So as some of the DM's know (Espeially Hawk), my little sorceress has the background of Mad Father wanting to turn his only daughter into a Half dragon. Would it be to bold of me to say that my sorceress has blood of a Blue Dragon in her thanks to dear mother if I fully commit to the path of RDD?
((Edit))
If the idea is shot down, then I'll see about making her an Arcane Archer.

Unless something has changed, and it could have I was away for awhile, blue is not a valid bloodline choice. Last I knew your bloodline needed to be of a fire breathing variety.

You could always mix some red in with your blue heritage and say you're a purple dragon   |

Quote is from this page Would need to be a fire type dragon, Red/Gold/Brass being the more likely ones to acquire, the other ones probably are less likely to be approved without a very good application & demonstrated roleplay (They are rare, I've seen like 2 of them in all my time here). If you're really set on the class, I'm sure you could work it into your roleplay, perhaps she was mistaken on the colour of the wyrm from generations back in her family tree, perhaps she had another ancestor with a fire breathing dragon further back and for some reason the traits of that one are stronger in her.
It's probably also worth noting it's a decision a character has to make and pursue, to activate/awaken their bloodline with their innate magic (the sorcerer/bard & 8 lore requirements are there for a reason), rather then something that just awakens on it's own (I'm aware this wasn't really part of your question, but I've seen people confused on it enough I figured I'd note it down if I'm posting about Dragon Disciples anyway).
One of those other things people often seem confused on, is that a character has to be a standard version of a player race at creation, the bloodline is pretty watered down so to speak, generations back, no special traits from it until they begin down the path towards their draconic apotheosis to assume the half-dragon template (sorcererous magic could come from any number of possible heritages from many generations back). Dragon Disciples aren't half-dragons, they are disciples that have through the use of their magic slowly adopted more draconic traits from their blood-line to reach the point they achieve the half-dragon template (though a character might believe otherwise IC!).
If you decide you're set on Blue Dragon heritage and aren't concerned with dropping the Dragon Disciple class, you should still be able to claim (claim, it might be true, it might be a bold lie, she might believe it and be wrong), that she has a blue dragon as an ancestor. It's completely upto you on what you choose to multi-class with, there's also nothing wrong with sticking as a mostly sorcerer who focus' in lightning spells believing she draws her power from a blue dragon. I hope this helps and regardless of what you choose to do, I hope you enjoy the roleplay Raven.

I'm really glad you mentioned this because I've seen confusion here, a lot. What your character believes and/or claims IC and what is true OOC or mechanically don't have to be the same. Maybe they actually believe it, or maybe it's a lie. Lavina is like this. She has no idea where her magic originates from and makes various claims that she thinks may be true. |

Hmm, I do see where everyone is coming from and having read all this and looking back on my character creation/ background, it is fairly possible that with my characters love of blue could have mislead her into 'thinking' there might be blue dragons blood in her. And based on her color scheme there's actually another avenue I could go with for her if I truly do decide to go with RDD for her. Though it's not a predominant color in her design, my sorceress does have gold fleck in her eyes and her Blue clothing does pair well with its gold accents. If blue is out, gold might be her real blood heritage. Again, just a thought here |

very creative raven!
i wish more of this kind of out of the box thinking was allowed.
have you considered instead of applying for the shifter class? blue dragon shape is available.

Sorceress you say?
Well, that's already a good step to giving it all to a Blue Dragon style character..
Here is somethings to think about when it comes to RP.
1. All spells Lightning based..
2. Lightning based gear
3. Fighting style : Blue dragons rarely land during combat, preferring flight and far-reaching attacks to lumbering over land in close melee. Because they like to fight from a distance, blue dragons consider combat a long-term engagement.
4. Personality style or quirks: Blue dragons, also known as storm dragons, are among the most vain and prideful of an arrogant race.
5. Suggestion: Don't worry about trying to be the -everything- in a party (giving up your blue dragon for the sake of mechanics) be the lightning firing, blasting, resisting type and go with it if your character is at a disadvantage. :3 . Your character could be so arrogant that they think their utter storm power can overcome -anything-.
I have a certain character that has -no- evocation spells. Puts her at disadvantage but super fun to RP as she has to struggle with Undead and help her friends with power ups. Your character could be the same and feel that you must use your 'buffs' lord over your party members and help them out because they -need- you.
Lotsa option! Hope you have fun!
PS: Made a half-dragon on NWN2 long time ago that was Blue Dragon.. suuuuper fun to play :3

EDM Ruin, I don't think I've got the hand for making Vain characters. I tried it one and I got sass instead lol.
Plus my Sorceress is to...Not Vain, mean she can be vain in a sense of "I'm an strong independant Moon Elf, who don't need no man" who's got a "destroy this annoying thing" complex...but she wouldn't 'lord' her skills over party members. She's more sit in the back with her bow and ask "When can I do the thing? Can I do the thing now? Are people in the way? If so, hope for the best and 'try' to not barbacue the shield then?"

As I said, you don't have to make a lightning spitting image of a blue dragon.:3 But you can use those quirks Blue Dragons have to help mold your character. One doesn't have to be a Blue Dragon to have vanity, but that's a way for your character to link upon that distant bloodline. Also, 'Lording' doesn't have to be extreme as what I am saying.. I am suggesting these are quirks that your character could struggle with. I am sure you read up more on the Blue Dragons. You can definitely use that as a way to help your character work out some RP struggles. It's a good way to deepen your character.
I know you post a lot of fine Roleplay journals about your character's struggles, so I do not need to give you any suggestions on that :3.
