Skin to Scales: Lore and Sign-Ups
Thousands of years after the great decision to seal magic away, the earth is in a state of suffering known as present day. But the seal isn't perfect, and tiny bits of what once was has slipped through the cracks. Long before the seal, a great dragon bled out, leaving selfish humans to consume the bodily fluid as a form of alternative medicine. At first this had no effect on the people, but when powerful magic fell into their hands, the children of these greedy men and women began showing peculiar traits. Children sported peculiar, tattoo-like, colorful birthmarks, and at seemingly random moments, they became the lizards that stories had told them to fear! The peculiar shapes of these birthmarks seemed to affect what terrain these hidden beasts traversed and what of it's body slowed it behind. Colorful hues of these near-tattoos seemed to assure the elemental alignment and whatever other magic possessed by them. They were called the "Dragon-bled", and because of this power clutching to humanity itself, this breed of human was able to return. This did not effect everyone of course. Rather than that, it merely climbed up from the roots of the family tree and greeted the descendants of these ancient family lines. Unbeknownst to these new Dragon-bled, a hidden organization slowly chipped away at the powerful seal, via the powers of other peculiar hybrids and other phenomenon you may know. The seal is on the verge of it's shattering, all that's required are nine ancient belongings from creatures that used to walk the Earth. However, the people who made the seal knew that soon that people would come for the relics and as such imbued specific family lines with powers to activate in times of "danger" towards the relic. These people range from antique collectors to museum security guards drawn to these objects for reasons unknown to them. Matters get even trickier when the news that there are crazy conspiracy theorists called "Dragon Hunters" that have recently grown in numbers. Their goal is to slay a supposed dragon for purposes unknown to outsiders of this group.
Without magic and the powers alongside it, the Earth will surely perish.
Is it your skin that turns to scales?
~The Nine Relics~
The Elven Bow of the Forest
A hand-carved bow with a fistful of arrows. The slight glow to the wood suggests it may have some sort of enchantment.
Dwarven Worker's Pickaxe
A well worn pick made from an unknown metal, there's a gash in the handle with a small rock stuck in it.
Traditional Gnome Hat
A tiny hat made for celebration of some sort of holiday. It's missing a bit of thread.
Halfling's Mug
Fairly new mug, but it has a few stains of whatever was previously in it. Gross.
Orc's Battle Axe
A black iron axe with some patterns in the blade. Has a suspicious red stain near the top of the metal.
Unknown Amulet
An amulet with a peculiar blue jewel inscribed with Greek letters. The string is covered in handmade beads.
Siren's Hairpin
An elegant hairpin crafted out of a scallop and conch shell, some coral, and some pearls. Being near it makes a person feel dazed and like they should be elsewhere.
Hamadryad's Twig
A birch twig. It has a heart carved into it near the leaves from some long ago lovebirds. When it comes in contact with a living being it appears to make them calm.
Satyr's Pipes
For certain hand-carved, it looks like this particular set is crafted to play some higher notes.

~Birthmark Color Key~
Some loose guidelines/rules for the character forms:
If you choose a Winged Finned shape birthmark with a red color, your dragon reacts normally to high temperatures.
The usually/typically/mostly/commonly is just a guideline. Combine whatever you want!
Please be reasonable with the human form weapons. This is supposed to be modern day, not the apocalypse. Carrying around AK-47s and assault rifles isn't something you'd usually see.
Pictures or word descriptions are allowed for the appearances. Please keep in mind though that the image needs to be high enough quality for me to tell what I'm looking at.
If you aren't sure if your character is balanced or not, just ask. I made the RP so I obviously should have an idea of what's "too powerful".
Option has a symbol next to it? That means it's optional, or required with certain choices.
Breath is the stuff that a dragon spits out such as fire or ice.

~Birthmark shape key~
- Sky dragons (Winged Birthmark)
- Land dragons (Wingless birth mark)
- Sea dragons (Finned birth mark)
- Semi-Aquatic dragons (Finned-wingless birth mark)
- Aero-Aquatic dragons (Winged-Finned birth mark)
- Semi-Aero dragons(Small winged birth mark)
The winged dragon birth mark symbolizes the sky dragons, flying among the clouds. The majority of sky dragons have a breath of sorts, and have sharper claws and tougher scales than any other main category of dragon, but are disadvantaged by a powerful obsession with treasure, often putting their lives on the line for it, no matter how irrational it may be in a situation.
~Birthmark Color Key~
People who have a red colored birth mark, will have a dragon based around heat and fire. In dragon form, they will be able to manipulate fire, and survive in extremely hot temperatures. They typically have a fire based breath, and are mostly Sky and Land dragons. Sea dragons who have this color of birth mark have the nickname 'Magma swimmers'.
