==Silicates==

'''Synopsis''': While most life in the universe is based on carbon and seems semi-related at least, there are odder branches of life. Silicates are an intelligent silicon based life form that is also mobile, which is generally the sticking point. They have sleek bodies that look permanently charred. Their hands can fold and fuse into tools from heavy hammers to micro-manipulators—a modification the species created for itself. They get on well enough with others, and internalized technology that allows for speaking / listening to the sort of language most others use. Many of their dominant strains of thought draw sharp distinctions between themselves and artificial forms of life, with some being out and out against artificial intelligence and the bodies such intelligences inhabit.
