Draconic Reproduction
The first dragons were born from man's fear of the unknown: a dragon would be born slumbering in the heart of a terrible storm whenever it tore apart a village, or would come crashing from the mountaintop when a volcano erupted. As science and magic have progressed, the unknown has been beaten back, and these forms of spontaneous generation have become rarer. As a result, dragons have found new ways to reproduce.
Some dragons practice Budding, where they grow multiple heads from the same shoulders. These heads are new consciousnesses just as brilliant as the original's, and upon being severed will become great winding serpents. Oftentimes, a dragon with more than five or so heads will begin actively seeking out foes to decapitate them, as the bickering and politicking between heads becomes too much to bear.
Dragonblood, when it falls to earth, mixes with the dirt and stone to form kobolds. A single splatter of blood might just make one or two, but a ferocious battle can sometimes give rise to a whole community of kobolds, who very quickly set about getting themselves into trouble. Kobolds don't tend to live longer than a few years, but in the rare case when one manages to molt a hundred or so times they'll become a whole new dragon.
Some dragons collect great glittering hoards of gold, which they use to transmit the Glimmering Curse. Dragonslayers and thieves alike find themselves tempted by such impossible riches, and will attempt to flee with whatever they can carry. The obsession grows roots in their soul, leading them to greater and greater acts of avarice, until eventually they cut the last ties holding them to humanity and instantly erupt with wing and claw and fang.
A rare few dragons still maintain the ancient art of Dreamsong, most closely related to the births of the primordial dragons. With Dreamsong, the dragon appears in a mortal's dreams in a strange and wonderful form, and spends many tender hours with them there. The mortal wakes up remembering little but a warm feeling, but weeks later will stumble upon an egg, half-buried in the earth, from which will hatch a beautiful child with golden slitted eyes.

On a side note, I wish people stopped tagging BG3 fanwork with #dnd, #dnd art , #dnd character or similar hashtags. If I want to look at BG3 stuff I will seek out the BG3 related tags!! I want to see your original DnD characters!

Hello and welcome to “my friend made a new mini campaign so I get to make and obsess over a new dnd character”
Introducing Saffron, who is such a girlfailure her patron, Gladius, has to take over her body to get anything done.
The campaign takes place in Paltry, the last settlement in the material realm, located at the bottom of “the tower of gods”. As a last effort to save everyone in the material realm, the city council sent out a reward to any parents willing to offer their child to the ascension program, a program dedicated to training heroes to ascend the tower, as its speculated whoever gets to the top will be granted a wish
These are all mostly sketches and concepts to figure out her character so they’re not top quality
