Dragonborn

Dragonborn are a race of sentient bipeds native to the planet Daerraphere who share ancestors with Dragons. By 500 AGE, Dragonborn (along with the other Daerrapherian races) had become an established spacefaring species, and around 2000 AGE, had begun their Era of Paragon.

History
Dragonborn were supposedly once mere Daerrapherian Dragons who underwent some sort of rapid change (possibly a curse) that transformed them into a smaller, humanoid form. Unlike their neighboring races, the Dragonborn stayed generally reclusive and uninterested in the affairs of others unless it directly involved them.

However, it was during the dawn of Daerraphere's Space Age that the Dragonborn made the decision to join forces with the other races, in what would ultimately become the Daerraphere Allied Space Command.

By 2115 AGE, Dragonborn had spread to countless corners of the Upsilon Psaella Galaxy.

Anatomy and Physiology
Resembling typical Daerraphere Dragons, Dragonborn are often mistaken for reptiles, though they have an internal body temperature that is significantly warmer than most mammals. Hatching from eggs as an infant, Dragonborn have closed circulatory systems that consist of one heart and and a network of blood vessels and red blood, due to their iron-based hemoglobin. Like most Daerrapherian races, they have two lungs that breath a mainly oxygen-nitrogen-based atmosphere.

Like Dragons, Dragonborn are covered in scales and have small, reptilian eyes. Their sense of hearing and smell is considered average, along with their sense of sight. They have an organ located in their throat-chest that allows the Dragonborn to emit a "breath weapon" at will, throwing a hazardous material or substance fro their mouth. Depending on what breed they come from, each Dragonborn's breath weapon is different. For instance, a Red Dragonborn's breath weapon is fire, while a Silver Dragonborn's would be frost.

Dragonborns' bone structure is extremely strong, protecting their internal organs from outside harm much more effectively than most races. In addition to this, Dragonborns' muscle mass is famously high, though much of it is used to support their heavy bodies. Strictly carnivorous, they have a decent metabolism, and less recovery time is required from physical exertion compared to other species. Currently, the average Dragonborn lifespan is around 90 to 100 years.

Population
Dragonborn have always been found in smaller numbers in comparison to races like the Humans and Dwarves, and remain to be known as more uncommon sight in the galaxy. Currently, there are around 5 billion Dragonborn in the galaxy.

Intelligence
Dragonborn have always been considered having average humanoid intelligence, despite magical ability being held in high regard in their society.
