Introduction

Over the last decade or two giant people have started to appear. We are talking about 500-600ft tall people. How they grow to this size appears to vary from person to person, common examples being freak scientific accidents or falling into a vat of toxic waste. Up until now they have been scattered throughout the world, each government has dealt with them differently. In Japan for example they were dressed in costumes and appeared as giant robots and monsters in their TV shows. They were allowed to live their lives peacefully, though hidden from the public. Now, however, things have changed. For some reason the US government (it would be them, wouldn't it?) has been allowed to round them all up and transport them to an unknown location deep underground. The exact purpose of this is yet to be revealed. 

But what of the giants themselves? They have perhaps had their lives ruined by becoming enormous in the first place, and now had the lives they had managed to re-create for themselves torn away seemingly at a whim. They are treated as nothing more than interesting anomalies and mutations to be studied and discarded at any time. So what if they don't all play along with this scheme? There are safeguards in place to prevent individuals from escaping, but they have not been tested against a whole group of giants. Then again, maybe some of them want to stay- kept safe and looked after by the governments of the world. 

There are also the people working at the facility to consider. Surely one or two of them would feel some sympathy to the super-sized people they are working with? Then again, they might be slightly fearful of them, after all with that much extra size comes extra strength (as well as anything else the mutation may do for them)...
[Although they are still human, our extra-large protagonists are known simply as giants, as though they were a seperate species...]

The RP starts with each character waking up in an individual cell barely big enough for them to be lying in. The only illumination is some dim red glow seemingly emanating from the walls themselves. You have each been heavily sedated and can remember nothing of the trip. Upon awakening one side of your cell will slide open to reveal a massive room. The whole room is brightly lit and the walls, ceiling and floors are all white. In the middle is a large table with enough appropriately sized stools for everyone to sit on. There is a steaming bowl of some kind of nutrient soup for everyone. A simple sign protruding from the centre of the table reads "welcome everyone, please eat". Meanwhile, behind the one way walls, teams of scientists are busy taking notes, whilst cleverly hidden cameras and microphones record the giants' every waking moment...



Now that that's out of the way, here's the character sheet:

Due to the nature of the characters involved history is optional, not a recquirement. Please also note that if you go really overboard with the extra mutations thing I may ask you to tone it down.

Re: [OOC] It's A Giant's Life

I will create my character tomorrow, too tired right now...

Depending on the amount of interest this receives, I'm thinking of maybe 5 or 6 giants. If this proves popular then I will allow more. Only one giant per person, but you can have as many ordinary humans as you wish.
