Homebrew Draakia Species Details
Created by Vivian Soria.
Draakia are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in only one place on Vitore known as Welatê Kesk until now. Albiet a rare occurence, the presence of a Draakia outside of Welatê Kesk is not unheard of, although most Vitorans would mistake them for Cauldron-Born. Not born of egg or womb, Draakia are produced by taking a part of pieces of their parent's souls, and then woven into existence through ancient and complicated magic.It is rumored that some Draakia are children of Palaneirrim who mastered the art of balance.
Physical Description
While, indeed part mortal, Draakia are made up of magic. They are humanoid in nature, whose features can range the full spectrum of humanoid features as well as including the multitude of scale patterning for the draconic portion. Their size at largest is that of a small human teenager, no more than 5 and a half feet tall. Their hair color usually mimics their scale color or vice versa. Their eyes are sharp, like a dragons, with their a natural iris color, and a golden ring around the pupil.
The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strongly through them. Their Draconic features, when they eventually grow, often are reflected in their connection to Urdaz being bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.
Society
Draakia's don't often leave the community and solidarity of The Thunder, the lifestyles between humanoids and dragon being too wildly different for Draakia's to feel at home.

Breath Weapon
You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your Draakia ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance

Glide

Trance
Draakia don't need sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours a sleep.
Born of Magic
You have advantage of saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
