Ever wonder what one of those max rank nutjobs thinks about you in a mission?

Mastery Level 0 - Hackles raised. Extreme uncomfortability, like seeing the outline of a colt 45 holstered on the hip of a nun. There must be a story there. What? Why? How? How are you on the Kuva Fortress as a wisp with like 100 hp, my guy?
1
Mastery Level 1 to 5 - Like a National Geographic photographer trying not to scare away a rare squid by acknowledging it. Already mentally adopted him, given him a nickname, and already under an unspoken vow to clap anyone that incapacitates the squishy.
5
Mastery Level 6 - Medium berth. The player can most likely dodge bullets now, but get Takeshi's-Castled by eximus fire strikes and poison clouds. They probably have weapons held together by duct-tape and determination. They give you a wide berth in return. Would rather burn a life rather than get resurrected just to not inconvenience others. (they never are inconveniencing others)
6
Mastery 7 to 8 - They are in the middle of self discovery. The weapons they carry are not killing enemies as fast as they used to. They are perceptive, looking to their surroundings John Wick at a pencil collector emporium. Most don't make it past this milestone. Many people leave them to their own devices- so they don't get attached - they could be gone by the evening.
8
Mastery 9 to 11 - They have a weapon by now and a hatred of kuva lich damage mitigation. Like the bristles of a porcupine growing solid, they can usually deal more damage than they can take.
11
Mastery 12 to 14 - The Tenno has evolved out of necessity, They most likely have a Wisp or a Nidus with a full complement of mods for a Ignis Wraith. They are walking skeletons. Danger without beauty. Power without individuality. A respectable ally nonetheless.
Alternatively - They found their one and only playstyle on the first try. Specialists.
14
Mastery 15 to 18 - Flares of individuality are starting to form. Muscles and skin take place of the skeleton, but the skeleton will push back against anything that can't be handled otherwise. More build diversity, more dakka and less lacka.
18
Mastery 19 to 25 - Another face in the crowd - Clan Leaders, Writers, Fan Artists, Youtubers, Endurance Runners, Specialists - the bundle of ranks is the normal and encompasses everything and everyone. A playstyle has established. Roots of preference hold sway over suggestions given. Dangerous imposition of meta ideals upon others present.
25
Mastery 26 - 29 - Specialized Theory-Crafters, Excel Spreadsheet enthusiasts, Nova waifu believers, and the start of the descent into madness.
29
Mastery 30 - The pragmatic completionist - The dogged and tired soul who reaches the final rank as measured by the end of benefits being able to be granted to those around them. Rightfully so. Givers of Relay blessings freely. Helpers of anyone needing to shoot Vay Hek in the faceplate out of age old spite.
30
Mastery Overflow 1 - Eldrich mass of bone and gristle. Moves through missions without a word. Has at least 5 different methods to break Shadow Stalker's neck, the last of which being a well timed bullet-jump. Unconventional in approach. They make others uncomfortable by bringing unusual frames and weapons that aren't good until you examine a multiplicative damage scaling on page 509 ofThe Document.
L1
Mastery Overflow 2 - Speaks in zalgo, cockiness, memes, or not at all. At least one of them are extremely bitter about TWITCH DROPS NOT GIVING THEM THE LAST BLOODY WEAPON ON THE LIST TO UNLOCK TO BEAT THIS DAMN GAME. WHO CONTENT LOCKS BEHIND A BLOODY TWITCH DROP?! We all hate eachother up here. Leave me to my opinion island.

AAAAAAA
WHAT EVEN IS TWITCH?! I USE HULU
