Lore wise:
You are an magic abomination which can't exist in any plan, gods is hates you, demons is reject you. After an accident you lost your body(meat part, organs include), but your soule was bounded to your bones. Noone how it's work, lowest undead with own will and mind.
You still feel hunger and thirst, but you just put food in the mouth, it's makes feel like youre still alive.

Other:
Only posible way to heal yourself - use other bones on yorself as a medkit.
When you move your body makes "rattle sound".

Could you say what parts you like this concept over a lich? Which is a character inhabiting a bone body. Because lore wise, you sound like someone trying to become a lich and it going badly.
