Become a hero transformed into a swarm of dragonets
Roleplaying as a swarm mind is an extremely unusual experience. You know the world through numerous bodies rather than the singular. You may find your various senses educational, growing your curiosity and wanderlust. Your instincts are that of dragons. You may take on their traits, beginning a hoard as the communal swarm. You may believe that each of your selves are individuals, or that you're one across innumerable tiny bodies. Your roleplay should likely represent an uncertain, warped, and disjointed mind.
The Crown of Dragon Flight, an item of legend said to give power over flights of dragons. Many have found their doom in the farthest reaches of the world seeking it. The Crown's remained a long forgotten fairy tale, little more than a story told around camp fires. That may be for the best. This artifact isn't what it seems…
Through the Crown of Dragon Flight, a profane ritual, or divine intervention, you find that you've been transmuted into a swarm of dragonets. Whether intentional or not, you're now a draconic hive mind. Your very spirit was transfigured, still yourself but yet not the same. You might find strength in this, or you may seek to reverse the strange draconic curse.
Your original ancestry remains everpresent within you, remnants visible in each dragon and your mannerisms. The old you certainly lingers. How you'll handle your new form is certainly something to discover.
The Crown is the default access method. You can utilize an alternative method!

Dragons are independent creatures, including your various bodies. You expel a tiny sized dragonet minion into an adjacent space. It shares all of your statistics and the same HP pool. It has a reach of 0 feet. As it acts on your turn, you share usage limitations and cooldowns. When you issue commands to it you do so using a mental telepathic concentrate action. You and your Split Self are separate creatures for all effects excluding ones affecting your shared HP. You can use your senses and speak through this Split Self.
Concentrating on a Split Self is difficult. It can't use concentrate actions that cost more than a single action. If not commanded it'll perform basic actions on its own that align with your interests. If you fall below half of your maximum HP your Split Self falls unconscious.
