Dragonborn

A hero of legend born of Dragonblood, you are destined to save the world! Except, you've been off the job haven't you? Doing other things instead of actually doing your job of you know? Slaying Dragons. You did somethings for about a year, but destiny catches up quick and it's about time you go and kill some dragons. Or you might just go back to bumming around the land, stealing sweetrolls and putting buckets on people's heads. The choice is yours.
