Giant-Kin AKA Hu'Charad

History : They trace their ancestry back to humans. Like the Verrik they descended from some humans that were changed by the travel between worlds. Some were immediately changed but others saw the change in their children. They were larger and deeply in touch with their emotions. Most simply refer to them as Giant Kin.

Personality: In touch with their emotions in an integral way. The travel created a bipolar like schism in each of them, not just mentally but also spiritually and physically. Their two natures are the placid Caretaker (Si-Karan) and the rampaging Destroyer (Chi-Julud).

Physical Description: In Caretaker form they appear like large humans with square jaws and stocky body types. In the Destroyer form they grow in size and take on a slightly more monstrous/ Cro-Magnon appearance.

Examples of Giant-Kin appearances

Relations: They are a peaceful people and get along good with most, but piss them off and watch out. As a people they don't mind hard work, and as such acted as the main labor force of the empires. They respect other hard workers, including mental pursuits.

Alignment: Usually Lawful and/ or Neutral

Societal : At current they are looked upon with some awe, but generally accepted as normal members of the community.

Adventurers : Tend towards Physical or Contemplative classes. Barbarians are fairly uncommon despite their Destroyer nature and are kind of outsiders in Giant Kin society.

Notable Giant-Kin : Sierra-Michi, Lod Treetamer, Rhun the Nameless
