Descendents — as a result of the continued war between dragon and oni, various groups have emerged from the warring two. Their origins vary drastically, leading to a spectrum of distrust and alliances with either dragon or oni
Dragonian — a tribe of dragons born without attunement with the elements. They are comparatively smaller than their greater counterparts, being bipedal in nature but retaining core draconic features: wings, tails, and red scales; their scale patterns are modelled after Firstbourne. They live close to dragon settlements, and share the dragons’ distaste for other varying species.
*Dranhoni — (from the old draconic words “dran” for dragon, “honi” for oni) creatures descended from both dragons and oni. Unlike their dragon ancestors, they lack wings but have small vestigial stumps on their back; they have mastered the ability to fly by using their attuned essences and their limbs; if either of these are compromised, they won’t be able to fly. Like their oni ancestors, they have the limited ability to shapeshift between forms; they can shift between draconic forms (non-winged longs with vestigial stumps in place of wings) and quasi-human forms that retain some draconic/oni characteristics (tails, horns, vestigial wings). They serve no one, and have been hunted to extinction.
*Humans — creatures who were born from the blood spilled between oni and dragons; war is all they have ever known. They are born without attunement with the elements. After stumbling upon dragon bone, the humans became Hunters, killing dragons and dranhoni and preparing for war with the oni…whenever that may be.
btw i have to thank ffxiv for "dranhoni" i can't fucking believe this
