The Dragoons have been abroad in the world since the great Dragon war millennia ago, (3,550 B.S. before sundering.)  Legends say the Dragoons were once Humans who sacrificed their mortal lives for the power to fight the evil Ryu-Jin, Alanis granted those who she deemed worthy to receive such a blessing great power, gaining the ability to stand against the strength and might of a Dragon.

    When someone chooses to become a Dragoon they give up all connection with their old life and undergo a purification ceremony at a church of Alanis, which cleanses their bodies and minds, they have no memory of their past.  Then they are put through intensive training for a period of 1 year, learning everything there is to know about Dragons: living habits, likely nesting sites, strengths and weaknesses, easiest and fastest ways to kill them.  After they learn as much as they need to know they choose a certain type of Dragon as their principle enemy, though they hunt down Dragons where ever they find them they put off all  things for a chance to fight their principle enemy.
Then finally they are sent out into the world on a quest to prove their worthiness with nothing but a single weapon and a loincloth.
Usually the quest involves finding the lair of their principle enemy and stealing an egg, or defeating a young Dragon and taking a trophy (Head, wings, scales, teeth or claws.)  If successful they return to the church and are deemed full fledged Dragoons and the trophy is turned into something useful (Like a weapon or armor, depending on what he took.)
He then is given the blessing of Alanis and receives his new powers and is either tied to a small clique of hunters or sent out into the world alone.
However if one fails the test he is immediately put to death, and his soul is given to the breast Alanis.
 

Nickname: Wyrm Slayers, Mock Dragons.

Character Creation: Dragoons go with physical stats mostly.  A Dragoon is a considered a holy warrior of Alanis, almost a special kind of Paladin, Church Knights with a specific mission.
Some are fanatical, others less then faithful, all are immensely powerful.  A Dragoons favored weapon is a spear or lance.

Appearance: Dragoons are Humans who gave up their souls for the never ending hunt, they look like Humans but they have a strange icy glint in their eyes, all are well built and powerfully muscled.
It's easier to spot a Dragoon who has been through a few battles, Dragoons use Dragon body parts as armor, scales for plate mail, claws for gloves or spear heads, wings as capes (Some can be Magickally enhanced to function for true flight.) even baby Dragon heads for helmets, obviously a Dragoon fully girded in Dragon armor is a powerful Dragoon indeed.

Starting Stats: Dragoons get 5 in Willpower and 4 in Ability Points, no Anger points, they were once Human after all.  They get 15 freebie points while still Generating.

Life Span: The blessing of Alanis gives a Dragoon indefinite life, there are very few Dragoons in the world because of this, a Dragoons life does not end until all Ryu-Jin are destroyed.

Weakness: When a Dragoon is created he is Magickally charmed to hate all Dragons, its uncontrollable and if he can't find a way to fight the beast then he might just do something Humans can't, he'll Berzerk, and attack everything in sight until he gets to the Dragon.
