Homebrew The Protogen Species Details

History

Protogen are a race of artificial beings created for the purpose of exploration. Their bodies consist of 60% biological components and 40% artificial magitech. They have often resemble the appearance of a bipedal wolf that is wearing mask covering their face. Their chest and waist are made of enchanted iron pieces that allow for movement and attachment of limbs. Protogens have circular runs on their shoulders, thighs, and sides of their heads that indicate either the name or purpose of the protogen.

Their mask is part of their anatomy and serves as their face. On it are glowing markings that shift to show their facial expressions and the mask itself can change shape to allow the intake of food and drink. The limbs of a protogen are replaceable as they are attached at the shoulder, hips, and tail bone using a spherical magic stone attached to the limb that links with an indentation on the torso of the protogen. This allows them to be adapted to most environments that they could be exploring as well as provide additional functionality to their limbs.

Being built for war they are in a sense like War-Forged in the way the interact with society. Rumors do exist of civilian Protogen population located somewhere, but they have yet to be cooperated by more than a few sources.
