Tisvelk are very slim built and have fair skin, they stand about 5’ to 5’1/2” tall, typically weighing about 110 to 140 pounds. The males and females grown to approximately the same size. tisvelk have Metallic colored hair and skin representative of the type of Metallic dragon they were bred from, on occasion the tisvelk may have a different color hair and skin representing the blood of a Chromatic dragon. Their skin is only the lightest shade of whatever color their draconic ancestor was. Tisvelk have only 2 eye colors Blue, and green this coming from the elvish side of the blood. tisvelk males grow small beards generally in the pattern the "beard" of the dragon they take after would grow in. tisvelk prefer tight fitting flexible cloths as to not hinder their movements, they prefer plain cloths generally in colors of black, grey, or dull greens and browns, but despite their plain taste in clothing they collect fanciful pieces of jewelry whenever they are capable. Many other races, including elves, find tisvelk to be of extreme beauty and grace. The tisvelk reach adulthood at approximately the age of 17 at which point they no longer age until their deaths, most tisvelk live to approximately 700 years of age though some have been known to live as long as 950 years this is extremely rare (Tisvelk retain their vigor throughout the years and therefore do not receive the negatives from old age. Unlike elves tisvelk must sleep though they need only do so for four hours at any given time to be considered fully rested.

• Magic Bonds Tisvelk have a strong magic that keeps them bound to their form making them what they are and in this it makes tisvelk unique for three reasons. 1: A tisvelk can mate within its own direct family but the effects of inbreeding do not effect them, though they despise those that would inbreed. 2: A tisvelk can mate with any creature and the result will always be a child with no sign of its second parents lineage, unless the second parent is and elf or a dragon witch the magic in the tisvelk then alters the result into a hybrid child receiving the best of both and the negatives of neither. 3: A tisvelk gains a +2 against any shape change effects that are against their will.
• +2 bonus on listen, spot, and search check, and like their Elvish ancestors they have a 6th sense to magical portals allowing them to make a search check if they pass within 5 feet of any hidden door as if they were actively searching.
• Tisvelk have the flaw of emitting a magic scent that only dragons can smell, over the years however they have learned to mask this

when awake, allowing them to blend more evenly into society, however if a dragon is within 10 miles of a sleeping or unconscious tisvelk, or 1,000 feet of an awake tisvelk the dragon is able to smell this and recognize the creature for what it is. This often leads to the Metallic dragons coming to investigate the tisvelk so long as the they are capable without interfering with a greater matter, and the Chromatic dragons coming for a free meal or some gold coin.
