A tungsten giant, ready for combat by Dinomaster337 Tungsten giants are contemplative historians, but also hardened warriors. They reside far away from civilization, so they may focus on their training of mind and body. Their gray-orange skin and jet black hair exaggerate their sparkling, blood red eyes. They are fearsome warriors who have turned entire armies of thousands into mile-long bloodstains, but their not easily angered and are generally calm and wise. As such one would usually get along well with a storm giant. Distant Lords. Tungsten giants live in almost insurmountable mountain ranges, so they may be left to their devices. The care little for the workings of humanoids and giants. They keep to the things that are written down and set, particularly historical texts. If their not reading, writing or studying, their training in warfare, tactics, and combat for whatever inevitable conflict lie ahead, as they know they can't stay hidden forever. Warbound Philosophers. Evil rises, with good its brawls. Kings stand, kings fall. They've seen it all before. Like their storm cousins, tungsten giants can find the connections in the most distant of events, predict when the rise and fall empires, and see where fortune begins and where disaster takes its place. However, unlike the storms, tungsten giants have no concerns of omens or prophecies. If they could have their way, they would remain unconcerned about the world with their noses in their history books. The text they write are encyclopedias of knowledge: they even contain limited information from the age of the giant empires. Scholars would kill to get their hands on such text, and the giants know this. They also know that everyone gets an enemy, no matter how hard you try not to. They are well aware that they can't stay hidden forever. For when the day comes, they prepare. They train in combat, tactics, and warfare, as well as mind, body, and soul. Their training is for the day they come out of hiding and stand ready to fight. However, they will be determined to avoid this day, such as disclosing secrets or gifting items of power to respectful travelers. They figure if they can push events in the right direction, they can stay hidden just a little longer. However, anger the giant and face the devastating consequences. Nihilist Loners. Rarely, if ever, do tungsten giants contact other giants. They may trade the secrets of their historical texts or seek their rare courtship, but besides that almost never met with their own kind. Parents will raise the children together and may possibly stay together, but more likely they will return to isolation after the children can look after themselves. However, siblings will often stick together and defend each other to the end, as they have a 1/100 chance of occurring thus creating a special bond between the two. Much like storm giants, humanoid worship tungsten giants as they would any lesser god. Also like storm giants worshiped by humanoids, they are governed by conscience, not law, and may become corrupt, greedy, and a serious threat. However, normally a tungsten giant will give their followers a set of guiding rules to follow and leave them at that. The will protect them if they need protection from threats, but otherwise accept their followers' faith and gifts disinterestedly, contemplating if they believe there's more to their lives.
