Homebrew Etherealborn Species Details
Unlike typical Dragonborn, Etherealborn are not born physically. Etherealborn manifest in the ethereal plane, slowly absorbing the power/self of whatever dragon's soul passed on and settled there. While most Etherealborn are seen as sharp-featured clouds, some appear as a darker smoke anywhere from grey to pitch black. Despite having wings, they serve no purpose as their ethereal bodies freely float through the air. Their faces bear no features other than the shape of a dragon's head.
Most Etherealborn tend to stay in the ethereal plane, but some absorb the feelings of loneliness and want of companionship from the soul of their past self. Due to this, almost all Etherealborn that are in the material plane are of Good alignment that lean towards Lawful actions.
