Draconic Angel, Variant[edit]

Physical Description[edit]

Draconic Angels inherit their appearance mostly from their Angelic parent. At first glance, they appear to look just like humans, aside from the retractable wings they sport on their back. Upon closer inspection, however, most Draconic Angels will possess a thin sheen of dragon-like scales on parts of their skin. The scales are the same color as their skin, making them difficult to notice without intentionally looking for abnormalities, and they tend not to manifest on the face or upper-back. In rare cases, a Draconic Angel may have dragon-like eyes similar to their parent’s. Their wings, appearing to be made of feathers, are actually composed of small dragon scales, colored in the metallic sheens of their parents. Having inherited their appearances from their Angelic side, Draconic Angels retain their youthful or mid-aged appearances for the entirety of their lives, never growing visibly old. Though many would see them as beautiful from afar, many more would shhun them when first realizing they are part Dragon, and not a true angel. Being seen as a sub-race in most places, many choose to wear cloaks to hide their wings against their back to avoid attention and to help lead a standard life. Even so, many who have risen to power have already shown their true lineage to gain trust, meaning no matter what it is still possible to gain power as you will have the beauty of your angelic parent on your side.

History[edit]

Draconic Angels are given birth from the union of an Angel and a Dragon. Due to the incompatibilities of mating between Angels and Dragons, the Draconic partner must be an Adult or Ancient Dragon, capable of transforming itself at will into a more compatible, humanoid form. As a result, Draconic Angels can almost exclusively only be birthed by Metallic Dragons. Due to the rarity of their parents and the usual separation of Angels from the Material Plane, Draconic Angels are extremely rare. Only a handful of them have ever been recorded in a single world’s history - although it is not unthinkable that there may be more Draconic Angels who have kept their identities hidden and not exposed themselves to the world. Those who have are usually required to as they are in positions of power or protected by a powerful ally who accepts their form.

Society[edit]

With the number of Draconic Angels being as small as it is, they have no true society of their own to speak of. Most Draconic Angels spend the first 100 years of their lives with their Draconic parent as they mature, learning how to hunt, survive independently, and being protected until they are capable of fending for themselves. It is, to date, unheard of for the Draconic parent to abandon their child before they have fully grown - a result of both the rarity of an Ancient Dragon producing offspring, as well as the experience of raising a humanoid child being an excellent method to stave off the ennui that many Ancient Dragons experience. They will age around the same as thier draconic parent, at times living to be over 5,000 years old.

After fully maturing after 100 years, the Draconic Angel may leave its parents nest, adventuring out into the world of humans, elves, and other creatures to more deeply understand their society, and possibly integrate into it. Others may choose to remain with their parent, a choice that is only possible due to not possessing the same undying greed that True Dragons do for treasure and wealth. As Draconic Angels require a minuscule amount of food in comparison to a True Dragon and do not necessarily crave their wealth and riches, many parents have no issue with allowing their offspring to continue to live with, or near them. Even if the Draconic Angel is to depart to the human world, and begin to live in it and develop new skills and relationships, they still retain a strong familial bond with their Draconic parent and care deeply for each other. Sadly thier connection with their angelic parent is lost, as most angels would be shunned for such things.

Draconic Angel Names[edit]

Draconic Angels use Draconic names, given by their parent.

Male: Aeoron, Arauth (Trickster), Aryx (Graceful), Deszeld (Fierce), Gaul (Loyal), Morn (Divine), Ragoth (Sky), Thriin (Archer), Uryte (Keeper), Vaeros, Zorralth, X'orentok

Female: Tharur (Trickster), Aryxon (Graceful), Deszeld (Fierce), Gaulir (Loyal), Mornaug (Divine), Ragoth (Sky), Thriina (Archer), Uryte (Keeper), Waer (Hidden), Arrexia, Daelorian, Cil'raeia

Draconic Angels that incorporate themselves into humanoid society may adopt names from the society they integrate into, either to blend in more easily or to bring themselves closer to it.

Draconic Angel Traits[edit]

A crossbreed between an Angel and a Dragon, Draconic Angels inherit the best of both worlds.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2.
Age. You inherit your lifespan from your Draconic parent. Although you reach physical maturity at around the age of 30, you do not reach adulthood until around the age of 100. You have a lifespan similar to that of True Dragons, at times reaching over 5,000 years old.
Alignment. Draconic Angels are generally of the good alignment, due to their Angelic blood. Your specific alignment may depend on your Draconic parent, or you may reject your upbringing and follow a different alignment entirely.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet. You also have a base flying speed of 30 feet, this increases to 40 at level 10 and 50 at level 16. You can use your wing at higher levels to get a boost forward.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Body Upkeep. Draconic angels inherit the traits from their angelic parents, because of this you don't need to eat, sleep or drink. Instead of sleeping you make a player for 4 hours and are given the benefits of a long rest. If you wish to eat or sleep, you can do so, but your draconic lineage awakens, causing you to eat and sleep twice as much as a human.

This speed reduces to 20 feet when wearing medium armor, and you cannot fly while wearing heavy armor. Your wingspan is equal to your height. When your wings are extended you can hover up to 10 feet above the ground, and your movement changes to flight speed unless you lower back to the ground level.

Draconic Survival. Your Draconic parent has taught you how to survive independently in the wilderness. You have proficiency in the Survival skill.
Combat Bonus. When in combat you can choose to fly straight up in a burst of your wings as a bonus action. You will ascend 25 ft and have advantage on attack rolls on enemies within 10ft.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants. If the Angel stayed with you, they will teach them to speak, read, and write Celestial as well, it is described as beautiful, yet alien in nature. And can be used to sing songs other races cant sing themselves.
