The last panel of my lil comic, Roathe kinda looks like a cat making biscuits... and so this was born.
Lyon and Roathe are just cats being cats and now you've seen it you will never unsee it.

Okay so fair warning this post contains both spoilers about everyones favourite priest and a liberal dusting of speculation because I don't know all the facts just yet. I'll try to keep it as light as I can on the spoiler front but there is one or two big ones in here from his dates so read at your own risk.
One of the first things I noticed about Lyon when I got his Gemini skin and had a proper chance get a good look at him is he has Polycoria- multiple irises and pupils (Just like my Operator and Drifter) and I have a theory as to why the serum did that to him.
The obvious part is Lyon has the Harrow strain and base Harrow has two optics on the right side of his face. There are two main ways this desgin could've been translated to him as a protoframe. 1. give him actual multiple eyes on the right side of his face (biblically acurate angel style) or 2. A more subtle way to do it which they did here was to give him Polycoria. One eye, 2 irises/pupils in this case to reflect his batch, which is a really neat design detail.
Now here's where the speculation part comes in what if Lyon has Polycoria not just because he's Harrow but because he literally has one eye here in the present and one "eye" that sees into in the void? It's a very nice bit of subtle visual storytelling if thats actually the reason. (Which I doubt) Also a bit of a potential nod towards the dualism of Sol and Lua. And the many aspects of each and how they tie in to Lyons powers and personality
Lyon has "visions" from the void and doesn't appear to experience time in the same way we do. If you wanna get technical about it they're not exactly visions in the traditional sense they're more akin to psychic imprints courtesy of the void from what was said in one of his dates.
He can see imprints of the past, what's happening presently in his anchored time point, potentially the future and whatever hinky shit the void tosses out. It all just runs together for him because of his time spent with Rell and the original Harrow holding vigil beside them, time was timeless in that place. Lyon has his proveribal 3rd eye wrenched open by the void which is why the poor thing gets debilitating migranes from experiencing everything happening at the same time.
Speculation and spoilers aside though I do like the aspects of visual storytelling in Lyons design as well as the little nods to the stories about Sol and Lua he tells us which seem to shape some aspects of his personality and design.
If you've made it this far thank you for coming to my ted talk. I tried very hard not to the the audhd derail me too badly- (I don't think I quite succeeded but here we are.)
Now the update has dropped and I've had a little bit of time to play around (and wait out the worst of some truly hilarious if more than a little frustrating bugs) let's see some side by sides
Esra before and Atfer TOP
Esarin Before and After TOP
DE knew exactly what they were doing when they decided this was the way they were gonna introduce the prime vanguard fight. God damn
Now I've introduced Esra time to do the blorbo introduction part 2 electric boogaloo Esarin, once again courtesy of one Albrecht Entrati and his ridiculous stalking tendencies
Name: Esarin Monesis-Beckett
Callsign: Cerberus
Sex: Female
Height: 5’3”
Age: 24 (approximately)
Hair Colour: Purple gradient fading into pink at the ends
Eye colour: Heterochromatic purple-pink. (Left eye: Pink centre, Purple ring around iris. Right Eye: Purple center, Pink ring around Iris)
Description: pale, Short statured human with pointed ears when veiled by the void. Long hair braided down her back with prominent facial tattoos. Possesses luminous magenta/purple energy that presents as smoke like flames. Twin scars on left cheek. Lightning scars across back, back of thighs, rippling burn scars like light reflecting off water over feet and up her legs, heavy scarring around neck, wrists and ankles, large scar through the center of her chest from her numerous impalements. Appearance and personality wise Esarin is 1:1 a carbon copy of Esra, even if the years trapped in Duviri after her death at the hands of Ballas during her failed rescue attempt of the Lotus in the beginning of the war have made her more cynical, sassy and more heavily scarred.
Esarin's slightly more angelic appearance (she's accidentally scared various members of The Hex more than once like this)
Duviri: After Ballas killed her the void opened and the Kingdom of Duviri was formed. Of all of Duviri's spirals Lodun's Anger and Sythel's Fear spiral left the most profound marks upon Esarin resulting iridescent lightning scars and burn scars. After many spirals Esra began to forget her name believing she was unworthy of it for failing to save the Lotus spiralling deeper into apathy, as far as she was concerned that child died and should remain dead. With help from Teshin and Velos when he did finally turn up on the shores of Duviri was unable to move on his own Esra finally broke free of Thrax's bonds and was use transference again. Void abilites now returned to her Velos named her Esarin after a goddess of death, compassion and rebirth in his clade’s culture. She was no longer a nameless Drifter.
The New War: After escaping Duviri Esarin, walked into a system on fire under the narmer regime, she recovered the dying eidolon of The Lotus and went about restoring her. Keeping the moniker Drifter she set about breaking veils and disrupting Narmer operations. She joined forces with Hunhow and Stalker to take down The Archons and board Praghasa the sun killer, she defeated Ballas and restored the Lotus earning her title as Champion.
The Hex: Her introduction to 1999 left much to be desired, after the reactor incident and the loop began she initially struggled to adjust and open up to the Hex apart from Amir and Eleanor. Eventually though she began to open up and get along with the others, however her and Arthur often argued with eachother. After a mission gone wrong where Arthur accused her of not knowing how to do her job and protect civilians it escalated to the point Esarin finally snapped and using a mixture of Atchen's empathic, oneirokinetic, phobokenetic and umbrakinetic abilites and transference pulled him into her mind and showed him exactly what she went through during the wars crushing him under her emotions. Unfortunately for her Eleanor was also in range of her abilites and the Nyx protoframes own powers projected Esarin's memories to all members of the Hex. Arthur had night terrors for 3 days straight. After this incident Esarin panicked and fled from the mall hiding out in Entrati's old labs. After a week of searching for her Amir was the one to find her and bring her back to the mall.
This incident was the turning point for her and Arthur to finally learn to trust one another. Esarin and Amir clicked instantly and formed a fast friendship that eventually turned romantic, with some guidance and alot of teasing from Quincy. Their relationship became public after the successfully stopping the reactor and the others had time to recover.
Atchen finally appeared in 1999 a year after the reactor incident, The Hex started to get strange reports from both Scaldra and civilians alike and went to investigate but before they could actually find them Atchen found them first, they even stalked Quincy for his entire patrol, setting the sniper on edge before following him back into the mall for a very tearful and enthusiastic reunion with their mates. And so began the awkward mating dance part 2 electric boogaloo.
The arrival if the round table was a surpise but Esairn easily connected with Flare and Lizzie helping them come to an understanding. Velimir and Minerva were a bit of a conundrum for her, but she was determined to help them find their daughter and ended up playing accidental marriage counselor along the way, successfully bringing the couple together again. It wasn't exactly a smooth journey though, while she settled almost instantly with Velimir her and Minverva took a long time to stop bristling at eachother, there were multiple incidents where they almost came to blows and Esarin had to be restrained and carried into the back room to calm down before the mall imploded. Esarin might have also put the fear of god into Minerva... and if it wasn't for the others she probably would've killed her after the spy in a moment anger was particularly cruel and hit a very sore subject. She gave her night terrors for a month straight afterwards, Velos and Atchen were particularly hostile, with Atchen in shadow form stalking Minerva and playing mindgames with her like her own personal sleep paralysis demon, Velos who's usually the most laid back and the voice of reason growling and sending errant arcs of lightning to snap at her and even usually sweet friendly Amir was unusally Cold in the aftermath. But once the pair of them finally got past the others walls they settled into a respectful friendship.
Kaya and Esarin had a bit of a rocky start but Esarin immediately clocked the teens damage having been through the same thing and recognised her self defense mechanisims, not taking it personally. She easily navigated Kaya's mistrust and hostility and became friends with her. They play jinnymon together every week.
Additional Notes:
Esarin is a bit of a questionable rider and totals her tommy at once a month.
Void angels are always singing, Esarin is no different, her song doesn't drive people to madness and turn them into void angels though. Her void song is unique to her and is influenced by her emotions. She tends to make herself small enough to hide in Amir's gear pouches, roost in the infirmary and sing to Lettie's patients. Soothing them and helping them heal faster.
Atchen is a soft touch where kids are concerned and uses their powers to entertain and distract them with shadow puppets and elaborate illusions/dreams. They also eat the kids nightmares so they sleep soundly in the mall. (On the flipside they tend to make their displeasure with people known by projecting their emotions, often causing horrific night terrors, delusions, inducing severe panic attacks, berserker rages, psychosis and paranoia.)
After a particularly restless night Esarin went out and stole a hell scrubber, took it apart and holed up in the back room for 3 days straight to build a new prototype hell scrubber from her voidsteel feathers, the voidsteel of course was far more resistant to the techrot, actually repelling it. The prototype was smaller and more portable than the original hell scrubbers. It made hell scrubs alot easier.
Esarin utilises her void angel abilities to help create more supplies for the Hex where she can, it's especially helpful to Lettie to have more medical supplies. it also comes with the upside of thoroughly annoying Viktor when she regulary eats her way through his ferrocite barricades and his tanks. The downside is it leaves her exhausted having to trasmute various materials and she needs time to recover the mass amount of energy she burns through.
After some trial and error Esarin managed to configure her foundry to replicate most of the common medicines Lettie uses in the infirmary.
Esarin is Lizzie's second favourite person in the world next to Flare and the only one who can pick her up and play her whenever she likes. (She's also the only one who can sneak her questionable junk food and not lose an eyebrow to Flare)
Thanks to Kaya most of Esarins stuff is marked with chromatic peely pix so she always knows what/where everything is.
Amir proposed on New Years Eve 2 loops after the reactor incident. Esarin, Velos Amir and Atchen got married on June 21st (summer solstice) Flare and Aoi were in charge of the music, the happy polycute's first dance song was For The Dancing And The Dreaming. (Fitting seeing as Esarin is the "dreamer" and Atchen Amir and Velos are all "dancers")
Quincy was the first to notice Esarin Amir and Velos dance around eachother- he couldn't tell who was making more flustered hopelessly attracted to and denying it eye contact between the three of them. (It was Amir) He even found him passed out in Velos arms while the warframe purred very smugly about it.
Atchen is not what you'd call friendly in any form of the word, they very much embody the spirit their batch was created after. Amir seems to be a bit of an exception to this and appears to be somewhat immune to Atchen's typical unsettling aura.
Atchens unsettling demeanor is absolutely a front and they are very sweet underneath, if a little anxious with some serious attachtment issues. They're also more than a little possessive/overprotective of people they consider theirs. They like to hide In Esarin and Amir's shadow especially.
Atchen hums and bleats when nervous, it is the most unexpectedly cute set of noises to come out of a 9 foot warframe. Amir makes Atchen very nervous, cause he is very sweet and they don't want to scare him away. The first time he heard them bleat was when he hugged them he thought it was the most adorable thing ever while poor Atchen was blue screening.
One time Amir was benched after he got hurt in a scaldra ambush and both Esarin and Velos were out on patrol so he was more than a little bit anxious. Atchen hid in Amir's shadow and purred to him the entire time to keep him calm and make him feel better (they also menaced the hell out of anyone trying to go near the arcade while Amir was in there)
Seeing as I've recently shown off my hot messes, I figured it's time to actually introduce them properly on here. This is the first half of the introduction so I'll be talking about Esra. I'll preface a few things first to hopefully make this make a bit more sense.
Thing to know the first- Esra and Esarin are the exact same person from the same branch of eternalisim, so the new war, Duviri and everything that happened after went a little differently. Esra is the child that died (again) and became the champion.
Second thing- The warframes are sentient here and can move/function independently of their tenno. They do have their "human" names as well as their warframe designation. For the sake of this post though Velos refers to Volt Prime. Atchen is another very important warframe (They're a wendigo warframe oc that belongs to my friend the lovely Finnik-kun here on tumblr) I'll probably do a meet the warframes post at a later date if anyone's interested in some lore for them.
So without further ado let's read some of Albrecht's stolen classified notes
I figured I'd jump on the band wagon and show off my Operator and Drifter before the old peace updates. So here's Operator Esra and Drifter Esarin
I can't wait to see how they look when the update drops (pray for my sanity when I play through all the repayable cinematic quests to get some proper screen shots)
So uhh I was playing Warframe and got hit with a wild ass realisation. Warframe 1999 is basically Resident Evil.
Hear me out,
Wf 1999 is basically a city trapped in an apocalyptic post plague outbreak, right?
Put Höllvania in place of Racoon City, Scaldra standing in as Umbrella's soldiers, the techrot in place of the zombies. You seeing it yet?
Albrecht aka Doktor Friday is basically Dr James Marcus- the creator of the T-Virus, only in this case the T in T-virus stands for Technocyte instead of Tyrant. He engineered this virus to infect the Hex and all of Höllvania.
The Hex standing in as S.T.A.R.S trying to keep the survivors safe while they square off with Scaldra and the Techrot
And Drifter? They're clueless rookie cop Leon Kennedy starting his first day in Racoon City. Having zero clue what's about to happen and trying to find his way around this new city, getting the lay of the land and stuff just to get thrust head first into a literal zombie apocalypse.
1999 is literally the start of Resident Evil 2
Some doodles of Atchen I finally got to uwu
Atchen is an adorable murder bean fren
My sleep deprived ass decided to work on my wendigo based warframe (am Native American don’t yell at me)
And DE strikes again with the mythology and name meanings. I suppose they have to keep to the theme they set up? Either way I love the subtle story telling and hints to the characters personalities or quirks.
Let's start with Rusalka's adoptive mother Minerva- they named this woman after the literal roman Goddess of wisdom and war. She seems to very much embody her namesake, analytical, cunning, strong willed, driven, (some of her personality flaws are also apparent right off the bat too) Correct me if im wrong here but from what I've seen on stream Minerva was more than just Neci's mother figure she was also her mentor - along side Velimir- and from what little we've seen so far of our new Saryn protoframe, Neci personality wise at least seems to take more after her than her father figure Velimir.
Speaking of Velimir (and no I will not go off the rails and talk about how everyone on that couch and in the chat is chronically dehydrated for our Frost protoframe) His name means great leader or one who wishes for great peace. He appears to be the more friendly of the couple, I'm under no illusions though while he's seemingly more personable, laid back and compassionate, he's just as dangerous (maybe more so)- observant, driven and stubborn as his wife. They appear to have complete opposite but no less effective MO's and leadership styles
I can't wait to do their arc and learn more about them both as individuals and a couple. (And how DE plans to resolve Rusalka's storyline) Their presence makes for some complicated and nuanced story lines as well as potential conflicts of interest between them (again individually and as a couple) , The Drifter and The Hex.
I saw a comment on Reddit along the lines of "Amir yaps too much during Scaldra Hellscrubber" and well that's a skill issue on your part random Reddit user. Maybe you should do a better job with the objective. Me? I edge the Hellscrubbers on purpose and let my life support get low SPECIFICALLY to hear Amir's yapping. We are not the same.
Okay, are we entirely sure Albrecht didn't use some form of Cavia protocol on Kalymos? She doesn't talk but she is far too intelligent for a normal kavat.
We know from Loid something happened to Kalymos, she suddenly got super sick and then poof! like nothing ever happened, she got better again and became more than she was.
Even Loid himself doesn't know if that is the original Kalymos or if she's a modified clone of her. Still the fact that it's brought up leads me to believe she is a clone. Otherwise, why mention it at all?
It still doesn't explain what happened in the first place though. Animals don't spontaneously get sick and not in the way Loid is implying she was. So did Albrecht use her as a sort of test run to see if the Cavia plan was viable? See if she could travel in the void with him? Void exposure would certainly explain a few things. Kalymos isn't like any kavat in existence, she appears to have some very interesting powers. She transcends space and time and hops around the void with Albrecht. So that also begs the question why is she here? Why did she stay in 1999 and not run with Albrecht.
ok but "not my type" was so fucking funny for Entrati to say. who taught him that. proof that you cannot expose gay men to the 90s without them spontaneously realigning via molecular polymorph into a Will and Grace extra.
Even the hundreds of years old space gays have to assimilate their sass to the relevant time for the greatest impact
I want to hold Amir's face and pepper him with kisses. I want to hold him close, rub his back, and play with this hair as he falls asleep. I want my Drifter to be soft to him.
Angels aren't beautiful~
So Pick A Side just dropped and honestly it's been permanently renamed in my brain as Rage Against The Indifference. You can't tell me you don't hear it too. And now you're thinking about it, you can't unhear it. So thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
