Not a furry but the lore behind some of these species the fandom has come up with intrigues me. Makes me somewhat respect the furry fandom since they can come up with such deep lore.
may i just say that him saying that the lore behind this is intresting and well made , doesnt mean he is a furry like me for example. i also like protogens not for their looks behavior or even just being a furry its simply the fact some of their designs are really nice ( i dont mean the inappropriate ones if your asking ) and the fandom itself is wholesome and nice ( apart from the minority of weird ones ) and at the end of the day , im not simply put a furry i just respect the fandom some of the protogen design and the overall wholesomeness of most of the people so , please show some respect to this guy to as he probably has the same type of respect . in other words im not a furry and neither is he.
Protogens in lore: “I am a powerful being that can live in almost any environment and withstand sudden damage or change in mere minutes” Protogens irl: “ *haha toaster go brrrrrrr* “
I had a friend named Lukas, he sent me this video a while back along with a story he wrote connected to this. This is my first time watching it, I regret not watching it before he died. I miss him. This video was really cool and fun to him so, Ty for making this
yup, Koinu is doing a lot of work to ensure there is a universe of Lore behind the Protogen. Me and the other Admin are there to help her and the community grow.
@@trejartheprimagen5530 With their similar appearance why aren't protogens made from primagen DNA? Also, if primagens made protogens, how do primagens have more artificial parts? Who made the primagens?
I have a friend that loves the look of furries and I saw this and sent it to her. Now she wants to try and make lore for another type of “fur creature” as someone said when hearing the idea. We both absolutely love this.
I just recently learned about the world of Protogens. I've been a furry fan for quite a while, but protogens take it to the next level. Your video gave me an almost excessive amount of information to feed my thirst for more on protogens. I appreciate what you have done for us and I think this channel needs more love and attention. Great job and have a nice day!
Imagine, you go to remove your VR headset, only to realize to your horror that what you thought was a headset is actually your face. And then the simulation ends and you wake up in your pod. Next thing you know, you're leaving the factory, and being shipped off to fight in the war.
I would honestly love to see the Protogens lore as a movie or series! I mean the lore, story, and history is incredible! Who wouldn't want to see that happen!?
The most interesting thing I've learned about Protogens is that while they are physically impressive, without their visor they could be taken down by someone coughing nearby.
also that without their visor their faces don’t really have skin. Or a mouth really. Or, like anything more than just some flesh goo, I imagine (all from something Malice did) that it looks sort of like when you leave a band-aid on for too long
When i first found out what they are i actually was agaist furries for some reason but youtube recommended me a video from jting-f and i was like woah fuck theres gamer furries
I'm just here because I like lore. edit: Well... I came here expecting cute fluff for the Internet's resident lords of cute fluff, and I instead discover a really good sci-fi story waiting to happen, about lost colonies committing atrocities to survive in the long and lonely darkness of space.
if you guys dont mind, i would like to imagine some halo/titanfall alike protogen video game. i put titanfall because 1) war in space, human vs human 2) respawn busy on apex 3) i want ultra speed :(
This video has totally helped me understand protogens I only learned from my own research on google but this helped fully understand them. Thank you for making this video I'll send it to anyone that is having hard time understanding what a protogen is. Ty for the content and and I'll shout out to you helpers that they did good job also.
I just wished to say wonderful video. It warms my heart to see some more ZOR content. As well as bring more reach to the species. When Trejar brought this to me and the rest of the admins to look over, I was very excited for this and also happy you consulted us and Koinu before making. I wish the video does well.
This still leaves me with so many questions, like how long is the lifespan of a protogen in an ideal environment? If the limbs are replaceable, how do you keep the limbs biological components alive while detached? If the limbs are just held on by a magnet, does that mean that a strong enough electromagnetic field will just cause the protogen's limbs to just pop off?
This gives me so much ideas for my renegade covert Protogen ... but i must know: are Weapon-arms (like in my case arms with gauntlet-like hands with claws and internal low energy shotguns) possible? Since it was stated that arms are chengeable but not with highly specialised ones exist.
@@trejartheprimagen5530 thanks a lot now i can build her the way i imagined her. Also the gauntlets are made of a light weighted alloy which is the reason while, yes those shotguns and claws can kill, no the can't be used against highly protected/armored/shielded targets that efficently.
I recently discovered the lore of those magnificent fictional creatures, and both liking the fandom and being a sucker for sci-fi stuff and biological-technological connections, I easily fell in love with the concept of protogens. To the point that my head started to think about a story. I have a couple of characters in mind, but I have to come up with something consistent plotwise yet. So I started questioning myself. Being them both badass looking and both artificially-created life, and able to travel from planet to planet, I'd like to show a lot of stuff. But. Since it's not something I originally created, I'm struggling with some points. For example, Primagens are a closed species and I by no means intend to violate their rules, so I suppose creating those characters for the sole story purpose is out of debate. And I'm completely fine with that. It would be a lot easier for me to create an alternative version of them with no conceptual differences but with slight modifications, such as "creators" being either only referenced by this name by the creatures or substituted with other entities that are not owned by a specific person and therefore are not a closed species. I also wanted to include other life forms in this little project such as humans for example, which they make contact with. Nothing else will be changed, as the original lore is absolutely interesting to me. It really does sound like I'm stealing something. So I'm sorry. And I probably have to ask the direct creator of the species so I can be 100% sure, idk. What do you think? Thanks. (anyway it's one of my personal projects which is gonna be almost certainly private and not published anywhere, and even if would, it will not lead to any kind of profit of course, it's just a passionate fan work)
My buddy is a game dev and he watched this with me and said he wanted to make a game that'd be essentially Protogens + Scrap Mechanic and call it Protomechanic. I got excited for a sec, then he said he didn't have the time or money for it and pry wouldn't make much of a profit but it was fun to think about. Boy if i wasn't broke i'd pay to have a game like that made, XD
Protogen lore: you're a slave made by primagenitors and you're not even fully robot Me: nah I'm a fluffy robot made by black mesa and I'm gonna play team fortress 2
One this I love of this fandom is the music people put over their videos. That intro was amazing, and now every time I listen to that song, I’ll think of this masterpiece.
The one thing that annoyed me was the nanite manipulation being a rare trait only, since my proto's whole thing was that she could manipulate her nanites out of her body to interact with machinery and form weapons and shit. I think I have a good workaround for it that might even let her "become" a rare in the future, but I'm still ticked that I had to do that in the first place.
What if you had your Protogen be able to invent nanites that she can manipulate, like the robots from Big Hero Six, I feel a Protogen could do that, but the story is up to you , so keep you determination, and keep thinking. I'm also writing about my Protogen, he can use his blood as weapons, platforms, or simple limbs.
This lore is very interesting, I just recently discovered Protogens and actually got interested in possibly writing my own short story/fanfiction thing with different lore. Cool vid!
Everyone is like “I’m a fighter pilot, I’m a sniper” then there is me with My character Light Utility Y5535 or ULY5535 or Ulysses (Uly to his friends) who is just a miner missing allot of his original pieces who usualy is alone with his pet lizard on a mining platform out in an asteroid belt. I would like to imagine he has full self awareness but he likes his job
one of mine wanted to be a great explorer, but he was put into janitorial staff. not even on the cool spaceships either, just an office janitor. you bet he is like the squidward of protogens
18:00 this is intriguing but also terrifying in a way. My headcanon puts this as some sort of old combat protocol activated during desperate measures when war was still raging on. Often activated when there was no sign of backup, rescue, or avenues of escape. The effects of this protocol takes a toll on the proto to the point where death is almost certain. If they do manage to survive, something is likely left irreparably damaged. Now the old protocol is just remade into a malware virus/hack
I love how much timing-appropriate artwork you put into this video. This is a very useful explainer beyond the text provided/linked to. Thank you for taking the time to put this together...
I know 7 songs that sound like they were made by Protogens: "The end is near - Gunnar Olsen" "Don't change a thing - Silent Partner" "Dub Zap - Gunnar Olsen" "Dark Step - Silent Partner" "The Darkness - MK2" "Destructoid - MK2" "Hey Now - MK2"
I know something that is more awesome than it Counter strike 1.6 knife duel with linkin park, using halo skins as counter terrorist and terrorist protogens
I think one of my online Furry friends has slowly converted me into a Furry or has gotten me really fascinated with Furry culture. I am not upset about it all. I've heard a lot of bad stories about Furries. But much like any other fandom, there are good people and bad people.
This got me into being a protogen and the furry community, now a few months later not knowing who made this, I'm subbed to you and now know that you made the thing that got me into this. Thanks, and I don't mean that in a mean way.
I just became an illegal Primagen in the furry fandom after seeing how awesome of a species they are. I still like Protogens though. They're nice. Note: Primagens are closed species so that's why I'm an illegal one (didn't pay for it)
I am extremely happy to have been able to help Raeal finish this video and ensure it had all the proper information. Me and the other Admin staff that work with Koinu to help keep the community based on her amazing creations going strong, the Protogen and the Primagen are happy to help anyone ensure everything is going good with the many Protogen out there. A lot of info can be found following the links posted by Raeal the Protogen, and I among others are happy to help bring everyones inner Protogen to life.
I have a “Fuzzy Feeling” I only yesterday came to terms with myself being… a furry… I was against being a furry a while ago, then I met @Sky_1300 he’s a great friend (he’s also a furry). After a year or so of talking to him as a friend, trying new things with him, and just generally having a good time with him.., I started noticing odd feelings with myself, I lied to myself saying it was just knowing one of his biggest secrets (I ain’t telling) I told someone but that didn’t help at all… so I told that same person about my fuzzy feeling, luckily they were with me, I am still coming to terms with myself but I’m getting more used to being a furry, This was not a new thing… When I was younger I had a fantasy, to be able to turn into a purple-pink cybernetic wolf, (basically a protogen) I didn’t know what a protogen was until recently, when I meant sky… He’s helping me through this right now…

when i hear subnautica literally in the first minute, i can already tell this is going to be an epic video, just be prepared for an edit i make when i finish watching it Edit: This video almost had a documentary-esque appearance, with the way Raeal presented it. The music had that futuristic aesthetic adding to the overall atmosphere of the video and making it more engaging. and i believe 20 minutes is a really good time frame as it isn't too long or too short, all the information was cleverly condensed into that 20 minutes, making for a really entertaining experience. I feel like protogens are legitimately more than just 'a furry species', with the expanded lore information, Zenith's Outer Reach should probably be considered to that of many popular franchises such as Star Wars and Star Trek. And c'mon, Protogens are just cool in general, just imagine being able to flip off someone you don't like with just your nanite visor face and then detaching your arm and yeeting it at them for extra sarcasm.
God I've only heard it 6 times but hearing that "Welcome Aboard Captain, All Systems Online", that voice is deeper that Corpse's.Its the best thing ever
"The limbs of the protogen are interchangeable and vary depending on the environment that that protogen will inhabit for their service. These can range from aqua-tech tails and webbed hands, paws, and ears for easier swimming in aquatic regions/areas, to long ears and thin tails for head dispersal and balance during sprinting in hot/heated environments..." what is this, a documentary?
I just want to say that this vid helped out a lot when I was making my Fursona Aries. He's not a full-on Protogen but a wolf, however thanks to your info I made it so he has a few Protogen augmentations that he got accurate to the lore. So thank you so much for this vid. and I hope you have a great day
I’d like to think “illegal” protogens are just protos who are too conscious for the progenitors taste (or whatever they’re called). I certainly know I don’t follow their laws.
And the lore of the protogen is very dark but why I thank the protogen is so cool it’s the lore and I like The Way the protogen looks and I know a lot more about the protogen now thank you for this informational video about the protogen’s.

The most interesting thing I've learned about Protogens is that while they are physically impressive, without their visor they could be taken down by someone coughing nearby.
Yes, but the visor is not so fragile. With a small-caliber weapon, it will be difficult to kill an ordinary protogen.
also that without their visor their faces don’t really have skin. Or a mouth really. Or, like anything more than just some flesh goo, I imagine (all from something Malice did) that it looks sort of like when you leave a band-aid on for too long

Multiple leviathan class lifeforms in your area are you sure you want to continue
One this I love of this fandom is the music people put over their videos. That intro was amazing, and now every time I listen to that song, I’ll think of this masterpiece.
they went from a hyperintelligent alien lifeform to your everyday search engine
The one thing that annoyed me was the nanite manipulation being a rare trait only, since my proto's whole thing was that she could manipulate her nanites out of her body to interact with machinery and form weapons and shit. I think I have a good workaround for it that might even let her "become" a rare in the future, but I'm still ticked that I had to do that in the first place.
What if you had your Protogen be able to invent nanites that she can manipulate, like the robots from Big Hero Six, I feel a Protogen could do that, but the story is up to you , so keep you determination, and keep thinking. I'm also writing about my Protogen, he can use his blood as weapons, platforms, or simple limbs.
I know it's to keep the species in set guides because of "special models" but like- I don't know why that is one of them, it's seems useful
You don’t have to submit to paywalls
Finally, an explanation for Avalisergals.
In all seriousness though, this lore is a lot more fleshed out than I originally thought. I can dig it.
I want a protogen movie, not just some furry movie but a sci-fi movie that is only connected to furries from the existence of protogens
Definitely
Agree
It would be awesome if in the future, you could buy a protogen visor that actually turns you into a protogen.
I’ll spend all the money
Changed be like:
Something is wrong with you lol
yeah get some help, *you shouldnt be on this platform buddy.*
Yep
This lore is very interesting, I just recently discovered Protogens and actually got interested in possibly writing my own short story/fanfiction thing with different lore. Cool vid!
Everyone is like “I’m a fighter pilot, I’m a sniper” then there is me with My character Light Utility Y5535 or ULY5535 or Ulysses (Uly to his friends) who is just a miner missing allot of his original pieces who usualy is alone with his pet lizard on a mining platform out in an asteroid belt. I would like to imagine he has full self awareness but he likes his job
mine is a galaxy explorer that is a bad pilot
one of mine wanted to be a great explorer, but he was put into janitorial staff. not even on the cool spaceships either, just an office janitor.
you bet he is like the squidward of protogens
Jump off the mine jump off the mine.
Im getting Wall-E vibes from that XD

Omg I love that😭😭
Protogens can be summed up in two words “robo-furries”
18:00 this is intriguing but also terrifying in a way. My headcanon puts this as some sort of old combat protocol activated during desperate measures when war was still raging on. Often activated when there was no sign of backup, rescue, or avenues of escape. The effects of this protocol takes a toll on the proto to the point where death is almost certain. If they do manage to survive, something is likely left irreparably damaged. Now the old protocol is just remade into a malware virus/hack
I love how much timing-appropriate artwork you put into this video. This is a very useful explainer beyond the text provided/linked to. Thank you for taking the time to put this together...
Fr I would be much more lost without the pictures because he chose them really well
For those who don’t know, the face plating acts as a semi permeable membrane, much like our own skin. It’s comprised entirely up of Nanomachines

And doing so safely
(I’m sorry cursed nerd mode way on XD)
I’m not a furry, and only found this video because my friend who is one won’t stop asking me to watch this, but this lore is really good.
I know 7 songs that sound like they were made by Protogens:
"The end is near - Gunnar Olsen"
"Don't change a thing - Silent Partner"
"Dub Zap - Gunnar Olsen"
"Dark Step - Silent Partner"
"The Darkness - MK2"
"Destructoid - MK2"
"Hey Now - MK2"
Heres a fifth: Trinity - Extra Terra & Rogue VHS
@@zynet_eseled It sounds like an electronic version of doom eternal music
@@zynet_eseled Also Try "Stellardrone - Eternity", "Sascha Funke - Mango", "Navikmusic - Mutatia", and "AuroraTheory - Blackhole"
Don't Change a Thing is my favorite one
@@stratosphere342 also, Kloud - HUMANS (F.O.O.L Remix)
This is the most amount of lore I've seen around one species
This has been very helpful I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of years thanks to you I figured it out and a couple of friends. Thank you
love or hate the furry community, you cant deny that protogens are awesome
Yes
I know something that is more awesome than it

I think one of my online Furry friends has slowly converted me into a Furry or has gotten me really fascinated with Furry culture. I am not upset about it all. I've heard a lot of bad stories about Furries. But much like any other fandom, there are good people and bad people.
ur friend is probably trying to assimilate you to the furry community
@@excelvalentino6972 I can’t tell if that’s an insult or just a statement.
@@adventurekitty1016 statement
It's true they pull you in unknowingly and by the time you realize it it will be too late
This got me into being a protogen and the furry community, now a few months later not knowing who made this, I'm subbed to you and now know that you made the thing that got me into this. Thanks, and I don't mean that in a mean way.
I just became an illegal Primagen in the furry fandom after seeing how awesome of a species they are. I still like Protogens though. They're nice.
Note: Primagens are closed species so that's why I'm an illegal one (didn't pay for it)
Protogens in lore: *robust, hardy slave species capable of surviving extreme environments*
Protogens in practice: "beep beep boop" "toaster" "RAM!"
Nice video on the Protogens! I can't believe they have such deep lore!
The song at the beginning is a fuckin bop, yes, but this is so fucking well done! Nice one Raeal!
what is the name of the song i wanna know its so good ToT
I am extremely happy to have been able to help Raeal finish this video and ensure it had all the proper information. Me and the other Admin staff that work with Koinu to help keep the community based on her amazing creations going strong, the Protogen and the Primagen are happy to help anyone ensure everything is going good with the many Protogen out there. A lot of info can be found following the links posted by Raeal the Protogen, and I among others are happy to help bring everyones inner Protogen to life.
Defo gonna be making a lot of protogen and primagen characters.
I have a “Fuzzy Feeling” I only yesterday came to terms with myself being… a furry… I was against being a furry a while ago, then I met @Sky_1300 he’s a great friend (he’s also a furry). After a year or so of talking to him as a friend, trying new things with him, and just generally having a good time with him.., I started noticing odd feelings with myself, I lied to myself saying it was just knowing one of his biggest secrets (I ain’t telling) I told someone but that didn’t help at all… so I told that same person about my fuzzy feeling, luckily they were with me, I am still coming to terms with myself but I’m getting more used to being a furry, This was not a new thing… When I was younger I had a fantasy, to be able to turn into a purple-pink cybernetic wolf, (basically a protogen) I didn’t know what a protogen was until recently, when I meant sky… He’s helping me through this right now…
Bodily modification? Making them suit an environment? Where have I last heard this..
Welcome. Welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17. It's safer here.
Thank you, this information will help a metric crap ton in my efforts. Most of the community will find out what I mean soon enough
Talking about your own species is cool and very interesting
when i hear subnautica literally in the first minute, i can already tell this is going to be an epic video, just be prepared for an edit i make when i finish watching it
Edit: This video almost had a documentary-esque appearance, with the way Raeal presented it. The music had that futuristic aesthetic adding to the overall atmosphere of the video and making it more engaging. and i believe 20 minutes is a really good time frame as it isn't too long or too short, all the information was cleverly condensed into that 20 minutes, making for a really entertaining experience. I feel like protogens are legitimately more than just 'a furry species', with the expanded lore information, Zenith's Outer Reach should probably be considered to that of many popular franchises such as Star Wars and Star Trek. And c'mon, Protogens are just cool in general, just imagine being able to flip off someone you don't like with just your nanite visor face and then detaching your arm and yeeting it at them for extra sarcasm.
God I've only heard it 6 times but hearing that "Welcome Aboard Captain, All Systems Online", that voice is deeper that Corpse's.Its the best thing ever
"The limbs of the protogen are interchangeable and vary depending on the environment that that protogen will inhabit for their service. These can range from aqua-tech tails and webbed hands, paws, and ears for easier swimming in aquatic regions/areas, to long ears and thin tails for head dispersal and balance during sprinting in hot/heated environments..."
what is this, a documentary?
*Yes.*
I just want to say that this vid helped out a lot when I was making my Fursona Aries. He's not a full-on Protogen but a wolf, however thanks to your info I made it so he has a few Protogen augmentations that he got accurate to the lore. So thank you so much for this vid. and I hope you have a great day
I’d like to think “illegal” protogens are just protos who are too conscious for the progenitors taste (or whatever they’re called). I certainly know I don’t follow their laws.
But then I'm an illegal Primagen. So what would I be then?

do it anyway
when I heard that I was like “is my car a protogen?”
Nah I'm just gonna make all the Protogens/Primagens I want.
This inspired me to make my first protogen and fursona.
Not a video I thought I'd ever have to watch, learned a lot and enjoyed it, informative and understandable, never thought I needed this, but I did.
And the lore of the protogen is very dark but why I thank the protogen is so cool it’s the lore and I like The Way the protogen looks and I know a lot more about the protogen now thank you for this informational video about the protogen’s.
Thousands of years, wars, primagenerator factions, and rebellion; all leading up to this goofball in the end credits, lol
Am I hallucinating or does the mask on the proto in the thumbnail look like the Spectres from the first Titanfall game?
Just what I was thinking
Kinda does look like them
Holy s*** you're right
It's based off that yeah! The artwork was done by ZillionRoss and he stated that's what it was based on
@@RaealTheProtogen the proto himself has responded
I want a protogen game
me too
Every so often I come back to this video just so I can watch it again, tbh probably my favorite video on all of TH-cam.
This is why I like protogens this is sick! Also I like the "all systems online" Line from subnautica, but this is great! You deserve way more subs
Wow…this is so cool! I love it, My fursona is actually a rare protogen! So watching this us really fun for me and everyone else!
I will never look at protogens the same again
good
Beep boop
Now i can Prove that I’m not a toaster, but rather a Creature designed for War.
You can be both. Maybe they put a toaster in you for when they need it.
No you are still a toaster. Wait my fursona is a protogen, so am i a toaster?
WHAT HAVE I DONE
A toaster designed for war, mind you.
Ye but your weakness is still a bath
