Revisiting my Warframe AU
My Warframe AU, that I named "They Live", or "Furframe" for a sillier name, where the warframes ended up looking a bit different and also all being different individuals. Tenno do not exist in this AU, only warframes do.
Now I can't remember every detail about the canon lore so I'm working with that I can remember and understand, since Warframe lore is quite confusing sometimes, so here's my ideas on how it differs from the canon I remember:
When the Orokin first created the warframes, they ended up as more like living creatures than in the official timeline. Many of the warframes have animal-like, or monstrous features.
Each type of warframe was a modified version of the Helminth strain that caused specific features and abilities for each person that was injected with it, though each individual having variations (represented by the different skins, helmets and colours that can be chosen in-game). They started with the prime versions, and then moved to the regular versions later.
The warframes eventually betrayed the Orokin, and after the war was over they went into cryosleep. They are now slowly waking up from their cryosleep, many losing memories and waking up disoriented.
After awakening, some warframes formed clans to work together, some worked with whoever happened to have the same goal at the time, and some remained solo. A group of warframes joins together to make a clan called Ether Alliance. The AU story centers around this clan, consisting of my Warframe OCs.
So in this AU every warframe was once a person that got transformed into a warframe, though most probably lost their memories in the process. I also played around with an idea for a memory-based warframe that the Orokin made to wipe their memories on purpose, choosing someone who volunteered for it.
The warframes lost even more memories from the cryosleep, to varying decrees. Some could remember most of the war, some only had vague impressions, some had it so bad they couldn't remember a thing, not who they are or even what they are, completely clueless to even being warframes.
Now, I decided that the Lotus exists in this AU, therefore I had to tie Margulis and the Lotus' lore into it. Margulis probably saw transforming people into warframes forcibly and then forcing them to fight as immoral and objected to it, and then it goes as it does in canon, with the Tenno replaced by the warframes. That means Ballas looses Margulis because of his own creations, which is very funny I think.

Schmidt Family are Shifters
I've been re-reading my fics, and I realized that technically, Michael's family has animal features/senses thanks to the lengths they went to survive and escape the Cult of William.
Michael does gain fox features after shifting, turning parts of him Fox-like when performing his paranormal vigilantism. Sometimes these features become a hindrance in certain situations but usually help him catch his bounties.
Vanessa gains faint outlines of wolf features when using her abilities, usually conjuring claws and fangs when her temper flairs. She spent a large amount of her hiding to try controlling her new assets while bartering for information on her family's whereabouts.
Gregory's mask becomes part of him, giving functional ears and nose of Glamrock Freddy. He has two gifts from his parents, the Glamrock Freddy mask from his mom, and a Roxanne Wolf jacket from his dad. The latter melds into his spectral cloak and arms after he starts shifting.

Stupid ramble about my OC Katie
This poor woman, after being destroyed, happy in her limbo of death, being rudely jolted back to the living world by tenno. I mean, i'd be angry too if i was brought back from the dead unwillingly, especially if i had escaped everything that caused me pain.
Katie does not like the tenno. You thought umbra was bad, no, no, even umbra advised against rebuilding Katie. But the tenno are stubborn and didn't listen (hmm Katie, does that ring a bell?)
Anyway, angry Katie wished they never brought her back. I'm also still tired, and i feel like i'm gonna pass out after my meeting, and this'll probably end up non-cannon in some capacity. Idk, fuck it we ball. Its not a serious AU, its mostly fun on me and my partners end

Silly Warframe x TTCC crossover stuffs I have brewing in my mind since I now have accidentally opened the gates of both my interests and seeing that people actually unironically enjoy the rambles, here is the list of all managers that I associate them with Waframes and what Zariman Focus they'd major in. (Spoiler free! Just saying which warframe they'd use as operators/drifters)
LET'S GO!
Derrick Man | William Boar
William in my honest opinion would be a Lavos. Lavos in itself is a mish-mash of defense and support, given that William gives off the vibe of someone who would use his body as protection while using potions (or oil in this case) to boost his team mates. William's focus, however, is Naramon. Tactic and whimsical, despite how stern he is as a person.
L.A.A | Alton S. Crow
Alton aka Mr. BIG STEPPY is going to HAVE to be Rhino. While he's a twig, 100% would go for the build of a Rhino JUST BECAUSE of how strong and powerful his steps are. I'm sure if you bonk his Rhino enough his true body will flop out and you can just kick the guy around like a nerd. (I say this with affection.)
An Unairu by heart. He'll assume the best of himself and believe you have what it takes to take down his economy build.
P.R.R | Winston Byrd
Nyx by the automatic. Mind games? Absolutely. There is no way you wouldn't put him in the position as the psychological warfare. Unpredictable, cunning, and uncertain, Winston would definitely use his mind game at the max. (Maybe he's gotten thrown out of existence due to the void overtaking his sanity from the get-go too, honestly. Maybe that's why he's a little looney.) Madurai is what he would be, though with a twist. While most Madurai are known to be brawns over brains, he actually uses that exact brain to demolish his enemies from inside-out.
Duck Shuffler | Buck Ruffler
Zephyr! Mostly because Zephyr is a bird-related Warframe. He'd be the kind of person to swoop from the heavens and raise the stakes of piercing down his enemies with either the beak or talon. He's all about being unpredictable, and of course risking a lot to gain far too little. Another Madurai, simply because he's going in head on!
Deep Diver | Mary Anna
Hydroid, of course! Just like the Warframe itself, she's all about being in the deep-levels of things. Of course, this was a match made in heaven, especially given that they both would enjoy the aquatic life in things such as Neptune's water ecosystem! A vazarin as well, given Mary's need to learn her opponents and as well understand the weak points of an enemy.
Gatekeeper | Holly Grayelle
Styanax, the embodiment of protection and being the knight of everyone's story. Although a different time frame, I'm certain she'd still pick this Warframe simply because of the fact that it represents a true warrior. In her eyes, she believes she is no different. An Unairu for the fact she doesn't step down her place.
Mouthpiece | Belle Dama
Trinity! A supporter, but also a hefty fighter. She can help aid her allies while absolutely DEMOLISHING her enemies. She is wise, given her more in-depth experience in combat than most of the others. And Vazarin, for sure!
Firestarter | Flint Bonpyre
Ember, specifically. He, of course, is far more passive in this team comparing to most. Though at the same time, if it comes to the safety of those he care for, then he will absolutely smite his enemies in the burning hell fires to make sure no one gets killed. (Even if it means he himself gets into the crossfire.)
Naramon, mostly because he's anxious at times but still very much studies what he can against his enemies.
Treekiller | Spruce Campbell
Closest I can say is a Vauban. I would've said Loki, or Oberon, but he is NOT a nature fella. And plus, he can come up with useful tools all while using up materials when necessary. Perhaps he may be on good terms with the Grineer for his hatred of nature? Steel Meridian is definitely buddy-buddy with Spruce. Another Madurai!
Bellringer | Benjamin Biggs
I'd like to think maaaybe a Banshee? It's a mish-mash, honestly between either a Banshee for him always being a loud speaker on gossip, or Ash to "go rogue" and eavesdropping on people. I can confirm though that he is Zenurik!
Featherbedder | Tawney C. Esta
Surprisingly, I see Tawney as a stone-hard Atlas. I'm not sure about them yet, honestly! But I'm sitting on the fence of Atlas, mostly because of the leer that Atlas possesses. A petrifying gaze of Tawney is possible enough, and they have the guts of an Unairu!
Prethinker | Brian [REDACTED]
Xaku! Xaku is the possession of multiple Warframes alike, thinking in one mind much like how Brian does with his jockeys. With the abilities of a mind hive, Brian is a Zenurik!
Rainmaker | Misty Monsoon
You would think I'd pick Yareli for Misty because of the water abilities, but I see her as a Wisp! Yareli is more of an attack-goer, but Wisp suits best in Misty's supportive and skittish behavior. Vazarin by the automatic!
Witch Hunter | Prester Virgil
Harrow! Even if he is meant to sacrifice his own defense for the sake of others, Prester would do it for the sake of defeating the greater evil in which he seeks as filth. Another violent and hostile Madurai, if you ask me.
Multislacker | Cathal
Grendel is what I see as best-choice for someone like Cathal. I'm certain Cathal also happens to be the type of Operator that prefers to work best at his own pod, hidden away while his Grendel is out and about consuming his enemies. He is an Unairu.
Major Player | Dave BruBot
OCTAVIA! It's obvious that as a Warframe of music, of COURSE Dave would aim for one as such. Just even hearing smooth jazz in the dark hallways has never felt so much more dangerous when it comes to the skill of Dave's combat. Dave gives me a more Zenurik vibe.
Plutocrat | Cosmo Kuiper + The Satellites
A man as cold Cosmo, you're destined to see him with a Frost at hand! His strong wield of ice within his hands is what brings him the best strength. And not all, but he has a Railjack that has The Satellites as his crewmen that manage around the ship. While they do not possess their own Warframes, they are useful in defense and attack as Corpus crewmates. Cosmo is a Vazarin!
Chainsaw Consultant | Chip Revvington
Chroma is as versatile and hostile as Chip himself can be. A Warframe difficult to adjust to, but Chip tries his best in order for him to maintain his own inner rage as a Tenno. An Unairu, if you squint real hard despite the Madurai elements.
Pacesetter | Graham Ness Payser
WE ALL know this because of the fact I have been drawing him nonstop in this AU, but he's a GAUSS CERTIFIED USER! A Madurai as well! And of course, because he's also got them Sellbot elements, he half-works with the Corpus.
