Name(s): The Enacitekz (rough translation from some old tablets)

Title(s): The Diamond Golems

Sex/Gender: Unknown. Possible none.

'''Appearance: The first thing that comes to mind regarding is their essence. Rather than possessing organic material, they're actually made of a crystalline substance (hence their name). And while they are generally humanoid, they don't exactly have faces (or at least, faces as detailed as most beings on Remnant). They're also said to tower over the average Human and Faunus.

Appearance Variation(s): Some texts describe their faces as being blank slates, lacking any sort of facial features. Others claim that they possess a single eye or optical sensor of the like. Some of them are said to be as broad as a rhino, others as skinny as a needle.

Patronage: Many ancient texts often associate these entities with the sun, as well as anything else related to light. However, different cultures have different views of them. While some see them as demigods or agents of them, others view them as demons and invaders.

Powers and Abilities: They're mostly known for their ability to manipulate light: hardlight constructs, holographic illusions, invisibility, firing lasers, that sort of thing. They can actually use the last bit to provide a sort of makeshift thruster or jetpack, with some being said to use this as their primarily means of mobility. Legends claim that their "skin" is tougher than steel, making them difficult to harm (anther reason behind their title). However, it is said that they are vulnerable to acids. They can manipulate the substance of their bodies, allowing them to make some physical alterations on them. Often at times, these involve producing spikes or makeshift melee weapons. this is also said to extend to altering their mass, typically into "needle men" or hulking giants.

Worship Status: Unknown. It is possible that in the past, that some ancient Kingdoms worshiped these beings. And while some tribes within and around Vacuo believe that these beings existed, no one actively worships or curses them (as far as most of "civilization" knows).

Worship Practices: Unknown.

Origins: Unknown. Given that most references to them were found in Vacuo and Vale, it seems likely that they originated from a forgotten Kingdom or tribe originating from the same landmass.

Current Places of Worship: Unknown. Some texts recovered from Vacuo do make mention of a "crystal pyramid".

Legend(s): Most stories claim that they decended from the sky, either from the stars or the moon. A few texts connect them to a place called "The Pale City", though these are somewhat scarce. Their roles varied across the continent. While some were said to be allies and massagers of gods (with one supposedly being one itself), others see them as invaders and destroyers. Regardless, they were said to have arrived here before Mankind was born. According to legend, Man made contact with these sometime after Dust was discovered. Some texts say that the beings discovered it first, and pasted it down to Man. Others claim that Man fought and killed these beings, extracting it from their broken bodies. Whatever the case, their encounters with Man became far and few, their numbers seemingly decreasing as time went on. Eventually, they just vanished.

Impact on Remnant: One tribe is said to have made contact with a Golem in the past, supposedly learning the secrets of Dust from it. Another claims to have driven one away from their homelands when it "harnessed the furies of the sun" and set their village on fire. In the present day, there is an author of fantasy and science-fiction working on a novel based on the legends.

Notes: The inspiration came from the Frost Atronachs from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as well as Diamondhead's species from the original Ben 10 cartoon.
