Echo Requests

Please fill out this form when requesting an Echo, then post it to this entry. The request will be dealt with as soon as possible.

When requesting an Echo induced by a past-life parallel/recurrence, please demonstrate clearly the similarity between the events, as well as the relation between the events and what is returned.

As of September 2013, Tier 2 Echoes can be granted once a month per character. Take care to specify the limitations and/or level of detail to the Echo requested! If you are unsure, suggestions will be gladly offered.

As of November 2014, Characters who have had their echoes for over a year can cause echoes in other people This is involuntary, cannot be controlled by either character and doesn't require a recurrence. The receiving character must have 15 echoes or less; they must be physically close to the other character; only tier 1 echoes can be caused that way; one cannot give themselves echoes. Both players must, of course, have consented to this oocly. A character can receive echoes through this mechanic no more than 10 times, and only up to 3 times from the same character. If requesting one of these echoes, please indicate the character from which the echo was received.

Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger, a person or a canon recurrence. For the latter, this must be unusual enough to have been the first time the character has encountered it within Locke City, and strongly resemble a specific event from canon. Picking up a jug of milk from the store will not cause an Echo if it isn't any different than the times the character has done it before.
Type and tier: Physical change, power/ability, mental/memory, or item/creature. Tier 1 are the regular Echoes, and are typically a single memory/ability/item/etc. Tier 2 are essentially two regular Echoes rolled into one, such as an item and a memory or ability associated with it, or two directly-related memories, or so on. Currently only one Tier 2 Echo is allowed per month, so please be sure to note them somehow on your info posts.
What is returned: In the case of canon recurrences, these must be directly related to what has caused the Echo. Stronger recurrences = stronger Echoes.

Player: Lisa
Character: Danny Fenton
Reason for Echo: farmhouse alien encounter!
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: A general boost to intangibility, because when I said I gave him the ULTIMATE INTANGIBILITY, I had actually underestimated his skill--with this, his limit will be boosted from a large car/11-ish people to a structure the size of a small house/however many people you could fit into a small house without it being claustrophobic.

The intangibility boost also improves his skill with possession--he will have full control over people's bodies when he's in there (no more random actions/manners slipping through), and he will actually be able to leave bodies at will. This is still bound by his energy levels, though (and of course, I will always ask permission from any related parties to do anything while possessing characters).

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: increased durability--enough to be slammed through several brick walls and shake it off with little effect within seconds.

Also, invisibility. Exactly what it says on the tin. It basically operates under the exact same rules and limitations as intangibility.

Reason for Echo: being mind controlled into wanting to smooch people. (this is backdated to 2/14.)
Type and tier: tier 1, memory
What is returned: the memory of Ember doing the same thing to him with her music. He remembers what caused it and he remembers his actions while under the effect of the spell, but nothing else about the episode.



Character: Jovan Burzek
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: The ability to see/interact with ghosts. I would like to give him this power in its entirety, which would allow him to freely see/hear dead people and speak with them (although it's unclear whether he can actually have any physical contact with them--I'm going to go with no on that.)

However, I've already talked this echo over with Blue a while ago, and was given a full rundown on the limitations on how this power would work in the StE setting and the 'native setting' ghosts for the time being. I also understand, though, if this is something that needs to be discussed more or rehashed because I asked about this back in mid-January, but I'd really like to be able to give him this power back!



Character: Chuck Reyes
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: An increase in nanites in his body and along with them some mental schematics of a particular piece of robotics, which will allow him to build these things out of his arms. (They can also spin at fast enough speeds to drill through rock.)

The increase in nanites will not affect at this point his technopathy--they're literally only getting increased to give him enough 'nanite bulk' to form the fists.
