Resonator

Biodata

Resonance and abilities

Resonators can awaken and use Resonance Force, though their abilities and strength vary. Liu Lan awakened hers before arriving in Septimont, while Chisa forms giant scissors from resonance power 43 50.

• Individual abilities: Scar’s resonance ability lets him create space and teleport; he also uses it to trap Rover 2.
• Combat strength: The Breaking Formation Battalion is composed entirely of Resonators and fights Tacet Discords at Norfall Gorge 26.
• Overlord Class: Zhao Sheng employs three Overlord Class Resonators as bodyguards. Each is capable of handling an Overlord Class Tacet Discord alone 61 62 64.
• Overclocking: Scar overclocks to gain a substantial surge in power and a transformed body, though Rover notes that the side effects are severe. Jiyan also prepares to overclock at Norfall Gorge 2 26.

Sentinel and Threnodian connections

Cartethyia is described as a dual Resonator of a Sentinel and a Threnodian. She initially struggles to balance their powers; with Imperator’s help, she later masters separation and fusion, allowing her to use forms equivalent to a pure Sentinel or a Threnodian 11 39 40 41.

The Faceless Inferno Lord’s resistance and recovery lead Rover and the others to conclude that it has found a Resonator. Imperator later uses Separation Authority and the defenders’ strength to sever the connection, stopping its rebirth 29 30 31.

Treatment by region

Ashihara

Resonators are registered and placed under centralized management. Liu Lan hides her awakening because she fears being sent to an isolation zone 43.

At Chisa’s school, students mock her for being a Resonator, falsely accuse her of bullying, and vandalize her desk. The principal threatens to summon the Resonance Force Control Center when she denies the accusations 57 59.

Dark red collars are used to control Resonators. The Resonance Control Bureau can activate them with electronic devices to deliver electric shocks. Rover removes the collars from the Resonators in the classroom and places them on the officials instead 56 65.

Septimont

Septimont’s warriors include Resonators who accompany Cartethyia to confront the Neon Tavern 44.

The tavern’s staff abuse orphaned Resonators and drain their power. Manager Lu Sha claims that draining ten children in a day supplies enough energy to run the tavern for three days. Liu Lan’s collar also suppresses and continuously drains her Resonance Force; Cartethyia later uses Sentinel power to suppress the captives’ collars after Lu Hong threatens them with detonators 43 44 46.
