\u2564 ~*~*~*~ ABOUT DRAGONKIN ~*~*~*~<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n (to be revealed through future roleplay and stories)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A dragon, using their inherent dragon ability, can shift into a human form.\u00a0 Dragons can live in their human form for a significant amount of time and often absorb the languages around them. During this transformation, a dragon can find a human mate and have children with such.\u00a0 The offspring would be half-dragon, half-human, in essence creating a “dragonkin”.<\/p>\n After around three months, the fetus emerges enclosed in a leathery sac, which quickly hardens into an egg. \u00a0The egg’s coloration is in keeping with what is normal for the dragon or dragon-kin parent (about the same color range as that type’s scales). \u00a0It generally takes ten to twelve months for the egg to hatch. \u00a0The resulting dragonkin will always be of the same dragon type as their dragon or dragonkin parent. \u00a0In cases where both parents are dragons or dragonkin of different elements, offspring will each be of the same type as one parent or the other (random).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As infants, dragonkin are already able to change between dragon and mortal form. \u00a0As a mortal, they appear to be a mostly ordinary infant. \u00a0As a dragon they start out roughly the size of a small house cat, with the physical appearance of their dragon type.<\/span><\/p>\n By the time they are toddlers, dragonkin invariably begin to identify themselves more as either dragon or mortal, devoting most of their time to that form. \u00a0This choice is usually greatly influenced by the environment in which they are being raised. \u00a0They learn to fly around the same time that they learn to walk, though their flight is similarly limited. \u00a0During this time they also develop the ability to breathe small amounts of fire, which at this point is just ordinary flame.<\/span><\/p>\n Upon reaching puberty, the dragonkin’s magical nature inherited from their dragon forebears begins to emerge more strongly. \u00a0It is at this point that their other draconic abilities begin to develop. \u00a0One who has lived primarily in mortal form throughout childhood will generally be less prepared to handle this and will often find these abilities triggering unexpectedly until they learn how to use them properly. <\/span><\/p>\n Early in their lives, dragonkin age twice as fast as humans (4 years worth of aging per real life year). \u00a0This aging slows nearly to a halt once they (in mortal form) appear to be somewhere in their twenties. \u00a0Their dragon form will continue to grow for thousands of years. \u00a0However, those dragonkin who spend their childhood primarily in mortal form will age at a normal human rate (2 years per real life year) until they reach puberty.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As they have spread out to numerous worlds through the ages, dragons have developed a wide range of customs. \u00a0A couple of things remain fairly constant though. \u00a0The lure of treasure, whatever form that might take, is strong and ever-present. \u00a0Attempting to take away anything that they consider to be their treasure is a foolish undertaking at the best of times. \u00a0No dragon can stand to have its intelligence insulted. \u00a0They also have grown accustomed to\u00a0concealing what they are from mortals, though it\u00a0grates at them to have to conceal their identities, which they take great pride in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over the past few years, these dragons and dragonkin have experienced a feeling like they need to go elsewhere. \u00a0This slowly intensifying feeling is driving them toward Sosaria from all other worlds and as it grows stronger, more and more of their kind heed its siren call.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Like full-blooded dragons, dragonkin do not die from old age.<\/p>\n Through regeneration, they are able to recover from\u00a0almost\u00a0any wound that fails to kill them. \u00a0Severed limbs grow back much like a lizard’s tail.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n To be fatal, a wound must be severe enough to kill the dragon more quickly than they can regenerate. \u00a0Examples include piercing the heart or severing the head.<\/p>\n While the regeneration still remains a huge factor, they are much easier to kill in their mortal form due to its physical shortcomings.<\/p>\n Please remember that no one can just \u201ckill off\u201d your character without consent.\u00a0 If you do not consent to being killed off,\u00a0 your death should be role played as a severe injury \u2014 such as being knocked unconscious and needing medical assistance.
