Vosa - Looks good, feel free to post it in the
Rogue's Gallery
Also, I'd prefer it if people's characters weren't in the 'code' brackets, it makes it harder for me to read them.

WD - The good news is that a goliath would indeed retain its monstrous humanoid type/traits (I did a little research), the bad news is
This race appears to be being used soley for it's powerful special abilities, not because you really want to play a goliath (hence the dragonborn rebirth). I'm gonna say no to Goliath, as it seems like a powerful race and that's the main reason I was dissallowing things with LA.
Yes, I want to play a dragonlike character with a breathweapon and darkvision...
That you loose DV when you become dragonlike sucks a bit. I think I need a whole new character concept...
What about changing from dragon to devil?

Human or Hellbred race (Fiendish Codex 2) sorcerer with infernal heritage feats from PH2 aiming for Malconvocer (Complete Scoundrel p 48)

WD - Sorry if this sounds bad, but it seems like you're grasping at straws attempting to come up with a character concept. If you had a detailed, worked-out concept involving any of these, I'd be willing to allow a 'different' race (Non-humanoid and/or level adjustment), but I really did want to try and keep it as 'basic' as possible.
The exceptions were supposed to be for if someone was like "I've got this character I've been wanting to play for 4 months using *Insert race/class/whatever here*, here's the fully sketched out concept and what I'm hoping to achieve.", not for just shooting ideas around.

Hmm.. I've been thinking about it, and I tell you what - I'm not too fond of the Goliath, but if what you're wanting is a Dragon-styled character, I'ld be willing to work something out. Tell me what you want and I'll make some suggestions, perhaps we can come to an agreement.

Hm, but hellbred is a humanoid race without LA. And I gave human as an alternative. The two things I really wanted to play are dragonborn (race) and a Malconvocer (comp scoundrel) (pretige class). But not both at once.

The sorcerer Malconvocer to be (if human) would only use 2-3 feats from the PH 2 in addition to your listed books.
Feats:
Human: SF (conjuration)
1: Infernal Sorcerer Heritage
3: Infernal Sorcerer Howl
6: Augment Summoning
9: Infernal Sorcerer Eyes
Alignment (ng)

What I really wanted to play (Dragon-themed):
A dragonlike character with a breath weapon and drgonlike senses (the first things I think when I hear 'dragon' are breath weapon, flight and keen senses.

Possibilities to achieve this:
Dragonlike race: Dragonborn (not many options)
Breath weapon: Dragonborn (Heart), Dragonshaman (I don't want to play a dragonfire adept this time), Sorcerer 'breath' feat
Darkvision: Dragonborn (Mind), Draconic senses feat, Prestige classes,
Monstrous humanoid base race for dragonborn.

Idea: (Wildelf) Dragonborn (con +2, int -2, favored class: sorcerer)
Sorcerer.
Racial Subs from races of the dragon p 107

Feats:
Bonus (instead familiar): Draconic Heritage (Dragon Magic p 17)
1: Draconic Senses (Dragon Magic p 17)
3: Copper Dragon Lineage (Dragon Magic p 16)

I could describe my mage armor as 'force' scales :)

A wildelf sorcerer that finds in the wake of the catastrophe his faith in bahamut. Abandoning his destroyed forest home, he wanders the land in search of other survivors.

(Slightly crazy, thinks the comet as some kind of test of Bahamut to test the mortals)

There I have it, (Mage Armor) Scales, Breath weapon, draconic senses and a draconic appeareance.

Would be play more the arcane than the physical might of the dragons, but I'm okay with it.

What do you mean with ages? How old my character is? Or I am?

By ages, I meant character ages. (Though it would be amusing to have a thread up and find out how old everyone I game with on here is, that's another topic)

[sblock=WalkingDad] If you're wanting the physical side of the dragons, How about a human Half-dragon with a single character level in any base class? The half-dragon would give you everything you want in a 'draconic' character and is one of the few templates/LA races I don't have a problem with.
Though, the dragonborn sorceror options you posted look OK, too.[/sblock]
