Common powers/attributes:

Physical- Any Draqiel is incredibly resistant to heat. Having been well adapted to the extreme temperatures of their home, they can live comfortably through some of the hottest climates. Their scales do not succumb to fire in any way; in fact, most flames seem to roll off a Draqiel like water off of a well-waxed shield. This makes them very hard to burn or be killed with fire magics (things such as lava or dragon fire being some obvious exceptions). They have two sets of eyelids; the inner set is thin and performs the ordinary duties of keeping the eyes watered. The outer set is thick, scaled, and protects their eyes from heat. For living in and around volcanic activity for all their lives, Draqiel are highly resistant to airborne toxins, particularly elements of sulfur and ash.

In terms of strength, a Draqiel's arm isn't any stronger than a human's. Their legs however are powerful enough to move them quickly and jump up to eight feet with relative ease. As they grow older however, their bodies change and their muscle begins to wane. While this happens, they gain new abilities in place of their physical prowess. Instead of brute strength they gain abilities more suited for defense, such as the power to change the pigment of their skin to blend in to their surroundings more easily, and minor empathic powers.

Magic- The Draqiel can only deal with one kind of magic, fire. They can channel their body's energy into a jewel that's been sealed to the back of their tongue. The jewel is the equivalent as a rune (or a small fire orb, such as the ones found on magic staffs), that allows them to build up magical energy in their mouths, and then release it by spitting a rapidly expanding fiery burst (the size and power of the burst depends on how long the Draqiel builds the energy, measured the same as fire strikes, bolts, blasts, waves, etc…). So Draqiel have developed a reputation of being fire breathers. Of Marrow, Of Near, Of Draculea,

Mind- There is no protection from mind control or telepathy that a Draqiel has apart from any regular land walker. There are mysterious powers however, that lead many to believe that the Draqiel are a psychic race. As one ages, these traits become increasingly common. There's never been the possibility of mind control, or even direct mind reading from a Draqiel, but some develop the ability to plant primitive suggestions of emotions such as: aggression, fear, comfort, or even love and passion. These powers grow stronger as a Draqiel ages, and their bodies move from physical to mental power. Their power to manipulate emotions and feelings can get to extremes if given the right circumstance, age, and training of the individual Draqiel . Because of this, older Draqiel are still able to survive along with the younger, stronger generation.

Common Weaknesses:
Body-The Draqiel are cold blooded. While they had no real sunlight due to the thick clouds of ash and sand, Baulicas was still a very hot world, and they actually found it hard to stay cool. This adaptation to hot climates is also a weakness to cold ones, forcing them to avoid cold weather of any kind. They also have a hard time seeing in the daylight, making them primarily nocturnal. Baulicas was dark, so the light of any star is a painfully foreign sensation. While they can sustain their youthful *trength for hundreds of years, as they reach their elder years (around 300) their physical power drains at a remarkable rate. This turns them from capable warriors, to a being weaker than most anyone, having to rely on whatever new abilities they could learn before they become prey to younger Draqiel. When they first came to ***lenor, the Draqiel found the air almost non-breathable, being so used to their own contaminated atmosphere, they find this new, clean environment, difficult to take in. Now, after being on this new world for years, they may still show signs of a negative reaction to the air (like asthma). Of Marrow, Of Near, Of Draculea,

Mind-The typical Draqiel can live up to 500 years, but with all that time they cannot learn to ultimately control their primal nature. They are driven to feed on those weaker than them. They are predators in their nature and there's no escaping it. They also cannot resist the entrance of telepaths; their minds are as penetrable as any beast. Only the older Draqiel have the ability to fight off a psychic intrusion. They may speak clearly and think sentient, but they are like animals, and they must always answer to instinct.


Where does your race come from?: They hail from a distant world named Baulicas. It's a dessert planet that's trapped in the midst of a cluster of small stars. This means that day is hot, and ever-present. Any kind of plant life besides underground fungus is completely foreign on this world. Despite the constant supply of sunlight, the ash and clouds that never part keep the landscape dark, and the air almost non-breathable. The planet was once very volcanic, so peeking out of the oceans of black sand are deep chasms that nearly dip into the center the world. Those tunnels provide shelter for Baulicas' inhabitants during the harsh storms or during the great freeze. During the freeze, the planet moves through a thick nebula every few hundred years and cuts off the normally constant supply of starlight .A black hibernation where all living beings are hidden below the frozen surface and close to the planet's core. This night would last for only a few years, then a day a hundred times as long follows. The only water on Baulicas is trapped in miles of underground veins buried inside the volcanic rock, and so the inhabitants had to learn to live with little supply. From a distance, Baulicas seems to be a blackened chunk of space dust. In reality it is teeming with life. The Draqiel are currently the most intelligent life forms, and scrape out civilizations in the protruding cliff sides and spires of stone. Of Marrow, Of Near, Of Draculea,

Reaction to Kin: A Draqiel is a lonely creature, and is generally thrilled to be with another of his kind. However, their race is dominative, and predatory, and with that familiarity they also have a severe distrust of each other. Despite that, they seem to ignore their instincts and stay in groups with their own.

Reaction to Other Races: Every Draqiel varies, but most see themselves set apart from every other kind of living being. Much the same as a human sees himself apart from the animal kingdom. They are not savage or hostile, but they are dangerous opportunists. In their eyes everyone is a potential meal, even other Draqiel.

Short History: Baulicas may be their home, but it's a hell in the heavens. There was a race that ruled the planet before the Draqiel, but they vanished when the planet turned to its current barren state. They left behind relics however, ancient machines that are killing off the Draqiel after relentlessly targeting, and hunting them through the caverns and deserts. Oddly enough, transporters made by the creators of the very machines exterminating them; offer safety. Small vessels with the capacity for dozens of passengers travel the globe picking up any Draqiel who cross their paths. Once they have enough passengers, these vessels blink off of Baulicas and fly through millions of light-years of space in just a few years, coursed for ***lenor. The reason for this is unknown. Seemingly by fate, the Draqiel (what little of them ventured into the ships' capture) are made refugees from an enemy they couldn't fight or understand. The only thing they can be sure of, they have no want to return to Baulicas. Of Marrow, Of Near, Of Draculea,

Wil - Race Bio Accepted, Welcome to Otherworld! :3




"War drums scream behind her movements, a haggard expression of destruction etched in every line in her face and every curve of her aching body. She is not a seeker of death, but rather a bringer, an advocate - a watcher. Time slows when voice flows from her sultry lips if only because her temperament lacks effective patience in receiving. A gypsy among thieves, a smile among frowns, fangs amongst teeth. There is no guilt in her eyes, no remorse, no feelings of extreme dismay over loss or misfortune." - The Evil Minded Veir.
