Dragonkin
Dragons are largely considered the Apex within the multiverse, they alone were trusted by the creator god Onith to guard the Nexus', this responsibility and their affinity for magic made them revered by religions and cultures throughout history. This reverence turned to devotion and love for their kind and inevitably cross breeding occurred between mortals and dragons, creating the first dragonborn. These first dragonborn are legend to have been massive 10-foot-tall mountains of draconic blood, with large, scaled wings and breath attacks that put pride into the hearts of their draconic parents. But as time wore on these True Dragonborn proved their mortality and faded with the washing eons, today there are only one or two third generational True Dragonborn, they live in seclusion within the older places of the world, their wings small and stunted and their breath weapons only half the strength of their forbears. Today Dragonborn stand 6-7 feet at the head, they are wingless with breath weapons much smaller than their True Dragonborn ancestors and mere child's play compared to true Dragons. - Thornwood
It is said that the first of the Dragonkin were birthed from the dreams of dragons in the days when men nor elf had yet trodden upon the world
Basic Information
Anatomy
Dragonborn are a bipedal, tailed race of humanoids, they appear like dragons walking upon two hind legs balanced by a thick tail. Dragonborn have thick scaly hides of varying colors and hues, their hand and feet are strong talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb upon each limb. Their skeletal structure is nearly identical to their dragon ancestors, standing between six and seven feet in height and weighing well over two hundred and fifty pounds.
Biological Traits
As with dragons there are two types of Dragonborn, the Metallic Dragonborn are derived from the Gold, Silver, Bronze, Brass, Copper, and Platinum dragons. These dragonborn tend to the good alignments and appear like smaller bipedal versions of the dragons who bore them. Chromatic Dragonborn are born from the Red, Green, Blue, Black, and White Dragons, and tend toward the evil alignments. Each of these types of dragonborn can interbreed with one another, but the result will only ever be a dragonborn born of one or the other color, and never a blend of both.
Genetics and Reproduction
Dragonborn breed the same as humans would, only dragonborn young hatch from eggs and are born in roughly 6-7 months after conception.

Wyrmlings grow much faster than humans, they are walking after only a few hours and reach the size of a 10-year old human by age three and achieve adulthood by age 20.
Ecology and Habitats
Dragonborn tend toward warmer climates though this varies upon they type of dragonborn and of what dragon they are descended from.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Dragonborn are largely carnivorous, though some have been seen to stomach such things as pastries and even some greens if the situation called for it. depending on the region in which they hail a Dragonborn' s diet would consist of fish, small mammals, or even larger game.
Biological Cycle
They become slightly more sluggish and more absent minded when in colder climates, though this aspect is ignored by white dragonborn as their White Dragon blood makes them prefer the colder conditions of the world, and tends to heighten their senses and mental capacity.
