    Name:

    The A.S.S., Ass, Muffler, Silencer, Bank Robber’s Dream, The ‘My Family Is Too Loud’ Device


    Description:

    The A.S.S. looks like a 6x12x8 cubic inch rectangle of metal with sixteen directional ZPEM emitters covering its surface. A universal power port is located on its bottom.


    Abilities:

    The A.S.S. almost completely nullifies sound in a thirty foot sphere from where it is placed.


    Conditional Abilities:

    You can use this to finally get a good night’s sleep while your neighbor is blasting shitty EDM at three AM.

    Increasing the size of the device will increase its range.

    Plugging in an additional dense-electron battery after the first has run out will extend the duration of the sound nullification by another minute.

    Limitations:

    The A.S.S. only has a range of thirty feet in a sphere originating from itself. Or, until it hits a wall.

    The A.S.S. can only run for a minute at most without being plugged into a larger power source.

    Conditional Limitations:

    An EMP will fry the device completely.

    Anything sound that is louder than one hundred and seventy decibels (dB) won't be masked by the device.

    How does it work:

    The A.S.S. (Antisound Stationary Source) device works by pairing eight directional ZPEM emitters that generate anti-noise, allowing it to disrupt all noise within a radius of roughly thirty feet, or until it hits a wall. Due to extreme battery consumption from the numerous emitters, these devices can only be used without a wall outlet for sixty seconds at a time before the internal dense-electron battery is completely drained of power.


    Flavor text:

    The A.S.S. was originally developed by a Hylotl engineer who was permanently sleep exhausted because of his noisy, EDM obsessed neighbors. The device was his solution. Sadly, he died in a police drug raid only a week later- where the technology then fell into the hands of the government and quickly spread into military and industrial use.


    Attainability: Open

    Hey Cheffy. I've already spoken to you about this a while ago and I'd just like to see some of the edits we discussed made. To recap:
    • Changing how the device functions from using speakers to using ZPEM to generate an anti noise point blank.
    • Lowering the range from 50' to 30' for a device of the default size. Increasing the size of the device will increase it's range, following the inverse square law.
    • Better defining a limit at which it ceases working.

    Apologies for taking a bit to get back to this. You'll have to lower the limit, as 200 db isn't even possible.

    Discussed this in DMs. Lower it to 170 and it'll receive it's first pass.
