[WP] At birth, everyone is given an object to protect that is tied directly to their life. If the object is damaged then the person is hurt, too. If the object is destroyed then the person dies. | Like everyone I know, I was born with one. Anyone associated with medical science think they're weird, how they just keep working like some machine until the person stops.
