  • Protogens are an advanced cybernetic species created by the Primagenitors that have a long and intricate backstory and lore, and today I'm going to cover almost all of it, that I could find.
    Disclaimer: All Protogen lore used in this video was written by Cool Koinu, as well as the species as a whole

    1. when I think about it, furries should be a more common element in sci-fi settings... fusing animal parts with human parts with biotechnology or straight-up full androids sounds like something that would be very common for... almost all purposes, entertainment, urban tribes, business, military, etc (at least in the human setting, in the aliens ones well it depend on the design of the aliens)
    2. now that I'm thinking and considering that even in a "peaceful" state they produce it... imagine being the company that originally wanted to just made workers, but now they are citizens but you STILL need to create them... like... from a technological company to a "birth-service"? Idk if that´s a better or worse position but it definitely gives a lot of money xd but is also pretty weird... imagine that having a child was a service that you need to pay for
    3. a game surrounding protogens would be... interesting. The war as a setting, protogens with different abilities and roles meaning different possible genres, or skill trees/abilities depending on your limbs, a separate magic system (arcai).... *for some reason my first thought is an action game, Metal-Gear-Rising style*

    • @KuQuack
      @KuQuack Год назад +1

      1: Completely agree; I make Sci-Fi stories and concepts that highlight futuristic technology as well as futuristic BIOLOGY (essentially furries) furries ARE futuristic biology
      2: Yes, near the end I was for the Protogen rebelion, but then I also thought "well, we still need something for the manual labor…"
      3: I myself have been fantisizing over a combat video game but with furries / much more verieties of combatting creatures than just humans with all their different traits and abilities. That would be awsome I think

      it would really fit into the cyberpunk style considering how important the role of companies in politics and war is in this genre

    Oh boy do I love protogens and their lore.
    So much I couldn't help but think of a side story about them.
    Some months ago I created an OC called Xaberjam and through time this developed into having one nemesis, Aleeaz the exterminator, who wants to dispose of his life.
    It was all great. Everything sounded epic in my mind, having a protogen arrive to planet earth, slightly modified to fit the narrative. First contact with Aleeaz managing to land as well. The plot didn't develop further as I'm still "worldbuilding"... Kind of? Because I started to struggle with some obstacles.
    I care for creative mind's originality and I despise actions which are meant to abuse of someone else's work, so I can't help but think. Primagens are a closed species, and I don't have any intentions of breaking the rules coolkoinu set for their world.
    Then the struggle extended to the entire lore. My version, that's what I'd call it, would make it slightly different with unclear entities in the place of Primagens (I think it'd make sense cause they technically never get to see them), but I would have to know what they actually are in this parallel version. But again, changing names and appearance wouldn't seem right and it's probably something the original lore creator wouldn't want. I don't know. I also think that, even though protogens are an open species, it might not be right to touch and modify the lore. For example, something very similar is the opinions on deciding to terminate them or spare them, being one faction wanting to let them live how they want while the other one, way more barbaric but more technologically advanced as well, wants them to only to the task they were assigned to, having both factions be assigned to tasks at creation anyway just like the original lore.
    I'm still deciding if to keep every canon name of stuff like the name of the planet as well. And I don't intend to profit on that of course, because:
    -why would I mean too, my goal job is completely different;
    -like I said, I do respect everyone's work and don't feel entitled to "change" or "fix" something in their official and canon version;
    -I'm extremely unskilled on how to do such a thing.
    So yeah, just a humble and free fan work.
    I might wanna post it somewhere sometime but I'm not sure yet. There would be a proper disclaimer anyways.
    But maybe I'm just stressing out of nothing and shouldn't worry about it. What do you think? (Asking the creator is probably the best thing to do, but it might be too direct)
