=== Of Mice and Immortals === Post relationships between supernaturals here, sucka '''Official Templates''' Mortals: Giants and humans have a turbulant history. Giants are born to human parents, each and every one, and as such have at least some capacity to understand most human sensibilities, and thus opt to stay away from developed areas in fear of frightening the people with the big guns. Giants are sufficiently rare enough to escape the notice of mundane mortals by opting to live in inhospitable environments, and if they're spotted, the Doubt will take care of them. This does not mean that all giants shy away from people; The less scrupulous giants tend to see humans as subjects to rule over at best, food at worst. The most arrogant may even choose to ignore them the same way a man might ignore a flower in his path. However, should the giant choose to exercise conquest, they usually keep to small towns, lest they draw the attention of Giant-Slayers or the Wenennefer. Generally speaking though, historically Giants didn't hide very well, but they were rare, and never carried nor cared for much political power amongst the kingdoms of man, opting to raise their status among their Councils. Vampires: There are always a few young vampire coteries with eyes bigger than their stomachs. The Elders like to think of the Giants as natural selection weeding out the neonates too stupid to survive. The Giants get to use vitae in the crafting of singing weapons. It is a equitable arrangement for both sides. Werewolves: After a few ugly wars over territory back in the day, both sides decided that perhaps it was best to just pretend that the other didn't exist. This has obviously not been upheld perfectly over the years but it remains a general status quo. Mages: GANGWAR OVER LEY LINES BITCHES also tell me about ascension Prometheans: Prometheans and Giants prefer to avoid eachother. Prometheans prefer to not get wrapped up in the power struggles of Giants, as they tend to leave areas in ruin faster than wasteland ever could. While Giants are not immune to disquiet, they are fascinated by it. Some Giants believe one of their kind first discovered the Promethean Fire, That Prometheus himself was a giant punished by the pantheonic gods for giving humanity such power. Others say they may have been an attempt to build new giants, or even revive the Pure Brother. Still, Prometheans often find themselves stalked and indeed captured by the more greedy giants, who refuse to believe that these creatures are anything more than thrir own plaything. In other words, they have a very strained relationship, made worse by the hubris of Giants. Changelings: Scholars are close to Changelings due to their reliance on fairy tales and myth to establish their history, both have a lingering shudder crawling up their spine that the Pantheonic Gods and the Gentry are one and the same. note: gentry = warnings, gods = epic stories of conquest, differing genres. It's a grisly optimism in the tales of the Giants that supports this separation of the two. Sin-Eaters: Sin Eaters and Giants have little to no relationship whenever possible. The two very rarely make similar enemies, or even enemies of eachother. Beasts: Giants often wonder if they are subset of beast, or if beasts were created by nightmares of giants. Either way, the two groups tend to get along, more often than not. Maybe it's the mutual suffering of being a powerful monster trapped in an age that forgot about them, maybe it's the need to attach to myths, or maybe it's a mutual understanding between monsters in general. Whatever it is, the two tend to remain on good terms. Hunters: Giants tend to take land power for themselves, often forcing people out of work, or even worse, off of their homes. As a result, they make enemies with the Night Watch, The Union, and Task Force Valkyrie very easily. Heroes: They hate eachother, plain and simple. A giant is a creature of power, often noble in it's pursuit of land and wealth, thus making heroes view them as Ideal enemies. Some say David was a misguided Hero who killed Goliath, mistakenly believing him to be a monster. Same with Grendal, Sticky Hair, and various other famed Giants. It's hard to tell who was a Giant and who was a beast when both thrive on myths. '''Homebrew Templates''' Half-Giants: Genii: Surprisingly good relations here. Both sides know the pain of being doubted and dismissed. The let us say, unique, worldview of Genii allows them to accommodate the Giants as Bardo creatures and sidestep the curse of doubt. Giants don't inspire Havoc and there are occasional collaborations to experiment combining Axioms and Gigantomachia. The results are.. inconclusive and very dangerous. Leviathans: Lots of bad blood from the olden times here. Thousands of feuds, insults, wars, and petty slights. The world was literally not big enough for the both of them. Princesses: Giants and Princesses are more often than not enemies. Indeed, Giants are the polar opposite of a Princess: A Giant looks down on human ideals, whereas a Princess looks up to them. Think of how 4channers view tumblr and vice versa for a general idea of how they see eachother. Feel free to add your own!
