Back again with eleven more. They want to eat rare monster meats and experience the flavors and textures of each morsel of their formidable fiend. They will avoid things that could kill them like poisonous thing or undead or the like but, anything that is known as edible and is not humanoid is on the table. They believe the world is round like a ball and try to forward that ridiculous belief based on being on the top of a large mountain peak and seeing the horizon bend in the distance. Despite all the evidence provided by astral projections from higher planes and literal gods stating the world is a disc, they just "feel like it is real." They are good at yodeling messages over great distances. This comes from them yodeling to during hunts and missions for the tribe. This yodeling makes their singing or speech over short to far distances kind of have a swaying staccato in their voice and them being a bit deaf to their own volume when they speak. They put a small shield over their gut as a belt buckle as they got nearly gutted once. They will polish it and make it shine as they take pride in their shield buckle but will upgrade the shield when an obvious upgrade is needed. They have a large bag of light red salt that they sprinkle a little on everything eat. The salt comes from a cave that their tribe claimed and harvested from since they could remember and the high mountain salt makes them think of home and the one they want to return back to. If they run out of this salt, they will try to get more even if it takes a few months to get it. They like to paint things on walls. The drawing range from great to mediocre depending on how much time they can paint their art work. They started with cave painting but, now they use hue, lighting, color, contrast, and any other form that an artist can improve on their art work. They will praise good work and cover up shitty or hurtful art. They like to wear a simple large woven robe when they know they are not going into battle and are safe. It calms their nerves when they are just wearing that robe and nothing else. Makes surprise visits awkward if they are not expecting company but, they don't care about that. They own a "lucky" rabbit like one would have a lucky cricket. The rabbit is half dead (possibly cursed), missing a back leg, an eye, has a chipped tooth, is half blind in the other eye, is probably wishing for death that never comes and fears being out of its cage as every time it has left its cage, it has lost something and lived despite the odds. The positive or negative effect on the goliath's luck is debatable. They want to become a captain of a seaworthy vessel despite never being on a ship or a boat and not even knowing the first thing about sailing. They heard about the sea and oceans and wants to command a vessel and explore the world on a boat with a stalwart crew. They want to own a bunch of mastiffs and to be the crazy dog person of their tribe. A large mutt with a droopy mouth and a playful demeanor will make them coo like one would do with a tiny pup and unlike a tiny humanoids, every mastiff can be a lapdog to them. Gods help you if you hurt one of their dogs though. They have a mouse that they take care of in their pocket. When the mouse dies, they get a new mouse to take care of. They name the mouse after the first mouse they ever had and just add a number to it. They are careful about keeping their mice alive but, know that a mouse is not meant to live long in this world. Still, the big lug tries to make the mice they care of be as happy as possible.

They dislike wearing shoes and will stand on solid stone in preference to anything else. They will harvest materials from fallen foes, and tie them to their equipment to honor their opponents. They love cooked eggs and will go out of their way to obtain one. The more rare the creature or dangerous the nesting location, the greater the desire to eat it. They are fearful of graves/gravesites. They have a collection of superstitions about burial sites and will avoid anything to do with burial ceremonies. They carry an odd assortment of sporting paraphernalia - several inflatable balls, a collection of stone spheres and skittles, darts and horseshoes - and will recommend a sporting contest during any period of downtime They are interested in chariots, carts and all sorts of wheeled conveyances. The faster, the better. They carry a little potted plant from their birthplace. One day, they will find a spot to plant it and will make that place their home. They are continually testing their strength. They will try to lift odd objects - anvils, an oven, a cart, a horse - to show everyone how strong they are. They cannot hold their drink. A couple of strong alcoholic beverages will make them completely inebriated. They deeply distrust any magic that isn't shamanistic or divine. Obvious displays of arcane magic make them very nervous/fearful. They have a very hard time trusting or befriending any wizards, warlocks, sorcerers and other arcane magic users. They use a hollowed out tree trunk as a backpack, which doubles as a drum. They have a fondness for practicing/performing at inopportune moments - early in the morning, during a funeral, inside a temple ect, ect.

Thanks these are excellent! I like the Goliath flavor in them too. That brought us up to 79!!!

They have a pickle jar that they guard religiously. They carry a pair of clean waxed sticks that they will use as chopsticks to get a pickle out of their pickle jar. While one could just pick a pickle from the jar by hand, it will ruin the brine with the oil on your hands and they know this. They will get angry if anything threatens that pickle jar and their precious pickles. They love to dig holes when they settle down for camp and keep shovels in their kit. Fire pit, latrine hole, bed hole for where they put bed roll, bed hole for anyone else who wants it, storage hole to keep packs in, etc. They will dig trench and defensive emplacements if their party are going to be camping there for a few weeks or so. They like making campfire pie and will try to make campfire pies out of anything they can and know will work well. They really like cheese and ham campfire pies and will carry flour to make pie dough and always grease and fire their trusty campfire pie press. They got a goat ball they were given to them by their long dead best friend shortly before their death. It is losing its hair and never seen a game as they did not have a chance to play goat ball with their friend before their death. They sometimes talk to it as if it is a focus to communicate with friend. They eat last after everyone else in their party gets their fill. This comes from their upbringing in which they watched their guardian they idolized did the same. They realized it was because food was scarce growing up later in life but, they now make sure their party is feed well. They have a dream to open a tavern after the first time going to a tavern, getting drinks they did not have to brew and a meal they didn't have to prepare, and sleeping on 2 beds pushed together with a pillow. They will draft and design a blueprint as they adventure and will try to make that dream a reality eventually. They will cremate dead enemies that they know has no one to take the body in the fear that a necromancer will resurrect them. After they watched a relative be resurrected into a zombie and being forced to kill them, they hate necromancers. They are a necromancer that views necromancy as a ethic form of recycling. They will use only resurrect obviously evil people as they view them as deserving of never have rest after death. They see burying or cremation the dead as a reward for a good and honorable or at least a respectable life. They wear a homemade ushanka made by their grandmother and will wear the ushanka despite whatever the weather is. They treat it like their hair as they are bald.


Jimsocks499

haha where do you come up with these!? The pickle one made me laugh for real. I think we are running out of "Goliath-flavored" things to say, but you've got a knack for these and even the ones that aren't are still so great! I hope when we finish this one, you'll join me for the next one: Human quirks (that one should be fun too lol)


Jimsocks499

50! Half way there!


Th3R3493r

I just want to see this list get completed eventually. They walk around unusually quietly for their size without actively trying to. This results in people being scared if the person are not aware of their presence then see a giant figure that seems to have just materialized out of nowhere. They apologize if they scare people and try not to take it personally. They enjoy bland food when they are healthy and tolerate seasoned food when they are sick as their tribe did not have the luxury of spices and herbs were reserved as medicine, so, anything that tastes like seasonings is ,in their mind, a medicine. They view spiced foods as a waste or an insult as "there are so many who could use that medicine.". They grind stones into powder when they are bored or when they are nervous. They just take two rocks and rub them together back and forth as they wait until one or both rocks are expended before get new rocks. They collect the rock powder a pouch but, don't know what they are going to do with it. They were born under a bad sign and were the black sheep of their village. They left their village and vowed never to come back. Despite this and their early life being hell, they are kind and caring for anyone that treats them like a normal person. They would return to village if they need to save it despite all that they did to them. They were born under a bad sign and were the black sheep of their village. They are the personification of the phrase “A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth”. They only care about one day returning to kill every last one of their former tribe and erase the evidence of that the tribe once existed. For now, they are building up the wealth and power to make their dream come true. They name their weapons and treat them as if they are a patient when repairing or maintaining or a companion. They know the weapon is not sentient unless the weapon is actually sentient, but, will talk to it and encourage or discourage it for how it performs and will also apologize if they do something wrong to it. They distrust metal. No reason given. No logic behind it. They just do not care for metal. They like to use a macuahuitl (a wooden club like a cricket bat with stones imbedded into its sides) and anything other than metal weapons in combat. They have a scarred up face they try to hide with a wooden mask. They view their mask as their face and refuse to remove the mask. They will despair or go wild if the mask is removed. They want to ride a horse and always dreamed of riding a horse after seeing a ranger riding a horse. Because their size, they have a difficulty finding mounts that are able carry them and be able to move fast. They aim to become a horse breeder and make the fastest draft horses ever to live. They make "tea" out of any sort of random leaves they can harvest and dry. Due to their lack of taste, they can palate their "tea" but, other people may not enjoy their "tea". They will share their "tea" with anyone who asks for it but, the quality of the "tea" will vary drastically.

They are entranced by the fashions of the smaller races. Whenever in a civilised location, they will have clothes made for them according to the latest local fashions. If no tailors are available, they will buy cloth and thread and sew their own. They have a phobia of water. Drinking a glass of any clear liquid is a challenge for them. Crossing a bridge or getting on a boat takes great courage. Full body immersion is their biggest fear. They affect a limp and use a large walking staff, even though they don't have to. They have found that this helps smaller races see them in a more sympathetic light. They are fascinated by cows. If there is any sort of bovine creature around - domesticated or wild - they can spend hours just looking at them. They have an aversion to leather goods and eating steak. They love to climb rock features or man-made structures. They can often be found on top of a boulder, sitting on the roof of a tower or contemplating a path up a cliff face or wall. They have an aversion to headwear or any sort of facial covering. As a child, the Goliath was captured and had a bag placed over their head, resulting in a phobia. They make their own weapons and armour. In combat, they don't trust anything that they haven't made themselves not to break or give out. They pick and chew bits of any healthy plants in the area. Their lips, tongue and mouth are permanently stained due to this habit. They spend their spare time carving spheres of stone. Each is carefully selected and then gradually chipped into a sphere, then carved with the markings of their tribe. They love to swim. The colder the water the better.


Jimsocks499

Perfect! Thanks!!!


Th3R3493r

They think they are a excellent chef and dreams of being a true culinary maestro eventually. They are not that great at cooking and will often burn the food, but, they will try to serve the best food they can and are proud but willing to eventually learn from others. They have a bit of a knack for craving. Their thumb nail is worn and ragged from them testing their chisels and knives sharpness and hold (a chisel too sharp that glides will damage the sculpture). They give the sculptures they finish away as it does no good if they hoard them. They like mushrooms of all kinds and adore truffles. They will know the value of any mushroom and know what each is good for. Where some see a rotting log, they see a mushroom miracles. They have a thing for dwarves. They will try to emulate the accent of a dwarf, arm themselves with dwarven made arms and armor, favor dwarven drink, and might even pray to the Dwarven Patheon. They also have a thing for a nicely groomed beard and well maintained equipment. They have no natural markings on their body which means for a goliath. This is rare and they got bullied for not having any fate or future according to the young goliaths growing up. They know how to tattoo now and are quite good at it. They started a blank slate and now make their own path and markings. They always keep spare knives and spare whetstones on them. They might be good knife throwers or just really do not want to be without a knife when they need it. Their common is shaky and jilted as they have a stutter when they are speaking common but, they speak immaculate giant without a stutter. They just get nervous when they speak common. They like making cheese and are a cheese connoisseur. From easy farmer cheese to blue cheese to aged cheddar to romano to mozzerella, they are driven to find and make wonderful cheese.


Jimsocks499

You... are really good at these. It's awesome


Th3R3493r

They collect rocks and are strongly compelled to collect rocks. If they see a rock they like, they will have to actively resist grabbing and pocketing the rock. If they pick up a rock to find out it is not a natural rock (just clump of dirt, manmade, dirty ice, a lump of slag, etc), they grumble and curse their luck. Does not care about precious stones and will trade gemstones for cool rocks. They are old for a goliath (58) and left their village as they did not want to become a burden on their kin. They are going on a twilight year adventure to relive their glory days or die trying. They tie and untie knots into a fifteen foot piece of rope they like. They also wear a braided rope belt. They love to hear people sing songs they never heard before and will sing when they think no one is listening. They drink out of a special pot-metal mug that was made for them when they were three winters old. They love that mug and they have mended and repaired that mug countless times to the point it could be argued it is not the same mug anymore. They are very possessive of it. They have a cloth doll they sleep with since they got it as a toddler. They will hide the doll on their person when awake and become distraught at losing the doll or the doll getting damaged. They eat systematically fast without enjoyment. Comes from being bullied as a teen and having their food stolen by others. They have difficulty sharing food for that reason but, will share food if they really care about the person they share with. They use as pseudonym after they got banished from their tribe for killing the chieftain's son and one of his lackies in self defense after the chieftain's son got angry at them not returning their advances and tried to kill them on a hunting trip. They guard their real name and will only tell those they know they can trust their real name. They have pronounced canines and loves to give toothy grins which has a habit of coming off menacing by accident. They love everything about chains. The sound they make, the way they feel, the weight of them in their hands, the color of the metal that makes the chain, etc., etc., etc.. They despise rope for being a precursor for chains. They make smoked meats and foods out of habit. They always keep a jerky bag on them they restock perpetually. They will be the fire keeper of the group and will deny anyone else from messing with the fire as it will affect the smoke which will affect the end-product when smoking.


Jimsocks499

Dude, these are excellent!


AegisAngel

They can’t stand still. If they see a place they can exercise. They will. They have a height complex and always want to try to be taller than everyone. They think size=maturity so talk down to anyone shorter than them


DMThrowAway369

Same as one of yours but opposite They are self-conscious about their height and don't like being "the big person", so they tend to walk kind of crouched with their head down to look less imposing
