(XBOX)Architect Prime Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 In the SFW sense, since we're on the forums: If Warframes COULD reproduce, what would the result be? Baby Warframe? Baby Orokin? Something else like some infested monster? C-section required? Full nine months or biological oddity? Nuclear Warframe family or sent to the Lotus (just like your kubrow you monster)? Garage sale of baby stuff (not unlike Maroo's bazaar)? Does gender work the same way or is it just Space Magictm? Which polarities are inhereted? Requires transference to move or fully autonomous? Would it be a strong enough force to make frame-parents act on their own, and or kick out the operator? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhael222 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 The Helminth has got to have a role here somewhere. Maybe it's like the queen of the warframe hive, spitting baby warframes out of its body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since every faction isn't making them, there must be some non-machine element that only the Tenno and Ballas have access to.

Alguien Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 It depends on the frame, Protea for example births turrets, Quorvex has an obelisk, Nidus has a lovely swarm of maggots, Xaku has like 32 floating gun children and a bone to pick with you, etc No C-section or 9 months, just press the baby make ability and it will spawn where you are aiming at instantaneous, make sure to have enough energy for the life-creation moment No time for a nuclear family, Steve said he didn't like permanent abilities, so the baby poofs out of existence after a while, you can extend how long he has in this world with duration mods The Man in the Walls did it, so space magic, something about when are you giving him a grandson or something Baby is fully autonomous, and has crying, eating, sleeping, and pooping abilities Not strong enough, DE didn't want another Wukong clone situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which polarities are inhereted? Requires transference to move or fully autonomous? Would it be a strong enough force to make frame-parents act on their own, and or kick out the operator? No. They reproduce by bilateral fission. Orokin don't have babies. They steal other peoples' bodies because they're big meanies. Fission. Fission. Fission. The original "dies" in the process, leaving two identical clones which retain its memories and personality. There is no baby stuff, but if the parent was a domestic frame the arsenal is split between the two new warframes. There is no gender. The only truth is blood. Polarities are split evenly between the two clones. If there are an uneven number of polarities, the clones engage in ritual combat to determine who receives the extra polarity. If the "parent" was a domestic warframe, both clones require transference. Feral warframes are fully autonomous, and are traditionally referred to as "umbra" frames. There was only one parent, which now only exists in that the newly created warframes retain its memories and personality. See previous answer regarding frame-operator social dynamics.

(PSN)Unstar Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: In the SFW sense, since we're on the forums: If Warframes COULD reproduce, what would the result be? For the sake of simplicity I'm going to assume that we're talking exclusively about reproduction that occurs between consenting Warframes. Big disclaimer that I am far from a biology expert, but hopefully even if I get some stuff wrong this can kick-start a compelling discussion. Hopefully someone better versed in that area can correct me if necessary! EDIT: read my post later in the thread which corrects some of the inaccurate biology facts I wrote here and thus leads to a different conclusion! At least as far as I'm aware, all of the traits that get passed on to a living organism's children are encoded in their genes; while mutations and mild variations do occur when passing on genes (which is the foundation of Darwinism), your genes don't really change due to the events in your life. Getting super swole at the gym won't mean your offspring are any better at that, nor will things like getting a chemical burn or losing a limb be passed on to your offspring. In theory, advanced enough technology could alter genes and impact this process, but there's not really a payoff for the Orokin to go to that extra effort. Warframing existing adult Dax gave them soldiers to fight their war immediately, whereas it would have taken more than a decade to raise a generation of Warframe babies. Patience was never an Orokin strong-suit in the best of times, let alone when they were facing a threat to their existence. So all of that said, I think the most likely outcome would be that a coupling between two Warframes would result in the child being a Dax. (Though I'd also say that realistically speaking, it seems far more likely that Warframes are infertile on a variety of different axes) Edited November 29, 2023 by (PSN)Unstar my spouse learned me some biology and i was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)jaggerwanderer Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The Sacrifice already show us warframe are previous humans subjects. We just don't know if the reproductive organs are still there. As far as we know, all warframe are gender neutral. The Infested are more parasetic as to how they reproduce. More like injecting larve into a host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also guessing that they given a bottle of Kuva instead of Milk so that they can use Continuity and be immortal like their parents. 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: Something else like some infested monster? this seems most likely, but thankfully the Helminth Infestation is super stable for the most part; otherwise our entire Orbiter would be looking like the Eris tileset, instead of just the one room. technically Nidus creates infested babies in Maggot form as well. 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: C-section required? depends on the difficulty of the birth, but given how skilled we are with blades, I don't think it'd be a big deal... 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: Full nine months or biological oddity? this whole premise is a "biological oddity.." 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: Nuclear Warframe family or sent to the Lotus (just like your kubrow you monster)? we could have had that for ourselves, but ballas was gonna be our dad in that case.. he'd only end up "going out for Kuva milk" and never returning anyway... would be a great way to discipline the child though "eat all your Nutrient Cubes or I'll send you to the Lotus Room!" 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: Garage sale of baby stuff (not unlike Maroo's bazaar)?

I suppose it'd depend on the parent Warframes, likely some configuration of both. 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: Requires transference to move or fully autonomous? warframes can* technically be fully autonomous, but they are primitive and aggressive, as we know from Rhino Prime Codex and Umbra.. it'd certainly be better for the Warframe "kid" if he were used by an operator (but then one could argue it wouldn't be the same person i guess, IDK this whole thing is kinda messed up lol) 2 hours ago, (XBOX)Architect Prime said: Would it be a strong enough force to make frame-parents act on their own, and or kick out the operator? depends on the backstory of the people that was used to make the parent warframes in the first place I reckon: if an ordinary human mother or father ends up getting the "Dagath treatment", or if they are imprinted with a memory of parenthood, like how Umbra was implanted with the memory of killing his son, then it seems somewhat possible. and this thread, fellow tenno, is why we shouldn't let the intrusive thoughts win.
