Rider Gear (555)

The of Kamen Rider 555 are a series of specially reinforced combat suits created by Smart Brain. They also come with a variety of tools that can be used by the users to assist them in battle. 
==Overview==
Although it is optimal for only Orphnochs to use, ordinary humans can use them as well but it will come with severe side effects, except for the Faiz Driver, in which locking mechanism is built in to prevent non-Orphnochs from transforming. The Kaiza Driver will disintegrate its user upon de-transformation, and the Delta Driver will slowly drive its users insane. 
Each Rider Gear contains a belt known as a Driver used to form armor that protects the wearer and amplifies their strengths and abilities. The armor's theme is based on a letter from the , and contains the letter somehow within the aesthetic design. The Gears also have a method to input command codes, a cell phone number keypad for most, which can activate armor and various weapons. 
==History==
They were created to protect the Orphnoch King. However when Hanagata sent them to the Ryusei School, they ultimately became a weapon to fight against the Orphnochs.
== Rider Gears ==
The TV series focused on three sets of Rider Gear: Faiz Gear, Kaixa Gear, and Delta Gear. During the TV series, Hanagata, the foster father of the Ryuseiji and former chief executive of Smart Brain, attempted to create several new Rider Gears, using two lost people to test out the first two. The two belts failed to create Rider armor, resulting in the wearer’s deaths. When Itsuro Takuma of Lucky Clover wore the third one it disabled him for a few seconds before it dissolved. The fourth dissolved without ever being worn. The Kamen Rider 555 movie, Paradise Lost, introduced two additional sets of Rider Gear: Psyga Gear and Orga Gear

==Naming Conventions==
Each set of Rider Gear is code-locked, in addition to being only usable by Orphnoch. These codes, input through the phone of each Gear, are a set of numbers that relate to the theme of each Gear. For the Faiz Gear, the code is "5-5-5", or "fives", phonetically similar to the word Faiz. For the Kaixa Gear, the code is "9-1-3". In Japanese, 9 is "Kyuu" ("K" or "Ka" sound taking ) 1 is "Ichi" ("I" or "Ii" sound) 3 is "San" ("Sa" sound) Thus "Ka-i-sa" ("9-1-3"). Delta Gear's phone was voice-activated, yet nonetheless also was coded with "3-3-3", a reference to the Greek letter delta, a triangle.
The Japanese pronunciation of Psyga's number uses the same method as Kaixa: 3 is "San" ("Sa" sound), 1 is "Ichi" ("I" or "Ii" sound, similar to Kaixa's name) and 5 is "Go" ("Ga" sound, taken from the letter "G" in Go ), thus: "Sa-i-ga" ("3-1-5"). The Orga Gear, patterned after Greek omega, the final letter, is code-locked to "0-0-0". Muez's number is "6-6-6" because, in a telephone keypad system, the letter M corresponds to the number 6. The number 6 can also be written as "Muttsu" ("Mu" sound) in Japanese, thus Muez.
