One day a young genius created a remote that would change anyone it was pointed at to fit the surroundings and people around them. It would even change reality and give the new person a new personality and appearance, while making that person and everyone around them unaware, unless the user wanted them to be.
Being in high school, and a bit of a pervert, the boy decided to try it out in the girls locker room after cheer practice. He quietly followed the last girl in, and aimed at himself. He planned to become a fellow cheerleader with none of the girls aware as he spied them showering and changing. In his haste he didn't notice that he had left the setting for the changed person to be unaware, and without testing it beforehand didn't know changing the user overrides the memory saving feature.
The new cheerleader wondered why she was holding a remote, but dismissed it and set it in her bag before joining her teammates in the showers. She lived close by, and decided to walk home. When she got there she remembered the remote, and checked her bag for it. She couldn't find it however, noticing a hole in her bag. She must have lost it somewhere along the way.
Before the boy's fateful trip to the locker room he had created several modes for the remote. These included:
1. Blend into environment: The subject will change to suit the environment that surrounds them
2. Blend in with people: The subject will change to better fit in with the people around
3. Blend in with me: The subject will change to be more like the remote's user
4. Reverse Mode: Used in conjunction with the other modes. When active the subject will become the opposite of the people around them, the environment, or the user depending on the mode selected
There were other features developed, and in production before he became a cheerleader and lost the remote as well.
