Homebrew Dravir Species Details
Born of a dragon father and celestial mother, Dravir are blessed with gifts from both sides of their heritage.
Their celestial heritage gives them an almost destiny-like path in life, one of guardianship, protection against evil, and just generally being a force of good. Some see this as a burden however, and will deviate from this path.
Their dragon heritage makes them proud, strong, and honorable. Honor is everything inside and out of battle, stooping to dishonorable acts is more shameful than dying in battle.
A metal dragon lineage leads toward having a good alignment, being charged by the powers of good to guard the weak, to strike at evil wherever it arises, and to stand vigilant against the darkness.
A gem dragon lineage grants a more neutral alignment, with psychic energy that blazes intensely within them. This drives them to help bring balance to those around them so that their minds do not become clouded with negative thoughts like despair, pain, vengance or hatred. Some gem Dravir wear a mask to block out the world and focus on containing their psychic power.
A chromatic dragon lineage may have a more evil alignment, touched by dark powers their inner light has been replaced by raw elemental power. Theirs is the raw elemental fury of the volcano, of biting arctic winds, and of raging lightning storms, as well as the subtle whisper of swamp and forest, toxic and corrosive.
