Pledge that you will reject the Orokin lie that you, Tenno, are but a weapon for them to wield. Take the better path, and find your true self. Pledge that you will only ever be the honest you, and no one else. Will you accept this honorable journey? Will you discover your full potential, free from Orokin shackles?

There is no hesitation, only a moment to steel himself. “I will,” Ellion declares. He dons the regalia, and pledges himself to a life of mercy. He is tired of the violence and the death. He swears he will become a beacon of peace. This is his path. His destiny. Rising from the tribunal floor, he offers one final bow, then leaves in silence.

Sometimes, Ellion feels like the moon. Two-faced, incomplete, and marred by Orokin beauty. There is the boy, known to others. The face lit by the sun, visible. There is also the boy, hidden to others. The light-starved side, unseen. He clings to the tidal lock. Earth was never meant to see the dark side of Lua. Better to keep it that way.

From the Archives

Last year, around November, I played the Second Dream, or more specifically, I finished it. Obviously, took lots of screenshots, as is evidenced here. However, due to complications with my computer, I was unable to access my screenshot folder for months and months after that. Therefore, this is the first time anyone (including myself) has ever seen this photoset, so it seems fitting I share it on my Warframe-dedicated blog.

That’s Ellion’s original frame; the “Bug Volt”, or Shyedpyyr. That was when Ellion thought he was his frame; that his name is Shyedpyyr. It wasn’t until waking that he remembered his true self, and with that, his real name. I’m feeling a lot of nostalgia looking at these. Bug Volt and his cotton candy palette is just such a sight for sore eyes.

@cephalonseginus @cephalon-celaeno we stayed up late enough to take these shots so I better share them to make it worth it.

In order to do the Chains of Harrow quest, KaitosWinter and I changed our operators’ appearance. Ellion became Regulus, and Kaitos became Moist. Wyn is still Wyn, and they’re lovely as ever. These shots are a replication of another photoshoot the three of us did together:

Pictured, from left to right, is Ellion, Wyn, and Kaitos. I’m certain we’ll take similar pictures in the future as well.

Some reference shots of Ellion’s “moon” look, from the shoulders up. First image  has a filter, the rest are neutral so as to show off the real colors and details properly. I finally got the “key color” captura scene, which is perfect for taking reference shots, so this is probably how I’ll start doing reference photoshoots/photo sets in the future.
