Dragonkin

Dragonkin are humans, with the blood of dragons, thanks to blessings bestowed upon their ancestors by the Dragon Sovereigns. This gives them many draconic traits, and sets them apart from regular humankind. They are fairly rare, but widespread, and are most common in civilisations who worship dragons.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Dragonkin are as varied as dragons themselves, however, there are a few things that are consistent.
Dragonkin have mostly human bodies and faces, though they may have scaling on their brow or jaw, and pointed ears. Most will have slit pupils, and some may even have large draconic horns upon their head. The most common features for dragonkin are scaled hands and feet, which end in sharp claws. Some may even have a reptilian tail.
Dragonkin appearance is largely determined by the nature of the dragon who granted their ancestor a transformation. A Dragonkin with Earth Dragon heritage will usually have thicker scales, in colours of brown or grey, while a Dragonkin related to a Water Dragon will be more streamlined, with fins, and blue scales. The colour of the Dragonkin's scales is also determined by the draconic ancestor; Fire dragons generally having red or orange scales, water dragons having blue, etc.
=== Elemental Affinity ===
Dragonkin will usually have a magical affinity with the type of dragon that they are connected to. For example, Dragonkin descended from the Arcane Dragons will have an affinity with arcane magic. Some Dragonkin will inherit certain abilities from their draconic connection, such as the ability to breathe fire.
All Dragonkin are connected to an element, just like dragons are, and as such they often have a natural affinity for that element. If a Dragonkin learns magic, they are intuitively drawn to the element of their heritage. They also often have a personality which correlates with their element; Fire Dragonkin will be naturally passionate, and often quick to anger, Earth Dragonkin will be stoic and stubborn, and so on.

=== Relations with Humans ===
Dragonkin are fairly rare in human society, but many can be found in civilisations which worship dragons, or in large diverse cities. They get along with humans easier than the other creatures in this list, since their minds and personalities are not too affected by their draconic traits, and they look mostly human. Some of the less subtle dragonkin can be ostracized by humans, especially in rural or intolerant societies.
