"In-depth information of the Warframe mandate is forbidden to all but the Seven."

Despite this, Albrecht Entrati:

-got a hold of the Helminth virus, which is the specific strain of infestation used to make Warframes.

-made his own Warframe (Qorvex).

-time travelled to 1999 to Warframe-ify people who believed he was saving them from a plague.

Albrecht Entrati does not give a single solitary fuck, I am amazed he somehow avoided the Jade Light.

Tennotober 2024 Day 4: Alchemy

A new kind of rebirth

[ophidian-bite]

warframe oc ask game for valadis!

tenno: apostasy prologue

drifter: the limbo theorem

warframe: awakening

Apostasy Prologue: For Tenno: How did they take the Lotus' abandonment? How did they deal with the void in power that she left? Who did they blame?

Betrayal and Vindication are the two primary feelings Valadis associates with the Lotus in general, and this development was no exception. Outwardly, they celebrated her being gone since they always resented her nagging and her attempts to claim parenthood over them. Let her be Ballas' problem, see if they care, yk? But, even though they decided retroactively that they'd seen this coming the whole time and didn't want her around anyways, they still felt lost and alone. They had initially latched on to the Lotus after being reawakened because she was the only voice around, even if it was a voice telling them what to do it was still better than silence. They had gotten used to her being there, a constant presence even if it wasn't one that they would admit to *liking*. Valadis has never coped very well with major disruptions in their life, especially ones they didn't cause. Which is why they tried to "blame" themself- tell themself that they had driven her away on purpose in an attempt to claim control over the situation, but really at the time they just blamed her and couldn't understand why she had left.

The Limbo Theorem: What is your character passionate about? What skills are they best at?

In another era the Drifter Valadis could have made their life as a professional Komi player and teacher. There was a while where they spent every loop ignoring everything else to play Komi until Thrax's guards found them and hauled them away. Eventually, they got tired of being the only one who could actually learn anything from the games day to day, but not before cementing themself as thoroughly unbeatable. They also had a similar phase with the Shawzin. You pick up a lot of weird little skills when you have near limitless time to practice with. But, as far as practical things go, they're also extremely good at cooking and can make just about anything seem appetizing with the right tools/enough time.

Awakening: For Warframes: What is their earliest memory?

The first memory of the Lavos that Valadis now uses is, of course, his activation upon first transference while in orbit around Deimos. Nothing special. However, like all warframes, he has access to residual memories held by the Original Lavos at the time the blueprint was created- and on top of that, Javi and the Warden (or the copies of copies of them who have lived on in the metadata) can and have shared, through him, memories of their own lives prior to the transmutation. Perfect vessel that he is, Lavos can't act on any of this knowledge, and the snakes refuse to allow him to share it with his Operator, but he sure does have it.

Been thinking about what Ripley would have been like before the Zariman incident. I think, since she didn't have proper sentience yet, she would have been obedient to a fault, probably.

Since she's partially a machine/computer she most likely was able to do just about anything she'd seen at least once, or so long as there was some sort of information on, and replicate it near perfectly. Which probably would have led to her being outcast even more as others, especially Dax, would see her doing the things that they'd spent their entire life perfecting as though it were nothing to her.

She probably would've been treated like a spectacle by the Orokin. Something to show off to other Orokin or at parties like a cheap party trick, asking her to do more and more outrageous acts trying to find her limit. Her limit, of course, would be any act which would hurt/endanger her masters, but more than likely did not include other Dax or non-Orokin.

Man, they probably used her to get rid of anyone they didn't like, in any number of brutal ways and she just, couldn't exactly say no :(

I imagine by the time the Zariman came into play, she was probably only assigned to it because the Orokin had gotten frustratingly bored of her. Nothing seemed hurt her, she didn't have any reaction to whatever pain they caused, and sending her to die on impossible missions wasn't working so might as well send her to another system. Out of sight out of mind right? And who knows, maybe something there would get her instead.

And then the incident happened. And after that, the tenno and the warframes.

Gosh, they probably thought she'd be the perfect test subject to test transference on. But jokes on them, spending time with feral warframes with actual memories and emotions was probably what led to her being like "oh damn, the Orokin kinda suck don't they?" and speaking out against their treatment of others as well as herself. Which is also what would lead into becoming a jailer instead as punishment until the whole Lavos/Javi incident.

This is getting a bit long now, but damn, it feels nice putting all this together finally. Ty if ya read through all this though.

Ive either just had an epiphany or im an idiot but the reason that lavos’s abilities dont consume energy is probably because he isnt actually using his warframe powers since we know that his alchemist abilities were not granted by the helminth but were taught to him by Javi which would beg the question of what are his actual powers

Archimedeans really can't catch a break huh

Margulis - condemned to death for defending the Tenno, which she saw as her own children. Yonta - killed herself in fear of her life after the failed Void jump (may or may not be sent on a suicide mission knowingly). Silvana - mind merged with the Earth's forests in a last ditch effort to save them (was forced to work on the Warframe project despite her own desires). Suda - volunteered for glassing due to an aggressive illness that would destroy her memories/mental capabilities. Javi - jailed for practicing alchemy, transmuted into snakes.. Perintol - fate unknown but had to do a whole song and dance at the risk of his own life to impress the Executors, also the creator of Sentients so (gestures at everything going wrong in the universe).

...

and now we have Otak, who was glassed for something

Chains of Harrow for Lavos, Patient Zero for Operator Valadis, and Sands of Inaros for Drifter Valadis! :3

- grineerios

Chains of The Harrow- For Warframes: What keeps them loyal to their Tenno? Does their Infested nature ever surface?

Aside from something of an incurable spring in his step whenever he's taken to be worked on by the ship's helminth, Lavos rarely responds without input. The thing about Lavos is that his strain wasn't an organic infection- it was a deliberate transmutation. There was no pretense of evolution or cultivation, it was *designed* for this right from the get go. Consequently, control over the frame rests entirely with the operator. Or at least, control over the main body of it. The trade-off, the equivalent exchange, is that the snakes have minds entirely of their own. While the Lavos that Valadis now uses is merely a copy of the original, Javi and the Warden still live on through the serpents on his arms and it is only with their willing cooperation that they can be made use of.

Patient Zero: How altruistic is your character? Would they go out of their way to help someone, even if they didn't deserve it?

Valadis likes to *say* that they selfishly look out for themself to the exclusion of all else, but often they're just justifying why they're helping people anyways. Like take Solaris United- they claim they're just in it because they think k-drives are sick as fuck and all these corpus checkpoints are in the way of them shredding, but really they already hated everything about Nef Anyo and finding out about brain-shelving absolutely horrified them. However, when it comes to being "deserving" their judgements are very... lets say *vibes* based. They don't tend to think much about things like "consequences" or "implications," so whether or not they're willing to help is a lot more about if they feel like it than if it's "deserved."

Sands of Inaros: How much of their childhood do they remember? Is there an event from their childhood that impacts who they are today?

In contrast to Operator Valadis, who is very much a child that has not and will not ever grow up despite having to mime and flounder their way through an assumed adulthood, Drifter Valadis is an adult who has been forced to wade through a child's world with no connection to a childhood of their own. Obviously, they did *have* a childhood- one that was very similar to the Operator's, up to a point- but they don't remember anything more than brief impressions of it. It wasn't a happy one, and they likely would have repressed a lot of it even if the void hadn't taken it from them, but it does still affect them subconsciously. It's why they share the Operator's deep-seated hate for authority, even if they express it in different ways. But, ultimately I think their perceived lack of a childhood affects them far more than the remnants of it do. Part of why they spent so long mired in the spiral of Duviri is because they couldn't make the connections to understand it, and hell- they didn't even recognize themself in the Operator initially. Even if they now know otherwise through their coexistence with the Operator, to the Drifter's own memories their life started with a hazy dream of a deal on the Zariman and then loop after loop in the islands of Duviri.

Oh, the last two Baro cosmetics are related to frame lore, the archwing skin is related to Grendel:

"This alternative look for any Archwing is modeled on the exo-sac levitators that the glutton Karissh used to support his additional grafted-on stomachs."

"Grendel: Primal. Insatiable. And, as this exhibit will demonstrate, a creature of surprising compassion.

After the fall of the Orokin Empire, a surviving Orokin Executor - a violet-scented brute named Karishh - lorded over Europa's frozen, famine-struck city of Riddha."

Whereas the new Operator mask is related to Lavos:

"No transmuter was more dreaded than Javi. The Crawling Serpent. The Abhorred. The Filth-Speaker.

The Orokin feared him so greatly that they whispered he might, somehow, survive even the Jade Light, just as a severed snake was once believed to grow a new head. So instead he was imprisoned, that his evil might be contained, if not quenched.

His jailer was a brute of a Warframe named Lavos."

That said, the syandana that is part of Nezha's cult is also part of this series, I presume. That was the only item that had a direct reference to a frame though.
