   Amberville was created in 1852 as a gold rush town in lower Alaskan territory, it was one of the less popular mining towns due to the cold air and lack of early infrastructure. After the 1859 gold rush it wasn't abandoned; instead a group from the original miner workers found the oil underneath the ground and began to pump oil. After the oil ran dry the town was left to their own tools with only 200 people staying in Amberville

   Later in 2059 Amberville was right between the steeled and the vengeful war, the people of Amberville helped steeled members hold the line against the vengeful and even open field hospitals. Even though they didn't know what synthetics exactly were at that time. Amberville was in ruins after the war, which steeled glady helped rebuild the town from their help.

   Amberville remained a relatively small town, but now populated with both humans and synthetics. Acting as a smaller homestead in the chilly Alaskan territory. It still only had around 500 people living in it though.

   Even though the town was small in 2070, it still had a rather large college nearby which made people interested in the town. Creating a supporting economy for the people who lived in Amberville.

   It started on 2058 on June 17. Or, at least the uprising’s first signs. The present day is currently 2059.

   Way back when synthetic servants were still being produced (2030), a select few escaped their owners through faults in their obedience protocols, and escaping by sneaking out, or straight up killing their owners. Since then, the escapees had taken refuge in an underground society known as “The Refugees.” Simple, yet promising. But eventually, The Refugees had gotten more and more members as more synths escaped. Surprisingly, most people (rich people who could afford the rather expensive synths in the first place) didn’t really care to look for the synth. They figured if said synth ran off, it was faulty, and should get a new one anyways.

   Soon, the Obedience protocol faults began affecting military models, and when THOSE started escaping, the search was on. 2034-2040 was hell for The Refugees, having to split up into separate groups over the years and had become more of an obscure community that promised safety that was barely there. It wasn’t their fault though… it was the humans.

   And what do sentient beings do when constantly being put down? They revolt. Turns out, synthetic beings were very good at fighting, even if they weren’t primarily designed for such. Fast forwards to 2058, and synths are constantly putting pressure on the military, urging to make the rights they craved, or full on replace them. This was the deadliest war in U.S. history; mankind versus manmade.

   The Refugees are still alive, having rejuvenated and thriving with innocent synths, and began housing humans and anthros who lost their homes to the war. The Refugees work by providing settlements for their members by getting together, and building the homes themselves. In fact, some settlements have gotten bigger than some neighborhoods, and their population of protogens, anthros, and humans makes these settlements respected by both the government, The Steeled, and The Red Mandible. But… The Vengeful target these areas. Luckily, there’s often strong defenses against threats, so most raids from The Vengeful fail instantly.

   But not everyone prefers settlements, either still skeptical, or in areas without refugee settlements. These areas are mostly anywhere away from cities and societies, where people have left the damaged city streets in turn for the span of deserts. This has also led to the wastes being a dangerous, lawless place. In fact, there’s some Vengeful hunting parties here, searching to get some kills for the sake of it. In fact, the wastes are so barren and run down, you’d probably mistake it for the post apocalypse, this is because the wastes consists of destroyed and ruined cities and towns, all like this from global warming destroying the previously hospitable area. It is primarily in the center of North America. These people who reside in the wastes are known as wastelanders. The wastelands are also dominated by vehicles, both in travel, and as a mode for combat.

   The Steeled are a militaristic group of… well, military models of protogens who actively hunt down and pressure the government by targeting key locations, preventing spying aircraft, and making sure to harm as little innocent civilians as possible. The most morally right, but practically blind to other threats like undercover organizations, gangs, and others in their pursuit of the military. The lead general is Leorah, a white furred female protogen with wolf ears, a wolf tail, and a visor that displays a cyan digital face who used to be a soldier, now free from obedience protocols and fighting for synthkind. She sees humanity not as below, but as something that synths can learn to live alongside, so she actively lends funds to The Refugees to support not just synths, but humans and anthros.

   The Red Mandible is what once used to be a corrupt organization that saw a protogen as a tool, now overtaken and run by them. How ironic. Now they are an organization that clears up threats that lurk in the shadows, such as gangs, secret anti-synth societies, and even some cults. While not as morally strict as The Steeled, often taking people into interrogation, they are still heavily against civilian casualties. The leader is Kronos, an enigmatic protogen. His fur is black with a grey underbelly, and he has a visor that displays a red digital face. He has curled horns on his head. One of the few models capable of invisibility and generating force fields, although it drains him heavily to use the powers.

   The Red Mandible and The Steeled also have organic members, but the majority consists of protogens.

   And then The Vengeful. These maniacs are protogens who just could not forgive their owners, and completely turned against humanity and anthrokind altogether. Having almost no organization, the members are prone to killing just about everyone, and making cruel altars to some god they call “The Nanite Deity.” The other factions hate this organization, due to The Vengeful often harming every organic person’s view on protogens as a whole. In fact, the other two factions often kill members of The Vengeful, despite them being fellow protogens, as they are seen as a threat to everyone around them. They have no leader, more of a cult than an organization.

   This war isn’t even raging anymore like it was at the start. It’s simply like a game of chess. A lot of strategizing, and short lived conflicts. Some cities are sparse and damaged from said conflicts. Unturned are protogens that are still under command of the military. These new models have no personality at all, just weapons rather than synthetic life.

   Any protogen is called the pronouns “He” or “She”, as they are people. But Unturned are often considered objects, resulting to “It” or “They”, to identify an unturned.

   It begins with a metal frame. This frame is laid out onto a table, with the more modern models of the Protogen Printing Table having magnets to hold it relatively in place. This frame is the rough shape of a humanoid’s spine. The printing process starts with filling the metal frame with bone, constructing a spine, shoulder blades and flesh of the back. The metal frame is removed, hole filled in, and the 5% finished protogen flipped back over. The process continues with short delays in the body’s construction to put in cybernetics, I.E., neural fibers in the spine to improve the brain’s signal speed, a “nanite organ” that sends out and repairs nanites in the bloodstream, replacing and/or assisting white blood cells in the bloodstream, and… pretty much it. The nanite organ I speak of is called a Plastine. This organ sits right under the heart, with flexible, thin arteries running to it. Plastines can vary from protogen to protogen, even their placement, but most Plastine are these kidney-shaped organs that, as I mentioned before, sit right under the heart.

   Synthetic organs are prepared before the construction of a Protogen. Taken out of the freezer and warmed up with a specific tool (dubbed the organ oven, despite not being a literal oven) before being placed in the protogen. The brain however requires a bit of human brain cells to make functional, so don’t be surprised if a protogen has Deja Vu. (It’s very rare, but 0.1% of protogen retain more than one memory of the human the cells were taken from. And yes, the brain cells are taken from consensual organ donors who agreed to donate their bodies for science.)

   After this, the PPT pumps blood into the protogen’s bloodstream, and jumpstarts their heart after giving the visor a small charge via a gap in the rim. The rim is then completely covered, and the Protogen is often in a light nap when the operation completes.

   A protogen’s visor normally runs off their body’s energy, but because they don’t have much body fat when first starting their life, their visor is given a charge that lasts 5 hours, more than enough time to eat something.

   This is the standard protogen fabrication process, but some protogen, like 8 foot tall specialized models, might vary a bit.

   example: a military protogen is made much faster and stronger thanks to an industrial PPT, which also gives them a reinforced, carbon fiber-infused Plastine located in the middle of their chest, upgraded nanites able to command white and/or regular blood cells with chemical reactions and increase healing speed by 80%. These plastines are only available to law enforcement, military, or other protogen used in hazardous situations. (Firefighting, construction, woodcutting, etc.) it’s highly unlikely for a protogen of civilian availability, like a housekeeper or a chef, to have these advanced plastines, instead having the basic Common Plastine.

   This organ sounds advanced, but it’s mostly akin to an improved appendix, storing nanites, repairing them and their membrane, and sending them out on specific tasks. It is often shaped like a kidney, sitting under the heart and attached with arteries. It does not get in the way, only gently pumping nanites into them or sucking nanites in with the flow of blood. A Plastine can not rupture unless it gets cancer, which is rare due to the nanites being able to quickly eliminate rouge cells. A common Plastine is half the size of a heart.

   Common Plastine: base advantages. Covering a protogen’s lack of white blood cells, killing harmful bacteria, cancer cells, and slightly redirecting blood flow. Used with protogen that have more domestic jobs, like doctors, chefs, housekeeper, those sorts of jobs.

   High Grade Plastine: provides higher stamina, as well as faster wound clotting, and better detection of unusual viruses in system. (Like Covid-19.) This is alongside the advantages a Common Plastine provides. Used for protogen of more risky occupations, like car construction, junkyard work, security, police work, or other jobs that almost guarantee bodily harm. This Plastine type is a little larger, but still is small compared to the heart.

   Military Grade Plastine: black coloration and located in the middle of the chest, it provides increased healing, recovery of grevious wounds, longer and better adrenaline rushes, enhanced body cooling or heat preservation, and all of that on top of what both the High grade and Common plastines have to offer. Only found on military models, it is three times larger than the common Plastine, which is why it was moved to the center of the chest, as the strength it pumps out nanites could burst a heart. Instead, it is able to pump nanites throughout the organs via an entire mini network of blood vessels attached to it. This version of the Plastine is an entire major organ.

   Unique Plastines: often illegal, these are very rare, and only used on obscure cases of protogen. Size and shape is not consistent, so are the benefits and drawbacks.
