Half-Giant, Storm

Note: This race may only be selected by spending a Major Award!

Description

Half-Giant, Storm

Descendents of the storm giants are known to innately have a high affinity for runecasting and traditional sorcery. These half-giants are also often prideful of their powerful lineage and often condescending, if not assertive. Most storm giants have pale, light green skin and dark green hair and eyes, but a small number have violet skin, dark blue hair, and silver eyes.

Warning

This Half-Giant is a member of the Half-Giant race on Arelith and although they fall under the Giant racial categorization in game, they MUST not be roleplayed as a Giant.

Irongron - Sun 24 Jul, 2022: And a reminder - don't RP as a full giant. I was cautious about adding these races not for power, but frequency and RP, I don't want to be required gate or remove the reward so soon.
