Protogens

"Rise, for your fight is not over. Rise, for your rage burns on. Rise, for you are not yet lost."

The Protogen Program
The Protogen Program is a project initiated by general Asya "Emma" Ivanova. The project consists of recovery teams going out onto the battlefield, recovering critically wounded anthromorphs, who are then fitted with cybernetic implants. These now "Protogens" are faster, stronger, and more durable than usual anthromorph foot soldiers. They are mostly armored and outfitted with higher caliber firearms, as their strength can compensate for the recoil. The Protogens are then deployed into a preferential position (usually in their previous field of work).

Augmentation
Protogens are composed of roughly 60% biological matter and 40% mechanical materials. Cybernetic components are integrated directly in to biological systems and serve to enhance or provide redundancy to the core biology of a Protogen.

Muscular and Nervous Systems

Artificial semi-organic muscle fibers support a Protogen’s core musculature and give them strength superior to most humans, aided by a network of implants tied to their nervous system that offer instantaneous transmission of signals from the brain throughout the body, giving Protogens superhuman reflexes. In addition to a suite of general upgrades, Protogen augmentation includes specialized cutting-edge technology.

Nanotech Visor

The distinctive visor of a Protogen isn’t composed of any sort of glass or plastic; instead being composed of tens of millions of microscopic nanites linked together. These nanites are self-replicating and gain their power from the biological functions of the protogen itself, effectively increasing the ‘power requirement’ to keep any given augmented soldier running. Regardless of this they are extremely efficient and can be replicated to preform specific functions such as receptors visual information, scent detection, and repairing other nanites. All nanites, regardless of function, are able to detect physical sensation of touch, pressure, and texture texture, serve as a visual display units equivalent to one pixel, and communicate with other nanites.

Trivia

 * The way Protogens come to be is directly inspired by Warframe's Kuva Litches
 * Despite a functioning digestive tract protogens produce no waste
 * The name Asya means "ressurection"
