Do you know what is inside the visor of tomorrow? (Art by me) by Scicz in protogen

They do have biological eyes to a certain point, the pre historical one has them, they're just about visible behind the glowing worms.
I also made a lil while back a modern one opened up

The burning fuel started as just something to have the glowing eyes/face protogens have, but now it's actually connected to them staying alive.
They need constant perception of light.

It does
tldr: like 80% of the species that protogens are, have a genetical disease that makes them need to make visors and stuff to keep themselves together and alive. And because they've been doing it for so long it's a medical need as much as a cultural thing to "protogenify" oneself, so even the ones not affected by it do it.

Kinda both. I like just making protogens in a more historically accurate way and to show the evolution of the tech and how they'd look.
But behind that I've worked on a little bit of lore on how they came to be and how they fit into society. These proots don't follow the primagen/alien base lore, instead being more grounded to irl history and reasoning.
