In the far future (180 years), after Proteus' time, interest in Proteus as being a fully converted organic being began to rise with a small cult group. Research in bodily augmentation starts within the cult. They initially call themselves the Awakened, in reference to Proteus being an awakened Autozakretian.

The Awakened make major advances and begin the practice of replacing limbs with enhanced robotic limbs. It is limited to the higher ups or those that have the funds to afford such procedures. The cult rename themselves the “Fourth Ascended”. Their views and practices are often criticised, as it is a reminder to how the zakretians came so close to their extinction, but the cult are non-violent.

Technology for the Fourth Ascended becomes cheaper and more accessible, and so most members of the cult are offered limb replacement if they so desire, for no fee. But there is essentially no turning back. Even so, there are no outbursts or outbreaks, the cult remains peaceful but criticised, and the augmentation extended the lives of their members by an estimated 50 years, and made them more hardy.

They often call themselves the fourth generation of Autozakretians.
The 'digital mask' serves as an optical aid, improving vision, but is popular amongst the cult members, and is often used as a way to recruit new, young members - because it looks cool.


Also the visor was obviously inspired by Proto/Primagens. From this guy here  Malice-Risu I will not claim it as my own idea at all, I think they're cool as heck :u


Also, this guy is up for grabs for $30, send me a note if interested :P
