Dracen (5e Race)
Half-Dragons[edit]
| “ | “Our world is not our own. The skies are controlled, so are the ground, and even the earth beneath our feet. The fact that no human rules this world is something no human can accept. It says the same for the elves, deep in their forests and the dwarves, deep in their mines. No matter where you are, you will always find dragons, in their everlasting glory.” | ” |
Physical Description[edit]
The Dracen are a species of humanoid creatures of abnormally large size. Their heritage from dragons grant them no things such as the ability to fly or the lungs to breath fire, but deformaties that will perhaps be useful in the long run. Skin of hide and strange colors, dry hair that seems to tough to just cut, these humanoids, blend of dragon and human, are both cursed and blessed.
History[edit]
The Dracen are the result of a humans copulation with a dragon. They are shunned from society, and usually live alone, or in the poor parts of cities where noone really cares about their heritage. Most called them cursed creatures, with a admiering few counting them as blessed for being born from the result of a copulation of such a magnificent species. But the truth is that the Dracen are often not wanted by any parent, as they are simple deformaties. Not the child wanted, they are not perfect, and they will never be.
Dracen Names[edit]
Dracen usually adopt the naming scheme of their parent's society. On rare occasions, they may also have a draconic name either as their only name or nickname.
Male: Dargad, Rylrad, Muzeoret, Gramriecrinth
Female: Vyganth, Charrail, Taldrelay, Sadhurth
