Homebrew Drakon Species Details

 We were born into this world, whether willing or unwillingly.

Physical Description

The direct result of a Dragon and Humanoid type creature's blood mixing or Humanoids that have been given blood of dragons tend to take on their traits. Sometimes they end up monstrosities when the blood consumes them.  These are less likely to happen the later the generation of offspring they are. They have horns sometimes, or scales and even tails on their bodies that signal their dragon blood.  However, regardless of the reason, these offspring are often very human-like. They boast strong and muscular physiques. They have dragon shaped eyes and their eyes reflect the color of the dragon whose blood is in them, but the scales can range from a good deal of colors.. Often, they are a few more generations down from that offspring, too. The face and body itself are usually that of a human accented with various draconic features. They are not as common as dragonborns or other draconic creatures.

History

Dragons and humans live in a world together. Whether through love, experimentation, unfortunate accidents humans and dragon blood has found ways to mix and create different species or variants. These beings usually live in more humanoid communities and face some challenges mattering on how much of their dragon features show.  Their alignment can vary depending on their upbringings and how much they interact or travel outside their close cities or villages.

Society

They are few in numbers compared to other races but still have some hidden communities if one know what they are looking for. They are treated something like half-elves in both of their parent's societies. Most time thought they fare no worst than dragonborn and some can be found near these brethren's of theirs so to speak.
