Averruncus: The Aversion Frame (Support Frame Class Concept)

[dan.io.wal]

The warframe of aversion: Diverting damage and enemy auras alike, while granting allies the damage potential and survivability they need for higher mission completion potential. 

 

Averruncus is a support frame of immense power, protecting his allies by averting damage and making threats trivial. So decicated to this mission, he has low offensive capability on his own, but his defensive ability has incredible potential.

I'm currently working on his design. I'm hoping to update this thread with it relatively soon. I feel that there are few dedicated support frames. The only true support is trinity. However, there are many alt-support frames. (Harrow, Nezha, Equinox) So I feel that this would be an interesting concept. If you have any suggestions in terms of his powers, design, and any other ideas, please comment below :) I'd love to see him actually become considered by the devs.
