activated when a dragon of pure and royal decent spoke these words on the night of the rebirth moon. ( night of the rebirth moon is when all three moon's, Sentena, Arsen, and Aurora line up in front of the star ( Igneel ) which emits a deep golden glow across all the realm.) "Ofan Vahzah UI" which translates to "bestow true eternity" in dragon tongue. this spell took all the remaining magic energy from any living dragon and broke it into pieces which would merge with the biggest race ( population wise ) giving them the abilities of dragons. some stayed there original shape and look were others got a couple mutations such as wings, horns, scales, a split and lounger tongue Ext... . ironically enough it was humans so they became the thing they wanted to destroy most. they decided to change there races names to Dragonkin Spirits mind you this did take a while to happen.
Born of Dragonkin spirits, as their name proclaims, the Dragonkin spirits walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. combined with the bodies of humans and the souls of dragons they have the best of both worlds. Some Dragonkin spirits are faithful servants to true dragons, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.
Proud Dragon Kin
Dragonkin spirits look much like humans with some having more dragon like features. The first Dragonkin spirits had scales of vibrant hues matching the colours of their dragon kin. the ones that are born with scales still manage to keep the truest of and brightest of colours. Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in colour, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 150 - 300 (depending on how dragon like they are) .
The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some Dragonkin spirits clans. These Dragonkin spirits often boast mutations that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.
Self-Sufficient Clans
To any Dragonkin spirits, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragonkin spirits owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods. Each Dragonkin spirits conduct reflects on the honor of there clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each Dragonkin spirits knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.
the Dragonkin spirits have a strong drive to be the best at every thing they do, there immense pride overwhelms almost every emotion in there body. they say that a Dragonkin spirits pride is a massive rowing fire. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. A Dragonkin spirit will spend there entire lives to master 1 particular sill or aspect of life. though there are some who try to master multiple things at once to prove there belonging within there tribe. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn the respect of Dragonkin spirits.
Though all Dragonkin spirits strive to be self-sufficient, they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is the clan, and when a clan needs help, it turns to another Dragonkin spirits clan before seeking aid from other races—or even from the gods.
