  • Have you ever wondered what a Protogen is, or where it comes from? I do my best to explain all of this information to you, with the help of documents provided by Cool Koinu on her Patreon page, and the help of the ZOR Discord admins that helped me write this!
    Protogens are some of the coolest species I've seen lore-wise, and I want to do my best to represent them as best I can. Their lore is already so rich!
    If you'd like to read the lore for yourself, definitely check out and support CoolKoinu over on her Patreon, where a document is posted and updated periodically with the lore!

      may i just say that him saying that the lore behind this is intresting and well made , doesnt mean he is a furry
      like me for example. i also like protogens not for their looks behavior or even just being a furry
      its simply the fact some of their designs are really nice ( i dont mean the inappropriate ones if your asking )
      and the fandom itself is wholesome and nice ( apart from the minority of weird ones )
      and at the end of the day , im not simply put a furry i just respect the fandom some of the protogen design and the overall wholesomeness of most of the people
      so , please show some respect to this guy to as he probably has the same type of
      respect . in other words im not a furry and neither is he.

    • @bleba7738

      Yes, but the visor is not so fragile. With a small-caliber weapon, it will be difficult to kill an ordinary protogen.

      also that without their visor their faces don’t really have skin. Or a mouth really. Or, like anything more than just some flesh goo, I imagine (all from something Malice did) that it looks sort of like when you leave a band-aid on for too long

If the limbs are just held on by a magnet, does that mean that a strong enough electromagnetic field will just cause the protogen's limbs to just pop off?

    This lore is very interesting, I just recently discovered Protogens and actually got interested in possibly writing my own short story/fanfiction thing with different lore. Cool vid!

  • @gabrieleriva_bboykappside

    I recently discovered the lore of those magnificent fictional creatures, and both liking the fandom and being a sucker for sci-fi stuff and biological-technological connections, I easily fell in love with the concept of protogens. To the point that my head started to think about a story. I have a couple of characters in mind, but I have to come up with something consistent plotwise yet. So I started questioning myself.
    Being them both badass looking and both artificially-created life, and able to travel from planet to planet, I'd like to show a lot of stuff. But. Since it's not something I originally created, I'm struggling with some points. For example, Primagens are a closed species and I by no means intend to violate their rules, so I suppose creating those characters for the sole story purpose is out of debate. And I'm completely fine with that. It would be a lot easier for me to create an alternative version of them with no conceptual differences but with slight modifications, such as "creators" being either only referenced by this name by the creatures or substituted with other entities that are not owned by a specific person and therefore are not a closed species. I also wanted to include other life forms in this little project such as humans for example, which they make contact with. Nothing else will be changed, as the original lore is absolutely interesting to me.
    It really does sound like I'm stealing something. So I'm sorry.
    And I probably have to ask the direct creator of the species so I can be 100% sure, idk.
    What do you think? Thanks.
    (anyway it's one of my personal projects which is gonna be almost certainly private and not published anywhere, and even if would, it will not lead to any kind of profit of course, it's just a passionate fan work)

    The one thing that annoyed me was the nanite manipulation being a rare trait only, since my proto's whole thing was that she could manipulate her nanites out of her body to interact with machinery and form weapons and shit. I think I have a good workaround for it that might even let her "become" a rare in the future, but I'm still ticked that I had to do that in the first place.

    18:00 this is intriguing but also terrifying in a way. My headcanon puts this as some sort of old combat protocol activated during desperate measures when war was still raging on. Often activated when there was no sign of backup, rescue, or avenues of escape. The effects of this protocol takes a toll on the proto to the point where death is almost certain. If they do manage to survive, something is likely left irreparably damaged. Now the old protocol is just remade into a malware virus/hack
