Profile
The Amati are elven-like humanoids possessing the blood of fae and ancient dragons with the curious ability to shift into draconic form. Most Amati possess scales of a single hue but are all naturally imbued with a single element. This can often manifest in characteristic features of that particular element taking root over their bodies, such as crystals in the case of those earth aligned, etc. Most Amati age relatively slowly, living on average around the range of 300 to 400 years. They reach sexual maturity and stop growing around the age of 18.
They are swift fliers with large wings and an overall lithe body frame in dragon form. Unlike pureblooded dragons, the scales of Amati are rather soft and pliable, leaving the species somewhat more vulnerable to standard weaponry and noticeably weaker than most pureblooded dragons of similar size.
In humanoid form, they are often recognizable by their curved horns, sharp claws, frequent development of forehead jewels, and feral-looking, reptilian eyes. Most Amati shun the modern dressing styles of other races, preferring flowy light garments, cloaks, or heavy armors, especially ones that hide their features from those that would wish them harm.
All Amati are capable of dragonbreath attacks due to their bloodlines. They are capable of breathing their element even in humanoid form, making them fearsome in a fight and granting most members of the species an inherent understanding of a single element of magic.
Once home to the Amati tribal empire of Nuro, this species has often found themselves caught in the crossfires of the wars of humanity and has such lost much of their former civilization. Many more have been hunted or enslaved by other races and in the present day and the Amati are largely dispersed throughout the world, making their appearances somewhat of an overall, uncommon sighting.
Most Amati seem distrustful of other races and tend to keep their distance from outsiders who may wish to pass through their few known cities, but they are known to be non-aggressive and peaceful to most.
