Zeghart Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) There's nothing to base opinions on but pure guesses really, but I guess some associations are easier than others: Vauban - French, since he was named after a French Engineer and one of his abilities is called Bastille Volt - Italian, as the Volt as a unit of measurement got its name from Alessandro Volta, the Italian scientist that invented the battery Loki - Scandinavian, since Loki is a god in Norse mythology Mesa - Possibly Mexican/American, because of her gunslinger theme and originally Spanish/Portoguese name Nyx - Greek or Latin, since it was the name of a Greek/Roman goddess Ash - Japan, because he's basically a ninja Excalibur, Limbo - Possibly the UK, because of the name in the first case and the "gentleman with a top-hat" theme in the second Zephyr - BURD That's pretty much it, really.

Shoku-Nin Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Loki - Celtic, since Loki is a god in Norse mythology Just for clarity's sake, I think you mean Scandinavian. Celtic mythology is something else entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deshiel Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Considering this game takes place in some alternate future, I don't think modern nationalities exist in this game. I think my Warframes have a mix of Martian and a form of Astro-earthling. You were supposed to tell me if they remind you of some nationality, not if they are based on them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkamiMilo Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 All of them are Japanese, because they are Ninjas in the space :v And maybe they don't have a nationality, because the Earth is now belongs to the Grineer... So.... They Are Grineers? Noooo.... They don't have a nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all cool, because this thread is about what they resemble, not where they are from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesa: Old West because gunslinger.Arizona/New Mexico because there are, well, lots of mesas there. Frost: Alaska. His coat has an Inuit feel to it. Hydroid: He's a pirate. Somewhere in the Carribean. Oberon: Northern Europe. He has a pagan feel to him, what with how he practicices magic and looks like a deer. Nova Prime: Burma. Neck Rings.

VoidNomade Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If we talk only about art design: Ash - either japan ninja or arab assasin Banshee - Chroma - Chinese Ember - Excalibur - English Frost - Inuit Hydroid - Caribian Limbo - English Loki - Mag - German Mesa - Spanish, Mexican /Wild West Mirage - France Necros - Greek Nova - Korea (i don´t know why... just ..Korea o.o) Nyx - Greek Oberon - German Rhino - Russian Saryn - Trinity - Valkyr - Vauban - France Volt - France Zephyr - Aztec - without anything means i don´t see any relation to a nation in the art of the frame without knowing why.

Forgotten_Aeon Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Saryn always felt a little French to me. Classy, good posture, powerful strut, fur coat shoulders, femme fatale thing going on- she doesn't even have a face and you can tell she's haughty yet demure. Vauban's clearly French. Mesa is a drifter, born to a drug mule mother crossing the border (either direction and nationality) who was murdered shortly after giving birth by the cartel. Thus the spark of vengeance was ignited within. Nyx is Greek. My ancient goddess. I can imagine her as a very convincing orator in public squares. Limbo is British! God save the queen! Some earl grey good chap? Being Australian, I feel like I should have at least one, but the closest I can think of would be Chroma given that those dragon-like lizards used to live here.

GunDownGrace Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 i mean,to put it bluntly,racially im a mix of lots of things native american,and i think some italian on my mother's side german,irish,and british and indian(eastern hemisphere) on my father's side and i fancy myself a soviet loyalist,the music,the culture,the philosophy,its jsut what jives with me so how am i spost to pick a warframe that would suit me (pun intended) much less infer on a frame's nationality properly?

K0bra Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Mesa - looks like a Matador with Pistols.I think Spain or Mexican. Saryn - is german because of Saryngas and she is a poison frame. Vauban - is french for me.His alternate helmet and bastille. Excalibur - british. Loki - Scandinavian. Volt - Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
