Open Call for Warframe Theme Ideas!

[(PSN)classroomdj]

I honestly didn't think about this topic too intently, but stemming from a [molten] polymer-based Warframe I previously submitted to the forums, perhaps an Annelid-based concept that burrows into the environment and through their enemies in some fashion.

Rotating splines and various other Warframe armor defenses could be purposed offensively, if desired.

Hope this idea helps in one form or another. 😄

Please forgive me in advance if this option was already available. And for mistakes. (google translator)

Suit
It takes power and energy from enemies. Uses the power of absorbed light to materialize the shadows of the Abyss.

A warframe born in the vast void of space. Its heart was a spherical crystal of cooled stellar matter. And someone who was once alive. The body is cosmic dust bound by the "darkness" that broke through from the abyss.
He was born of loneliness and a desire to fill the void of what replaced his soul (was his soul).
Emptiness gnawed at him from within. She was his strength. It absorbed the rays of distant stars. Their warmth. Their energy.
Thus be. See You later.

"He was nothing for a long time. Alone in this void. Loneliness became a scourge. Why did he Wake up? Voice? Whose is it? He's the only one here. One?"

My idea. A Serpentine Frame. Uses snake-like powers, to lash out, poison, strangle, or tie up enemies. Could even transform into a feathery serpent if she wanted to. One tied to flight and movement as well as precise strikng. Very Mesoamerican feel.

Hisstory will be made with this frame.

A scrap warframe- she's built from different pieces and is very slim but irregular build, very asymmetrical. She used to be three seperate warframes but all were killed in the Great War, the Corpus found the pieces left behind and managed to put them together into a quote unquote "amalgam" warframe. She doesn;t look like an outright chimera or anything, just a bunch of shards and pieces all put together that don't quite look like they all belong but visually, it just *fits.* Her power kit might involve activating 'memories' of these three warframes that make her build but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, scrap warframe, I'd love to see more asymmetrical designs!

Okay so granted it may seem like this is a new account buuuut this is just my newest one, my other account tbh I just forgot lol. Anyways I've noticed a common theme with warframes is going to mythologies for inspiration, with frames taking inspiration from all over the ancient world and their cultures, we've seen greek, nordic, and even egyptian inspirations throughout and more over the past seven years. One mythology I personally have a love for however does not have a specific frame to commemorate it, and that would be shintoism from the feudal japanese era. Yes, the tao is shown and of course asian culture as a whole is very much shown within the game, how could it not be? We're all ninjas!
Enter Inari, the warframe based off of a kitsune. Inari translates to "Good fox" and is a kitsune spirit that represents mostly fertility within the mythology of shintoism.
As all kitsune have, I'd imagine inari has sort of a ball, using it throughout his or her abilities. 
Just some ideas of course but perhaps the ball could ricochet off of enemies that are close to one another
Maybe another ability has the ball stay in one place to heal or shield allies that come within range
A third ability perhaps uses a kitsune's known abilities of trickery, using the ball to trick opponents into fighting one another or maybe the ball devours them, healing Inari.
Another option could be Inari disguising itself as one of the enemies in order to trespass without being seen.
An ultimate I feel would do justice personally is a transformation, revealing a "true form" of the warframe that gives it a more feral appearance, sprouting nine tails made of pure energy, allowing a rampage to ensue with claws, fangs, and all sorts of other fun things that makes the grineer, corpus, and other baddies shiver when they go to sleep at night.
Please consider this idea as a possibility and thank you all for reading!

my Vulpinara also uses the Kitsune theme so hoping one of us gets in 😋

[Morzeka]

Shoggoth/Old God/Tentacled Eldritch Cosmic Horror Monstrosity.

Praise the Old Gods!

[Vactro]

A fog/mist based warframe

[JiggleNipple]

Asura, the Buddhism-inspired warframe (not a Buddhist himself, mind you!).

I posted it when Baruuk was announced. Basically the most important concept is the rebirth cycle, which you can use in many ways (to be reborn in an enemy or whatnot), and the three poisons of life - a buddhist concept of aversion, ignorance and attachment - as the abilities and how they change with each of the incarnations (I initially thought of 6, since in the buddhist cosmology, there are 6 realms: hell, the hungry ghosts realm, animals, humans, demigods and gods). This would be intriguing since, under rigth circumstances, you'd WANT to die, so it would be a completely new playstyle.

If you like the idea, please dig out my post from before with the detail about my design. If you can't find it, contact me here or in-game (same nick) or by the email I use to log into the game (would prefer the gmail).

Thanks!

War-Machine-Frame. Do something dumb for once DE. All abilities are a exalted weapon type (Pistol, shotgun, assault, launcher...) that can be combined and replaced as the player chooses for dual handling, each of them having their own energy consuptions and moddable stats. Or instead, he can carry his primary on his left hand and his secondary on his right (or vice-versa). GUNZERKER FOR LIFE!

An eldritch shapeshifter. This frame's abilities manifested in part because the process to turn the host into a frame took far too long, leading to a much more intense Infested influence. Since the fall of the Orokin everyone has feared to explore the outer reaches of the system, death and destruction is all that has been visited on those who dared. The minds of those whose bodies survive his wrath are broken. He is the one who lives in the darkness, and he corrupts and consumes any fool so unfortunate as to fall victim to him. Their passing will not be swift, and before he is through with them they will beg to become a part of The Collective.

[Vedlom]

Finally getting time-based frame - an actual Chronomancer would be beyond good.

[(XBOX)MonkySusgDud]

2 ideas. 1st idea is an explosive themed frame. Basically just big bombs and landmines everywhere.

 

2nd idea is a cryptid themed warframe. Something that uses the ancient powers of maybe Mothmam or the Wendigo, so something else similar. Just really unusual/unnatural powers. 

[Sharp_End]

An infested warframe. The Abomination.

They fought so long among the infested they themselves were turned into one.

Now they must in turn kill others to gain back life which constantly drains from them over time.

[Ktro]

I would like to see an Animal / orokin animal specialist whose all 4 abilities would call upon various animals to fight by his side. 1 for a sentinel like being, 2 for a kavat/kubrow 3 for something fast (fast like maniac) and 4 will be a monstrosity like a juggernaut. I would like to see not those but orokinized version of such creatures. Also he might have an ability where he absorbs all of them and becomes a super form of warframe. Would like to see a warframe which evolves. The frame will be super tanky but in its beast mode it loses its shield and armour but damage output of melee becomes 450%

[iG4B3]

PARASITE FRAME

A few takes on it:

Plague style - infested, blood & guts

Spiritual style - sentient, energy & purity

Ghostly style - sentient, possession & haunting

Tech style - corpus, cyborg implants & hacking

Machinery style - grineer, body engines & mutilation

Fae style - plants, fairy lights & golemancy

Nature style - vines, mushrooms & neurotoxin

 

Taking over hostiles, controlling them to kill their allies, sapping their strengths and attributes, and finally slaying them from the inside out. Kill it, DE!

[Shadowmere]

Posting here my ideia i gave in the other topic:

I would love to see a martial arts based warframe like boxing or maybe some martial art focused more on the legs(muai thai).This warframe could be found because of reports of someone challenging grinner and corpus to braws, getting the attention of some faction(steel meridian perhaps) and thus getting you sent to investigate and we could roll out from there, he could have a series of skills focused on real martial arts but with the impact and style we love in warframe, it could be a contrast to baruuk pacifism or he just wants to improve his skills as a fighter.

[(XBOX)Carkerz]

Snake theme. Can poison and have status effects, summon a horde of snakes etc

[ComedyKnife]

Saw this posted on the Reddit last year, a meme at first glance but actually a great idea for a theme. 

All about laying "waste" to enemies 😉

 

[0Howl0]

A Warmaster style Warframe, capable of summoning and using a variety of different melee weapons (think the style of combat employed in Final Fantasy XV)

They could be used to introduce Arch-melee on land (if that is still something that is planned for the future)

You are commenting me? 

[-CCC-WickJan]

A defender type warframe that was engieneered by the corpus. His exalted weapon would be a shield and arm mounted laser rifle

[(PSN)CYBA2TH]

I think a chrome liquid metal warfrme with morph abilities, arm morphs into selected weapon on both arms, self destruct and reconstitute itself, mirror enemy morph for stealth, 

[Wephrix]

I Always wanted a warframe that had mystic powers, that can control enemies and smash them on the ground, a combination of baruuk (for the thing that makes enemies levitate), mag (for the fact that Mag can crunch masses of enemies at the same time in the air with her ultimate), and nidus (cuz he can literally compress a bunch of enemies in one place)...  a warframe that can levitate like a mystic spectre with his ultimate and control crowds with his powers... would be something like an ancient orokin hidden warframe or something,idk... but i would love to play with him if he become real ho ho ho...

[Dead_Rabbits]

Demiurge
-Abilities powered by the souls of slain foes
-The number of souls determines power strength
-Ability 1
Reap: A demonic spectral arm reaches out and grabs your foe, enemies killed with this ability have their souls taken
-Ability 2
Chorus of the Damned: The souls of the fallen cry out causing damage over time.
The number of souls stolen determines the damage per tick
25% of the enemies killed with this ability have their souls stolen
-Ability 3
Demonic March: A giant fiery demonic foot crushes all who face him
(imagine the warframe stomping one foot forward and a giant fiery demon foot appears in front of you stomping your enemies to death leaving behind a fiery foot shaped crater)
-Ability 4
Wrath of the fallen one: I need to think more on this one but you would gain fiery wings,tail etc like a spectral demon is being over layed onto the warframe.
Would probably consist of a mix of melee attacks and directed fire of some element, can attack with the tail and wings as well as claws. Would empower your other abilities.
