Wotan

The @Wotan are a hybrid race born from the rare and perilous union between a Fish-Man and a Giant, a living testament to two worlds that should never have crossed. Their very existence defies biology and borders on myth — beings forged from the depths of the ocean and the peaks of the world above. Though smaller than true Giants, they tower over ordinary beings, often reaching six to ten meters in height, with shoulders broad enough to cast a ship’s shadow.

Their skin reflects their aquatic lineage, shimmering in hues of blues, greens, or coral reds, often patterned with scales that glint like armor under sunlight. Gills line their necks or ribs, and their eyes gleam with the glassy focus of deep-sea predators. From their @Giants heritage, they inherit bone density and musculature of impossible scale — even an untrained Wotan can lift ships or crush boulders barehanded.

Their strength is legendary, a fusion of two mighty races: the raw power of the Giants and the fluid grace of the Fish-Men. Some possess traits of their aquatic ancestors — shark teeth, octopus arms, fins, or bioluminescent spots — while others resemble titanic humans with faint oceanic markings. But all Wotans share one curse: they belong nowhere.

Among Giants, they are seen as frail half-breeds; among Fish-Men, as monstrosities too large to swim freely. Thus, Wotans often become mercenaries, bodyguards, or pirates, carving out respect in a world that rejects them. Many find solace under the sea, where pressure and darkness embrace them equally. Others wander the Grand Line, earning infamy as “Sea Ogres” or “Abyssal Warriors.”

Despite their burden, Wotans are not dull brutes — they carry the pride of both their bloodlines. Their communities, when they form, are nomadic and sea-based: floating villages of massive ships or coral platforms where family bonds outweigh prejudice.

In combat, a Wotan is a tidal force. When they fight underwater, their speed rivals Sea Kings; on land, their steps shake the earth. Combined with @Fish-Men or Giant-style weaponry, their might becomes near-divin
