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.

Character: Gwyneth
Reason for Echo: There are kids on the Network and doing dangerous things. In her world, seventy years ago various kids from ages 12-17 fought, plotted, and changed the world.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental
What is returned: Kids going into danger is totally normal. If they can fight and choose this on their own, they're not too young.
Character: Gwyneth
Reason for Echo: First-time teleporting
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical
What is returned: Kuvira's appearance - darker golden skin, green eyes, slightly different features, twenty three years old and thus a little faster, healthier etc than a thirty-seven year old.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: oh are we talking in weird ugly-sounding languages? There's a common trade language called Huttese which it's never stated Tash knows, but she has no trouble understanding Jabba the Hutt, established to speak it to everyone.
Type and tier: Tier 1, knowledge
What is returned: Ability to speak/understand Huttese, just not write or read it.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Teleporter!
Type and tier: Tier 1, knowledge
What is returned: A little knowledge of the Holy Order of the Jedi Knights - monastic guardians of peace and justice, in communion with a sacred power that blessed them with strange skills and talents. It's said they could read minds, make things float, see the future, heal etc, and they had shining swords. Knowledge that the Order is truly ancient and has been through various twists and turns, there have been many schisms and branching offs, flowerings and withdrawings. That it was purged. Officially all members and collaborators have been hunted down and killed, the sacred sites have been razed, all knowledge of it is forbidden, all artifacts are to be destroyed.
Of course that will just make it seem desirable to know more.
