Giff

A humanoid race resembling 8 ft. tall, gray, upright-standing hippopotamuses. They are known for their militarily-organized, spacefaring society, and their great love of firearms and explosives. They always dress in uniforms and/or armor, and all giff have a rank from birth. Their massive, broad bodies are exceptionally strong and surprisingly agile.

Giff live rigid lives of order and obedience to a chain of command. They take great pleasure in following orders. Almost all Giff education is in combat and military subjects. They almost always find work as mercenaries or body guards.

The Giff homeworld is lost to memory, even their own. They see themselves as citizens of space, loving travel almost as much as fighting.
