# Gilles "Graham" Gigantes.

**Graham** is a large giant who came from a place named, The Timeless Isle. Where, though he was clueless before, he knows that it was the place to many magical entities coming from around the world and had mysteriously became long gone. Graham has yet to appear in any videos on the Retro World channel though. But that is hopefully set to change soon as many Retro World characters are set to appear in future episodes of the upcoming Until We Win's videos such as Jean and Winnie. So, Graham has yet a chance to make his appearance.

### Background

Graham's design is a bit simple, really. He's a large, hunky, and strong giant who carries around a small backpack that carries his adored daughter, Kali, who he saved from a large dragon that he defeated to save her. Ever since then, they have been father and daughter and had both looked out for each other dearly.

Before Kali though, Graham was just another kid who grew up on an island and lived with his dear parents who, unbeknownst to him, his parents were a mixture of a woman and a mighty mountain giant who Graham takes some of his strength from. Sadly, after their prime with Graham, they tragically passed away due to an omen that was also lost in time... But Graham still carries around a small heart key chain with his parents inside of it. Due to the deaths, Graham was sent far away from the island of the curse that had killed his parents. Graham had a dream to come back to the island and destroy the curse, and he waited to achieve his dream endlessly, day after day. Until the day he finally came back to the island, all he saw was decay. All except for one little egg that he found after he defeated the dragon that was on the island. He would take the egg and would raise it as his own, and when it had hatched, he would name the small baby dragon that came out of it, Kali, and would keep her as his own daughter and pet, thus making Graham never alone again and making a strong relationship.

Later on, Graham was transformed into a werebear, though he still has some giant left in him. He is now half-werebear and sports everything a werebear has: large fur, large teeth, and humongous claws. Graham is still half-giant and half-werebear to this day, and it seems it might stay that way.

### Known History

1. Graham before he met anyone was being used by the Professor to destroy Jim. Jim, Winnie and co. found he was being forced to do his bidding. They had quickly stopped this and freed him, to be rewarded with his loyalty. Though he may be distant to those like Jim, he secretly has a fondness for winnie.

2. Professor Monkey for a Head had lost his biggest means to stop Jim. As punishment for his betrayal, he devises a virtual reality program and dubbed it “POLYBIUS” off of the internet ghost stories. Graham was trapped inside for days, until Jim and Winnie once again saved him. They beat the machine, and got him out, and he has called them ‘family’ ever since. This along with the last venture, started the bonfire that was his love for his soon-to-be, Winnie, for he sees her as his hero.

3. After a crash into the sea, He lived thanks to a freak storm carrying him to an island he felt was familiar, but knew nothing about. “The Timeless Isle” was shown to be practically incapable of keeping life. Piles of bodies were in the masses, and even the animals and fauna were gone. He stepped into a cave that led to a hollowed out part of a volcano where he would find an egg. It was guarded by a terrible volcanic dragon ready to eat both him, and the egg. He had survived, slaying the beast with his quick wit, and saved the only other living thing on the island. It hatched, and he called the wyvern inside “Kali”.

4. During hero training, he had crashed on the world of the Neverhood, where he would meet Wheatley and even form a relationship which bloomed to love. Since then, he had worked on the farm and tended to everything to keep up with the chores. Winnie and Jean quickly showed up. Graham discovers that Wheatley was in a Poly relation with not just Jim, but Winnie as well. He already had feelings for Winnie, thanks to their shared ventures, and accepted the embrace of the triangle, making it a square.

5. Return to the Timeless Isle: Graham, under a terrible spell has left his home to visit the timeless Isle again. His family, worried for his safety, travel after him only to find the dead island and find out what happened to the people that lived here. They discover that the island was home to earth’s supposed ‘fairy tales’, with dragons and all manner of impossible things to co-exist with one another. He was put under a curse from the last time he was here, by a lich, being imprisoned on the island forever, unless all life that originated here was ended. They do battle with the being, find his vessel and destroy it, bringing life back to the land, but only slowly. When they leave, only a few seeds are planted, and in due time the island will one day come back from the brink of death. They find out along the way, that Graham’s Biological parents once lived here, and that he is part Giant on his father’s side. Graham is the last of his line, and has since become depressed that he found his origins, only to know he will be the end. In the future, this turns out to be false. Winnie, Wheatley, and more share their love for him, bringing a new era of Giant back from that same brink of death, not just for saving a potentially important line, but out of love.

### Personality

Graham is a heroic, wise, and brave giant who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty from time to time. He specializes in his strength and is something he later recovered from being trapped in the arcade game, *Polybius,* by the evil Professor Monkey-For-A-Head and Psy-Crow. Being saved by his soon-to-be allies Earthworm Jim, Winnie the Werebat and Michael after he was saved, though Graham had a pretty dry outlook on life. He had convinced himself that everyone hated and despised him coming out of the arcade machine beaten, stabbed by the glass, and nearly killed. He still kept that pessimistic view on life until Jim, Winnie, and Michael helped him recover, and ever since then Graham has kept his bond with the trio and have valued them incredibly. Promising that he will always protect them, and if he hadn't, he would put the blame on himself. Graham loved and adored his new family and always thanked them for giving him the one thing he needed in life, "love and a sense of purpose," making Graham a bit of a family man. With the help of his new life he recovered, he made some new friends and life continued. Until one day he was turned into a werebear. Now half-giant and half-werebear, Graham has become stronger, and the more stronger he is, the more he'll learn to use his strengths for good and kindness. Thanks to his fellow pals, Graham is now a bright and great hero who just needed a hug, and that's exactly what he got. Overall, Graham is a pretty nice dude. Especially to friends/family, he is kind, soft-speaking, and quick to apologize for outbursts or upsetting someone. Very physical person, often needing to be held, touched, Kissed or hugged by close family. Often needs to be told ‘I love you’ as if he would forget, or the end is coming. He can also be very excitable depending on the person, often needing his own grounded and relaxed personality to help him stay calm.

### Psychical appearance

#### Giant form

Graham sports a large black vest that buckles around him. The vest is his most significant feature on his design and sticks out among his other traits. The vest contains 2 icons on it showcasing his sexuality and a small heart on his side. He also sports some large adventurous boots that he wears practically everywhere! On adventures at his home and hell even on the couch. He'll always sport his large boots no matter what scenario he's in. And those are really the two biggest things on Graham's human design. His design is pretty simple, so yeah, a simple fit! But that's pretty different for his werebear form, though!

#### Werebear

Graham's werebear form is a bit of a unique one. It showcases a half-giant and half-werebear form of Graham that gives him strengths that he could never achieve in just his giant form. It gives him large claws that can cut down any tree in just a single swipe, as well as large fur that keeps Graham calm and helps him rest. The werebear form also gives Graham large teeth that is helpful for catching fish in the ocean and biting anything down including hard metal and wood. Graham also has an increase in his speed and can run and swim much faster than he could before, making hunting much better. Speaking of swimming, Graham can also hold his breath underwater for much longer. He is sort of a beast now and he can do just about anything a creature in nature can do and specializes in basically everything any critter can do. He has strong defense that you won't wanna mess with: enormous teeth that can chew through anything imaginable and has top notch speed that allows him to run as fast as an animal in the wild. and lets him swim more easier and faster. Graham has become a part of Mother Nature, really, and he wants it to remain that way. He now has a stronger form that will help him protect his family more, and that's something he hopes he never loses.

### Biography:

An absolute titan of a man who was once a lost lamb. He had nothing but a mysterious checkered past and an attitude to give him an identity among the thugs and villains he’s interacted with. Always used for his brute strength, it wasn’t until he was used by Psycrow and the Professor to destroy their enemy that he met Jim, Jean and Winnie, who would save him from the life he no longer wished to be in, and was given a chance.
not the end of his adventures. He now plans to go to space with his family, and find out all there is to know about the universe. Maybe, he will find out more about himself along the way!~ He hears there’s a wrestling ring in space, and he wants a piece of the action...
In a fight, Graham is incredibly slow moving. To make up for it, Kali being a winged creature can easily flap her wings to help him get a move on or make quick turns, even being able to carry them gliding on the ground or in the air. He needs her as much as she needs him, being able to provide for one another, whether it’s comfort or skills the other doesn’t have.

Graham upon learning of his Magical origins, has unlocked a hidden potential. Giants being more in tuned with nature has allowed him to tap into that same energy, Whether it’s casting a storm of rain and lightning, to causing a tornado, Graham plans to gain more experience and truly bring magic back to the universe. Of course, since just learning magic, he is still trying to control it.

When he’s not on a grand adventure or fighting, he’s always relaxing with his loved ones, often sleeping, eating a great deal of food, or playing a game nearby.

## Relationships

#### Kali

Saving Kali after fending off a strong dragon, Graham and Kali have been very close since. With Graham raising Kali himself after saving her, the two have loved each other and have looked out for one another for years. Though sadly, the two haven't really interacted much due to Kali going her separate ways after she realized she was getting old and wanted to start her own family. She left shortly after Graham transformed into a werebear and haven't visited much since. Making Graham quite mad, but still respecting her decision.

#### Winnie the Werebat

Winnie and Graham are very close friends. Ever since Winnie helped Graham escape from Polybius and helped him recover in a state where all he needed was love. Winnie was always there for him, and both look out for each other continuously. They've grown a large bond over time and even call each other family. These two have a friendship that was meant to last, and it'll stay that way as the two will always protect, care, and support each other, no matter what.

#### Michael

Graham and Mikey are close and rather not close at the same time. When Graham first met Mikey, it was pretty rough. Both of them didn't trust each other and would constantly argue. But luckily that later changed as when Graham was about to give his life to save Mikey, Earthworm Jim and Winnie, he didn't go without Graham. This showed Graham that Mikey truly cared for him and though they had a rough past they are basically brothers now.

#### Earthworm Jim

Graham and Jim are rather close with each other. They both have a lot in common such as a love for video games and for adventuring. Not to mention that when these two were paired together, they make a rather strong duo, and honestly a powerhouse. These two will look out for each other no matter what, as both of them are friends with Winnie, and in Jim's case more than friends. These two are pretty cool with each other overall and as Graham and Jim themselves would say.

"Anyone that is a friend of Winnie, is a friend of mine."

#### Wheatley

Wheatley and Graham are also pretty close and started talking around the same time Graham turned into a werebear. That's not to say he hasn't talked to him before, it's just that he spends more time with Wheatley in his bear form in the wild. But in the bear form, the two have a pretty heartwarming bond, with both taking care of each other and looking out for another. So much so that the two have slowly seemed to be gathering feelings for each other, with Graham seeming to flirt with Wheatley a few times. Overall, the two are close and have been friends for a while.

#### Iris the Purple Cat

Iris and Graham are close. Their bond started off on a bit of a toxic side, with Graham constantly being annoyed by the purple cat, but later down the road Graham began to have a soft spot for Iris and started looking out for him to. Graham realized Iris was only tagging along with him to make sure he was safe and because of that, Graham allowed Iris to be with him, making Iris very happy. Though as of late they haven't talked much. That is hopefully looking to change soon!
