Ahh, no. They are a special kind of dragon that I've been kicking around. Here's the background, sorry for confusion
Dragonlords rarely take mates from their own species, which has over the millenia led to some rather unique characteristics only held by these creatures. From wyrmling to young age categories, they mostly resemble Aasimars or related species. From Juvenile to Young adult, they mostly resemble half-dragons or half-celestials, depending on their parent’s choice at the child’s conception.
When they reach the full adult-stage, they transform (often in a single day) into a full blown Dragonlords. The change is often traumatic and they are dependant on their parents or other Dragonlords to shepherd them through the process. They are then given into the keeping of an older dragon (not always of their species) for training until they reach Mature adult stage and then are cut loose to find their own way into the world.
Though incredibly rare, Dragonlords have occasionally been spotted in many different climates and terrains. They seem to however prefer dwelling in elvish or human cities. Unlike silver dragons, Dragonlords prefer elven company to their own kind and often have elven consorts. Some even speculate that they were in fact descended from silver dragons. Others believe that they were a failed attempt to create evil versions of metallic dragons. No one knows for sure.
Combat
Though not inherently violent, Dragonlords will not avoid combat when presented with a truly evil foe or some perceived injustice. Dragonlords will use a combination of spells, psionics and their own natural ability to shape-shift at will to confuse and defeat their enemies. They will often be aided by other good-aligned dragons and non-dragons who share their point of view.
BREATH WEAPON (SU)
A Dragonlord has two types of breath weapons. A cone of fire and a glowing blue-green mist that does double damage against undead or evil creatures.
Basically, I was trying to find a way to describe a process in which a human or elf slowly changes into a full-blown dragon of this type. The aasimar to half-celestial/half-dragon to full hematite dragon sorta explains it. Not terribly well, but better than nothing. And once they reach the full-grown stage, they are considered dragons (native outsiders).
They don't nessisarily have the abilities of an aasimar or half-celestial when they do become fully grown. Sorta like your baby teeth. When you reach a certain stage, you start loosing them and gaining adult teeth. This is similar to that concept.
