Ascension Armor (Tier I–IV)

Description:

Ascension Armor is a living nanite suit, biometrically keyed to the DNA of its wearer. Each suit is unusable by anyone else unless heavily rewritten, an invasive process that always resets the suit to Tier I.

The armor evolves with its user, automatically increasing in Tier as the wearer’s Pressure increases, unlocking greater resilience and longer ascended states.
