Cephalon Frame

[(PSN)Papa_ApplePie]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Warframe Cloud

 A Frame Suit fitted with it's own Cephalon (Like a ship with it's own Cephalon, sure it can speak, but it can't man the entire ship alone. Just like Jordas trapped on an infested ship, this is a Cephalon stuck in a war machine just collecting data as it flies by. She can only detach so far before being pulled right back to it). Cephalon Cloud projects herself with a passion for the round swirly free forming shapes of Clouds. Just like the frames digital clouds.

Cephalon Cloud communicates with her Tenno through shapes to express her emotions rather then Dialect like English.
She believes it to be more efficient and productive.

She wasn't always like this.

 

Passive: Killing Enemies causes them to drop disapproval Data Cubes. While allowing your teammates to kill Enemies for you drops Approval Data Cubes.

 

Abilities.

1. Sneak past your enemies by mimicking Objects that have been fully scanned in your Object Codex. (Or troll with your friends  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

2. Use the internal scanner on Clouds wrist to scan an enemy and learn personal information on them. Then Lure your foes away by mimicking that very idea. (A randomly generated quirk system would need to be implemented for this, but I think it be so funny to lure a wave of grineer because they idolize the hottest Ballista in their ranks or even worse.)

_

3. Disapproval Kills build up Cephalons Clouds Negative Data Base. Watch as your Cephalon detaches from your frame and decimates the health of enemies around you in one clean wipe. (Advised not to use with other fellow warframes around).

4. Approval Kills build up Cephalon Clouds Positive Data Base. Unleash this data at max to give your fellow warframes a holographic copy of themselves that will copy their every move. Even their damage output. However, Warframes that die or fall in death pits will lose their privilege to this copy until used again.

 

If it's not clear.

Cephalon Clouds true nature is letting others do the work for her. She's not impressed with the do it yourself. But rather the latter. Believing that it's only wiser to be able to do so little and, yet gain so much. Cephalon Cloud admires the tactic of observing and replicating the most efficient ways of all to reach her true end goal. Giving wait to why warframes that fail by dying or falling into death pits lose their privilege of such a replicated copy. They are not worthy or efficient in Clouds perception.

The Quest to obtaining this warframe:

Ordis receives a message of simple shapes on a toy.
Ordis can't make anything of it. And, gives it to the Tenno as a toy in their emote wheel.

Putting this "toy"  will cause you to sit down and start playing with it. Much like a rubik cube, you can choose to leave this puzzle unsolved. 
However, if you attempt to solve the puzzle. Success will grant your a holographic star chart from the toy.

Accept, that one of the planets seems to be missing.

Venturing to the planet with the toy still in your emote wheel on any mission. But upon entering the mission, there will be no goal or way point.
All enemies appear to be only holographic copies with no clue of your presence. Will you explore to find what brought you here through subtle clues?

 

(The END!)

Its an interesting concept but a Cephalon as far as i know is the copy of the continence of someone who got transferred into a sort of data prism from where they can perpetuate some personal objective they had or knowledge.

If a Cephalon frame was made, it would be self aware and uncontrollable, meaning it would better be suited as a game NPC rather than something we as a player could use.

Had a few similar skill conceps for a shadow based frame I did a while ago ( if you are curios Sombra ) so here my feedback on your kit.

I like unique resourses because they are better at creating a unique gameplay loop than energy. You should add a second passive that allows the frame to do something while you are using your operator even if that something is dacing because you know it would be odd for the cephalon to just idle while the operator is out. Having two passives is not uncomon for example atlas has 2 , sure footed and his armor , inaros also has 2 healing on finsihers and turning into a cofin upon death.

This is bad invisibility ( does not allow you to fire your weapons or melee) , add a bonus perk after the end of the tranformation.

This is a fancier ivara noise arrow ,once again add something else to it like it turns into their wrost nightmare upon recast or blows up.

It an aoe nuke , it is fine because it relies on a unique resource intead of energy.

That´t the skill similar to sombra , her passive allows her to copy an ally loudout by pressing X at then , her 2 allows her to create a copy of herself that repeats all her actions with a small delay. So you could be 2 copies of your ally. But back at the topic at hand this is skill is really good , mulshot for warframe but there is a problem this skill is literally disabled during solo play, so you should either created a way to gain aproval solo and copy herself or give the skill a secondary effect if there is no aproval during cast. 

 

Overall created a quite creative concept
