His giant isn't so much tall like traditional giants as wide like a bodybuilder, I think is what he's saying. And if his char is extremely heavy from the muscles, he might be right about the horses, unless they're special huge giant horses - 545kg horse to carry comfortably 109kg of weight. There's another article citing a Japanese research team that said a max of about 29% of horse's weight for their breed tested. So if his char weighs more than 200kg which seems quite likely, then our usual standards of horses won't be able to carry him and move easily.
If these giants have been around for a while and horses are part of their culture to any extent, it would not be beyond imagination that their breeds of horse have developed to be larger in size/musculature to better cope with the weight of their bearers (something humans did).
Plus, that source is dealing with horses of a different size. A warhorse could weigh up to 2,200 lbs (whereas those were nearly half of that), and during jousting tournaments they would carry an average of 160 extra lbs between their armor and the armor of their riders, not to mention the weight of their riders which could exceed 200 lbs for a healthily muscled warrior.
Neverheard of "Khal Drogo."
Less like that and more...
Well, not that brutal, to be honest. He looks more like a rugged man- if scarred and hard- that's really heavily muscled, and unusually tall. He's, well, evil-looking and
I'm not taking the race of giants as a literal race of massive people, but more as a label for the massive plainsmen. That man you sent a picture of- he'd be squashed. Declan could pull a plow that a horse would pull, or have trouble pulling. And regardless of what you think of that guy, he's a human- and a horse would most certainly win tug-of-war.
And horses aren't used to ride, silly people, they'd be crushed! No, they're more like dogs- but they breed some of the best horses evar.
There is so much wrong with this statement I cannot fathom it.
To summarize, you don't know how horses work or how tall people work.
Name: Declan Horseman
Race: Giant (the kind that stand at 10feet tall, at the most)
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Occupation: Outcast
Personality/InterestsAppearance Details
Body build: Really, really muscled. Muscled to the point of crushing a man's head with a single blow- or knocking someone into a faceplant with a rough pat on the back. Wide, as in.
Hair: Roughly braided to reach the small of his back in a thick tangle
Hair color: Black
Skin color: White, but very tanned and weathered
Eye/Iris color: Stone-grey
Height/Weight: 7'/reallyreallyheavy
Notable Features: He's a small giant. And he's got a scarred up face, worn hands, and particularly nasty scar that follows the edge of the right side of his jaw
Clothing Description
Worn leather trousers. Nothing covers his hands, and he wears no shoes- but his feet are probably more durable than reinforced leather boots.
Equipment
Armor
Wearing steel chainmail chest and skirt. The kind is that of giant-make, and is hard and durable. Rough, maybe, but thick and strong. What is light or medium armor to a giant is that of heavy armor to a normal human.
Weapon(s)
A giant scythe, and a large dagger the size of a shortsword. The scythe's blade is larger than that of a longsword, of course. The shaft is more like a large sapling roughly carved.
Powers
A giant's longevity, a giant's innate resistance to magic (meaning that if you were to, say, fire a bolt of magical fire, it wouldn't do as much damage- but using magic to throw a rock will strike just as hard as before). His skin absorbs more damage than a human's; where a whip would cut and leave a long, raised, broken-skinned welt, it would do the same to a giant, except not broken-skinned or bloody.
Abilities
He's got thick skin, big lungs, strong muscles- he could crush a man with his bare hands, and keep dozens at bay with his scythe. He's also a beserker- get him really angry and you'll have to blast his face with ice, or with a great big handful of sand, choke him, or otherwise break his trance to get him out of it. During beserker, he'll gain more strength and durability, be less likely to get hit and more likely to hit, to do more damage with each swing and swing faster while doing so. But it's rage- he could easily be led into a trap.
Talents
Experienced warrior- as in, he could kill even better than just a giant, so he's doubly deadly, in addition to the giant's strength and reach, and the massive scythe.
Magic
Nay!
History
Will work on that.
Haven't read the whole sheet, but I think those are called "half-giants," and PM your history to OP when you're done.
Edit: You also described your character as Khal Drogo, and I can't get the image out of my head.
If we can make two, I would like to make a guy as well as my girl, but the GM hasn't responded yet.
Sessamaru doesn't want anyone to play more than one character because it often ends with a lot of interaction being done between you and yourself instead of others, something that would be fatal to an RP of this type.
