Gauss

Lore & Background

Like many of his kind, Gauss fell into dormancy following the Fall of the Orokin and the Void's corruption. He remained dormant within the depths of space until the Tenno awoke him from his slumber. Reclaiming his purpose under the Tenno's will, he now channels that ancient kinetic potential to protect the Origin System, proving that speed is not just movement, but survival.

In Their Own Story

The enemy never saw the flash before it was too late. Gauss did not walk; he existed in the spaces between moments. A laser fired from a distance froze in mid-air as time dilated around him, slowing to a crawl while his own heart beat like a war drum. He closed the gap in a heartbeat, magnetic boots locking onto the hull of an enemy ship before tearing it apart with kinetic force.

Reader's Guide

Gauss serves as the Tenno's ultimate speedster, focusing on mobility and momentum-based combat. His kit revolves around converting movement into power, allowing players to dash through enemies while building energy for devastating attacks. His abilities manipulate magnetic fields to create shields from damage or accelerate his own velocity beyond normal limits. The defining moment of his gameplay is the ability to slow time relative to the battlefield, creating a window where he moves instantly while foes struggle to react. Narratively, Gauss represents the Orokin ambition for perfection in motion. He does not fight with brute strength but with overwhelming speed, making him ideal for players who prefer aggressive, fast-paced strategies over stationary defense.
