GanknShank Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) The Sins of the Orokin empire and how each enemy faction embodies that trait. I believe Orokin empire to operate much like a theocratic empire with it’s fair shares of hypocrisy. The Corpus represent Greed and Lust for control It represents the Orkin's quest for more using mechanical augmentation, robotics and AI. The Grineer represent vainglory the usage of Cloning/genetic manipulation to achieve youth and eternal life. The Infested represent Gluttony an all-consuming hunger to devour all in its path, it also can represent the wrath though the usage of warfare using a parasitic virus. The Sentient represent pride the desire to spread there empire and influence beyond the origin system. I would also even considered the warframes and tenno to be the judgment and execution for the orokin empire only to turn on the Orikin to judge their hypocrisy. They may have even been awaken to purge/balence the system of the rot that the Orokin empire left in the wake of it’s demise. I also seem to notice that these themes to be backed up by a lot of the recent prime warframe trailers. Most notably Oberon Prime (greed), Banshee Prime (Wrath), Vauban Prime (Lust). In addition i hear usage of words like Sin, Judgement, proverbs, cleanse, laws. Edited November 6, 2017 by GanknShank removed bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndermanBeast Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 1) Nice theory. 2) Why is it all bold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion-Shields Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The bold makes it very hard to read using the dark forum theme. Just use normal text like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)MR S4LTY Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Often times, the use of religious themes can help understand a story as rich as this one. Might the Tenno then be, the Angels of Death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thCreed Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Not really fitting to label warframes like that. They're more recognized as symbols on their own right. Excalibur is Valor. Valkyr is Rage. Loki is Cunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just simply drawing connections to the prime teaser trailers and some of the VO matching a lot of the themes that I specified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you figure, I believe that they are open for interpretation. I never once said that this is 100% the gospel truth I was simply stating a theory and some of the themes I noticed. you may not see it the same way but that does not make anyone any more wrong or right.

I can see that. in my original statement, I would also even considered the warframes and tenno to be the judgment and execution for the orokin empire only to turn on the Orikin to judge their hypocrisy. They may have even been awaken to purge/balence the system of the rot that the Orokin empire left in the wake of it’s demise.

In addition i hear usage of words like Sin, Judgement, proverbs, cleanse, laws. I was stating more of the view that the Orokin saw the tenno more as tools. furthermore, the "atonement, and retribution " you mentioned could support what I said about they could have been awakened to cleanse/purge/balance the origin system. at least that is one of my theories.

Ah yes, i was squinting my eyes the whole time reading. No, not because it feels intense, just a dark theme user here. All in all, i find theories connected to the 7 deadly sins to be generic at best. It is way too overused in like, books, games, movies, series, plays, you name it. Good theory nonetheless, but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)MR S4LTY Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The Tenno/Warframes borne of "regret and retribution" kind of fits what I was aiming at with "angels of death." In that and mind you I am a total noob to the lore of Warframe, but it seems that the "perfect utopian" world/ galaxy gone bad required a "cleanup crew" and the way the Orokin sound, they come across as arrogant to the extreme with a very low view of anything not Orokin. Creating gene-spliced, genetic clones for menial labor and lower tier thinking smacks of arrogance. the "Gold-Kin/ Family" even sought to exterminate the Children of the 10-zero because they didn't fit into their Grand Designs...now those Children are striking back with a vengeance.

dreadgame Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 What about the Orokin elites? They kidnap ideal bodies each with lives and personalities only to kill them for the process of continuity. While this kinda represents real life practices; where people with enough resources and faulty bodies, due to reason or another, purchases "harvested" organs from the black market to prolong their lives, what kind of sin would you label that? The sin of survival? I just want to say I don't support such shady practices irl and I'm not trying to be edgy but I do believe that with enough desperation each and everyone of us are capable of beyond sinful acts.
