The disguise generator is a system built into the console that generates disguises for agents.
The disguise generator system was invented by Makes-Things.[1] It is operated using a panel built into the console, which displays the chosen disguise(s) similarly to character models in The Sims.[2] The system is able to target an agent by means of a chip embedded in their flash patch.[3]
The disguise typically falls into place once an agent steps through a portal into a Word World and drops once they return to HQ, as seen throughout the Original Series. The settings can be modified to maintain a disguise in HQ, but some agents find wearing a disguise long-term to be "really, really weird,"[4] and it is not often done.
These settings may also be changed with the remote activator if necessary, as in the event of an injury, where changing back to one's proper form might cause further harm.[5]
The disguise generation process itself can't be operated remotely. If agents need to switch disguises in the field, they must use a Disguise-Outfitting Ryticular Kostume System instead.
