[Cappucchino]

This is my first Warframe concept so hopefully that you guys like it.

I don't have the fan art on this concept because I'm not good in drawing.

 

Xeno
the Dark Knight theme Warframe

Codex explaination
Xeno is the knight of darkness. He gains advantage in melee battle and using dark power to improve his performance.

Story background

Former high rank knight of Orokin before dishonored and going to be executed by Stalker. But the knight has no fear,
he fought his former friend for 3 day and 3 nights long. Atlast, Stalker attemped to flee, The knight won but he received
fatal damage and he is going to die soon... But the knight tried to struggle , he noticed that he is near the most
dangerous Orokin Vault. The vault that contains the dark artifact, the artifact that can gives the user unimaginable dark power but it has a risk to destroys user body that too weak to be its master. Xeno didn't hesitate, he opened the vault with his last strength and claimed the artifact. The artifact merged with his body and release a intense dark power to Xeno's body. Surprisingly, Xeno's wound is fully healed in instant from the dark power but it causes Xeno turned into rage beast and slaughter everyone in his way. Finally, he destroy the execution tower and successfully escaped from Orokin. His consciousness is back but now he suffers the unimaginable pain cause by the artifact. He knows that he cannot stay more longer. He goes back to the destroyed Orokin tower and try to copy his data into blueprints. The system and chassis blueprint has been scattered through somewhere...
He keeps his helmet blueprint with himself. It is unbelievable that Xeno destroy the execution tower already but the vault has no damage at all. He sealed himself into that vault and sleep in there forever...

Xeno Warframe Quest Ideas

1st phase : Craft the quest blueprint and the quest will give the special void key blueprint that requires T1-T4 mobile defense keys.

 

2nd phase : The mark will locate the Void Mobile Defense mission that require special void key to proceed. (Everyone in squad must have it) The mission will has same difficulty as T3 mobile defense mission, defense the system until Lotus finish hacking the device to find data about Xeno.

 

3rd phase : Lotus will track the location on Orokin Void Sabotage (Grineer) mission (Difficulty same as T3 but need no key to play this mission). The system blueprint will be hidden in 3rd cache. Stalker will have a voice transmission when player received the blueprint.

 

4th phase : After retrived finished Xeno's system then Lotus will track the location on another Orokin Void Sabotage (Corpus) mission (Difficulty same as T4 but need no key to play this mission). The chassis blueprint will be hidden in 3rd cache. Stalker will have a voice transmission when player received the blueprint.

 

5th phase : After retrived finished Xeno's chassis then Lotus will track the last location on Orokin Derelict Hijack mission and the special Vault key blueprint is given. Craft the special Vault key and then proceed to the mission. (Everyone in squad must have it) Open the vault the retrieve the Xeno's helmet blueprint (Xeno's body lie down on the floor). Starting the mission, Stalker will send the third transmission to player. Stalker will taunt player for the last time when player see the vault, then appear (With Lv.50) and tries to assassinate everyone so defeat him !!! (Stalker appearing in this mission will not fade away when successfully assassinate the entire squad) Player will be unable to open the vault until Stalker is defeated.
Special Vault key > Dark Dragon Key

                 Decaying Dragon Key x 1
                 Extinguished Dragon Key x 1
                 Hobbled Dragon Key x 1

Stalker Quote during the quest

Stalker : You betray us and then you come back to desecrate our secret?

 

Second transmission after received the Xeno's Chassis blueprint

Stalker : You have known too much...

 

Third transmission after start the Orokin Derelict Hijack Mission

Stalker : This is the last warning. Stop it now, otherwise you will be judged.

 

Last Taunt before he appears

Stalker : I will stop you... NOW !!!

 

After HP less than 10% and attempt to flee

Stalker : I will hunt you down again...

 

 

Ps. Sorry for some grammatical mistakes

This post was really well done/written. I'm impressed. The skills are quite well thought out and seem balanced. This only needs a concept picture (or finalized) and it will be perfect.
