Giants
Giant Representing The Giant Race Of People.
Description
The Giants are nomadic like people who travel in small groups as they wander about. They stand between 8 and 24 meters tall. They are the largest Humanoid race which walks the worlds they hail from. They have begun to develop tools and technologies on the various worlds they hail from and are currently in the medieval to industrial eras. They live relatively good lives and receive great boons from the Astarian Empire as they receive many more opportunities given to them than what they have on their own worlds. This has led many of them to become great warriors and adventurers serving the Astarian Empire and their forces. Giants have both powerful attacks and resistances to all forms of damages and the environments they reside in. Their weapons and armor are made from ship TDA plating. Many who see the giants lumbering on the battlefield can’t believe they are not mechs and are normal people. They will follow military commands and form ranks before charging into battle invoking true fear from their enemies. Giants described as Giant People are a civilized group of people who make laws and tend to live as a democratic society.
Species And Faction
Species:
There are 4 major species of Giants that have been discovered and exist within The Astarian Empire.
Giants, Glassmen, Apemen, Reptagen
The Giant:
The Giants are a semi-nomadic people who travel in small groups as they wander about. They generally are the largest Humanoid race which walks the worlds they hail from and are constantly at war with everything due to humans hunting them. They have begun to develop tools and technologies but are constantly hiding away in caverns and cave networks living on the creatures inside. It is not uncommon to see masses of Giants gathered in dungeons or living in the depths of Dungeons. They are friendly traders and merchants in the Dungeons because there are only Adventurers and not a mass of humans.
The Glassmen:
The Glassmen are a race of Giants that live in superheated areas around volcanic activity and raw sources of heat. Their skin has undergone a chemical change where it can harden in a moment's notice to become highly resistant and resilient to physical attacks. This has caused them to be naturally armored and they use this to the greatest extent possible as they charge through enemy buildings and structures. They use hand to hand combat with punches and kicks to destroy all things which stand before them. They tend to operate in small squads across the battlefield or as single destructive beings on other worlds in service to the Astarian Empire.
The Apemen:
The Apemen are a race of Giants characterized by their massive stocky bodies. They have broad chests and shoulders with massive muscular arms longer than their legs. They have dark skin and thick brown hair. They have hairless faces, hands, feet, and ears which are rugged and cragged. They walk on all fours by curling their fingers under and walking on their knuckles. They have large hands and feet with opposable thumbs and semi-opposable toes for gripping. This has allowed them to use tools and equipment to a great degree of effect. They will leap great distances and slam around heavy war clubs. They tend to operate in small groups and hunt as a pack.
The Reptagen:
The Reptagen are a race of Giants characterized by their oversized massive reptilian bodies. They are colossal bipedal gator people that have large thick spiked shells on their back. They lumber across the battlefield using massive mech weapons and armor with small towers and fortresses built on their backs housing tons of Lizardmen for battle. They act as titanic units with fast regenerating capabilities able to regrow lost limbs with ease. They are agile fast swimmers and can transport even the heaviest of armor ground vehicles and tanks on their shells. They tend to operate independently from others as huge hulking war titans.
Culture
Their culture develops differently on every world, they will always follow their rules and directive in service to the Astarian Empire.
Astarian Empire's Thoughts
Giants are powerful heavy hitting warriors who can work with Mech units to really confuse the enemies.
After The Cataclysmic Shift
After the Great Cataclysmic Shift the Giants have grown stronger and more resiliant with a magical aura now surrounding them resisting slow moving kinetic and piercing projectiles as a natural shield.

Playing Giants In TTRPG and or RPG Games:
In Role Playing Games, Giants are seen as mobile combat focused warriors who use their heavy hitting powers to destroy their enemies with their main drawback being the fact they are slower to react and lack major intelligence.
Playing Giants In Turn Based Strategy and or RTS Games:
In strategy games Giants are seen as powerhouse heavy hitters who turn slower and react slower. Although they can cover great distances with ease, their longer windup time before their weapons impact allow smart enemies to dodge or block, those unable may be killed instantly or gravely wounded from a single giant attack.
