A tall slender young lady enters the inn. Her long blonde hair stirs a bit in the breeze but most of it hangs straight as if her own self control prevents it from moving. As she steps into the candlelight, you notice the features you first thought to be elven are indeed of another race. You notice her tiny blunted nose lays nearly flat against her face, and her elongated jaw and wide, full lipped smile. When she blinks you think for a moment the pupils of her eyes elongate into dark vertical slits and her soft amber eyes turn a shade more akin to gold. She walks carefully with pride and poise but something about her gait seems unnatural or foced; as if she has rehearsed a thousand times each step. When she sits down it is as if her lower spine curves in one vertebra at a time. Her shoulders bend slightly and anyone looking closely might notice what appeared to be a large backpack over her cloak, is actually a bulge in her back with pack and cloak fitted over it to hide the abnormality. Carefully laying one hand on the table, you see the woman is wearing leather gloves cut off just below the fingertip. Her fingernails are long and appear to be painted gold although sharper and thicker then ordinary fingernails. They seem immaculately manicured, reflecting the light even more boldly then the coin scattered over the table. Upon closer scrutiny you notice a tiny golden halo all along the woman's hairline beneath a wisp of bangs obviously shorn to detract attention. The woman nods cordially but speaks as little as possible and mainly in whispers. She sits straight and tall and every move is controlled and perfect with the same appearance of one who has rehearsed the scene for years. She wears a heavy cloak over a beautiful silk gown of simple cut with a large holy symbol emblazoned on the front. On her wrists are two golden bracers mostly covered by the sleeves of her gown or her cloak. She wears simple gloves with fingertips cut off and a goldnecklace with small gold balls adorning it. She wears a ring under one of the gloves. Basically I am playing this half dragon as like she has some features of the usual Hollywood dragon but she looks human until you look really closely. If you saw her with a bit less clothing (which won't happen) she has tiny gold scales more like fish or snake scales down the back of her neck, down to her hip bone and from the top of both shoulders down to the back of her hand. The scales end in a V and taper into regular human flesh. Since she is a gold dragon I thought gold hair (blonde) and really light brown eyes that turn gold when her night vision kicks in and the whole cat-eyed thing. For her wings, she has a backpack sewn on the back of her cloak with a hole cut into the back of it to fold her wings into. She can only maintain that part of the day because she needs to stretch her wings, so she tends to be a bit reclusive. Even though she is lawful-good I think the general feelings about dragons among regular people is fear (right?) so she doesn't want people to think of her as a dragon, but as a human. |
