TA: He is but an element in the continuity, one destined to perish at the hand of Ragna the Bloodedge, what does the Master Unit sees in that boy?
TB: Ah, about that, I'm not too sure myself, but it seems that the subject has tremendous mental capacities and data storage space...besides, as long as the 'replacement' does not fail, there shouldn't be a problem with disturbing the continuity.
TC: Yes, the subject has assimilated over 80% of the Master Unit's back-up data without sustaining any noticeable mental or motor damage...substitute has successfully passed Phase 725 following the planned programming and adapted itself to the anomaly named Noel Vermillion...?

01/01/2200 -3:00AM
Above the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi, a comet appears from a rift through the Boundary and rushes towards the lower districts of the city before crashing in an isolated area, followed by multiple explosions all around Kagutsuchi.
This event would later be known as the terrorist bombings incident and put the population of Kagutsuchi in such a state of fear that they would forget about celebrating the New Year, already shaken by the mysterious pentacle that appeared above the city at midnight.
With the Novus Orbis Librarium, the organization supervising the world and otherwise known as the Library by the general public remaining silent about the matter, people began speculating and producing theories of their own, before long, one name were on the lips of everyone: 'Ragna the Bloodedge', the legendary SS class criminal who already destroyed two Library branches on his own and instilled fear upon the world, the largest bounty known to man assigned to his head.
However, through the chaos that ensued with these series of traumatic events only a few were able to see the comet that landed in an uninhabited area of Kagutsuchi in the lower slums near the Kaka Clan village, those who saw the celestial body fall were now intrigued by the mysterious element that had landed in Kagutsuchi.
In the crater left by the impact of the comet, a kneeling young man slowly becomes visible as the dust cloud surrounding him dissipates.
He is wearing beige and gold outlined trench coat with a large collar along with boots with crosses on the vamps and a peaked cap with the same color scheme, his cap also sports a beige plastic visor with golden outlines on the front, his short hair black as the night and his azure irises glowing brightly, luminous circuits coursing through them as countless amounts of data courses through his mind.

Armagus/Nox Nyctores:
Arcis Inducto-Tetsune: The Armagus consists of his coat, gloves and boots, which enhances his natural physical abilities which are approximately at Shaolin monk level due to hard traning. Tetsune increases his speed, along with his punching and kicking power, allowing him to perform incredible feats such as grasping blades barehanded mostly without any damage and kicking through buildings as though they are made of cardboard. The drawback of using this Armagus is that it drains him of his physical sense of pain, meaning that he has to rely on his judgment to evaluate if he can still fight or if he must retreat, or he could die without knowing it. The Armagus was assigned to him during the Ikaruga Civil War, where he joined the Melee Infantry division before being reassigned to the Intelligence Department near the end of the war.
Arcus Expello-Okuninushi: A Nox Nyctores classified a 事象封兵器(Jishou Fuuheki) [Nox Signum], a type of Nox Nyctores that was born in the depths of the 狭間 (Hazama) [Edge] from a natural accumulation of lost souls that formed the weapon over time; it possesses greater power than most Nox Nyctores due to its natural formation. It has a passive skill that further enhances his physical [erformance amd gives the ability to open rifts to the Boundary, which can be used as an offensive weapon as the rifts tear down the physical body of a target while attempting to transport it. Nils obtains the Nox when he fully assimilates the back-up data of the Master Unit and travels to the Edge to find it not too far from the area where Hakumen, the Susanoo Unit was once held.
