The “Headband of Protection” is a pain dampener made by Iemochi Innovations & Sales. It is a headband that is worn and reads the user's cerebral activity. After calibration by pinching yourself in various places, it finds the user's pain centre. It can be configured for various levels of dampening, up to and including total suppression.
The headband was designed in YE 44 by Iemochi Innovations & Sales. It was requested by Iemochi Seinosuke after a bad experience of being torn apart by Pack Roaches. After various versions being internally tested and the various levels of suppression tuned to focus groups, it was released to the public.
The “Headband of Protection” is designed for usage by individuals who do not have a biologically included pain dampener, or do not wish to have one permanently installed by other means. It reads and alters brain activity in order to dampen pain signals by a pre-selected amount, such that individuals can convert agony to annoyance. The siphoned electrical signals of pain also serve to power the device's in-built battery, but it uses so little charge that the battery effectively never runs dry.
The Headband can also integrate functionalities with products such as IIS "Eyes of the Eagle" Sensory Assistant. They are securely paired by tapping the products together. The Headband will then expand its sensor range to also read markers for intent, which can be fed to the other product. Each product can only be paired to one complete set of the other before the original needs to be replaced. This prevents people from maliciously pairing to a device after the user has already got their own products paired.
Here is the data regarding the entity which created and manufactures this item.
The headband appears as a standard black hairband, but comes in every colour imaginable. A 'hardened' version that is combat-ready is available, which is constituted of ADNR. It can be requested in a variety of different shapes and styles for different fashions, head sizes and hair length. Some are transparent and very low-profile.
Here is the information regarding the headband's market values.
The user places the headband/hairband onto their head. Pressing the right corner beside their temple for a few seconds, they begin the pairing process. They then pinch themselves in various places to callibrate the product until it activates and they cannot feel themselves being pinched anymore. This indicates the device is working. They can then press the same corner to cycle through various pre-programmed levels of suppression, ranging from mild to complete pain dampening. Military versions of the headband also feature removal protection such as adhesive identical to that used in IIS "Barkskin" Hardening Spray.
