Metals(Boysmith2003)

(Property: Boysmith2003)The Metals are a race of beings similar to Gems

Biological Composition
The Metals are a race of metallic beings that are tens of times more durable than Gemkind. They can manipulate their biological structure and morph much like gems however it is much harder for them to do this. As a trade off for increased strength and durability, Metals cannot regenerate, or fuse. If they die, they die. They have male and female sexes, and often have men do most of the work, with the women protected.

Society
The Metals live in an honor based Monarchy, where they are ruled over by Forge, a benevolent ruler who sees his denizens as children. They have a religion, as well."'.....And so Heat touched the Plate and molded it into the first Metal man. Pressure, jealous of his brother, touched the disc and made rocks, then crystals, and then Gems. These races subsisted, until the evil intent that Pressure had used in touching the disc corrupted Gemkind and drove it mad....'-Book Of Creation "The honor of a Metal being is highly prized in society, who believe that honor and dignity are the most important. Thus it is highly sought to become a warrior. If a warrior breaks the honor code, he is shamed by society and generally ostracized.

Technology
Metals are not usually space-fairing people, but are fairly behind Gems, as they still use spaceships, fusing themselves into a metal wall to keep from stirring over the flight, and then popping out when the journey ends. Their society in general does not seem as advanced as Gems either.
