there's fire in her veins, a searing kind of agony that ripples through her frame. she is always burning, always pain, always roaring red flames. the world is scarlet steel and she screams and flings herself against it. her skin is wrong, shot through with silver. too tough. too strong. wrong. wrong. wrong.

we are at war, Amarion. you will be a vessel of our salvation. our fire. our eternal flame.

you are Ember.

Okay but were they called Tenno before the events of the Zariman? I’m unclear on this. 

I’d always assumed that “Tenno” was the thing because the ship was the Zariman Ten-Zero (10-0)? Because clever nicknames yes good?

But if Tenno were Tenno before the Zariman, then I’m just confused.

Unless the Zariman happened, and Tenno were all retroactively labeled as such???

the Tenno must flow like water through a battlefield but he takes a step and the ground caves beneath his heel. he remembers strength, red blood in red veins and then a careful voice - Ballas, that traitorous bastard Ballas - and this, this pulsing power ripping through his frame and contorting muscle and bone. and then the world is so fragile and the Orokin are so small and when he finally stumbles to his feet he shadows his former self.

the rhinoceros was one of the strongest animals to roam ancient Earth. as the old was, so shall be the new. you are Rhino Prime. our fierce warrior. our fortress.

tenno politics - lets start a dialogue

it’s 12 am. I have thoughts.  

do you ever think about the politics around tenno? these are child soldiers, but not everyone knows that. tenno are expected to either be violent monsters or saviors, but thats it. fate of the system is in the hands of them whether they like it or not. either because the lotus forced them to or because thats the expectation from most peaceful civilizations. like how many of these kids didn't wanna be heroes?

how many tenno, as soon as they remembered they were human beings who were unwillingly given supernatural powers and shoved into a biotech suit, decided to drop their weapons and pursue a more domestic, peaceful life? like not all of us are made of the fabric it takes to be a galactic savior. then it goes onto whether other tenno see the 'peaceful' tenno as cowards or traitors. is it ethical to force a tenno to keep fighting simply because they have the means to?

some questions to consider

1. is it right to expect the tenno to keep fighting, even if they themselves never wanted to in the first place? 2. are defect tenno traitors / cowards if they pursue a different lifestyle?

3. would any civilization the defects settle in expect the tenno to still behave as their personal heroes? (ex. if a tenno settled as a fisherman on cetus)

4. are the people who know that the tenno were unwilling participants in the old war and warframe project, such as teshin and ordis (who was forced into his role as well), part of the problem? 

5.  obviously lotus had her own motivations, but now that she’s out of the picture, what’s keeping tenno from forging their own paths?

now that’s not to say that it’s WRONG to be a hero and genuinely wanna save the system. there’s obviously a great need for change in the origin system, and tenno seem to the be only ones who stand a chance. I’m sure there’s many tenno who take the fight very seriously and would want nothing better. but not every child is made of the same mold. not every child has the same dream.
