This species is a highly evolved humanoid resembling gorillas. They stand anywhere from three and a half feet tall to seven feet tall and can weigh anywhere from 300 lbs to 4000 lbs. Their pelts are generally a stark white throughout their lives and their eyes are almost always a multitude of vibrant blues and greens, making for a very intense stare.
Like minotaurs, this race is incapable of vocal speech of any sort, referring to noises and grunts, and communicating through telepathy. Unlike the minotaurs, the Pontons are a very ethical and peaceful race with little to do with the evils that seem to preoccupy the world they live in. This race is inherently intelligent and have developed highly sophisticated social systems in which they rely on the general effort to supply for all of their species, young and old, weak and strong. Within their societies, they trade and build necessities with other races. They are very benevolent beings, never refusing to help anyone or anything in need of nurturing or guidance. They do not seem to behave on biases or hatreds, and coexist very well with others. It is quite remarkable how well they pick up on things, suggesting that their senses act differently than other species. It is very strange, because no Ponton will boast this or even acknowledge it. It seems, to them, that it is just the way to live. They rely heavily in their peaceful and benevolent ways, and they will defend it to their death. However, to kill a Ponton is no great feat. Depending on the given scenario, Pontons are wrecking machines. These animals are by far the most physically superior race on the face of Solaris, feared by even minotaurs and demons. Their physique pushes the cusp of perfection, and almost every Ponton seems to understand on some visceral level how to brutally and quickly deal with any threat to their well-being or to what they consider to be the natural ethics of the world they reside in. The name of this species translates to hulk from the human language of French after a French team of scientists thought to steal a young Ponton. The leader of the this group was literally decapitated by a punch. |

Racial Ability 1:Home - When in a forest, a Ponton has a permanent bonus of 50% to Dodge SVS. Once per battle, he may freely grant this blessing to an ally within 10 feet, giving them a 50% bonus to Dodge SVS for three turns. (Passive Ability) Racial Ability 2:Telepathy - Pontons cannot speak normally, but they can communicate telepathically. They have a natural mental shielding preventing any entity from being able to “intercept” telepathic communication between himself and any other. (Passive Ability) Racial Ability 3:Kindness - This is not so much a racial ability as it is a strange understanding that a Ponton will never be capable of ill-will, and will readily be trusted by most other races.
