Echo Requests

[theearth]

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.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Reason for Echo:</b> If this is a plot Echo, please state which plot is acting as the trigger. If this is a canon recurrence/parallel Echo, please clearly explain how the reason for the Echo parallels canon. <b>Type and tier:</b> If this is a Tier 2 Echo that receives approval, then note that it is a Tier 2 in your Received Echoes list AND the month for which it counts. <b>What is returned:</b> Clearly explain how the Echo relates to its trigger. If this is an ability, please briefly describe it. Assume the mods are unfamiliar with your canon. If this is a Tier 2 encompassing two Echoes, remember that the Echoes must be related somehow. Please explain how they're related.

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Using the teleporter for the first time. I *believe* this would be considered a Plot Echo, but the fact that it's similar to his canon I think might cause it on its own were it not?
Type and tier: POWER - Tier 2
What is returned: Creating and using spacebridges.
Canonically, Vector Prime can open portals through space with the aid of his sword, crossing great distances in short walks. He could also hold these open for others to go through, but the longer he held open the portal, the more taxing it was on him.
Elian will be able to do the same - again, with the aid of his sword, which may be a difficulty on its own because he can't just walk around with the damn thing 24/7 - but he will be limited to within Echo Boundaries...and at least a bit of familiarity with the area. He can't just open it blindly; he'll need to have been there before, and/or a visual (ex a video through the network) in order to 'find' the place before spacebridging.
Attempting to open a spacebridge to an area outside of a boundary will result in an open spacebridge...but no exit point. A dead end, so to speak. As spacebridges usually come with a clear 'road', it'll become clear that it's not going to take anyone anywhere except back the way they came.

On a scientific note, this isn't so much traversing through another dimension as cutting/finding a path between two points and going through *that*.

This can work as a plot echo or a canon recurrance! So if you'd like to claim it as the latter, you can still snag a separate plot echo on top of that if you'd like to. 83

ANYHOO. Echo approved! Please add the relevant data to your info post.

Oh SWEET. In that case, would you prefer me to make a separate comment for a plot related to it (i've already got something in mind) or can i just put it in this thread?

[theearth]

You can just pop it in here, that's fine with me! 8|b

IN THAT CASE

Reason for Echo: PLOT ECHO dohohoho
Type and tier: PHYSICAL - Tier 1
What is returned: Further inner physical change as innards shift towards metal/robotic, which basically...for all intents and purposes, starts off as a huge pain flash, which will fade as his body/nerves adjusts. IN TERMS OF SPECIFICS, he now literally has gears inside of him, along with the basic setting of a spark chamber. He maintains the whole physical-fitness-of-his-prime that came from a previous echo.
As a side note, he now has enough metal present in his body to set off metal detectors. God help him.

EASING HIM BACK INTO ALL THIS GENTLY, I SEE. WOW.

Echo approved again! GO ADD THAT SHIT TO YOUR POST OR ELSE
