• Dragonkin are highly intelligent creatures descended from both dragons and humans.

• Dragonkin live to around 400 years old, the specifics depend on the subspecies.

• It is estimated that only a few hundred Dragonkin exist in the world, meaning that they are rare, but not unique deities.

• Dragonkin can easily take to the skies, either by proudly displaying their wings at all times, or by producing them when the need arises.

• Dragonkin are very reactive to their environment, and as their personality evolves as a young hatchling, they will choose an environment that suits them. They will then, over several years, adapt to that environment and evolve traits to match it, growing into a subspecies of Dragonkin.

• Dragonkin are often hunted for their scales, which are rare and valuable.

• Dragonkin do not obey standard gender roles, as females will often be stronger than males, and will do the role of a protector or provider, depending on need and personality.

• Dragonkin will exclusively mate for life. They are monogamous and will refuse to mate again upon the tragic loss of their partner.

• Dragonkin reproduce via large eggs, which they lay once about every 100 years, if mated. This large egg will grow inside them for about 6 months before it is laid, causing them to have an inflated womb, similar to a human pregnancy.

• Unlike other species, Female Dragonkin won't reproduce unless they choose to, even after copulation. Female Dragonkin will wait until certain conditions are met to produce an egg, such as shelter, safety and most important of all, a trusted lifetime mate.

• Dragonkin actively seek out other species to mate with to introduce genetic diversity, which allows them for further evolution traits.

• Once imprinted, Female Dragonkin regularly merge with their partners essence, via semen for male partners, or female ejaculation fluids for female partners. They absorb this essence internally or by swallowing. They will be opposed to their mate to wasting their seed, and will try to have it delivered inside of them or swallowing it as much as possible.

• Once imprinted, Female Dragonkin actively seek this practice regularly, and it is something they work towards, via copulation or masturbation. The longer they will go without copulation, the bigger the need, eventually even resorting to desperate begging in extreme cases.

• When absorbing their mate's essence, Female Dragonkin will feel their true feelings, which is intoxicating and addicting for a female Dragonkin.

• Once imprinted, female Dragonkin will struggle a lot with separation anxiety, and will actively seek to be near them as much as possible.
