Draconic
ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!
You blaze with the power of dragons, elemental energy pulses in your veins, mighty sinews seethe beneath your skin, small scales and horns may even adorn your form.
Maybe one of your ancestors was a shapeshifting dragon. Are you proud of your ancestry? Or do you hide it? What relationship with your draconic ancestor do you have, if any? Do you posses any other draconic traits: a love of treasure? Arcane talent? Primal fury? Or just a bottomless appetite?
Mayhap your power comes from blood magic used to steal the power of the great wyrms. Where did you learn such rituals? Does your 'donor' seek vengeance? What drove you to such lengths?
Some Draconic characters gain their power through bargaining. They make magical compacts similar to those of the warlock. However Draconic patrons however tend to have more concrete concerns than archfey or devils, often preferring payment in treasure, or services rendered. What is the nature of your pact? Is your current mission a part of that deal? And how did you convince your patron not to eat you in the first two minutes?
Whether you came by this power through blood, theft, or magical contract is irrelevant, the power is yours to command, and lesser mortals would be wise to remember that.
