queer autistic tenno supremacy

The Aster that would be rescued from the Zariman was initially an eccentric precocious child. He held fantastical and profound ideas about the nature of things. He considered the ambitious thinkers of the Entrati family to be his role models, after all. By all indications, Aster had a bright future ahead of him, a future that was quickly dashed against the rocks by the Zariman Disaster.

Just as many of his fellow Zariman survivors (all children), Aster received an arcane boon from the void, granting him eldritch abilities. The children were all eventually rescued, only to remain in a sort of limbo whilst the Orokin decided what was to be done with these void devils. It was discovered that the children (now called Tenno) could be used to control bio=mechanical drones known as Warframes

With this revelation, the Tenno became honor-bound warriors in service to Orokin. Over time, they developed their own culture, art, and schools of thought and science. Through all of this, Aster continued his studies. The Orokin Empire had been embroiled in an interstellar war with the Sentient beings from the Tau system. These Sentients were ultimately creations of the Orokin, and Aster became fascinated with them. He absorbed as much information as he could about them,. In battle, he observed their behavior, and after witnessing one Sentient individual mourn the loss of a comrade, Aster came to realize that these beings he had been so curious about were perhaps not so different from humanity. At the time, this was considered blasphemous thought, so the boy did not speak on it.

To Aster's great relief, a truce had been declared in the Orokin-Sentient War. The Orokin and Tenno were welcomed to the distant binary star system of Tau, the home of the Sentients. There, the fledgling Tauron Academy was established in good faith within the good faith of cultural and scientific exchange. Aster was one of the Tenno to be involved in the academy. There, he took part in Caliban Prime Project, where he fulfilled the role of lab assistant and field tester. He would pilot the Caliban Prime frames into live battle to ensure they were functioning as expected.

Aster's time at the academy lead to him developing close friendships with the Sentients, former sworn enemies. He'd emerse himself in their culture, learned their beliefs and took part in their rites. He found a new mentor in the sagacious Archimedean Itzam, who encouraged Aster in his endeavors at the academy and in life. All of this made it so much more painful for Aster when the truce suddenly collapsed, and the Sentients were condemned to be bloom-starved.

With the war back on, the Tenno and Orokin forces fled the Tau system. Each of the Tenno were sequestered on Earth's moon, Lua, wherein they were placed into somatic stasis, a procedure that was to be known as the Second Dream. This action taken by Archimedean Margulis, the caretaker of the Tenno, lead to her sentencing to execution.

Following the execution of Margulis, her lover, Executor Ballas, defected to the Sentients. in exchange, Ballas gave away the secret location of the Tenno. A massive Sentient incursion lead by the Sentient Hunhow and his son Erra was launched upon Lua. During the action, Aster's current Warframe was destroyed, and the trauma of this event threw the boy into a deeper level of unconsciousness within his somatic stasis, one that he would not wake from until long after the Orokin Empire fell.

Following the costly victory of the Orokin Empire in what would become known as The Old War, the Tenno turned on their masters, slaughtering almost all of them and bringing their rule to an end. The Tenno then entered a aeon-spanning dormancy known as the Long Sleep. Untold millennia later, they would be re-awoken by the Lotus, who had cared for them after the loss of Margulis. They found themselves within Warframe bodies once more with no understanding of their true bodies now hidden in the Void.

Without a Warframe to return to, Aster's subconscious wandered Lua within the Void, like a ghost in search of substance of being. It was only with the shock of Lua falling out of the Void that Aster's being detected a familiar presence... a sensation he had buried the meaning of. A transference signature. His mind was drawn to it, leading him to a discarded Caliban Warframe, a crude mockery of the Caliban Prime frames he had once worked with in Tau. It had been created by Erra, and abandoned once the assault on Lua had failed. Without its controller, Aster was able to achieve transference with Caliban and pilot it.

It wasn't long after that Aster was awoken from the Second Dream alongside the other Tenno. With his new Warframe, he sought to make his way through an Origin System he no longer recognized, guided by The Lotus. He traveled the system, wherever he was needed, but in his own time, he continued to look into the Sentients. What had happened to them after the War? The Orokin were gone... Was there any need for more fighting between bios and machine? Some Sentients still remained in the Origin System... could they be healed? Would that make up for everything that had happened between them? Aster had to know....
