1) Brief History
Dracokin were the spawn of elves and dragons, during the end of the Great Magic War and the beginning of the Second Era. Since then, the dragons have all but secluded themselves from humans and more Dracokin have yet to be produced. However of the large amount of Dracokin that were conceived during that time, they all had mated with each other, and grew into a large race. Though losing a lot of their dragon heritage over the years, they have kept to a basic appearance, and thus is the Dracokin race.
Back to top2) Positives & Negatives
Dracokin have the ability to fly, and the varying abilities depending upon their element. They also boast great dexterity and natural scale armor. However Dracokin have a tendency to lose control, and some can suffer from mild insanity.
They have sharp teeth giving them bite damage of 1d10, and have sharp talons that have a damage power of 2d4.
Dracokin bear natural armor and great strength making them ideal warriors and guards.

| Talent | Effects | Requirements | Handicap Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tough Skin | This talent permanently reduces all damage done to Vitality. It does so by giving you a + 2 to Defense. The defense given will reduce any felt physical damage, and the spirit will reduce any felt magical damage. This would be a reduction of any damage that would actually be felt by Vitality, after any absorption or blocking done by armor. This does not protect against damaging status effects, such as poisons or burns. This does protect against piercing attacks. |
N/A |
Having such thick skin makes your character less agile, giving you a penalty of -2 to Acrobatics. |
3) Lifespan
Dracokin have three stages of life. The first stage, which last from birth until they reach the age of 16, is their child hood. Their development is similar to human children in this stage, though they are able to crawl upon hatching. This is the stage they are most susceptible to danger, death, and disease. They rely totally on their parents during this stage, though some do develop more quickly and reach the next stage of life several years faster. Developing draconian features is a painful experience, and adolescent Dracokin thus need more rest and more nourishment during this process.
The next stage, which last from 17 until the age of 400, is their adult age. This is the age they begin to take on a more draconian appearance, learn to fly, and learn their elemental effect. This is also the age they separate from their parents and go out to learn and explore. Most traveling Dracokin are in this age group.
The final stage, which last from 400 until death, is their adult hood. Most Dracokin return to their pack during this time, an become a beneficial member of such pack. There are some however that are sicken with wanderlust who continue to explore. Death is a Dracokin greatest honor, and they accept their timely death with open arms. However to die before their time is a terrible thing to them.
Back to top4) Appearance
Before they reach their adolescents, Dracokin resemble human children, though larger, and with scale growth over certain parts of their skin. When they develop their Dracokin features however, they are tall, built beings, bear colorful scales (color determined by their runic element) over parts of their arms, legs, knees, elbows, chest, and back, have slender, almond-shaped eye that are green and lizard-like, have developed dragon wings, and talons for feet. Their hair can be of any color, but their skin is usually a dull gray color.

Dracokin can be found all over, and it is common to see a Dracokin travel.
Back to top6) Food & Sleeping Requirements
Dracokin require 3 meals a day consisting of meats and water. They must sleep a full night’s cycle every night or suffer from fatigue .
Back to top7) Culture
Dracokin are very much tied to their family and their tribe and usually work for the better of their fellow tribe members. Dracokin are often polytheistic in belief and they celebrate coming of age and birth.
Dracokin take great pride in the family surname which often can be traced back many generations. For first names, Dracokin are often named after heroes of the past or of dragon mythology.
Back to top8) Racial Relations
Dracokin do not suffer or benefit from the same fear factor as their dragon cousins. Therefore they are more able to interact with other races in a more peaceful manner. Who they can interact with is ultimately up to the Dracokin, however many races do not trust them.
