can you tell me some more about Dragonkins?
(Warning thereās gonna be a lot of info! Also imma condense your other ask into here! Bc the Source Dragonkin are involved in the background of the Average Dragonkin so yea)
A bit of basic info
-So dragonkin are a magical species, meaning they use magic to mimick the abilities of dragons!
-Dragonkin are created through 2 ways: the normal way (reproduction) and through corruption in the magic! (Basically if you learn their magic, you gain their mutations)
-Dragonkin have a proficiency in Elemental magic! Generally sticking to one, creating different factions that learn different elements.
āā the difference between Elemental power and Elemental magic: elemental power has a quicker response time and requires less energy and the energy replenishes faster, Elemental magic generally takes longer to cast and takes more energy! (Basically controling vs asking)
-Magically induced Dragonkin generally take after the dragon they learnt from (EG. Ampu takes after a departed dragon, even though they use wind E magic)
-Magic proficiency also extends to other areas, so healing and mental based magic is also learned.
-they can turn into dragons! Itās pretty cool :)
-also the Shintarans are descended from the original Dragonkin, leaving them with their wings, sharp nails and pale skin.
the source dragons, after creating the first dragons (and oni? Ig?) wanted to create a species to pioneer change and be a constant between realms, so they created the Dragonkin as basically the prototype humans. The first 7 were dubbed the āsourceā Dragonkin. They were the link between the source dragons and everything in the first realm, kinda like prophets or mediums?
The source Dragonkin I have created thus far are Melus-Water(or whatever the whatāre SD is), Blaze-Movement, Lilli- Life (also adopted sibling of the FSM), and Boreas- (whatever the Ice SD is)
the source Dragonkin tried to stay neutral in the Oni-Dragon war, often having to babysit the FSM. But that didnāt mean there wasnāt infighting. See each Source dragonkin had their own faction, each mirroring the quality they represented (Blaze wanted his people to keep moving, Lilli wanted to nurture life, ect). The problem was that they had a bit of a difference in opinion on what to do with the humans, (this isnāt helped with Boreas marrying and having children with one, but we move on) see Blaze sees them as weak, so his Allies back him, and Lilli thinks theyāre the future, so their allies back them! So basically itās a Cold War among the factions.
soon the Oni-Dragon war caused the destruction of some of the factions camps, causing them to be forced to work together and get along. This is around the time The FSM goes on to create the realms other than the first realm. After the realms are made the Dragonkin spread out between them.
currently I have a few Dragonkin OCās and I encourage people to make their own! Iād love to see them!
Here are the ones Iāve developed:
Ampu- departed MI Dragonkin, Learnt by mimicking an actual dragonās attacks. (Yea theirs is a weird one, where they didnāt actually mean to, but it happened anyways. Boreas swoops in and helps out tho-)
Silver/Arlo- an In-Progress āWaterā Dragonkin, being taught by Melus and is taking a strangely long amount of time coming into their mutations⦠(they have a big key to a part of the lore that involves Fate and how the magic works and stuff but itās still a WIP so I canāt really say much for now :3)
Boreas- The āIceā source Dragonkin, gentle but strict. Went with the FSM when he created Ninjago, and was another parental figure to Wu and Garmadon. Currently helping out Ampu
Melus- āWaterā Source Dragonkin, lives within the realm of mysterium, but travels to Ninjago regularly. Has their own students but has Arlo as her main one. Her and Blaze mirror Kai and Nya.
Porcelain- Boreasās daughter, Mains in Water magic with a side of earth. Boreas thought they were dead. What a surprise when the find each other!
I havenāt really thought much about Lilli and Blaze but yea that what I can think of at the moment!
THANKS FOR ASKING I NEEDED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM!!!!! Hope you like it :))))
