history:

a long time ago some good hearted dragon's that wanted to co exist with humans, elves, and dragonborn decided to live among humans, elves, and dragonborn by changing their form to look like humans. these good hearted dragons call themselves Dragomen in order to not be confused with the lizard like mainly meat eater dragons that heroes encounter and these good dragons are mammalian and they are omnivores which set them apart from the ordinary evil dragons and good dragons.

an ancient legend of the creation of the dragonborn:

legends tell of a different origin of the dragonborn that states that dragonborn are the result of humans or elves mating with members of the Dragomen species.

lifestyle of the Dragomen species:

the dragomen don't flaunt their dragon forms but they mainly stay in human form since their human form is more pleasing to most of the eyes of elves, humans, and dragonborn. the Dragomen species have the same desires and hated things as humans do, so beings that are like humans more easily become friends with the members of the Dragomen species. members of the dragomen species can be female or male.

special abilities

you can use either speak with the dead or detect magic three times per long rest:

 

Detect Magic:

For ten minutes, you sense the presence of magical effects within 30 feet of yourself. If you sense such effects, you can take an action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears the magic, and if an effect was created by a spell, you learn the spell’s school of magic.

The spell is blocked by 1 foot of stone, dirt, or wood; 1 inch of metal; or a thin sheet of lead.

 

speak with dead:

while concentrating for ten minutes, you grant the semblance of life to a corpse of your choice within 10 feet, allowing it to answer questions you pose. The corpse must have a mouth, and this spell fails if the deceased creature was Undead when it died. The spell also fails if the corpse was the target of this spell within the past 10 days.

Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are antagonistic toward it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn’t return the creature’s soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can’t learn new information, doesn’t comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can’t speculate about future events.

friendly insect attack

because your sweat is sugary enough to attract pollinating insects and you are friendly to those insects, they will attack a enemy target that you want to attack once per short rest.

Insect Attack. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 15, one creature the dragon can see within 120 feet. Failure: (1d10) Poison damage, and the target has disadvantage on saving throws to maintain concentration until the end of its next turn. Failure or Success: The dragon can’t take this action again until the start of its next turn.
