protogen

Protogen is an artificial being from another universe, featuring a raptor-like appearance with a bluish coat and a visor displaying emotions. They are tasked with various responsibilities across the cosmos.

Protogens are a cybernetic-anthropomorphic species that combine advanced technology with organic traits. They were originally engineered by an advanced civilization as adaptive explorers, capable of surviving in extreme environments like deep space and high-radiation zones. Their bodies are partially robotic and partially organic, giving them resilience, intelligence, and emotional depth.

They typically have digitigrade legs, long tails, and visors instead of traditional faces. The visor can display expressions or data using LED-like visuals. Protogens are modular—parts of their bodies can be upgraded or replaced—and they often have AI cores integrated with biological brains.

They have abilities like enhanced strength, digital interfacing, and environmental adaptation. In some stories, they can use holograms, jet propulsion, or even cloaking. They form their own cultures with a blend of logic and emotion, often valuing self-improvement and technological harmony.

Protogens differ from primagens (a more powerful, restricted version) by being more customizable and widespread.
