[WP] Many generations ago you had a dragon ancestor. This left you with some biological oddities, though after so many generations they are small, like very stubby horns. One day though, you get an especially big bonus at work and you feel like your horns are just a little more pronounced.

[WP]Everything is balanced through Karma. Karma means that whenever something bad happens to you, you suddenly remember what you did to deserve it. One day you are hit by a car and get a flashback to the 1500s.
