OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Designed by First United Astral Engineering, the FAE/I-09 “Euryale” Hypnosis Photoreceptor is a photoreceptor (or cybernetic eye)-hypnogazer hybrid which in short, simple terms, is capable of hypnotizing targets at a glance. Derived from the ancient hypnogazer, the Euryale develops and advances the capabilities of the old technology by integrating it into a photoreceptor and adding the ability to project a visual distortion that simulates the multidimensional lattice of a hypergem.
In effect, the Euryale works by effectively seizing up the neural connections in various cerebral structures, potentially inducing a deep hypnotic state. From here, a target can be compelled to take actions that they would not otherwise perform, such as revealing secrets, attacking allies, and yet more. Affected targets will likely be susceptible to commands that violate self-preservation or disrupt autonomic physiological functions. Finally, applications also encompass memory alteration, immediately compelling targets to ignore or outright forget a given piece of information.
All in all, the Euryale is an advancement and expansion of the ancient hypnogazer. It is a piece of technology that is just as dangerous as it is compelling, with the disturbing capability of compelling targets to take potentially dangerous, gruesome, and self-destructive actions against their will.

- Hypnosis Systems
- Hypno-Strobe
- The default module, the hypno-strobe system uses various patterns of flashing lights that are frequency-shifted below conscious visual threshold to induce hypnosis in a target by effectively seizing up the neural connections in various cerebral structures.
- Audio-Visual Entrainment Pulse (AVEP)
- Combines the photoreceptor's ultrasonic emitter (which is primarily used for imaging) with the hypno-strobe to create a synchronized audio-visual pulse. The ultrasonic frequency resonates with the target's alpha/theta brainwave bands while the light pattern reinforces the rhythm, inducing a trance state faster than light alone. Since most species cannot consciously perceive ultrasonic sounds, this module can hypnotize targets in a way that is incredibly likely to sidestep conscious resistance, much like the default hypno-strobe module.
- Emotional Resonance
- Instead of direct commands, this system projects a modulated light pattern that stimulates the target's amygdala (or equivalent), amplifying a specific emotion. These emotions may include fear, trust, anger, calm, and yet more, depending on the preset. The target may become more suggestible to commands that align with that emotional state.
- Subliminal Pattern Weave
- Instead of overt flashing lights, this system embeds imperceptible micro-patterns (frequency-shifted below conscious visual threshold) into the user's normal field of view. Over several seconds of sustained eye contact or casual observation, the patterns accumulate to implant a single, simple suggestion (e.g., "lower your weapon," "open that door", "follow me", or “look at me”). This allows the user to implant a suggestion without directly stating it.
- Audio-Visual Entrainment Pulse (AVEP)
- The default module, the hypno-strobe system uses various patterns of flashing lights that are frequency-shifted below conscious visual threshold to induce hypnosis in a target by effectively seizing up the neural connections in various cerebral structures.
- Hypergem
- The Hypergem system generates a visual distortion within the photoreceptors that simulates the crystalline planar networks of a Hypergem, creating an effect that projects a virtual multidimensional lattice. Upon witnessing this, a target could be induced into hypnosis, a trance state, rendered stunned, and/or insanity.
- Perceptual Overload
- Projects rapidly alternating, high-contrast patterns that simultaneously stimulate all visual color channels and motion detectors, overwhelming the target's visual cortex. While this does not hypnotize per se, it has an extreme chance of inducing temporary disorientation, vertigo, and nausea, potentially making the target easier to physically subdue, manipulate, or hypnotize afterward.
- Pain-Suppression Hypno-Override
- A specialized hypnosis program that numbs or severs the target's perception of pain while leaving motor control intact. The photoreceptor emits a low-frequency flicker that disrupts the thalamic pain relay (or the equivalent), paired with a soothing suggestion of comfort.

- Utility and Safety Features
- Implant Integrity Reader and Diagnostic System - Operating Temperatures, Power Levels, Etc.
- Electronic Safety
- Adjustable Light Intensity
- The intensity of the lights emitted by the hypno-strobe and hypergem modules can be amplified or dimmed, thus making it easier or harder for targets to see (and potentially fall victim to) the hypnotizing modules. By amplifying the output, the intensity, spread, and quantity of emitted light is increased, thereby increasing the range at which a target can be hypnotized. However, when dimmed, the light has less range but more precision, a feature often utilized for hypnotizing targets in more personal encounters.
- FAE/G-02 “Glimmerweave” Q-Vacuum Entrainment Cell - Micro Cell
- Retinal Reflex Shunt
- A dedicated micro-processor monitors the Euryale's outgoing light patterns and compares them against incoming reflections detected by the photoreceptor. Upon recognizing its own projected frequencies returning, the shunt instantaneously attenuates the offending wavelengths before they reach the user's optic nerve. This active cancellation operates in milliseconds, creating a blind spot to self-generated patterns while leaving external projections unaffected, effectively immunizing the user against reflective self-exposure that could otherwise cause her to hypnotize herself.
- Bewitched: When used properly, the Euryale can immediately induce hypnosis, manifesting effects similar to various mentalist Force powers, albeit achieved via different avenues. In this vulnerable state, the target is likely to be extremely susceptible to suggestion, even to commands that disrupt autonomic physiological functions, the base instincts of self-preservation, and other vital neurological functions.
- High Fidelity: Possessing a number of vision modules which allow the user to perceive her surroundings in a wide range of environmental conditions and according to the demands of the situation, the photoreceptor can be adapted to see in a variety of visual frequencies and spectrums, making them extremely perceptive. Finally, the life-form scanner allows the user to detect stealthed targets with minimal chance of being detected in turn owing to the ghostwave-concealed sensory waveforms.
- Subconscious Subversion: Most hypnosis modes are deliberately designed to operate below the threshold of conscious perception. By frequency-shifting lights and ultrasonic pulses beneath what the target can actively register, the Euryale can potentially bypass conscious defense mechanisms entirely. The target may not realize they are being influenced, potentially making resistance far less likely and allowing suggestions to take root before countermeasures can be mounted.
- Medusa: The hypergem module provides a devastating non-lethal option that transcends conventional hypnosis. By simulating a multidimensional lattice, the Euryale can stun, trance, or even induce insanity in a target with a single glance. This is a direct assault on a target's cognitive framework, which can render an enemy stunned, catatonic, insane, or worse. It goes without saying that in battle, this can be a potential death sentence for anyone caught in its trance.
- Deniability: Many of the Euryale's modules operate without obvious visual or auditory signatures. There are no glaring strobes or telltale sounds to alert bystanders or security systems. This allows the user to manipulate targets covertly, implant suggestions, or gather intelligence in plain sight. Even if the target later acts strangely, they will have no memory of being influenced, preserving the user's anonymity and operational security.
- Integrated Defenses: The Euryale is not a fragile instrument. Its agrinium alloy coating provides robust EMP and radiation shielding, protecting the internal systems from common anti-tech countermeasures. Combined with auto-polarizing receptors against flash-blindness, the Euryale is as durable and resilient as it is dangerous, ensuring reliability in the most hostile environments.
- Inadvertent Enthrallment: The hypnosis systems can easily hypnotize friendly forces in turn (often via an inadvertent glance) and can be a recipe for disaster. It would do little good to blind one's allies or possibly render them insane. As such, users must take extra care to keep their gaze away from friendly units while the hypnosis systems are active.
- Biology: Falleen individuals are known to be resistant to the deleterious mental effects of Hypergems. In addition, animals or creatures that lack self-awareness can not be hypnotized. This limits the Euryale's utility in wilderness environments or against non-sentient threats, forcing the user to rely on conventional means of engagement.
- Light Shield: Beings with semi-translucent eyelids or similar protective ocular membranes are effectively immune to the hypno-strobe module. These natural filters disrupt the light patterning required for neural seizure, rendering the strobe ineffective. While the other modules (hypergem and AVEP) modules may still function (provided the ultrasonic component penetrates), the user loses their most reliable and versatile hypnosis tool against such targets, requiring careful module selection and adaptation.
- Droid and Synthetic Immunity: The Euryale's hypnosis systems are specifically designed to target organic neurological structures. Droids, cyborgs with heavily replaced neural tissue, and other synthetic intelligences possess no biological cerebral architecture to seize or manipulate. As such, the hypno-strobe, AVEP, emotional resonance, subliminal weave, and pain-suppression modules have absolutely no effect on inorganic targets.
