Tesseract_The_Pariah Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 You can inhabit any Warframe. You inherit powers from the Warframe you wear, which is shaped after the original wearer. Think Eldar Phoenix Lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Ooh. Well, there goes that debate. A shame, there were some fun threads about it. So, the next question: what is a tenno, then? A ghost? Are tenno gender-neutral/gender-fluid? A brain in a suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexlars Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm pretty sure the Warframe is a suit thing was already confirmed. I agree with the Warframe giving the powers part. I believe the Tenno's void exposure gave them a "spark" or "void energy" (for lack of a better term) to actually use the Warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Shadowfoxx307 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 That is dumb ._. I personally do not feel that that instantly and automatically confirms everything that the Mono-Tenno theory argues for. And it raises more questions than answers, because if Tenno were able to use any warframe, why is there any differentiation in them at all ? Why are they different genders, why do they have different powers, why not just have a gender neutral X-cal that can use all the powers instead of having this wide array of differentiation and gender issues that the Mono-Tenno theory does not have an answer for because the Tenno at least to our knowledge and through everything that's been implied are SUPPOSE to be human As far as I'm concerned making them some sort of ghost, shape-shifter thing now would be a bloody retcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Shadowfoxx307 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Especially because accord to Vor the power comes from the Tenno, and according to the Orokin the Warframes were built around the Tenno, not the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Nothing is confirmed until the developers say so. You're merely interpreting and speculating. EDIT: As for the Tenno, they have been confirmed to be human ages ago in a dev stream. The exact quote by Steve was "They are, or at least were, human..." This to me indicates that they were regular humans who through Void exposure/experimentation now are something... beyond human.

xGryphus Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 "We've been wrong all this time. Tenno do not control the Warframe's divine energy. The Tenno ARE that energy. Each Warframe you control is merely a glass shaping your furious light." - Captain Vor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahuHordika Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) This isn't proof of anything, the game has always refered to the user itself rather than the characters. That is in fact spread across online games with multiple characters and does not mean jack to the actual lore. Also the warframes are suits, we've always known that. Also, like others have said recently we have been hinted that it is the warframe that shapes the powers, not the Tenno inside.

As far as I'm concerned making them some sort of ghost, shape-shifter thing now would be a bloody retcon To be fair, it wouldn't. All the lore we have would make sense whether it's one tenno per frame, or one tenno per account. No retcons would be required for either of those.

Brimir Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 That doesn't mean the tenno are actually energy, just like how the warframes aren't actually glass. Exactly. Vor's words are up to interpretation and one thing you have to keep in mind is that neither the Grineer nor Corpus know how the Warframes work at this point in the lore; whatever they say is purely speculation on their part. Plus, Vor is rather unhinged (as are all Grineer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inversus Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So, the next question: what is a tenno, then? A ghost? Are tenno gender-neutral/gender-fluid? A brain in a suit? Vor says something about tenno being energy focused by warframes in the starter quest i haven't been able to start it yet cause my archwing is being built still. but that one word, miscalculation. i want to know what happened to limbo my guess is he rift-walked into a rock and it didn't go too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the lore we have would make sense whether it's one tenno per frame, or one tenno per account. No retcons would be required for either of those. One Tenno per frame. I agree with this. One Tenno per account. No I don't agree with this. I think the key to that is Valkyr. I think there is a special relationship between a Tenno and their warframe. Which is why there can be multiple Valkyr. However I don't feel when I Tenno enters her frame that they can tear themselves out of the anger and hatred and use a different frame. I don't think that's how that works. I think a Tenno is bound to one Frame. Hence. Poly-Tenno theory. Although this is a weird example I like to think of the Tenno as Stem Cells, raw void energy that can be differentiated into any power based on the Frame, but when they differentiate I don't feel that they can change.

Brimir Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Vor says something about tenno being energy focused by warframes in the starter quest No, he doesn't. Metaphor. I could say that the Tenno is the sun and the Warframe is a magnifying glass and I'd say the same thing he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahuHordika Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 In a contination to my previous post, games that allow a player to have multiple characters at once often refer to the playe as a single one by NPCs. However what I feel is going on here is that DE is doing that as well, yet unlike in those games the lore here is so lacking (even if it keeps developing) and people will literally take every single little thing as confirmed cannon, even if it's not meant to be.
