i love warframe because they’re like “hey there’s this forced labor prison camp run by corrupt capitalists” and you’re like “damn i wanna kill them” and they’re like “do you want to kill them and threaten them?” and i’m like “yes let’s go kill them and threaten them” and the song slaps too

So last night a friend and I were having a very long chat about Warframe and how the lore gaps have so much to be built upon and it went like this:
The Corpus, are fucking terrifying, and let me tell ya why.
The Orokin knew the Corpus were trouble, like right from the beginning. The Orokin, with power so great, with the power to make the system their bitch, knew the Corpus were a fucking threat. But what did the Corpus do, if not die? Well, simple. They got a weakness from the Orokin, and wiped them out, because the Corpus are disgustingly, and scarily cunning. Where they lack in numbers? They make up for in brains. Common Corpus enemies, from lore standpoint, if they began to think like the Corpus big boys, they could overwhelm a Warframe, take it, rip it apart like a wild animal killing its prey, and make a profit off of it. And it’s obvious by of course what Alad had done, especially in his trailor.
Mag was struggling, and there’s of course how he fucked Valkyr right the fuck up
And that’s of course only the beginning of it - There’s also the fact that the warframes of course feel, and by extension, the Tenno feel what their warframe goes through. So picture this: You are finally awakened as a Tenno. You feel like your top shit. You’re young, a child, and you are fueled by pure bloodlust, and you have had nobody teach you that running right into battle is a bad idea, and the Lotus does a poor job of teaching you that. So let’s say you pick the wrong fight. Your Warframe gets captured by a corpus, and its not simple containment where you have time to rip the doors open and book it to extraction, you’re pinned down and they are scheming on what they plan to do to you, and then it’s finally time. The stage is set, the tools are out: They’re going to skin your Warframe alive. You the Tenno, are fighting with rage running through your blood, you clearly aren’t grasping the direness of the situation, and your warframe? Acting on it’s own, and it feels unfiltered panic. Struggling, trying to rip away, though they’re already diving in to your poor frame, and you can’t do anything about it. Energy is dead and gone, weapons are long cast away, and they’re ripping your Frame apart. Your Warframe, is shrieking, and not only that, so are you. To say it “hurts” is an understatement. You, Tenno, are not being torn open alive, but it feels like it, it hurts so much that your shrieking is filling the air alongside your Frames. You survive the horrifying and lengthy dissection, but your Warframe? It’s met it’s end, and you don’t even get to grasp it, because you pass out. Transference to it, gone. Impossible to regain.
now i bet ur wondering “Oh, Shun that’s not-” Well shut u up, Alad had to plan for god knows how long, to Capture not just one, but MANY warframes to build his weird fucked up dog, which has to have a control collar because all those parts damn well hold the memories of what he did and the shit they went through, if it wasn’t for that it would tear him a new asshole and even he was aware. And then there’s the fact that there’s not just the ONE Zanuka, the fucking psychopath
Tenno and Warframe, they strong as fuck, damn well OP as all hell, but they aren’t immortal alright, and of course the Corpus know that much They’ve had all the time in forever to plan on how they’re gonna get what they want, and they’ve done it countless times
They’ve caught plenty of Warframes, and made a hell of a profit off of them, but one could only IMAGINE what they would do to an actual Tenno, regardless of their age. If it was money to be made, they’ll cut up whatever and sell the parts on the spot.
So let’s talk about Nef Anyo right
Nef, is a bitch ass motherfucker. Glad we agree!
While we haven’t seen what Nef is really like, you know, when snapping and blowing the fuck up, we did see him in utter desparation ( The Deadlock Protocol ) when he was basically begging the Tenno to haul ass and help him (and of course we do because Tenno are dumb kids piloting deathmachines)
And sure, his begging is one thing, but one could only imagine him snapping in rage. A fight where you engage Nef, and it’s just a big session of “Holy shit what have I gotten myself into?!” And not because it’s annoying. But because he’s constantly screaming all the horrible things he’s going to do to that precious little warframe of yours, and on your last revive, if you die, he grabs your Warframe, slams it against the wall/or floor, and he tears into it to hear it scream. And as it’s barely holding on, he looks it in the eyes, leaning close, and in his voice, between clenched teeth, all you hear is “ You’re next, Tenno. “
So basically, being a Tenno? Yeah it fucking SUCKS.
So that’s when I thought of this:
Tumblr media
And that’s where this lovely lady comes in.
Drastaeia. Drastaeia, is the Rogue Tenno, who has long abandoned the Lotus after the Corpus had taken and killed one of her two partners. One being Valkyr Mithra, the other being Oberon Feyarch, the latter being the one dissected and sold for parts after he threw himself to get her the hell out of there with Valkyr in the final stretch of a long drawn battle that they had no chance of winning. Losing one of her family, ,she had truly saw that the path she walked would only bring more suffering, and that the origin system was doomed right from the start. Kill, and kill, and kill again, but they’ll just come back. Corpus, Grineer, Sentients; You kill one, two show up, and the numbers grow and grow; it wasn’t a fight for children to be forced into, and she knew that any tenno walking this path of “justice” would eventually die before reaching the goal of “peace”. She tries her best to save them, especially the younger Tenno, but ultimately fails due to children being stubborn, headstrong and generally difficult, and feels remorse for being unable to save them from the hell they’re walking into.
Ultimately, she blames the Lotus. Not for her “Betrayal”, but because she’s still leading these new Tenno - These children to an early grave, even when they experience the good of the system, it doesn’t make up the hell and horror they have to go through for ultimate peace. 
Drast is often seen as a threat to Tenno by the Lotus, due to abandoning what was deemed as “her duty”, and is often called dangerous and one that must either be eradicated, or avoided, at all costs, though she doesn’t prefer to fight with other Tenno. She holds no fear against them, but she would rather not raise arms against her “brothers and sisters”, but only wishes to save them from their early demise. Before losing her Feyarch, Drast was headstrong and loud, and quite the adventurer. Paired with Oberon and Valkyr, there was never a moment where she wasn’t smiling and laughing with them, for they were her family.
After Oberon was taken, she was, for the longest time a wreck, and in a way still is, and holds a deep grudge to the Lotus for leading her and others astray. But not only that, she has been more reserved in terms of her social status, opting not to be too loud. She’s extremely close to Valkyr, who of which is terrifyingly protective of her due to losing her other friend, and often assesses the target first before letting them engage with Drast. Though despite it all, she has her sense of adventure within.
anyway thanks for reading lmao
