ASF Protogen
Visibly similar to the Protogen that hail from Ranedus.
When engaging hostility, to improve visor resilience, and to lower their visual profile, they tend to switch their visor displays off. This practice has given rise to the term "Bright-faced", which denotes non-forceful pacifist 'gen that refrain from turning their visors off because they never expect that they'd have to actually fight.
Hit Points: 4
Size and Type: Protogen are Medium humanoids with the reptilian and cybernetic subtype.
Upgrade Slot: Protogen have a single armor upgrade slot in their bodies. Regardless of whether they are wearing physical armor, they can use this slot to install any one armor upgrade that could be installed into light armor.
Exceptional Vision: Protogen have low-light vision and darkvision. As a result, they can see in dim light as if it were normal light, and they can see with no light source at all to a range of 60 feet in monochrome(usually tied to their visor light coloration). See low-light vision and darkvision on pages 264 and 263.
Visor-Dependent: While their visor remains intact and integrated, a protogen benefits from an integrated comm unit and datajack. Because of the absolute necessity of the visor for a protogen's survival, though, the brain, ears, eyes, and throat systems are difficult, if not impossible to access and augment.
Natural Weapons: Protogen are always considered armed. They can deal 1d3 lethal damage with unarmed strikes and the attack doesn't count as archaic.
Integrated Protection: Protogen have built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor. You gain a +1 bonus to both Kinetic and Energy AC. You can wear nearly any armor, though you do not gain the innate bonus in addition to the armor's bonuses, unless you are proficient with the armor. Donning and doffing the armor in an integrated fashion takes about 1 hour, and cannot be removed quickly if donned in this manner. It takes a quarter of this time(15 min) if you have access to a specialized workshop. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way. While alive, this armor cannot be simply removed, and it takes a 1d4 hours to successfully remove, even from a fallen protogen.
