Nekros - Backstory - Leverian

[(PSN)Heaciiida]

I felt the need to create a backstory for Nekros, seeing that as for a time, it didn't even have a prime variant. Feel free to add or be as critical as you'd like.

 

Nekros once served as apothecary for a royal orokin family, creating potions for them, small cures to life-saving medicine. One day, the daughter of the royal family had suffered an illness, curable, but if not treated properly could end in severe problems. This royal family was a target by the Orokin school of political assassinations, for certain reasons and they had switched out his cure for a vile poison. In an attempt to save the daughter, he dove into the study of TOXINS, but as he saw her suffering, he knew he couldn't save her. Instead, using the warframe as a conduit for her soul (desecrate), trapped her into the warframe, ultimately killed her and ended her suffering from the poison. He was exiled from there and having to survive, began killing creatures and the human factions who sought his life. But, as he killed, he began hearing the voices of the damned and their last thoughts, as such, it corrupted and deformed the warframe into the Nekros we know now.

 

To explain shadows of the dead and similar abilities, he uses the hopes of the slain enemies to fight for him. Like the Grineer wanting to be wholly human again, the Corpus wanting to have a prosperous future for their people, and the infested to stop suffering and rotting.

 

The royal family more than likely being the family on Deimos where you can find the Nekros warframe parts.

ehh, it's not bad, but a couple of things:

that sounds pretty good, but apparently the Infestation don't see themselves as rotting or suffering, but as the embodiment of physical perfection, hence why they want us to "consume them" and be assimilated: we can't actually do that though, because Warframes are already made from an inert form of infestation hence the quote "we are your flesh"

you mean the Entrati? i suppose they could have something to do with him thematically, since many of their weapons are death-themed (Mausolon, Sepulcrum, Cortege) and they do appear to have used human remains in the construction of Necramechs, maybe Nekros could have had a hand in inspiring those too? who knows.

to be honest I'd like more Leverians for any frame that doesn't have a quest. Nekros would have a pretty interesting, and no doubt dark backstory, others like Baruuk, Garuda and Hildryn could also use some Lore love as well.
