[Warframe Concept] Jikan

[Teneroth]

Jikan is the master of manipulating the flow of time, altering his or his enemies perception of it to the advantage of the Tenno. 

 

Health: 100-200

Armor: 10

Power: 100-250

 

(1) Regression: 25 energy

With a great pulse Jikan causes enemies to forget the last few minutes. In a cone in front of him all enemies take a low amount of armor ignoring damage and are stunned for X seconds. If attacked they are no longer stunned and will attack whoever dealt them damage. This ability also wipes all agro from them mobs.

 

(2) Temporal Distortion: 50 energy

Jikan alters the flow of time around him. For X seconds all non-homing projectiles aimed at him are redirected in random directions upon coming within 2 meters of Jikan. Enemies entering this zone are slowed by 90% while they remain within 2 meters of him. 

 

(3) Drain time: 75 energy

Jikan sucks temporal energy out of the area, slowing down everything except his fellow Tenno. Upon casting Jikan generates a large bubble around him with a short casting animation, enemies hit with the forming bubble take a moderate amount of damage. For the next X seconds, while the bubble lasts, all enemies move, attack and fire 50% slower. Projectiles, both friendly and hostile, also move at a reduced speed through this zone. After the time is up the bubble collapses drawing all enemies a set distance towards the middle, rag dolling them. The collapse deals no actual damage, but enemies can take minor damage from colliding with each other.

 

(4) Time's End: 100 energy

All enemies in a large area suddenly come down with a feeling of fear as Jikan begins to suck the temporal energy out of them. Over a few seconds, while Jikan cast's this power, enemies panic, firing wildly at random targets or, if no targets are available, run around randomly. With a final tug, Jikan then rips pure time energy from them, dealing huge damage to all effected enemies. Based on the number of enemies hit, Jikan then surrounds himself in their, now aborted, timelines, gaining a temporary shield. The more damage done the greater the shield.

 

 

As a master of temporal mechanics Jikan serves as a crowd control and tank frame, with the ability to deal moderate amounts of damage. Regression combined with a shotgun can quickly draw the attention of large crowds of enemies. With Temporal distortion he becomes almost immune to ranged attacks. Quick thinking will allow Jikan to dodge or avoid enemies in melee range through the use of Drain time, and Jikan can gain a huge temporary shield through the use of his Ultimate, Time's end, allowing him to tank huge amounts of damage when needed.

Another time frame with another possibly religion based name?

Jikan is 'Time' in Japanese. Took me over 9000 hours of searching google to find it :P

 

And yes, time based, this idea has been kicking around in my head for a while.

I was thinking more along the lines of Slow (Slow down enemies within range), Stop (Totally immobilize enemies within AoE for X seconds), and Haste (Similar effect with Volt? Or maybe double fire/melee rate and reload speed for allies, maybe double shield recovery rate too) 
Rewind/Fast Forward (Allies heal back their shield and health, and enemies in range takes damage due to getting old (Grineer grows old, Corpus starts rusting, Infested starts rotting)
But that would make it an utility frame instead lol

I saw a number of the 'time based frames' that Egan mentioned all of whom had abilities similar to those, a slow, aging... crowd speed... I wanted to go for a different take on it, just to get some different ideas floating around. I tried going for more a 'perception of time' type thing rather than actually manipulating time but... couldn't come up with enough ideas to flesh it out.
