Hypnosis Mic

**Hypnosis Microphone**, or **Hypnosis Mic**, is a series of the devices, developed by Rei Amayado, using classified military technologies. During the World War III, the Party of Words established mass development of the Hypnosis Mics.

Due to their monopoly of the Hypnosis Mic supply, the Party of Words, led by Otome Tohoten, managed to take down the current government and take control over Japan. After the ban of the firearms, they handed the mics to the police and men outside Chuohku, so they could fight over the territory in rap battles. Several specially customized prototypes were also handed to the military before its disbandment.

## Capabilities

Once activated, Hypnosis Mic changes its form after shining a bright purple, reflecting the style of its owner and creates speakers behind them. The lyrics channeled through the Mic affects people's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system​s, making it possible to attack a person's psyche and alter their state of mind. A hypnosis mic is also capable of influencing a person's mind, by channeling lyrics through it, a user can make someone believe what the user is saying is true and cause visual and auditory hallucinations, even making it possible that a listener does not realise they are under the influence of a mic.

Hypnosis Mic can be deactivated by the Hypnosis Canceller, used by the Party of Words to seize the rap battles, however, its development is quite problematic.

### Rap Abilities

*Rap Ability* is a special power that develops in select people who continue to successfully use the Hypnosis Mic over a long period of time.

* Jiro Yamada: powerful offensive one-time attack
* Saburo Yamada: nullification of the enemy's attack
* Samatoki Aohitsugi: increasing of his strength by absorption of the damage he's taken
* Jyuto Iruma: putting an enemy into the "cage", forcing him to pass their turn
* Rio Mason Busujima: a defensive barrier which blocks enemy's attack
* Ramuda Amemura: the creation of the various illusions
* Gentaro Yumeno: mimicking enemy's Rap Ability
* Dice Arisugawa: random effect, depending on the results of the roll of his speakers
* Jakurai Jinguji: healing target's body and mind
* Hifumi Izanami: forcing the enemy to attack their ally instead of him

## True Hypnosis Mic

An upgraded version of the Hypnosis Mic that is able to completely take control over a person's mind ("mindhack"). Once used on a person, the user can command their target to obey their orders. However, the true Hypnosis Mic kills its user, due to its malfunction. The development of the true Hypnosis Mic is much more problematic, due to the unusual nature of the device. Also, according to Rei, the true Hypnosis Mic tends to destroy the user's Rap Ability.

## Illegally Mass-Produced Mics

After Hypnosis Microphones were introduced, all weapons were soon replaced with hypnosis microphones, including those used by terrorists, yakuza and punks. For such unregulated use and involvement in illegal activities, a specific model of Hypnosis Microphones were introduced and mass produced by an unknown group.

When activated, unlike a normal hypnosis mic, that glows a bright purple on activation, these mics glow white. All the speakers, despite who the user may be, are identical and multiple in number, unlike how a normal hypnosis mic varies and reflects a user. The microphone itself doesn't transform or look different from a normal mic even after activation, and a varying numbers of speakers appear next to the user, shining purple with a blue back-glow.

These microphones, while not as effective as a normal hypnosis mic, can be used by another user as well, unlike the normal hypnosis microphones which only one person can use. Multiple microphones can also be wielded by the same person at once, creating a huge number of speakers and a multiplied effect.
