== People ==

The people of Gig call themselves "Gigasi". They are, like everything else, giants. Three times the size of your average human, the gigasi are an impressive sight. Besides the size, the gigasi looks mostly like humans with nutty brown skin and a really bad hairday. Their proportions are slightly distorted though, with long arms and stumpy legs, and every feature on their faces seem exaggerated with long noses, bushy eyebrows and peering little eyes that are often near-sighted. The gigasi tend to be hunchback as well, giving them a sort of lumbering appearance. Shaving is pretty much unheard off, meaning most male (and quite a few females) gigasi are bearded. Having adapted to their environment, gigasi are excellent climbers.

As a people, the gigasi are very peaceful. In known history there has never been a war between gigasi. In fact, the gigasi vocabulary lacks words to describe phenomena like "war" and "fighting". The gigasi way of life is like their beloved hometree. A gigas only want to lay down his/her roots and slowly move in tune with the sun and the wind. "Stress" is another thing that the gigasi vocabulary seem to lack. One shouldn't confuse their slow pacifist nature with stupidity though. The Gigasi got a knack for scholarly pursuits and Gig's Capital sports a phenomenal university. Likewise, although the stone and wood buildings of the Gig's Capital might seem archaic and backwards, they are actually quite sophisticated, hiding top notch plumbing and electrical networking. Gig simply lack heavy industries and other modern wonders because they live in F:ing trees.

The gigasi' pacifist nature isn't without its drawbacks though. A gigasi is will never ever use force to defend him- or herself, preferring instead to flee. This makes the gigasi quite vulnerable to the beasts that lurk bellow the hometrees.
