Petalites

Petalites are a Gem type.

Role
Petalites serve as technicians and sometimes, scientists, mainly because of their intellect and ability to adapt to situations. Most of them spent all their time repairing or building technological gadgets. They had a low rank, and also, there were a few colonized planets exclusive for them to be at and work on everything that needed it. A couple thousand years before the current time, the Elementals invaded one of these colonies and captured the Petalites in them, even shattering some, to bring them to their ship to work there or have their gemstones transformed into power source for gadgets.

Physical Characteristics
They are very short in size, rarely ever towering over 140 cm; they have either light green or light yellow skin color and hair, the latter which is shaped into spikes facing up, though the number of spikes varies from Gem to Gem. Their gemstones are usually shaped into squares or rectangles.

Most of them wear black or dark green uniforms, some with cleavages on the back.

Behavior
When they first emerge, Petalites are innocent and extremely curious about everything around them; as they have no sense of right and wrong, they are willing to go to great lengths to observe or discover things around them, appearing very robot-like and disregarding in a way. They learn things absurdly fast, and are able to understand or learn how to do something, such as fixing a weapon, just by seeing others do it. With all the knowledge they store for the time they're alive, they are able to become great strategists.

After they have already enough knowledge of the world around them and how everything works, Petalites become much more emotional and lively. They are generally high-strung, uptight, short-tempered, competitive, haughty, vengeful, and passionate. They tend to hold grudges and create rivalries over futile small things, and most think of themselves as superior to the others around them for being more intelligent. Despite all this, they know when to give up on a fight, and are very fearful and jumpy around those who are stronger than they are, being prone to extreme anxiety and panicking when put under too much pressure.
