Homebrew Drakkian (Lizardfolk/Human Hybrid) Species Details

The Drakkian are amazing the amount of love they are able to exude would make the gods shiver. Despite Their rough upbringing they are able to keep moving on and fighting for what they believe in and I think we all could learn a little bit from them.

— Trigger, The Original Symbiont

Drakkian are the offspring caused by the love of two very different people and cultures, human and lizardfolk. Due to this Drakkian are one of the newest races to be discovered and for the most part are not able to occur due to the divide of the species anatomically, however miracles do happen and just as how the liger is able to come into existence and have its place in society so to do the Drakkian. They are typically very strong willed and want to incite change in the world by their own means usually in ways of acceptance and equality for all races.

Amalgamation of Culture

With Drakkian being the mixture of the two diverse races, humans and lizardfolk, they in turn are more physically diverse than other common races. An individual can stand from 5 feet to a little over even 7 feet tall and weigh anywhere from 125 to 400 pounds depending on how big the scaled bands on their skin is. Drakkian skin appears as a mixture of both smooth human skin in all of its skin tones to lizardfolk scales and all their supporting hues. Their skin however manifests in bands of these two different races causing Drakkian to look alien in most fashions and be perceived as "ugly" in most culture's eyes. Drakkian reach adulthood in their twenties and live as long as either of their parental counterparts.

Variety in All Things

Drakkian are the most adaptable and ambitious races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they do not tend to stay for long since they must avoid detection in most cases. An individual Drakkian might have a relatively short life span, but they strive to make changes in other cultures and cities that will reach far beyond the reach any single person's memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, Drakkian are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics.

 

Nomadic Hunting

Due to their constant chasing by slavers, bigots, and others of the like Drakkian settlements do not tend to stay around for much longer than a few years. Due to this thinking finding any kind of Drakkian settlement is few and VERY far between. Instead Drakkian will typically live as nomads or solitarily in the wilderness and opt to help those in need when they stumble into their lands. 

Exemplars of Equality

Although Drakkian are typically cast out and looked down upon by others in the world for their "ugly" deformities they still believe in the good of all man and that it just need to be drawn out. This thinking means that most Drakkian tend to take up arms in social fights for equality and acceptance no matter which culture is fighting for because they know the same sting that all of them feel

Drakkian Names

Due to their background being a hybrid of both humans and Drakkian they typically will take up names from one of their parents cultures. This may also cause them to cast aside their given name and take one of their own since both societies look down on such hybrids.
