Sophisticated, uptight, and snotty, pearl giants are extravagant, calm minded owners of great underwater estates, with little concern for the happenings on the surface. Their lean bodies sport fair blue skin, with deep blue or violet hair and deep blue eyes. Feudal Fjords. Pearl giants are spread all around the world, carrying themselves on the currents. Rarely, if ever, do more than one or at most five giants live together, though in once every two months clans gather for a meeting. Highbrowed Aristocrats. If a single defining trait had to be picked to describe pearl giants, it would have to be snobby. Pearl giants find themselves, especially their appearance, very important. Most time spent in their homes is spent on primping, grooming, and preening and tidying up around the place. As aristocrats, they naturally look down upon most other giants, think of them as rude and disorganized. Oceanographers. Pearl giants know practically all the secrets of the sea, and as such desire most of all the treasures it creates. These include coral, scallops, sunken materials, and even whale bones. These treasures may be gained from sailers, as pearl giants rarely travel and possess the necessary politeness and silver-tongue. You Scratch My Back. Pearl giants love to show off their treasure and it's very important to them; they bring gifts to other pearl giants, which usually in truth mean "Look how much wealthier I am than you.", and flaunt their massive coral reef treasuries like rings upon their fingers. However, they protect this reef with their lives and are very conservative when it comes to their treasures. Pearl giants don't make interesting gamblers because they'd always be betting the lowest possible amount. They've always frowned upon the "uncouthness" of cloud giants' gambling habits and claim they could never hold on to any of the treasure they gain for long, eventually betting and losing it. |
