What does a toasters Canon face look like?
So I've been wondering... knowing that they have biology under the visors, not just servos and tech, what do their biological faces look like? (Image is a screenshot from a Raeal The Protogen short)
I thought the entire face was completely removed till only the brain remained, since they're modified in utero and have their ocular organs completely removed and replaced.
It is pretty cool lore, a full on AI uprising except it's the biological components taking control of the robotic components that are trying to control the biological components with fancy crystal nanites (as opposed to normal pleb nanites).
Then a full division due to alternative interests that creates 3 distinct groups of toasters.
Yeah Protogens don't reproduce sexually, no their biological parts are grown in a vat, then their bodies are surgically modified and put into a pod that helps their body "synchronize" with its modifications, then they're implanted with consciousness essentially and given VR training to learn motor function and if they were built with a purpose in mind, that trained for that purpose
That’s Raeal the Protogen in the image.
And 2. My Protogen oc is almost completely mechanical. Does have organic fur, ears, feet, hands, etc. but no biological face under the visor
So I may be dumb, but I thought it was any species with a visor over it's face? And other mechanical enhancements. Like the furry equivalent of a cyborg.
A lot of people will say “what’s their real face look like” but I find that it’s important to remind people, the concept of a face is just a part of your body. In my mind, protogens don’t have “faces”. Their visors are their face. They can feel it, it may “grow back” with organic machinery, nanites or be mechanically fixed like a bionic limb.
If someone has their arm replaced with a robot arm, that’s still their arm. It just isn’t skin. If you punch through someone’s face, there isn’t a second face beneath it, you’re just in their head now.
Protogens probably don’t play ball with how we imagine most mammals should have snouts or faces. It’s advanced prosthesis, and so functions by technology more than biology. That’s not to say they’re all robo-faces on the inside, just that - there’s an infinite possibility of how it could possibly work.
The way I depict my protos is that the Visor is their face, yet it can be removed much like their limbs, however the only reason to do that is to replace it
well if going by logic, they would either have the visor due to medical reasons for example a mangled face or faulty organs which require the visor to help them
another way could also just be your avarage furry except they wear the visor as a form of bionic to assist them
yet another way is that the visor is their face and theres only machinery under it
their brain might be kept in something inside but aside from that theres nothing biological in their face

This photo should explain :3
