@@notsoneonkinda twitched my eye, like a total lack of integrity?!

[@tomd96]

Xaku doesn't really have a specific gender because they're made up of multiple warframes, so pronouns for a singular person don't make sense. Calling them "they/them" as a group is technically correct because it is plural, they are more than one person. As opposed to calling someone "they/them" because they are a singular person that looks ambigious. Nezha is joked about often because they look feminine. Most of the male warframes are very masculine. The term that gets people banned while talking about them is for very good reason, it's derogatory. Nezha is explicitly stated to be referred to as he/him so there is no ambiguity there. Calling them that derogatory term is implying you are being misled, which isn't the case. I feel like the Warframe staff take it much too seriously. Warframes crafted at the foundry have no implicit gender because they had no host to begin with. However, it is very obvious what body type they are based on. But if it keeps the actual malicious people from really upsetting people, I guess it's justified.

Something to clear up on Garuda, it's a male in Hindu mythology and also a vehicle to Vishnu who is the preserver of the universe (sort of like a maintainer). Just to add so clarification on the vehicle part, all gods have vehicles which are usually just animals (Garuda being the only exception I know of) they use as a mode of transport long distances some examples are a donkey, an elephant, and a mouse. This is all off the top of my head that my dad told me about a while ago, so cut me some slack for minor inaccuracies & if you want more Hindu facts feel free to comment I'll answer to the best of my ability, but I'm not as knowledgeable with Hindu mythology as my dad or Wikipedia is.

Another fact about Gara: Apparently Gara was the only person who willingly became a warframe

[@swapertxking]

Two things 1) I actually was there during the tail end of the closed beta period, I saw many people use the Loki exploit since you could get places and made it impossible for enemies to hurt the cryopod. 2) if my memory serves me right, Oberon was the first warframe to monotype a combined element, which was radiation, since the only other elemental monotype frames were frost and ember. And before anyone says anything, og mag didn’t do magnetic damage with her shield drain skill, she just dropped enemy shields. Bonus fact not for warframes: The Seargant is one of the oldest bosses in the game with the least changes, I think Captain and Corrupted Vor are the only other 2. Also rip to J3 who was replaced with Jordas, and orange Alad V who was replaced with blue Alad V then corrupted Alad V

Another couple facts for Nezha. Those who knew the origins of Nezha's name would have known his gender immediately as Nezha is the name of a protection deity in Chinese mythology. Also frequently referred to as "the third lotus prince", he's almost always depicted appearing more feminine, often with his hair in buns. As for my other fact: Nezha's empyrean skin is actually named after the Empyrean Heaven, believed in geocentric theory to be the highest heaven, located beyond the celestial spheres and occupied by the element of Fire. In Christian and Muslim mythologies, the Empyrean Heaven is also believed to be the highest heaven, the place where God himself lives

[@RexRagerunner]

Also on Octavia, Her idle animations are Mo-capped by DE Danielle Correction on Trinity: Her name comes from both things you mentioned instead of it being either one or the other. She is both made after the concept of Trinity and can Deal damage, Heal and Tank with the damage reduction from her 3 and 4 at the same time and she is made to complete the Trinity of gaming in Warframe which being, Healer, Tank, DPS by being the first healer in the game and the only healer among the original 6 Warframes. Also on Harrow, Thurible is the name of his exalted flail he swings around when he uses his abilities, its a flail which also acts as a censer, aka. an actual thurible. Also on Equinox, When Equinox came out, it was revealed that Equinox was the combination of the Female Night form and the Male Day form and that it had no gender. But as they wanted to open up a Chinese server and the fact that Chinese religion sees two genders being in one body is a sign of devil and that its unacceptable, they had to retcon it so now, the game refers to both forms as female. She just becomes muscular at day form and elegant at night form. If you use way back machine to enter the now unavailable reveal page of Equinox, Equinox is constantly referred to as "They". So, technically speaking, Xaku isn't the only Warframe in the game with no gender. Also on Lavos, This was the first patch where Reb did "the stream right before the mainline patch" thing instead of Steve. As Reb was talking about what is coming in the patch, she started talking about the development of Lavos and during it, Steve sent a message to her, asking her to mention that Lavos' development name was Edward, referencing to the main character of the anime Full Metal Alchemist. Reb says it out loud while laughing as to explain why her phone made a noise since it was close to her pc and her mic picked up the vibration sound the phone made. We currently don't know if this was a joke or not since alot of people seemingly missed her saying this in the stream so noone asked them if this is actually real or not. Also on Atlas, 1 - His development name was Brawler. 2 - With the release of Atlas Prime, they wanted to test primed interactions which they seemingly dropped. So, currently Atlas is the only warframe with primed signature weapon interaction. He gets more status chance from the signature weapon interaction if he uses Tekko Prime instead of Tekko and also if I'm not wrong, if he is Atlas or Atlas prime. He gets up to 32% status chance if he is both Atlas Prime and using Tekko Prime.

Since this video has been released, I'll add Citrine and Kullervo myself: 1. Citrine is a real mineral variant of quarts. Citrine's original design featured purple geodes instead of the yellow/golden shade we have today. A real citrine is yellowish/golden, but commercially made citrines are heat-treated amethysts which are purple turned gold. The devs ended up with the golden shade because citrine is golden. Unconfirmed if intentional or not, probably not, Dagonic and Heciphron are in-game resources found on Deimos and in the right shade of Citrine's golden geode, which are close to where you actually find Citrine's parts on Mars. Despite that, they are not required to build Citrine. Instead you need Faceted Tiametrite, Stellated Necrathene and Argon Crystal, all are shades of purple. 2. We get in game-lore as to what crimes Kullervo was held against and why he was imprisoned. The numerus daggers stuck in his body suggests that there might actually be more to the punishment: a fate only shared by the Drifter: "Death by IMPALEMENT!" (repeated).

The way I see it. This is just my belief and speculation. The are sentient to a degree. But they are in a coma/sleep like state. Because when one gets turned into a Warframe. It’s a painful and traumatic experience. They can see their bodies being used. But it’s like watching TV while being sleepy/being high. Where as Tenno give their bodies energy because of we are literal batteries of Void Energy. The only exception of course is Umbra. But Ballas did a lot of tweaking on Umbra so I can’t explain about him as much because I don’t know.

@@andrewseet4408 oh so the Operators aren't controlling them they're just giving them full and when they come into a mission the reason they stop moving is because there have basically been unplugged

[@wyseman6143]

The process that turned the dax warriors into warframes shatters their mind, the operator is able to commune with the frames broken mind and "pilot" it. Umbra is the exception to this because his rage let him partially keep his sapience. I believe there are more than one of each frame, they were created to be weapons that fought all over our system, having only 50 soldiers is a terrible idea if trying to win a war.

another fun fact, the design of chroma as suggested by his development name dragon, is most likely based on the chromatic dragons in Dungeons and Dragons. In D&D there are the metalic dragons, and the chromatic dragons, with the chromatic dragons being the evil ones, and the colour of dragon often determines not only the personality of the dragon, but also the type of element affinty they had and which element they could use for their breath weapon, which matches the elemental types chroma can use. Red for fire, blue for lighting, green for poison and white for cold. The only one missing of the main chromatic dragons is the black dragon which could breath acid, but given that you would have to give him corrosive damage, which is a combined element it kinda make sense.

[@llbonkll]

Okay that’s way better then my fact

[@NiladonGrey]

@@llbonkllanother fact about chroma, is without his effigy (at least for the normal variant’s default design) he resembles the Dark Sector enemy of the same name, which warframe’s the spirtual successor of and another game made by DE, so Chroma is actually one of the few references to Dark Sector in the game

Regarding the "1st frame to fight sentients" thing, Excalibur Prime was actually the first frame made to combat the Sentients. Just read Excal Primes Codex entry.

[@tomd96]

Technically incorrect, the proto warframes were first. The ones that had to be put down because they were driven mad by the helminth used to create them. Now, with WF1999, Arthur was one of the first. Somehow, Albrecht was able to create or take with him the helminth strain into the past and create warframes that are able to remain part human. Creating warframes before even Ballas could discover the process.

[@chrisdufresne9359]

@tomd96 No, per in-game Codex entries. Excalibur Prime entry : "The Sentients had won. They had turned our weapons, our technology, against us. The more advanced we became, the greater our losses. The war was over unless we found a new way. In our desperation, we turned to the Void. The blinding night, the hellspace where our science and reason failed. We took the twisted few that had returned from that place. We built a frame around them, a conduit of their affliction. Gave them the weapons of the old ways. Gun and blade. A new warrior, a new code was born. These rejects, these Tenno, became our saviors. Warrior-Gods cast in steel and furry striking our enemies in a way they could never comprehend. Excalibur was the First"

Have a nitpick or two: Gauss' name likely was chosen because of the gauss rifle which uses electromagnetism to accellerate lunks of metal that deal damage via kinetic impact. Which is why liches he spawns have impact element and it is perfectly fine to mach rush him into every wall. He is the projectile. Rhino has essays of background to pick from. Same applies to Nezha by the way. Garuda, carrier of Vishnu, is depicted as very male. Zephyr is a girl. Nice compilation, tho.

[@GabrielSemicolon]

Cool video. You caught me on not knowing a few of them, but I don't think Leverian, Quest or Fragment lore is appropriate here. Here are some facts that I've gathered over the years, some duplicate from other comments, some more historical, and in no particular structure: -Ash: You can Teleport onto a Blade Storm target to join your duplicates. Also, a previous version of Blade Storm, which many people called a "cutscene", required no manual targeting and always forced Ash to join his clones. I believe he's also the first frame to receive a second deluxe skin. -Atlas: Named after the titan from Greek Mythology. -Banshee: Resonating Quake used to gradually increase range, damage and energy drain while Sound Quake was in use. It was excellent for cheesing starchart defense missions. Her Sound Quake is also one of the few abilities whose rank decreases energy drain. -Baruuk: I can't confirm this, but I swear I've read somewhere that he was themed after some monkey, probably a baboon. -Caliban: Is the first male frame to have a flying animation. -Chroma: His name means "color" in Greek and is shared with a darkSector enemy. Upon release of the Guided Effigy augment, Red Text themselves challenged Zanagoth, a (then) Warframe KZbinr, and his mates to complete a Raid with 8 Guided Effigy Chromas; he delivered not too long after. -Ember: Her 2nd ability, Immolation, is the first case of an ability, at least in concept, being "re-added" to a frame. Immolation replaced Accelerant in 2019, which itself replaced Overheat in 2013, an ability that gave Ember a fire aura and damage reduction. -Equinox: She is the only base frame with non-standard build requirements, requiring two different sets of neuroptics, chassis, systems and "form" blueprints for 156 hours of crafting at minimum. She is also the only base frame that requires a Forma to build. -Excalibur: The icon for Radial Blind is the "placeholder" icon for abilities. -Frost: Frost Prime is the first craftable Prime, and (AFAIK) the only one that had a part drop through a non-standard method; namely, his blueprint was given as a reward for the Fusion Moa event. -Gara: Her default helmet used to be what is now known as the Virago helmet, but they were swapped during development. -Garuda: Her Bathory helmet is most likely based on Elizabeth Bathory, whose story is a bit inappropriate to tell through comments. She was also regarded by DE themselves as the metaphorical "other side of the coin" to Valkyr, representing a more "detached" killer. -Gauss: His alt helmet, named Mag, is a deliberate play on Mag's Gauss helmet. He's also canonically buddies with Grendel and both were planned to release together, but Grendel was delayed to the next update. -Grendel: Has jiggle physics on his belly, especially when it's full. -Gyre: Prompts unique dialogue with Quinn. She's also the 5th frame whose name starts with 'G'. -Harrow: Since Ash and Oberon were damned to Railjack purgatory, Harrow is now the only frame that has a part drop from non-boss enemies. -Hildryn: She's the first frame to not cast from energy. -Hydroid: Famously, Hydroid Prime's trailer was only released 3 years after the Prime itself was released. He was already vaulted by then. -Inaros: He is the first of two frames to have 0 shields, and because of this, Hijack objectives drain his health to move. Inaros Prime prompts unique dialogue from Baro Ki'teer. -Ivara: Her Prime's unique invisibility effect had to be toned down due to reported eye-strain from players. Notably, one of the concepts for her Navigator augment allowed her to teleport to wherever the controlled projectile ended up, but that had to be cut due to concerns with punch-through, I believe. -Khora: Her abilities were originally meant to show off the now-scrapped Damage 2.5, specifically the physical types. You can still see remnants of that on Khora herself when switching Venari's mode: Heal for Slash, Protect for Impact and Attack for Puncture. -Lavos: Named after a very notable chemist, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier. He's also the only frame so far to have a unique "5th power stat", namely status duration. -Limbo: I haven't tested this in a while, but you can softlock yourself as Limbo in any Mobile Defense if you enter Cataclysm, try rolling out of the Rift and insert the lunchbox in a terminal during the few frames where you actually leave. He's also the only frame so far to have an ability become a passive during a rework (namely, his Rift Walk), and the first frame to have unique animations (namely, his roll). -Loki: Can Switch Teleport onto PoE Dargyns. His Decoy changes models to match the caster's frame when infusing it via Helminth, and uses a Lex Prime when cast by a Prime frame. -Mag: She is the single most tweaked and rebalanced frame. Her patch notes probably rival the word count of some small novels. -Mesa: She is referred to as "cowgirl" in the game files. -Mirage: Her Hall of Mirrors's cast animation was added by player request upon the release of the Mirage Prime trailer, where it previously was the same as Eclipse's. -Nekros: Out of every frame whose parts drop from bosses (i.e.: only neuroptics, chassis and systems), Nekros is the only one that has equal odds for every part, where normally the systems drop less frequently. -Nezha: Along with Wukong and Excalibur Umbra, Nezha used to be a China exclusive. His name shares origins with Wukong, being from Journey to the West. -Nidus: He is the first frame with unique HUD elements, namely, his Mutation Stack counter. He's also the reason why your frames have pimples, as he was the only frame that could access the Helminth room before a future update. At that point, the only function of the room was to inject Nidus with the pimple, and, since it wouldn't be removeable until 3 weeks later, the game experienced a fashion-ruining outbreak. -Nova: She is either the shortest frame in the game or "competing" for that spot with Titania. She's also the first frame to receive design input from people outside DE, namely, the Design Council. -Nyx: Her Nemesis skin is most likely a direct reference to the Nemesis armor from darkSector. -Oberon: His parts used to drop from the then weaker Eximus enemies before being banished to Railjack. -Octavia: Notably, has not been nerfed since her release in 2017. In fact, you can argue she has only gotten buffs. -Protea: Was referred to by DE themselves as Vauban's cousin or similar. -Revenant: Reave's ability video still uses the old visual effect where Revenant becomes a mist rectangle. -Rhino: His Prime's face looks like a Void Key. His Prime's Codex entry is also one of the few that differs from the Arsenal's description, containing an entire extensive lore entry. -Saryn: Some of her ability SFXs are actually voice clips performed by [DE]Danielle, the most noticeable of which is probably her Miasma. I believe that she (Saryn) also has the largest bust size out of every frame, according to some post on Reddit. -Sevagoth: His alt helmet, Lucifuge, is probably named after the Prime Minister of Hell from the Grand Grimoire, their own name meaning "disliking the light and sun". -Styanax: As the 50th frame, he has a more "classic" design, both visually and mechanically, but adapted for what the game is today. -Titania: Shares her name with a mission on Uranus, which is also alledgedly mispronounced by DE themselves, according to the Oxford Dictionary. She's also the first frame with flying animations. -Trinity: At several points, her Link could redirect self-damage to enemies, making her a great DPS frame. -Valkyr: I can't find any source on this, but Hysteria was alledgedly nerfed by having its damage reduction deliberately increased to 100% to avoid synergy with the Rage mod. Her Rip Line used to pull players as well, to predictable results. -Vauban: Used to have an ability called Bounce, which deployed a bounce pad with no practical use other than trolling other Tenno. It still exists in spirit as his Vector Pad. -Volt: His passive affects things like fishing poles and mining lasers. Speed also used to drop a pickup that applied Speed to players as opposed to just applying Speed to nearby allies. -Voruna: She was designed in collaboration with Joe Madureira, notable for being the creative director of Darksiders and renowned artist in his own right. -Wukong: His Defy once allowed him to self-revive infinitely, as long as he had energy to spare. Unfortunately, he was garbage then, so you couldn't do anything with that. -Xaku: Since DE follows a strict "2 males, then 2 females" release schedule for Prime frames, it is unclear when Xaku Prime will release and whether or not DE will break their decade-long streak for them specifically. Their general design was suggested by the community, as they're supposed to be the "community-designed" frame after Nova, but I believe the "broken frame" theme was submitted as a meme. -Yareli: Similar to Protea and Vauban's pseudo-canon familial relationship, Yareli and Hydroid are siblings according to [DE]Rebecca. She's also supposed to be the "youngest" frame. -Zephyr: If you click the 'Z' on her appearance tab, you can play a Flappy Bird clone and place on a global leaderboard accessible under Profile in the ESC menu. Her Prime's "feathers" expand when she's airborne.

666 is the mark of the beast. In the Bible, before Jesus Christ's second coming, someone known as the Anti-christ will arise. He will be backed up by the devil himself and will unite the whole world together in a false peace. One government, one religion, and one coin. This new world order will demand people to have a mark placed on their forehead or right hand and no one will be able to buy or sell if they don't have the mark. (Kinda like what happened during the pandemic.) The mark will be the number of the beast, his name, or his symbol. That number is six-hundred-sixty-six.
