Unreleased

Machina Kunagiri is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0, and one of the main characters of the same game. In the storyline, he acts as an outside observer of the game's events.

Story
Machina Kunagiri is a young man who is a new addition, alongside his childhood friend Rem Tokimiya, to Class Zero from the Peristylium Suzaku, the Magic Academy of the nation of Rubrum, that fight the invasion of Rubrum by the Milites Empire. Despite his great proficiency in magic and straightforwardness, he is fearful of war.

Profile
Machina is a youth with short dark hair and an elegant cloak. He is brave and very powerful; traits which had him transferred into the legendary Class Zero. Due to being a recent addition to the ranks of Class Zero, he isn't assigned any number. Machina is the younger brother of Izana, who died during the invasion by Milites. The two seem to be very close to each other, as Machina is the person who named Izana's chocobo.

Battle
Machina dual-wields a pair of distinct drill-shaped Rapiers in battle. Unlike Rem, he favors melee fighting, and his battle style is based on chaining fast combos, which enables him to exploit the Kill Sight function. His basic attack is Bolt Rapier.

Etymology
"Machina" is Latin for machine. In particular, Machina's name is taken from the Latin expression "Deus ex Machina", which translates for "A god from the machine". This expression is commonly used to refer to a sudden and surprising situation-turning event, specifically in the fields of representation and literature.
