Trion Receptor

Horn Triggers are a type of implant used by Aftokrator Neighbors. They are trion receptors.

Description
Horn Triggers are shaped like horns of different animals, such as rams or deer. They are normally white, but turn black if the owner uses a Black Trigger.

Overview
Trion receptors are a military secret in Aftokrator. Seven years prior to the invasion of Earth, they were already functional.

Abilities
Horn Triggers are implanted in Aftokrator neighbors at an early age to dramatically improve their trion capacity and quality as they grow, allowing them to use more powerful Triggers for longer amounts of time and with greater efficacy. Researches have also been done to use horns to increase compatibility with Black Triggers. The capabilities of a horned fighter far exceed those of a normal Trigger user.

Horn Triggers also collect biological data on the owner. If the latter used a Black Trigger, the information stored in the trion receptors can be used to find other compatible individuals. Information can be accessed by a third party without direct contact with the horns themselves.

However, Horn Triggers can be dangerous for the one who receives them. If they take root in the brain, they will gradually spread, affecting the personality of the owner and eventually killing them. A symptom of the process is the sclera of the owner chainging color.

Combined with their data-collecting function, this side effect makes it possible to create a "copy" of a Horn Trigger possessor by implanting the trion receptors, retrieved from the real body, in a compatible host, such as a Rad. The personality and memories of that individual will be preserved even if they themselves are dead.
