Gaia Memories

A Gaia Memories is a mysterious device resembling a USB flash drive that contains all of the Earth's knowledge of what it represents. This enables its user to become a Dopants, or in some special cases a Kamen Rider. Every Gaia Memory is adorned with the first letter of its name, stylized to reflect the powers it imbues on its user. For example, the Injury Memory (acquired by Simon and Charlie before the series begins) resembles a broken bone in the shape of the letter I. In order to transform into a Dopant, the Gaia Memories is first inserted into a device called the L.C.O.G (Living Connector Setting Operation Gun), also called a Connect Shooter, which then produces a USB port-like tattoo on the user's skin called a Living Connector. Whenever the Gaia Memories is pressed onto the Living Connector, it enters the user's body and transforms the user into a Dopant. It is possible to use a Gaia Memories without a Living Connector however a side effect is that the user would later suffer intense physical pain after several uses.
This direct insertion will eventually drive its user insane from its addictive influence, which is why special belts called Memory Drivers have been developed for use by high ranking members of the Museum to filter out these and other side effects. This weakens the Dopant visibly, as such high-ranking Museum members use some of the strongest Gaia Memories, identified by their golden colors, to more than compensate for this weakening. These Gaia Memories seem to be even more dangerous than regular Gaia Memories as hinted in the series. Despite the benefits, there are those who dislike the use of Drivers and would very much prefer the poisoning than being weakened, like Professor Gould. It also seems that when used excessively, the user will slightly gain the Gaia Memory`s powers as hinted when Sebastian who held the Terror Memory for at least ten years seemed to be able to intimidate others as well as flashed purple eyes when doing so.
Kamen Riders utilize Gaia Memories that have been refined such that they can only be used in specialized Memory Driver belts, and the Gaia Memories used do not enter the body and channels power through the Driver. These kinds of Gaia Memories were created by Shroud during her time as Felicia Gardenar. This refinement makes them resemble USB drives, rather than the ribcage design on Dopant Gaia Memories, but further weakens the power of the Memories, only allowing access to the Memory's full power during a Maximum Drive.
To defeat a Dopant, a Kamen Rider has to use one of its Maximum Drive finishing attacks to eject and destroy the Gaia Memory, resulting in what is called a Memory Break. Evolved Gaia Memories require a direct strike on its location within the Dopant's body to execute the Memory Break. If the Dopant does not have a Living Connector, a Memory Break will not occur, however the Gaia Memories will still be ejected from the user's body. Dopants who use Memory Drivers are not susceptible to Memory Breaks.

===Sentient Memories===
*The Fang Memory, also known as the Fanged Memory, is a special Gaia Memory that was solely created to protect Charlie and act on his orders, enabling him and Simon to transform into Kamen Rider Double Detective FangJoker. It can change between its Live Mode, which resembles a Dromaeosaurid, and its Memory Mode, the top of which resembles a dinosaur's head. When used, half of Kamen Rider Double Detective becomes the white Fanged Right Half, enabling Kamen Rider Double Detective to fight like a berserker while altering the left half to match it in being animalistic in design. Being made to protect Charlie and act as his bodyguard, the Fang Memory shows up whenever he is in danger or whenever he calls for it. Unlike the normal transformations into Kamen Rider Double Detective, this transformation is initiated by Charlie and the process causes Simon to fall comatose and transfer his mind until they revert to normal.
*The Xtreme Memory is a special bird-like Gaia Memory that allows Kamen Rider Double Detective to become CycloneJokerXtreme by changing from Live Mode to Memory Mode in order to slide onto the Double Driver. It first appears when Charlie is in mortal danger from being attacked by the Weather Dopant, and it digitizes him where Shroud confronts him about his mission to save the Earth. The Xtreme Memory's powers come directly from the true Gaia Memory and are accessed through the Crystal Server on CycloneJokerXtreme. To initiate its Maximum Drive, the Double Xtreme Rider Kick, the Xtreme Memory is closed and then re-opened. A variation of the Double Xtreme, the Double Prism Xtreme, is where Kamen Rider Double Detective inserts the Prism Memory in the Maximum Slot of the Double Driver before closing and re-opening the Xtreme Memory. When Charlie dissolves after his final battle as Kamen Rider Double Detective, the Xtreme Memory which holds the data of his mind and body does as well. However, after Sally sacrifices her life, she brings back the Xtreme Memory which holds Charlie's body until his physical form is restored.

===Transformation Memories===
*Accel Memory: The Accel Memory, or Acceleration Memory, is Kamen Rider Accel's primary Gaia Memory. This enables Ace to transform into Kamen Rider Accel and access his primary Maximum Drive, as well as allow him to assume Bike Form.
*The Trial Memory, also known as the Challenge Memory, is a special Gaia Memory that allows Kamen Rider Accel to become Kamen Rider Accel Trial. While in Memory Mode, the Trial Memory enables Kamen Rider Accel to transform; the transformation is complete once the light on the traffic light-like Trans-Signal goes from red to blue (with a 3-second countdown sound effect). While in its stop watch-like Maximum Mode, once the Maximum Switch timer button is pressed, Kamen Rider Accel Trial has ten seconds to perform as many attacks as possible, usually kicks and in one occasion, slashes, before pressing the Maximum Switch again to activate the Maximum Drive. If the Maximum Switch is not pressed within the time allotted, the Maximum Drive fails and Kamen Rider Accel's transformation is forcibly and painfully cancelled. To handle this, Kamen Rider Accel normally tosses the Trial Drive into the air as the Maximum Drive begins, pressing the Maximum Switch as soon as it is caught and declaring the time indicated when the timer is stopped. Later in the series, he gets a better grip on the timing to the point where he can stop the timer without tossing the Trial Memory.
