I could... but then they wouldn't be a surprise. They simply happen and could be anything.
The mystery is what makes it fun.

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.

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.

Aye, I acknowledge your point- but double his width in muscle, give him stone-heavy bones, and do you think the giants woudl be able to reasonably ride a horse? A Knight in full armor can only ride a horse so much- and giants are easily heavier, without armor. And stop taking everything so literal- what is a dog? "Man's best friend." A horse to a giant is a similar relationship, though more intelligent in many ways. God, if I knew there would be such hard understanding of giants that aren't ten stories tall, I wouldn't have bothered. Scratch Declan, I'm not in the mood to put up with a small crowd of skeptical criticizers.

Hello there. I just joined about an hour ago, but I've been lurking since about a day before now, and this RP has caught my attention. I even have a character idea already, but I must ask, is there any sort of limits on what species our characters can be? I like RPing as non-human characters, you understand.

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.
