Homebrew Prime Dragonborn Species Details

Prime Dragonborn also known as Dragonkin consider themselves to be the true Dragonborn as they share more draconic features than the regular Dragonborn. Like dragons they can live for hundreds sometimes thousands of years, they have large wings and a tail which is often used in Dragonkin martial arts. Dragonkin were created to fight against elves during a great war that time has forgotten. During that war a powerful Elven wizard sealed them away inside of a of an unknown plane of existence. After this, the dragons created the dragonborn. Many years later the Prime Dragonborn  have returned to the land, but are they here to seek revenge or do they come in peace? Only time will tell... 

Draconic Warriors

The Prime Dragonborn unlike the regular Dragonborn, have two large wings and a strong tail due to their more Draconic heritage. They are typically lighter and more slender than the dragonborn this allows them to fly with ease. The Prime are also taller than their lesser cousins often reaching around 7'4" and sometime even taller. On their hands they have two fingers and a thumb, on each of these there are long claws. Their legs are digitigrade and their  feet have velociraptor-like talons. The Prime Dragonborn also share some of the personality traits of the dragons, this includes their greediness, their lust whether it be for power or otherwise, their aggressiveness, etc.

True Dragonborn have two colours instead of the one, they have a chromatic and a metallic, both are dependant on the element of their dragon ancestor.
