Draken
The Draken are a proud and aggressive race of draconic like people, who were created by Ubres, specifically designed to hunt down and eat Zaiojin gems. They were created during the time just before the great war between Ubres and Resca, who's numbers quickly grew to that of a huge continental army to combat the goddess and her people.
Like all of the sentient races of Cross, Draken are an anthropomorphic species. They normally will show characteristics of European dragons but actually come in all shapes and sizes, just as those fabled in the myths of Earth. In addition to their anthro they also have a human like form, though only those living in Metaverse City have shown the desire to perfect this form. On rare occasions, a Draken will become strong enough to take on a full fledged dragon from, but this has only been hinted at and only Zaiojin who have lived since the war have expressed that they have seen this happen, but it has not been witnessed in modern day. Some common characteristics are as follows:
Draken tend to live alone or in small colonies as they are quite aggressive and territorial, though those who have shown some signs of civilization have wandered into Metaverse City and are known to be quite friendly, with some violent tendencies if angered. Those who are able to leave behind their primitive instincts are also known to be able to live peacefully with Zaiojin, and it has been witnessed that they are quite compatible with the gem based lifeforms and are able to have successful offspring. In terms of the offspring, they tend to come from eggs, if breeding with another Draken and or egg laying species, but if the female has live birth, then the hybrid will be born as a normal "mammal".
Instinctively they are warriors, so many will wear armor on their body, but their normal garb has been seen to range from fantasy, to modern, to sci-fi as well, spanning all known fashions throughout Cross, while some are even known to run in the nude, but these are normally the more primitive Draken. They tend to decorate their living spaces depending on their tastes in clothing as well. All Draken are also known to have a hording instinct for fancy and flashing things, and some who still hunt down Zaiojin will keep the gems as part of their horde instead of eating them.
Finally, in addition to their warrior instincts, Draken have no access to magic like the rest of the races do. However, they do have specific elemental breath weapons that they can use. These include fire, lighting, ice, and poison.

Some common characteristics are as follows:
- Scales come in all colors and patterns
- Skin colors follow that of normal human standards
- Ears are slightly pointed in human form and their canines tend to be a bit longer than humans.
- Eyes come in precious metals and jewel colors and are known to shine in the dark with the illumination of the particular mineral
- Most are well built and lean on the taller and bigger side in terms of human physic. However some have been shown to be smaller, and are outcast as "runts"
- The few Draken who have taken on Dragon form have been known to be highly aggressive and seem to lose their mind in a blind rampage
