Matri Frame

[Kreytas]

Warframe: Matri

 

Lore: Surviving for so long requires constant adaptation. This frame is an expert at utilizing battlefield scraps to boost it's survival and combat capabilities.

 

Appearance: Original conceptualization of this frame is designed to change according to load-out utilizing pieces of gear that are common among both corpus and grineer enemies. My original idea of a basic model would be a medium built frame (female) with a nullifier/battery pack on her back, tattered bits of "cloth," cable/tubing dreads, possibly goggle-like eyes, and to be discussed later "materialization bracelets." Additionally, the frame would use "holo-skates" to move around, much like those used by corpus elite enemies. 

- Note: As a by-product of this frame concept I believe it would be a gateway frame to having warframe cosmetic attachments that modify warframe abilities and/or base stats. For example: Matri could have a shoulder cannon or array attachment that would modify whether her ability did "Ability 1A" for having the cannon attached or "Ability 1B" for having the shoulder array attached. Additionally, there would be a similar options for the chest, such as a bursa front plate, the syandana slot could be an eximus(grineer) pack or a nullifier(corpus) pack. Another possibility would be to add attachments (prime) that would grant a minimal amount of base stat increase such as base health, base shield, base armor, and base energy.

- Note 2: Possible gateway to allow the farming of special attachments from corpus/grineer spy missions.

 

Base Stats:

- Health: 75

- Shields: 125

- Energy: 150

- Armor: 100

 

Passive Options:

- Hacking is easier. (Either reduces difficulty level by one factor, or hacking time increase.)

- Frequently corpus/grineer will mistake you for an ally. (5% chance per corresponding faction attachment that a corpus/grineer enemy will ignore you.)

- Mission objectives are augmented: For example, mobile defense terminals can be activated remotely without the card, or power cells can be placed on your waist allowing the use of your rifle.

- Innate Vacuum

Final Thoughts: I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this far. I tried to make the frame as balanced as I could, centering around a caster type class with decent ability to survive. I like the idea of full customization and so I tailored the frame to be a focal point of that idea. I would appreciate any criticism or recommendations to this idea to help me further polish the frame. For sure, many of the ability values were just basic guesses at a balanced skill, so I would very much like help with that. Anyways, thank you fellow Tenno, may you have much luck in your future missions!

PS - Also, if this frame idea goes well, I have a few other ideas for frames that are unique and fairly balanced, I might post them later. <3

See, they tried developing her to scavenge used mattresses from the battlefield but she got bed bugs and became Nidus :[
