Then you come from a culture that reveres dragons.  I'd probably also consider something about having a dragon patron, although the dragon may not have shown up for a century because dragons sometimes take really long naps in my world.Mechanical benefits?  Some individuals from that group are considered Dragon Blessed, and from a young age undergo supernatural rituals to gain all the benefits of a dragonborn.  Perhaps they gain some some minor features or just use cosmetics but they are still identifiably as the same species as the rest of their group.That to me is compromise.  They aren't dragonborn because those don't exist.  They're human (or whatever species you want from my list) but have been chosen to be imbued with the best features of a dragon.  Of course they have to forego the normal benefits they normally would have received.  There would be more details of course and we'd have to discuss lore but that's all campaign specific.</blockquote>
