#Operator OC

[eve-be-sleep-deprived]

Oh damn, I don't know if there's any good way to compress the sheer amount of Lore I got into something readable. I've got a whole cast of Tenno/Drifters that show up at various different points in time across this mess of a saga though.

Operators:

Oppy/Qinoha: she has no Drifter counterpart, having been created before TNW and the Drifter concept was released. She got infected with a special strain of the Infestation and basically ruined everything then married a Sapient Valkyr, then shacked up with the Worm Queen, then had her body stolen by Wally. Currently exists as a Void Construct in the year 1998.

Enna Tarani: Also doesn't have a Drifter, was plucked from an alternate WF timeline mid Zariman incident alongside several others. Ripped that Alternate Zariman through the dimensional fabric and waged war with it. Is happily married to a Grineer.

Leona (Entrati): Only an Entrati through adoption. A native of Cetus who was inhabited by Wally for a span of time, imparting Tenno-like powers. Became a Terrorist (against the recently reemerged Orokin Empire (Damn those alternative timelines) then, briefly, an Empress. Married a Sentient Mimic. She also inexplicably has a Drifter counterpart.

Adara Avantus: Granddaughter of the Executor Avantus, 'daughter' of Corphel and Irilia. Lightly killed by her younger sister during the Zariman incident and spent the next untold millennia aboard until she was lightly killed again by her sister in a moment of bad luck. Later picked up by the Grineer and handed over to those capable of taking care of her. Is related by blood to several Warframe and can turn into a Void Angel if she gets too angry. She is her own Drifter.

Joy: We do not talk about Joy...

Prinia: One of the few Operators that managed to get in good with the Orokin during the Old War, gaining the status of Archimedean against all odds. Almost managed to off Ballas. Is laboring to cure the Voidrot, an unnatural blight that is slowly converting Tenno and their Warframe into Void Angels. Adopted a very smol Gyre as her daughter, has kissed Ordis. Also has a Drifter counterpart.

Drifters:

Leona'vaya: Daughter of Orokin nobility. Never entered Duviri because she was created before Duviri was released. Managed to break into the upper regions of the Void after several millennia aboard the Zariman, getting a good dose of those plot ordained Void powers. Went a little crazy after that, rode on an Orowyrm's head, fought Narmer, then was belatedly sucked into Duviri and had her being forcefully merged with Operator Leona's. She escaped that sticky situation and is now Cressa Tal's partner.

Drifter Prinia: The Drifter that is experiencing 1999 in my HC. Ripped from Duviri and into the future year 1997, Albrecht's plans being disrupted and accelerated by Qinoha's interference, bringing the Protoframes into being herself. Is currently under the care of Major Rusalka, laboring on behalf of the group that will soon become Scaldra. Is a very scared, but very wholesome bean.

If these seem a bit disjointed, it's cuz they really are, I'm trying to condense 2 Million words worth of lore and plot into little digestible blurbs. If you wanna read the entire unabridged mess, Here's a link to the fic on Ao3. It's currently the longest WF fanfic on the site :3

Tell me your Drifters’ and Operators’ names! Are they related? Completely different? GIVE ME YOUR LORE. DUMP IT.

[adylote]

Ok, now the sketch with Drifter is a little akward (?) xD BUT FINALLYYYYY, FINALLY I LIKE HOW THE SKETCH TURNED OUT

Also, I love how Umbra's hand shows the closeness he feels with each one, being the Operator/Dylan his favorite girl of course <3

[you-shiny-thing]

Sometimes the melancholy overtakes you, and you gotta take a moment to sulk with your Warframe. Leveret wants to overcome their older sibling Ray's shadow, but can't help but wonder what happened to them wen they disappeared. And Night yearns to find her other half, the Day form of Equinox, the one Ray used ever since Equinox broke down after the siblings' fight all those years ago.

i never properly introduced these mooks to the world, despite always wanting to. look at my white haired men (and yvit too, hi yvit) the main characters of my funny little fan-story called Tungsten Latticework. they have the protagonist curse of Never Being Allowed To Have A Nice Time Ever [read about them under the cut vvv]

being technically the same person, they share a rough upbringing. coming from a reasonably well-respected, but brutally harsh household, they never knew much kindness in life, and turned inward to focus on their studies - the only way they figured they might get the appreciation they desperately lacked. until the zariman incident, that is... they're both extremely intelligent (especially in the field of engineering), and extremely volatile people. bitter and resentful to the core, everything about them is sharp and unfriendly - inward and outward

to the left is 54 (fifty-four), or fif for short. he takes the role of the drifter, duviri's great and terrible outlaw. an eternity of waking up only to die left quite the mark on his psyche, coating his tongue in venom and sparking embers between his teeth. he'd give anything to get out of duviri once and for all, but he's halted by the existence of his counterpart in the origin system: two of the same person can't live in the same plane of existence. no matter how hard he tries, he's stuck in a prison of his own making. it drives him mad he makes quick friends (""friends"") with lodun. you know, the guy who killed him a kjhillion times. it works out as well as one might expect; two stubborn, bullish hotheads with a penchant for violence... but like knows like. "there's one guy in this kingdom who understands me and i fucking hate him". they somehow sort of get along. fif usually does whatever oddjob lodun tasks him with, purely to feel like he's doing something useful with his forever-time. to feel like he belongs

to the right is xenon. he takes the role of the operator, the fierce and fearless tenno. he hates that title. he hates all of it, he hates being a killer. so, after The Sacrifice, he too leaves the tenno faction. he opts to work with the corpus, to invent technologies to hinder his kinsmen. he works under alad v (who else would be insane enough to get a tenno on board), and despite taking a while to adjust, he flourishes in this environment. he finds immense success with his inventions and prototypes. it's killing him. he's never felt more unhappy in his life, but... this is what he wanted, right? he tries to choke the feeling down with praise from his accomplishments, and it almost doesn't fail he's still haunted by his past. not only that, but entities beyond his understanding seek to make his waking and sleeping hours just a little bit worse. the man in the wall torments him - mocks him - in the form of a mangled corpse-twin. from a different angle, a metaphysical copy of him is threatening to take the miserable little life he'd spent so long carving out for himself. xenon is terrified every single day of his life. dude can't catch a break

tucked away beside xenon is his cephalon, yvit. he is a sweetheart. originally an orange octahedron, xenon granted him a humanoid body as part of an experiment. he definitely has very specific feelings about it, but he manages to push them down deep inside. he would never reject a gift from his operator yvit certainly has a lot on his mind, but he's a competent and kind companion to xenon (who takes this love for granted like crazy. if only he allowed himself to be loved...). he particularly enjoys history and record-keeping, being able to recite many codices by heart (though he is a machine, so it's sort of cheating). likes keeping his appearance tidy, especially with his new body

one of my older operator ocs, ramovk

and look at how fucked up he is

[rain-harmonia]

Since I’m getting back into the game now, here’s a piece of one of my Operator OCs that I commissioned from Twitter user @/Minomotu a little while back!

Her name is Kira. She primarily pilots a Baruuk now, and occasionally her Ivara Prime. She’s a sweetheart who consistently tries to choose kindness and gentleness in a war-torn universe. The longer she’s been awake, the further she’s drifted from other Tenno, and these days she works almost exclusively with the Steel Meridian.

OUR Ephemera!

A piece I made for my partner's birthday!

Our Tenno sitting together, enjoying each other's company and soaking in the quiet atmosphere of the Vallis caves <3
