Icers - Advanced Respiratory System - The icers as a race have spent a significant amount of time in space, and have thus evolved to accomodate the harsh enviroments of it. As such they can survive in space, utilizing the tiny pockets of oxygen that actually do exist in the dark void to sustain themselves indefintely.
Early attempts to understand the icer's anatomy resulted in human scientists classifying them as silicon based life forms that consumed certain types of minerals for fundamental elements.
This of course has been since been proven incorrect. Icers are in fact flesh and blood, and do need sustenance in the form of food and water to survive. However, due to their highly evolved status, Icers require only 1/2 as much as would a human.
All icers have tails with which they can attack opponents by giving up an attack they would normally receive to employ their tail. Why? Well it receives a +2 to trip attempts and does the same damage as your fists and feet. So... why not? Also, besides being fully proficient with thier tail, icers can actually employ it as an extra attack added on to their normal allotment, effectively gaining a bonus attack by taking the feat, Multi-limb. Additionally, in the icers fifth and final stage of transformation, the tail becomes prehensile and can be used as a multi-purpose weapon/tool capable of handling man sized objects, or even disarming a weapon wielding enemy.
Normal Icers stand 4 to as high as 5 feet tall. However, this is merely the first stage of their being, and with experience, members of this highly evolved race may attempt to manipulate their dna structure and grown in size, stature and overall power. Interestingly enough, during the fourth stage of transformation, icer's regain much of their original characteristics, decreasing in size and becoming more stream lined yet again, yet not losing, and in fact gaining more power. Modern scientists have yet to puzzle out this particular enigma, and will most likely never do so until an icer capable of fourth level ascension can be carefully studied.
But while the fourth stage is a return to grace, the fifth and final level is the icer version of arnold. With rippling bisceps the size of a beer keg, these super powers are rare indeed, and are always regarded with the utmost respect in icer civilization. Only three such beings were present during the Saiya-jin Rebellion, and have since not found it nescesary to bulk up again as no conflicts of that magnitude have presented themselves.
(Strength goes up astronomically, while dexterity takes a hit. Constitution rises as well, but not as dramatically.)
Also in certain stages icers have horns which they can utilize in attacking. Lastly they take half damage from cold based attacks but suffer double damage from fire based attacks.
