Petronians

Petronians are a race of silicon-based sapien life forms from the planet, Petra, which is a cluster of crystals banded together like a floating space chandelier.
==Appearance==
Petronians are made of a diamond-like material that comes in variety of colors and designs. They are a little taller than humans. They have four digits on their hands and none on their feet. Male Petronians sometimes have a spike on the back of their semi-cubic head and two to six on their back; females don't as their hair can be stylized.
==History and Culture==
The Petronian race originally dwelled beneath Petra's surface. After several centuries of warfare, a giant hole was accidentally ripped in the surface of Petra, revealing a universe far beyond Petra's heretofore self-contained existence. 
With the inadvertent discovery of space, Petronians began to stabilize their civilization and they began to explore the surface of Petra and the rest of the universe.
They are a noble race that are both explorers and warriors. More creative in their combat due to their ability to grow and control crystalized structures, they are more unpredictable than the Tetramons, who they had a treaty and trade program; they give the Tetramons Tatemite: the hardest substance known in the galaxy and the more wealthy. While the Tetramons supply the toughest engines to the Petronians for their ships.
==Powers and Abilities==
Petronians are virtually invulnerable to most physical attacks. 
Petronians can regenerate to an extent. 
Petronians are able to alter their bodies into crude tools, such as blades. 
Petronians have other diamond-based powers: shooting diamond shards, being able to cut through most materials, and causing large, almost mountainous formations of diamond. 
Being living prisms, Petronians can refract light and beam-based weaponry, channeling them through their bodies and projecting them back at their source.
