Dragonborn.

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the Dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, Dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids.

Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first Dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some Dragonborn clans. These Dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

Unable or unwilling to manifest Aura, the Dragonborn instead use their strength of arms and draconic heritage to fight against the Grimm, a fact they as a race are immensely proud of, to the point they will not let a single moment past where they don't rub said fact in both the Humans and Faunus' faces, who they dub cowards for relying on aura. This arrogance, along with their strict honor code and other cultural customs, makes it increasingly difficult for Dragonborn to establish positive relations with the other two races.         

But that is all about to change.
