## Backstory

What metric may be used to measure the worth of a mans life? Is there a universal standard which can precisely determine whether a life has been lived properly? Many would provide differing contradictory answers, some may say it would be wealth, or power, or people, society, or even God. However the truth of the matter is that no man has any right to judge another's life, what meaning may be gleamed from their struggle in this world is something for them to decide and only at the very end may they truly say what that is. If that is the case, then what of a man who in the end sees no meaning in his life who himself has judged that his life has had little worth. What then? How may meaning be carved from the meaningless? How may a hollow soul receive respite, and should they?

In his previous life Kurikara was known simply as Yuito his surname is of no import. He was an unremarkable man who was just one the many of Japan's dispiritied youth. He counted among the NEETs those who were overwhelmed by the weight of societal pressures and turned their backs on the future. By the time he was 30 his parents had no notions as to his future they did as much as was required of them as family, but Yuitos younger sister was already a much more hopeful prospect to invest in. She had ambition he didn't, plain and simple. This was fine with him since he saw everyone else as merely a bother which got in the way of his desires. He spent his time playing games, watching anime and reading manga. He lived a frivolous life of excess and comfort with not a shred of hardship or strife to be found. He refused to live enough to deal with any sort of confrontation. Eventually his isolation became his undoing, despite his claim of living the life of comfort and no worries he always wanted he committed suicide at the age of 34. It was done on a whim decided with the same thought process one would enage in when taking out the trash or choosing what to eat for a snack. When he passed on while hanging himself he merely mused that it would be unfortunate he won't get to play the new game coming out next month.
==Current Life==When God summoned the soul of Yuito he knew he was dealing with an utterly indifferent and ambitionless man reincarnating as he is would lead to little, and besides he had plenty of Heroes, Villains and interesting enough people to get what he wanted. With Yuito he may as well try something... different.

When Yuito was reincarnated his spirit was lobotomized for a lack of a better term it was meant to provide a conduit for his new body but not an active conscious. Yuito was now Kurikara Unit-01 an advanced magitech armor created by an ancient race long lost to time. Yuito now Kurikara was brought into this world over a thousand years before now if one follows the annals of history, myths and legends you will find a seemingly benign and inconsequential detail. Many tales of great Heroes and Villains mention them owning legendary armor, these of course are often described differently or posses different names native to their nations language. While not all of them are the Kurikara Unit a few are. This armor was unremarkable at first just a seemingly ornate full plate mail, but the armor who's original intention behind it's creation is unknown had the ability to grow with the wielder as well as enhance the user which scaled as they grew in power. As they learned techniques and gained greater power so too did the armor as the experiences and desires of the users left a impression on the spirit housed within. Each wielder started from a state of zero but as they grew the memory of previous users manifested themselves in techniques and abilities. Within the armor Yuito had changed drastically he had no desires or consciousness in this state but the marks left behind on his soul by each wielder changed his very being. The once ambitionless man now housed within his soul endless desire and the satisfaction of duty fulfilled that only a tool may feel.

Each wielder met their end in various ways some peaceful but many were violent and died young. This too left an impression as Kurikaras very essence was one of battle and bloodshed. Eventually the armor would be sealed out of fear and respect for it's power and in its current state it has not had a user in centuries. This was when Gods seeds of change finally bore fruit as consciousness returned to Kurikara and the armor could now be manually animated without the need for a user. The soul once known as Yuito has unrevocably changed the memories of his previous life are little more than fleeting dreams he can no longer relate to being his own. The Kurikara Unit is all that is left. It awakens from it's tomb encased in stone with it's armor chipped rusted and a shadow of it's former self but, it's power which lies smoldering underneath has not diminished only waits to be unleashed. The cacophony of senses, left behind desires, and the spiritual memory of lifetimes dyed in blood have wiped away all Identity leaving an empty husk which desires meaning.
