Half Giant
Half Giants are somewhere between their Human and Giant ancestors in size, physical characteristics and temperament, tending toward the more social nature of their distant Human parents, but the lifespan of their Giant parents.
Half Giants have not come directly from the pairing of a Human and a Prime Giant in centuries, so far as anyone knows. Most originate from the Humans in Jotunheim before and shortly after the Wall of Winds was conjured at the end of The Iron War, or from the few giants who made their way to other lands before the war.
They are thought vanishingly rare south of the Wall, but it's likely some very tall folks in Midgard and Nidavellir have some Giant far back in their family tree.
Giants and Humans mature at vastly different rates in their societies, but physically at similar rates, and would be considered adults by the standard of who raised them. As almost all Half Giants are in Jotunheim, they would be considered adults at 100, and follow Giant ways and customs for the most part.

Basic Information
Growth Rate & Stages
Half Giant age stages take after whichever culture they are raised in, but all things being equal, they lean toward their giant side in this regard. They reach full size around 18 years of age, but are still considered in their youth until the age of 100, at 200 they are usually done with their procreation years, and are considered an elder at 300 years old, reaching an average of 500 years of age.
Legacy Beings take on traits of each of their parent species. A single Giant far back in a long line of Humans will make for a present day Half Giant with mostly Human characteristics.
Choose which of your parent species you take after more, then take the Stats and Prime Traits of that parent species, and the Legacy Trait of the other parent species.
