Review For A New Science Fiction Race

This is one of six races, I'm thinking might make it into a new Science fiction, play by post Role-playing Game.
I was wondering what do people think they would, or perhaps should look like? And yes, they would be a playable character. Thick, or thinned boned, slender, or squat? What would their space ships look like?

Race: Dishonian
Home-world: Lithio's 4 (Fourth terrestial planet, from its orange sun)

Description: Dishon's were the first alien species encountered by human's that were significantly different in physiology, and psychology from people of the earth.They are human-like in many respects, but in other ways they're totally different. Their cranium is larger, and their ears smaller.

Lithio's (The home planet, as translated from their tongue) is a harsh world, dry and hot with higher gravity and a thicker atmosphere than Earth. These conditions affected the Dishonian physical development. Dishonian's are stronger than Humans, with more physical endurance.

Their blood chemistry is based on Manganese (Rather than iron) as a carrier of oxygen. This makes their blood pinkish (Females) to brown in color (Males), and gives them a somewhat pink to brown complexion.
Their eyes are protected from the harsh Lithionian winds and sand by a thin transparent membrane, much like a second eyelid.

Dishonian culture is far older than Earth's own. In prehistory, Dishonian's were tribal and warlike and savage as early Humans, if not more so. Their savagery threatened to bring about their extinction. Through constant warfare.

They are telepathic, also have telekinesis, and can levitate to a limited extent, dependent on their psychic core statistic.
When a character uses one of its Dishonian abilities, like telepathy, it must make a save on its psychic score (One of seven core stats), with modifier's. Example: subject can be touched -20, subject is non sentient +25.

Note: Psychic, will be one of seven core statistics, and this race usually has high scores in this. All the other races, including human's have negative modifier's.

Typically racial modifiers for Dishonians are: Strength:+20 Endurance:+10 Intelligence:+10 Dexterity:0 Charisma:-5 Luck:-30 Psychic:+5 (Core abilities being percentile).
