    Wtf I never said Valkyr Valkyr skin... Why not go in "Original Valkyr " or Origin Skin Valkyr...  

    If ye base Gersemi as the original Valkyr, The Valkyr now should have been waaaay thinner. Even if experimented, the supposed peeled off arms looks bigger than Gersemi's thinner arms... The angle and positioning of her legs is also different too.. Even experimenting they woudnt have changed her core skeletal frame...

    Neptlude, I've read all your posts here, and that actually one explanation that makes sence from everything else. That "Gersemi Valkyr" is a variation like a Vandal\Prisma\etc..actually works.

    Thanks for putting it all together. Still would prefer a Gersemi Prime.

    she has the figure of gersemi

    I heard that many times..where?

    Prime is heavy and straight. Prime silhouette isn't eye catching (while Gersemi's "wings" shape and tail are supporting), that's my main complaint - even the default is more interesting because the lack of details DE added on her Prime, making her silhouette harder to determine. That's just my opinion, of course.

    Perhaps maybe we could ask make Valkyr Prime accessories (those on her knees, chest, legs, etc) visible on Gersemi? I remember they did so with Loki Deluxe (and removed that feature later)

    "Before Alad V, before the experiments, there was the Gersemi Valkyr."

    Before Corpus AND Alad V specifically. Which is means the Original - Prime version of Valkyr - can't be created by Alad V and by then: shouldn't be based on her default (after-Corpus, after-Alad V) look. Chronology is like: Prime (Gersemi Prime) -> Common Warframe (Gersemi) -> Any other variations (Valkyr)

    Default Valkyr has a collar, shackles on her hands been attached to something with wires (Valkyr Bonds), her whole body is stitched with wires - it's clearly a Corpus thing, and when Prime warframe was made Corpus didn't even exist as a faction.

    And for some reason Prime Valkyr has all Corpus-themed features. Though I kinda (?) understand why DE choose to Prime her default appearance.

    For those who can't see the similarity between default Valkyr and her Prime I made a comparsion.

    And then I added over her Gersemi skin some gold according to her Now Existing Valkyr Prime, thinking how the common Gersemi was simplified in design compared to her Gersemi Prime: http://imgur.com/a/OyWSX Also I stayed with her new Prime Helmet because I like it, except the collar.

    Note: I'm not pretending to be an author of a concept, it all goes to DE, I just drawn some things over. DE, if you're not allowing to use your concepts in such way, please tell me and I will delete it.

    P.S.

    Spoiler

     

    If we go a little deeper - I'm not going to say this is how it was while developing, but it just fits - "Gersemi" is the name of a half-goddess, daugther of Freya - a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, gold (Hello Orokin just kidding), war, and death - and Od\Odr, who is a mortal\an incarnation of Odin in mortal man. His name is in Old Norse means "Divine Madness, frantic, furious, vehement, eager", as a noun "mind, feeling" and also "song, poetry".

    Valkyries are kinda lower in hierarchy compared to half-goddesses. Which is symbolic - Corpus captures a half-goddess (named so by Orokin), tortures her and Gersemi fells down to a raging Valkyrie, loosing some of her features. Also, another Corpus-styled helmet (Kara) is actually named after a Valkyrie.

     

    P.P.S. I'm sorry for my English - its not my native.
