Dragon!Simon lore and shit
(Obviously some ppl have their own versions but hereβs my idea)
Facts about dragons
Dragons are an endangered species; theyβre considered dangerous, and are hunted for sport. Not much is actually known about dragons, as nobodyβ no magekindβs knowledgeβ has taken time to study dragons and get to know them
Dragons can easily pass as human, since every dragon has a human form and a dragon form. What kind of dragon (eastern/western, fire breathing, flightless, big or small, etc.), they are depends on region and family lineage
Given that dragons have two forms, there are two ways a dragon can be born. Human-born (born in human form by a dragon in human form) or dragon-born (hatched from an egg). A dragon will generally favor the form they were born in for the first several years of their life
Being a magical creature, dragons obviously have an innate magic. But most canβt do magic the way Mages can
Lifespan and maturation
Thereβs been no research on the lifespan of a dragon, so as far as Mages know, theyβre immortal, though they CAN be killed.
The dragon will age at an apparent human rate for its human form (an 18 year old dragon will look the same as an 18 year old human) but in their dragon form, itβs really evident how old they are in dragon terms. A 10 year old dragon is roughly the same as a 1 year old human in terms of maturity
This doesnβt mean that as a human theyβre childish or βunderageβ or anything. An 18 year old dragon is just as mentally developed as an 18 year old human, though they may have more rambunctious tendencies and be a little more impulsive, with little regards to instincts
A 10 year old dragon in dragon form is small. Like house cat sized. A dragon wonβt reach full size until theyβre roughly 200 years old (for some smaller species, this may happen earlier) How big they are all depends on what species
Behaviors
Dragons will have instinctive behaviors that follow them to human form.
Hoarding. Dragons have a natural instinct to collect things that mean something to them, but also just anything they can get their hands on. (They donβt do it in a mindless haze, though. Itβs more like trying to clean out a room but being unable to throw anything away because what if you need it later.)
Nesting. A dragon must have a den. Dragons that choose to live in the wild will often have a nice cave suited to their needs. Dragons integrated into society consider their house their den. Specifically their bedroom. This results in the next behaviorβ¦
Territorial. A dragon is VERY territorial. Only trusted people (partners, family, best friends) are welcome into a dragonβs home. And donβt even think about taking something
Protective. Dragons are loyal to a fault. Expect the wrath of a dragon if you brush with one of their kin (be it a friend or family)
NONE of these behaviors are done in a mindless haze. Like a dragon wonβt go on a stealing rampage because they need to have those things. Dragons very much pass as any ordinary person, and generally are pretty conscious about their behaviors. Itβs only a problem for some younger dragons who have a harder time controlling their instincts.
Abilities
Misleading title, this subsection is just about little things that happen
Like when dragons get angry in human form, if they arenβt careful they can get some dragon features, like a change in eyes, teeth, claws growing, stuff like that
While shifting forms is as easy as breathing, it takes YEARS for a dragon to master partial shifting and have it be stable. Partial shifting includes things like having wings all the time, or something similar.
Heightened senses, even in human form. Specifically sound and smell, but some species get a sight boost as well
Dragons have different body temperatures while in human form. Most dragons run warm, except ice dragons
Simon snow, dragon edition
So Simonβs situation is as follows:
The Salisburyβs are a family of dragons. Not many know that about them, as itβs dangerous to be a dragon in this day and age (given the whole βhunted for sportβ thing.) Lucy was born with a really condition hardly ever is seen in dragonkind. She was human-born and unable to shift to her dragon form. So the excess magic within her showed up in a way similar to that of Mages, but she isnβt considered a mage (though again, for safety, she says she is.) She attended Watford as a low-powered mage and met Davy.
Davy knew nothing about Lucy being a dragon. So when he tried to create the Greatest Mage, problems occurred. Dragon magic and Mage magic arenβt tremendously compatible. So Simon was born, and Davy tried to get a reading on his innate level of magic, but learned instead that he was a dragon. Due to the magical complications, Lucy and Simon were both weak, but Davy was enraged at Lucy for not telling him she was a dragon and so he killed her. But because Simon did in fact have magic, Davy spared Simonβs life, and he simply gave Simon to the foster system to wait until he was 11.
When Simon gives his magic up to the humdrum, he ends up altering his human form to have wings. He can still shift to and from his dragon form with ease, but his human form has wings, tail and on some days he has horns and scaley patches of skin. He can make all this go away, and look 100% human again, but it takes a great deal of mental and physical energy
I am definitely going to edit this as I think of things, but please I want people to write dragon!Simon fics. And send me some if you find good ones
