Ability 1: Warp Beacon - Fires a beacon that attaches itself to any surface, inanimate or alive, then, via second input, teleports the user to its location. Between them, the briefly warped space damages enemies and slows them for X seconds.
Ability 2: Orion Radar - The user releases a ping that marks every hostile target, even stealthed ones, in a large radius, tracking their movement and highlighting weak-spots for the user and for all nearby frames, while temporarily boosting the user's damage output and rate-of-fire.
5) Twin Graviton Bolts - From one cannon on each shoulder fire a bolt that slows the target it hits and those within melee range of it by creating a sustained gravity well. The two bolts pull towards each other producing an electric arc that shoots between them, continously shocking enemies hit by the bolts and those between the two targets. Their effect either wears off after X seconds or if the targets were close and were actually pulled together, they set off a massive explosion that can heavily damage and disorient targets.

Primary Weapon: The T-SAR 321 "Fellstar" is a standardized wrist-mounted sniper-rifle or railgun, developed by the TIKHON Corporation. It is a scaled-down version of the technology that was used to fire at targets from a planet's orbit; attenuated or weakened, purposefully, to allow for personal or rather mech-assisted use on the ground, with its destructive capability confined to a relatively much smaller area that still makes it effective over several kilometers. The numbers in its name refer to the year it was made, counting from the first, since humanity took to the stars.
Secondary Weapon: A Plasma SMG that can eat through or even ignite targets for additional damage-over-time.
7) Astral Ranger - A Hunter with equipment and abilities geared towards ending a prey's existence before it can even come close enough to touch its exalted executioner and those who try will be struck down by the forces of the cosmos that are at the Ranger's disposal, like primal beasts howling and gazing at an unreachable bright star.
A build whose ability to hurt its target is only second to the speed and agilty it can do it with. Foregoing burdening thicker plating and the heaviest of cores meant to bear larger weaponry, it proves to have no need for any of it by making sure it's rarely hit, if at all, by dancing around danger, on the ground or in the air, while precisely hitting its target, without spraying or praying.
As for how it looks...well, imagine a mix between the Electron and Raptor, obviously larger in size, for the omni-frame, with a wrist-mounted primary weapon and wings. A few pointy ends. Feet and hands could (but not necessarily) resemble talonned feet and clawed hands.
Tried to seamlessly weave in some lore by coming up with a name for a corporation (from what I can find "TIKHON" is a Russian name that is derived from the Greek "tynchano", meaning "hit the mark, succeed"). The founder's full name could be Tikhon Yeruslan (Yeruslan Lazarevich is the name of a hero in Russian and Tatar folktales, based on (or at least influenced by) Persian tales of their hero "Rostam". I also tried to get a little sense for the date they would write in-game. From the Lore Drop article, to me, it read like, at least, 300 years (or so) had past since they started exploring space, so I figured I put that into a weapon's name. I mean, in Firefall the Nighthawk's Sniper Rifle is also called TAC-8 and I have no idea what that stands for, if it stands for anything, at all, that is. T is for Tikhon and Standardized Attenuated Railgun to spell "tsar").
