[@thehugemoby1780]

this is the exact reason i respect the hell out of furies they are some of the most creative people out there... granted this can backfire on them by forgetting to separate fact from fiction sometimes. 9 times out of 10 though they either really good composers/musicians or stupid talented artists or writers.

[@duckk4515]

furries are also like making up a huge portion of the IT departments

[@Sp3ctralI]

[@KuQuack]

Furries are fully customizable organisms or really any intelegance with some sort of vessel. The idea of the furry it's self is very creative and opens many artistic possibilies for living creatures themselves! And they're cute and/or cool!

[@orax467]

Thank you so much!

I’m quite impressed at how you managed to display the entire video, with the voiceovers, the music, and the script. The whole video for me felt like a professionally crafted bite-sized documentary on this wonder of creation, A cybernetic species which i am proud to say that i am a part of.

[@m4tanker953]

This is one of the most indepth lore videos about protogens thanks

[@protogen_apollo]

You made the video exceptionally well! It organized the lore in a short yet informative way, and it was entertaining to listen to- I thought separating the sections with personal protogens' memoirs was a creative way of doing so!

[@duccky8859]

This was a masterpiece. Music choice, the voice logs and different chapters. The art was very good as well!

[@TheAddieDragon]

very interesting. Didn't realize the lore was this deep. **contemplating whether I should still put a protogen in the story I made like I had been planning**

[@KuQuack]

Fiction is for anything and everything. The backstory of a protogen in your story can be completely different. One can say it is a different universe within the relm of fiction

[@KuQuack]

(I'm always years late to internet stuff)

[@TerraWolf_Teratio]

As a writer, you could make anything about their lore of your story, for example, in a story I started writing a few months ago, the story is completely different, still with few which gained their consciousness, but most hadn’t, also takes place where war still goes on

[@axelthe_protogen]

the tape audio recording fits perfectly with the video+i love the audio of the protogen talking

[@gabrieleriva_bboykappside]

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)

[@krimsonKolbolt]

why is a part of the furry community this good at story telling. like how!?

[@peculiarstraw8648]

It's a larger part than you think. A large chunk of a furry's hobby is playing around with ideas.

[@maucazalv903]

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]

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

[@maucazalv903]

@@KuQuack 2. this point make me imagine a story in which the company that created the Protogens at the begigning starts to finance the rebellion, "we get upgrades, money, guns, and propaganda in our favour, in exchange you´ll have full monopoly of almost all of our medical services" it would really fit into the cyberpunk style considering how important the role of companies in politics and war is in this genre

Are the primagenitors just primagens or something else and if they are something else what do they look like?

[@hykorev]

It's never stated in the lore whether the Primagens are the Primagenitors, but since the Primagens were made before the Protogens and they had to be made by someone, I'd have to say they aren't the Primagenitors. Also it's never shown what the Primagenitors look like
