Secretverse Giant (species)

Secretverse Giants (also shortly known as simply giants) are massive humanoids that appears mostly in the Secretverse. They mostly lives in the planet Granturn, but a few other giants also lives in other habitable planets.
==General Description==
Aside of their massive sizes, they are notable to be able to socialize better than average species does to being calmer and more peaceful, but also powerful warriors that can fight back against invaders and rogues. As such, their sheer prowess alone make them feared by some species, such as elves, dwarves and demons.
An average male adult giant measures to 75 ft tall, with the average female adult measures the same. Many tend to be heavily clothed. They also have much better endurance in physical, mental and emotional pain than average species, while also being able to have high resistance of temperature from -30°C to 50°C while normally clothed.
Although giant children are physically similar to human children aside of the size, adult giants are generally slightly more muscular than male adult humans, with male giants having slight emphasis on arms, abs and legs. Female adult giants, meanwhile, have a slight emphasis on the chest and hips. Even a malnourished giant would have notable muscles on their bodies.
===Distinct Features===
They have different patterns that tend to be colored differently from their skin. The patterns varies from giant to giant, be it the more simplistic circles or hearts, to more complex shapes. This is a sure-way to identify a giant that managed to shrunk into human size, as such many giants not wanting to give their species away for undercover activities tend to cover their patterns with clothes, and for patterns on their face, they simply dismiss them as paint marks.
Giants are also prone to have even more varied in terms of colored eyes and hair than non-fantasy humans, even giants that are adapted to non-fantasy environment. As such, these traits are another way to distinguish from a giant to a human in a world where magic is not a frequent matter.
Unlike humans, giants very rarely have beard or mustache regardless of gender, even during adulthood. There is one out of ten thousand giants that have either a beard or mustache, a sign that is said to have good luck. Only sideburns are a reoccuring exception, and only when becoming an elder.
The longevity of a giant is around 300 years, with average longevity being 195, and the adulthood of a giant reaches at 80 years, with the pre-adulthood at 40 years. To mesure human age with a giant for comparison, the calculation is the following; 71 (average human lifespan) / 195 = 0.3 (rounded down), so a giant that is 133 years old would be about 40 human years old, rounded up.
Reaching the age of 200 or more will have a giant to start growing sideburns, which is a sign of becoming an elder. Giants rarely gain wrinkles regardless of their diet, with the wrinkles only turning visible if a giant managed to live more than 300 years. Their hair also turn into the oppsosite spectrum of the color, which means red becomes green, yellow become purple, blue become orange, beige become indigo, brown become a light yellow, white become black, etc.
A few giants have notable malformation at birth does to their sheer size that makes it difficult for the DNA to be consistent; one may gain feathers instead of hair while another become even larger than average giant, which can reach up to a staggering 1000 foot tall to date.
The hair of a giant, particularly those of their head, tend to be very soft and comfortable to sit on. This is because their individual hair are a set of soft hair that can easily move but also slightly harder to climb on. The flesh and blood of a giant tend to be darker than an average species' own, and have a spicy taste to them.
The canines of a giant are slightly more pronounced than an average human's, if by a subtle length difference. That said, the teeth of a giant are also more sensible to sour product and thus then nerves of their teeth react negatively when eating a very sour food, leaving a temporary dental pain. Their tongue can taste a sour product just fine, so if a giant's teeth can resist sourness, they can eat even a large lemon without any ill effect.
==Common Behaviors==
The Secretverse giants tend to be peaceful and prefer to avoid conflict, minding their own business unless if they get threatened or if their habitat is at stake by rogues. They can also adapt in any location large enough for them to live in, thanks to their strength and resilience, but will quickly leave if they saw that the location they are currently live in had a pollution too severe or is too prone to violence or dangerous crimes.
Although many giants prefer to live in society or in civilizations, hunters tend to hunt alone as a group of giants will make themselves even easier to be detected does to their height and their combined weight from each steps. They only hunt together when they wanted to take on a creature that is as large or even larger.
While they prefer to avoid violence, they are not completely against it as while they will pull punches when it comes from minor conflicts, they will not above using it on dangerous criminals if the other methods would be inefficient or as retaliation against physical assaults.
At age 50 or higher, the giants are more prone to love and the romantic relationship can last longer than average species, which is helped by their usually calm behavior. That is to say, the first step of love can be hit-or-miss, as either lovers may abort if one of them realizes that they may not be able to maintain their romantic relationship for long, be it for personal reasons, financial issues or even if just one of them turns out to be either a big jerk or outright malevolent.
===Common Dislikes===
They tend find skimpy clothing shameful, even if it would fit with someone's job or position. The exception are bathing clothes, and even so only in beaches or public pools. A very few giants dares to wear skimpy clothing regardless, which makes them comes off as indecent or perverted by other giants.
Despite their peaceful nature, giants tend to be very unforgiving to severe misbehaviors or betrayals, and the perpetuators have to work hard to earn a giant’s trust again. They are particularly punishing against murder, believing that those who kills the innocents have no place in their lives.
Giants that are mean, argumentative, anger-prone or even evil have a tendency to pick on anyone, even a member of their own species, to vent their own frustration or to commit immoral actions. This can even escalate into a violent verbal or physical brawl if two giants keep arguing for hours, regardless of gender and sexual orientation on either side. Other giants may try to intervene before the brawl escalate further.
==Habitations==
While giants may be found anywhere, their most preferred environments are those with good soil that allows plentiful of plant growth, enough acres to allow habitations to be built, and that are enough peaceful. They also avoid environments that can be very harmful such as near volcanoes. Its common sense anyways.
Shall a giant or two be stranded, they tend to find a place large enough for them to get in, unless if they feels like it is like a cave with millions of spiders which then they hastily retreat and find a safer place. They can also take time to build a house on the spot, be it rocks, woods, or even harder materials.
==Common Abilities==
One of the most standout ability among the various Secretverse species are their massive strength; even when one giant get shrunken down to human size, they can still lift up to a thousand times their weight, but they only use their strength to help out others or when in danger. Like humans, giants can also adapt any type of weapons with ease, with the advantage to handle heavier weapons much easier than almost all other species.
A much fewer amount of giants can also shrink down their size into human size in order to adapt with humans. While giants living with humans or other species are not explicitly shown in Greater World, this is the first time this particular ability is displayed, most notably by Evister and Anastis. Even fewer giants like Morus Glirfum can also go even larger without being hindered, but them going larger is an even rarer sight.
The Secretverse giants are also specialist of potion making, even in environment where magic tend to be uncommon. This allows them to have foods to become large enough to feed them, including meat. Their potion only works on non-sapient objects and foods, thus no side-effects on sapient beings as of yet.
In addition to their incredible strength, they also have impressive resilience and movement speed, although they are only so when they retain their giant size; going into human size will cause their resilience to decrease and have their speed more relative to human-sized beings.
===Common Weaknesseses===
Their voice, even when shrunk to human-size, are fairly loud due to their powerful vocal cords, which while useful to alarm allies at long distance, can also make it difficult for them to whispers.
Their gigantic strength can also be their own weakness, as they can end up breaking things or even hurt other creatures if careless. A clumsy, careless or reckless giant can break even the most solidified bunker, or even walk through a skyscraper without even noticing.
While their thinking speed varies between individuals, they share nerves that have a slow reaction to pain or other harmful stimuli. This means they will not notice they get hurt until several seconds after the impact.
While they can substain their own weight, such weight can also be detrimental, as even thick floor of ice will break apart shall they even take a soft step on them. This also make them poor at sneaking and flanking, due to their loud thud regardless of their size.
==Notable Giants==
*Evister
*Anastis
*Demisa Devasta
*Morus Glirfum
==Trivia==
*Their intrinsic ability of potion-making comes from the fact that, logically, a civilization of giants might not survive for long does to the foods being potentially too small for them to feed unless the foods tend to be massive enough or if they live in a equally large environment.
