  1. Race: Gria
  2. Where do they live: Gria are one of the youngest races in the world and appear to have evolved from a cross breed between humans and dragons at some point. Because of their Draconic heritage, the Gria have been ostracized by most of the races of the world. What few settlements they have are built high in the mountains of the world where few can reach them.

  4. Racial Looks: Unlike their Draconic ancestors who rely on pure strength and massive wingspans to propel their powerful bodies through the air, the Gria are built much more like modern raptors. Though similar to other humanoid races such as elves in appearance, they have very petite frames and are much lighter than what they appear, this comes from having lighter and more fragile bone structure in order to sustain flight. The race have very sleek, slim, and smaller bodies than most other humanoid races, although this is in all probability a genetic evolution for their need to have a lighter bone structure and smaller frame in order to sustain their flight. On their backs, rests a pair of small to medium sized draconic wings which the Gria use to suspend themselves in the air and fly. On their heads are pair of small horns, which differ in shape based on what type of dragon they are descended from and a small tail which is often the same color as the Gria's wings, likewise based on the color and type of dragon they are descended from. One last characteristic will easily differentiate this race from others, and that is the eyes of a Gria, which are usually lizard-like, exactly like their larger draconic counterparts.
  5. Some Gria are born with a stronger connection to their dragon ancestors, often resulting in more pronounced wings and horns, but also in the development of claws and thicker skin.

  7. Racial History and Relations with Other Races: The Gria are a race of beings created from a magical romance between an elf and a dragon long ago. They are now as diverse as the dragons they are descended from, only not split along chromatic and metallic lines. They have no creation myth, and because of their longevity, are very familiar with their creation. While they hold all gods to great esteem, it is the draconic god Apsu they tend to worship the most, if they choose to worship one at all. This race very seldom travels from it's mountain home as they have been ostracized from civilized society because of their close relations with the hated and feared dragons, which is the only race they are in good terms with, as Gria will often choose to work with or around Dragons, as they usually live quite close to the larger beasts. Despite their poor history with most other races, many young Gria will seek adventure for a time, or choose to explore the world, as the creatures are so often filled with wonderlust at points in time during their lives. Hopefully, as more Gria choose to adventure out into the world, the world will come to view the race in a better light.

  9. Class Tendoncies: Never underestimate a Gria because of their seemingly frail appearance. It is often the last mistake a soldier might make. Gria, like their draconic relatives, relish in the gory heat of battle. They are viscous fighters and dangerous combatants, choosing to take up arms much more quickly than they take up magics. Because of the general lack of an organized belief system though, clerics and paladins are unheard of in Gria society, and oracles are even more exceedingly rare than in human societies, although they are well respected when they come.
