Martian (Viaje a Marte)

Martians are a sapient humanoid species from Mars.

Biology
Martians are externally identical to Humans, although Martian males display enhanced durability, able to withstand multiple blows from adult Humans without flinching or feeling pain. In addition, they are capable of generating invisible forcefields by drawing lines in the ground with their hands. These invisible barriers can be destroyed by erasing the lines that created them. Martians are also capable of telepathically moving levitating Martian rocks, and their brains appear to be more powerful than Human brains, able to override Human orders to levitating stones.

Culture and society
Martians are currently technologically primitive, having abandoned advanced technology to create a peaceful society by cultivating their mental powers. They appear to have monitored Earth prior to abandoning advanced technology, as they abandoned their technology after seeing how Human technology led to the creation of weapons of mass destruction, and also know of a Human superhero named El Chapulín Colorado. Martian clothing is reminiscent of that of ancient Greece or Rome, consisting of white robes, himations of varying colors, sandals, and hair braids. While Martians appear dominantly female, their society is patriarchal, with a male serving as the Martian leader, wearing blue robes with one half a darker color than the other. The Martian language is identical to Spanish, and Martian architecture is reminiscent of that of ancient Greece. Martians are known to be afraid of foreign explorers, running from astronauts and not wanting to communicate with them, although the Martian leader was still willing to welcome Humans to Mars, on the condition that the Humans abandon or destroy advanced technology they bring, with the Martian leader willing to destroy or drive off foreign technology personally. Martian food and drinks are invisible, and Martians are known to commonly drink alcohol, with Martian wine being stronger than Earth's alcohol. Additionally, Martians appear to have some sort of polytheistic religion, as they sometimes mistake astronauts for gods.

Technology
Martian technology was once highly advanced, but was purposefully lost. While lacking advanced technology, Martians commonly use flat, levitating rocks as hoverpads, with the Martian leader having access to a special diamond-shaped hoverpad presumably carved out of levitating rocks, equipped with a harp-like steering wheel atop a short column. This hoverpad, while not bearing externally visible weapons, has the capacity to instantly vaporize large spacecraft with the push of a button at the base of the steering wheel column, possibly a leftover Martian technology reserved for use against foreign technology.

History
At some point in the past, Martians developed advanced technology, which enabled them to see Earth. Seeing that Human technology led to weapons of mass destruction, war, and other forms of damage to the planet, Martians resolved to abandon their advanced technology in favor of mental development, with what appears to be the last remnant of their technology hidden within a small hovercraft reserved for use by the Martian leader, Planetovulo.
