   Protogen do not have synthetic flesh

2. #2Visorselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Visor, face, snout, head

   The visor on a Protogen is made out of millions of small particles known as 'nanites'. These nanites act as a shield/barrier between the outside world and the internals of the Protogen's visor. Nanites are able to move freely and reassemble their position, this allows a Protogen to open and close their mouth. When eating, a gap between the face and esophagus is made to allow nutrients to be digested. The visor itself cannot be removed as the internal barrier is holding essential blood & fluid. If cracked or damaged, the visor will have an almost immune system-like response and cluster to protect the internal barrier. Protogen may lose nanites through blunt force trauma, this may lead to cracks and gaps in the outer shell layer, but the internal layer will always be protected. If the internal layer of nanites is compromised, then it will usually lead to permanent damage and eventually death. Vision is artificially enhanced by the visor allowing the Protogen to have visual display overlays, thermal and other alternative optical abilities. The visor also allows scents to penetrate through a special set of Nanite receptors which carry the information to the brain. Nanites are not bound to any particular coloration or density, only that they have an outer and internal set to form proper functionality. Underneath the visor of a Protogen you'll find the original face structure submerged in a cybernetic fluid. all holes in the face have been blocked and mechanically modified to not interfere with the visor’s nanites. Generally, the augmentations are made to fit with the brain alongside the entire front of the face, nose and eyes. Their lower jaw has been completely removed to make way for the visor to be used as the external lower jaw. Protogen are able to detect smells through specialized nanites that have smell receptors. These carry the scent information to the brain much like in humans or animals. Protogen are able to taste through a nanite-formed tongue but that ability is limited as their taste receptors are fewer in number. Their ability to taste is about half as good as that of a human.

3. #3Emotions/Digital Faceselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Visor, Face, Emotions, Emotion, Smile, Eye, Eyes, frown, frowned

   Protogen can express emotions through a digital 'face' on the visor. This is done by lighting up specific nanites on the visor, usually the same color scheme as the rest of the Protogen. These specific lit up nanites are used to show a glowing digital face on the visor. Just like when people feel happy and we pull muscles to smile, when a Protogen feels happy it sends a signal to specific nanites to 'light up' and reconfigure to make a smile. The Protogen digital face is completely customizable, but most follow the same pattern:

   • Eyes: Digital eyes, usually completely solid in color. Not their real eyes, just a digital representation. Can be reconfigured to widen in surprise, narrow in anger, or curve into "U" shapes for happiness.
   • Mouth: Digital line that is solid in color. Usually a simple line that curves into a smile, a frown, or forms an "O" shape for shock. The style of the digital face is usually depicted in a pixelated or 8-bit style. The visor is not limited to a faces, as it can display anything the Protogen wishes. It can show symbols, indicators, or even act as a 'screen', anything a standard screen can.
4. #4Hands/Paws/Feet/Tailselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Paws, Paw, Hand, Hands, Claw, Claws, Feet, Foot, Tail, Tails

   Protogen can have a variety of hand / feet shapes & sizes. The most common hand shape is a clawed paw of 4 to 5 digits, but this is only the species standard. Protogen can have either mechanical, biological, or holographic/hard light hands and feet. Both arms, legs or tail can be of either make up. (All limbs can be fully biological, artificial, or a mix)

   Protogen feet typically consist of a clawed paw with 3-4 digits, and are made in a digitigrade manner.

5. #5Plug N' Playselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: arm, arms, leg, legs, hand, hands, feet, paws, claw, claws, limb, limbs, tail, plug, connector, connectors

   The mechanical chest and lower torso of a Protogen allows the limbs to work in an adapter-like fashion. This is the plug and play limb system. Limbs attach to the socket area present in the chest plate and thigh armor with special magnetic nanites, these particles allow a solid connection as well as transmitting neural data between the limb and brain of the Protogen. Protogen are able to remove and join new, or alternative limbs, to the main body. This also allows the Protogen to easily remove a critically damaged part, or change a part to better suit the current environment.

6. #6Connections/Wirelessselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Socket, Sockets, Ports, Port, Wireless, Internet, Network, Networks, Virus, Viruses

   Protogen have physical ports, often used for being able to transfer data, diagnose certain issues and potential viruses, manually controlling certain cybernetic parts of the Protogen, and generally high bandwidth tasks that a wireless connection couldn't handle. Often concealed behind retractable armor on their chest plate or thigh armor, or at the base of their tail.

   Protogen can wirelessly connect to local networks and systems just like a typical computer could, and can do the same processes and actions on the internet as a normal computer would be able to. Protogen are extremely resistant to virus and network attacks but are not impervious to them. Virus symptoms and signs include (but are not limited to) uncontrollable or violent glitching, internal electrical blackouts, or limb incompatibility.

7. #7Sleepselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Sleep, Dream, Nap, Shutdown, Standby, Hibernation, Slumber

   Protogen's need sleep for their biological components. Biologically, it is the same as most mammals, with the slowing down and relaxing of their biological muscles, before eventually going to sleep. Cybernetically, the 'face' on the visor starts to fade away, diming significantly to a low-light setting. Optionally, Protogen can display a custom 'sleep' or 'standby' icon on their visor/Panels. All non-essential lighting, such as the Icon Panels, on their chest plate, thigh armor, and visor, will dim to conserve energy. When the protogen 'wakes' up, these lights brighten and return to normal. If a Protogen needs to goes into a deep, long-term hibernation, the protogen will go into a full shutdown mode. All lights and cybernetic processes will be shutdown, save for core life support, and await for an external signal to "wake up". This can last for weeks, months, or even years, and is much similar to cryo sleep for humans. This full shutdown mode is only used when absolutely necessary.

8. #8Nanitesselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Nanite, nanites

   Nanites play a large role in Protogen functionality. Many different types of nanites have been modified to serve particular roles and purposes in the bodily function of Protogen. The two main functions that nanites serve in all Protogen is visor (functional and protective layers) and limb connectivity.

   • Nanites range in size from 20,000 to 100,000 nanometers (Not individually visible with the naked eye) Their name comes from the size range they sit within. ​- Nanites can be replenished / replace if damaged
   • Allow nutrient and nerve information to be transferred between the body and limb (through plug and play) / blood, nerve control, etc.
   • Magnetic nanites hold limbs in place ​- Nanites also allow control on bodily hormones and chemicals allowing the physical state to cope under various conditions. (Adrenaline boost, serotonin under injury etc)
9. #9Digestive Tractselective

   Keys: Protogen · Secondary: digestive tract, consume, food, drink, nutrients, biological

   Protogen have an active digestive tract which allows them to consume food/Nutrients for energy. When the food is pushed down the esophagus and enters the stomach. The digested food is processed into nutrients and energy for the biological part of the protogen, while the rest is processed through an advanced artificial organ which stores some of the power created from broken energy molecules. This energy is then converted into electricity which powers the artificial parts. Protogen's were designed to be efficient, natural waste removal is a timely process so a vaporization method was implemented to increase productivity. The waste is silently vaporized internally.

10. #10Chest Plateselective

    Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Chestplate, Chest, Frontplate, belly, frontal, back, backplate, plates, Armor,

    Protogen have a frontal chest plate that is permanently set in place, and cannot be removed, on the Protogen's chest and upper back. The chest plate works as a core component for the protogen, acting as a hardpoint and location of the Protogen's internal battery used to power its cybernetic systems. The sides of the chest plate are Sockets where the arms can be inserted through the Plug N' Play system.

11. #11Icon/Panel (What the hell do you call these things?)selective

    Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Cheek, Panel, Icon, Display, Logo, Hub, Panels, Icons, Logos, Hubs

    The panel/logo/icon is small circular screens set into the armor of the Protogen, Found on the shoulder, thighs, and sides of the visor. The Visor panels are separate from the visor itself.

    The Panels can be fully customized by the Protogen. Some examples of panel customization include simple graphics like a heart or a warning triangle. It can also be used for identification, such as a logo, unit number, or job insignia. It can be used for pure decoration as well, or left blank. Often the same color, and matching the overall protogen's main color scheme.

    The panel is usually lightly glowing or backlit. Light shines from the symbol, or around the symbol itself, making it stand out.

12. #12Thigh Armorselective

    Keys: Protogen · Secondary: Thigh, Thighs, Leg, Legs, Leggings, Knee, Feet, Foot, Paw, Paws, armor

    Protogen have thick armor around their upper leg and thighs. The armor stops mid-thigh, leaving the rest of the leg exposed and biological. The Thigh Armor is bulky, and are distinctly rounded, giving it a unique and identifiable shape. A panel is set against the side of the thigh plate.

    The Thigh armor houses the complex mechanical joints of the hip. It contains the "plug-and-play" sockets for the modular legs, allowing them to be detached and replaced for different tasks.
