Hey btw if your ever in need of ranting about a blorbo/oc, this is an ask that tells your to do so. What is the most interesting thing about them? Do they have any symbolism to them and if so what is it about? Favorite ideal situation to put them in? Any romance ideas?

Anon, I want to start off by apologizing for taking EXACTLY A YEAR to reply to this! Happy One Year Anniversary! 💀😭 Obviously, I’ve been thinking about this a lot, trying to decide who I wanted to talk about and trying to put my thoughts into words. And, of course, it took even longer because I wanted to include drawings of the characters… 🤦‍♂️Anyway…

I’ve decided to talk about multiple characters of mine, since they are important for my upcoming comics: Boxman’s mother, father, and sister! I have some New™, Fresh™ information to share about all of them today! Hope you enjoy my ramblings!

MEREDITH (Boxman's Mother)

Most interesting thing: Hmm, well… the things I find most interesting about Meredith are kind of spoilers for my comics, but an interesting thing about her is her special ability! (“Every proper siren has one, darling.” 💅) It’s called Eye of the Storm, and it allows her to summon and control a raging thunderstorm at will. Obviously, this sort of thing takes a lot of energy to maintain, so this ability actually comes with a secondary feature: Meredith can occasionally choose a victim to steal the energy from, and all she has to do to steal said energy is to make direct eye contact with them. The lady’s got a mean glare as it is, but with this power on top of that? Wowza. Watch out.

Symbolism: Given my answer to the previous question, you won’t be surprised to know that I associate Meredith with storms! She is a passionate character with a wild side, and when she truly gets going, she will step aside for no one.

Favorite situation to put them in: Meredith is a complex character with a lot going on, and I don’t want to reduce her to just an antagonist… but MAN, does she make a good antagonist! 😆 I love to put her into situations in which she terrifies/intimidates other characters, and trust me, she will have a lot of chances to do that in the comics!

Romance ideas: Meredith isn’t much for romance. At least not anymore. Heron was her first love, and after her relationship with him went south, her trust in men was destroyed. (To be fair, it was shaky to begin with.) She has, however, made an attempt at another relationship or two for monetary reasons. If that even counts lol

HERON (Boxman's Father)

Most interesting thing: Heron has had a wide variety of experiences across his lifetime, and during that time, he has developed many, many skills. These skills include (but are not limited to): farming, fishing, sailing, cooking, baking, sewing, crochet, whittling, building, juggling, and playing the banjo! Just… don’t ask him to sing, okay?

Symbolism: Heron’s symbolism is… probably pretty obvious, huh? I mean… he’s got an anchor… tattooed… on his back… *ahem* Anyway. The anchor is connected to a lot of Heron’s positive attributes—loyalty and sturdiness being the main ones. But it is also connected to some of his character flaws and the way he views himself. In a way, Heron himself is an anchor, for all the good and bad that entails. ⚓

Favorite situation to put them in: Despite the immense amount of comic outlining and scriptwriting I’ve been doing for Siren Theory, I can say pretty confidently that any scene in which Heron interacts with Professor Venomous is one of my favorites. It’s partly due to the “meet the parents” trope, but the other part of it is that Heron is just an unusual guy who does unusual things, and having a stranger witness that firsthand is hilarious.

Romance ideas: While Heron has had his share of crushes in his youth, he has never been in a serious relationship with anyone but Meredith… and he would like to keep it that way. He still feels like he’s putting the pieces of himself back together after their messy separation.

REBECCA/SIRENA (Boxman's Sister)

Most interesting thing: I think the thing that I enjoy most about Rebecca is the duality in her personality. She is very charismatic and graceful onstage as Sirena, but offstage, when she’s just Rebecca, she can be pretty socially awkward and kind of a klutz.

Symbolism: Some of you may have made the connection already, but Sirena’s real name, Rebecca, is a nod to Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe and the spouse of Ian Jones-Quartey (creator of OK KO). This name was actually a suggestion by my sister (Thanks, girlie!) because she knew Sugar sang the end credit song of OK KO, and that little song was one of my inspirations for creating Sirena in the first place. Since then, the name has really proven itself to be a perfect fit for my little superstar siren! The meaning of the name Rebecca is “to tie/bind,” and Rebecca really is the character that ties her family—and the narrative of a lot of the comics—together!

Favorite situation to put them in: My favorite moments for Rebecca are the ones in which she is emotionally vulnerable. It isn’t always easy for her, but there are some things that will happen in the comics that will force her to wear her heart on her sleeve. I’m excited for that!

Romance ideas: Honestly, I’ve come up with so many ideas for OK KO that I won’t have space for all of them in the narrative, even though I’m planning to create, like, 19 comics! 😂 One of those things that won’t get a lot of time in the spotlight is Rebecca’s developing romance with a certain someone. That being said, it wouldn’t be a big spoiler for me to say… Plazecca! 🎵

Thank you so much for asking, Anon! Truly, you have enriched my enclosure. 💖

The one that almost always plays for me is:

"It can be tough as a kid. All sorts of people have it over you. People will kill you inside, kill you and forget your name. You grow up. They grow old. You remember. They don't. They just keep doing what they've always done. Only to someone else. Then, one day, they call you friend. And you wait. And you wait. You wait 'til they can't trust you any more than they do. And then you ask them if they enjoyed their dinner. And, looking into their panicked eyes as they gasp their last, you tell them your name. And you nod. 'Yeah', your eyes say to theirs. 'That was me'. And then you leave. And the System is a better place. Be smart, Dreamers."

Absolute unit of a line. The patient revenge concept is very interesting! It makes me wonder if this is something Nora actually went through. Or maybe it's a story from one of her callers?

The vibe of this line also kind of reminds me of my operator, although I don't think Cassian would have the energy to pull off this kind of long con. He definitely seems like the kind of guy to hold grudges, though.

Anyone else got a government designated Nora Night voice line that greets you, like, every time you load back into the orbiter? Mine is:

"Somethin's out there, Dreamers. Nora can feel it. Pullin' at her waters like the moon pulls the tides. Somethin' big, an' somethin' old. It knows us. What will it say, I wonder, the day it steps up to our door and knocks?"

Honestly the repetition of this particular line is really starting to feel foreboding. What, is Wally looming on my doorstep? Does he want to eat my beautiful Tenno son? I don't know...but I feel attacked.

You’d think I would have given this concept more thought, but I actually haven’t really until now. 😂

My operator, Cassian, has Somatics Rev-16.

IIRC, I chose this option because I liked that A) it didn't obscure the face too much, and B) the scarring almost seemed to follow the carotid arteries, as if the Void exposure had affected the bloodstream.

That being said, it wouldn't be out of the question for Cassian to have scarring on other parts of his body, typically following main arteries. (I guess they would kind of resemble Lichtenburg Figures, similar to the markings/scars often experienced by lighting strike victims.) His chest, around the heart, would probably also be a major place of scarring - if not the worst place of scarring.

I guess this would mean that the Void somehow affected Cassian's heart, which is interesting to think about. Maybe that's why he's so tired all the time lmao

Hi, it’s me again… here to talk about more inconsequential Warframe observations! So I was looking at the Operator Somatics options, and I noticed something a little unusual about a couple of them. I figured I might as well make a post about it because I found it interesting (and maybe I kind of hope DE will address it lol). Somatics Asa-23 and Tt-11 have what I can only describe as “ghost” insets, meaning that you can see a slightly lightened area where the metal component in the middle of the forehead would be in other somatic designs. This effect is best seen in motion, so I made gifs.

Modeling this season’s Warframe curiosity is my operator Jasper, whose hair has been removed for easy viewing. (His somatics are normally Asa-03. References for him—hopefully—coming soon.) I can’t tell for sure if this is intentional or not. It’s possible they just erased the somatics texture layer and forgot to change the skin texture layer beneath that. But it’s also possible that they decided to keep this “ghost” inset there, as if to say “this operator used to have that inset piece but it has been removed and has left a light scar/discoloration in its place.”

(Alternate skin tone used in case it makes it easier to see.) The same two somatic options also have what seem to be damaged/partially erased metal insets at the operator’s temples. You can see half of the metal still protruding from the face normally while the other part falls flush against the skin, as if the metal is disappearing or digging in. I’ll be honest, it seems more likely that these things are just design errors. This is Warframe, after all. But no matter the reason for the existence of these details, I think it still offers fans an interesting opportunity to come up with some personal operator lore! So I’m curious. To people who have chosen these somatics: Did you notice these details? And if you did, how did you interpret them? And a question for everyone: how do you imagine your operator’s somatics? Do they look exactly like the somatic option you have chosen in-game, or do you imagine them a little bit different? Does your operator have any more or less somatic scarring than the game shows? I would love to know more about other people’s operators! Seriously, please info-dump on me! And I would love to hear any thoughts you have in general!
