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: Joysweeper
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Ghost wolpertinger
Type and tier: Tier 1, power
What is returned: Tash's (untrained) shield ability. She can in a pinch erect an invisible shield around herself. Nothing can pass through it and may in fact be pressed back, though a stronger psychic can tear it down. It only lasts a handful of seconds before collapsing, and it's tiring to produce, plus she can't do it at will.

Reason for Echo: Getting a pair of friendship bracelets with red stones in them in order to give one to her half-sister. Tash's mother had a pair of identical necklaces, red stone pendants, and gave one to Tash. Tash later charged it with the Force preparatory to building her lightsaber around it - it glows faintly and there's a bittersweet emotion attached, if you're sensitive.
Type and tier: Item, Tier 1
What is returned: Tash's pendant on its chain. Is the glow and feeling allowed?

Can she have a doppleganger? Her first echo was London Lights well before she introed, and idk what's happened with the swan but it was intact then. If not she can meet someone else's at some point for the first, and please disregard the second!
Reason for Echo: Doppleganger contact
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical
What is returned: The scars from a brain removal. They're across her scalp and a little ways down the back of her neck, well-healed and not obvious. As long as she doesn't get a buzz cut you need to be quite close to see them. Blows to the head may have more of an effect.

Reason for Echo: Seeing a copy of herself. Tash once stumbled upon an experimental cloning facility and had to handle many clones of herself, all with weirdly altered personalities.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Some of the end of book 11, Clones. Seeing the cloning apparatus, being concussed, meeting her weeping clone and the clone horde, fearing that she's one and deciding she isn't.
