Koltonians Physical facts.

Koltonians hail from the planet Kolton, A world much larger in mass than Equis that orbited a red sun twenty seven light years away.
Their society was highly advanced in the fields of science, technology & culture.

Physiology: Koltonians share many physical traits with Equestrians. Both species are sentient quadrupedal single toed ungulates. Their coats and manes come in a variety of color combinations and both bear colored marks on their flanks. However while at first glance the two species may appear indistinguishable from each other there are many differences in the biology.

Koltonians consist of two separate races. Earth Walkers and Biceracorns.

Earthwalkers: This race bears similarities to the Equestrian Earth Pony in many respects the first and foremost their great strength. Due to Kolton's heavier gravity Earthwalkers are much stronger and more durable than Earth Ponies counterparts. However they lack their ability to grow plants.

Once, when Kolton's sun Roa was still young, The Earth Walkers were gifted with incredible powers including but not limited to near invulnerability, flight, superequine strength, endurance, speed, reflexes, lung capacity, intelligence and senses see subsection list of Earth Walker sensory powers.

The source of their powers was due to their race's natural ability to absorb sunlight. Since solar magic disperses the closer it gets to a planet this means that the closer an Earth Walker is to the sun the more solar magic they absorb the more powerful they are. But as the centuries turned to millennia and Roa's light began to fade, these abilities gradually began to deteriorate. By the time of Kolton's destruction the Earth Walkers were a shell of their former race reduced mostly to the Labor and Military Herds although a few prestigious stables like the Stable of El was permitted to remain in the Science Herd.

Biceracorns: This race was notable for the twin horns arranged vertically on their foreheads. Like the Unicorns of Equis these were used to channel solar energy directly into the brain. This trait endowed them with incredible mental powers including but not limited to superequine intelligence, memory, telepathy, psychokinesis, extrasensory perception, teleportation, mental constructs and spell casting. See sub section on Biceracorn magic.

Biceracorns were able to negate the effects of evolutionary deterioration thru the use of bio mechanical implants and genetic engineering.

I've read reports about a blue unicorn mare asking a lot of questions.)

With each subsequent generation these changes became more and more substantial to the point where most Biceracorns forwent further procreation in favor of immortality via the science of cloning new bodies for their consciousness to be implanted into.
(Wonder what the Princesses would say about this.) By the time of Kolton's destruction The Biceracorns were entirely genetically engineered to live specific livelihoods from birth. These lifestyles were defined by a strict adherence to logic, understanding, learning, planning, creativity and problem solving. This left the Biceracorns mostly sterile of emotions and impulses which they viewed as illogical and taboo.

Biceracorns mostly made up the Science, Artisan, Clerical, and Leadership Herds, taking up the entirety of the Planetary Council. Those Chosen to lead the council were specifically engineered to think and act as an impartial hive mind that would make decisions designed to best benefit Kolton as whole as opposed to favoring certain herds, groups or special interests.

Okay Pinkie going crazy is where I draw the line, I'm gonna go hide in the crawlspace until she calms down. This was just something to help my writers block while I try to get back to work on the story.
