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: Julien
Reason for Echo: Tokyo lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, knowledge
What is returned: A summation of world history from 2068-2188. Sumatra killing most of the world, Carneades ravaging and uplifting birds, the war, the armistice, the treaties and terrorism and continuing conflict, things with less to do with humans like who the prime minister of Japan is and what species are in the process of uplifting and integrating into society…
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Being in Japan, surrounded by… people speaking Japanese. Julien's not unfamiliar and can understand a little, but he hasn't been immersed before.
Type and tier: Tier 1, knowledge
What is returned: Fluency in understanding the language. Since he’s already made some attempts to learn to read and speak it he can scrape by.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Almost dying for the first time. Tash got very nearly killed multiple times each month starting when she was thirteen. Within a year of this she became practically nonchalant about it and willing to befriend, trust, and look out for someone who'd, say, grabbed her by the neck and dragged her twenty meters within hours of them doing it.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental
What is returned: She retains a fear of dying and will still fight to stay alive and in one piece, or to save someone else, but it's no longer distressing or worth lingering on. Convenient non-trauma.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Proximity to Lazarus (permission has been given!)
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: oh hey these are the pieces of a lightsaber! They really just need to be assembled with a few crystals in order to work. One is an echo she got earlier.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Proximity to Tony (permission has been given!)
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: Starfly One, a truck-sized bright yellow ship designed to be agile and good for short distances only. It may or may not come with repulsorlifts to move with, a push-or-pull tractor beam that can shift as much mass as the ship itself has, and a weak laser.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Proximity to Tony (permission has been given!)
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental
What is returned: Knowing how to assemble or modify a lightsaber. With the right parts she could make more, but that’s for the future.
Character: Nat
Reason for Echo: Running into some of Aaron's army of ghosts! Tash met a ghost Jedi and the wraiths haunting a dead world.
Type and tier: Tier 1, power/ability
What is returned: Affinity for ghosts. She can communicate with them with the help of the Force, and they tend to like her and see her as important - or just not want to kill her, in the more mindless cases. This might extend to Ghost Zone creatures too.
suddenly the ghost zone is completely safe for her but not anyone she's withCharacter: Nat
Reason for Echo: Tokyo lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, power
What is returned: More psychic-ness. She's more aware of people, especially ones she's formed connections with. Nat may know if they're hurt or seriously upset, more clearly if they're close. If they die she knows, regardless of distance, and may know details.
...up close she may finish their sentences sometimes. This is sort of mind reading but it's basically just their words like half a second before they're said. Often-reused things like greetings, introductions, and sales pitches are easiest and can be done with many people. People she's close to, she might be able to finish sentences they've considered and constructed with care.
Character: Gwyneth
Reason for Echo: Amy's giant robot warehouse. Kuvira's armies have a lot of minimecha, and she has a giant one controlled by metalbending.
Type and tier: Tier 1, power
What is returned: Metalbending, though at the same low level as her Earthbending. Sensing them, it's hard to hurt her with them, able to punch through or tear it apart bare handed.
Character: Gwyneth
Reason for Echo: Tokyo lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, power
What is returned: Stronger earth/metal bending, the ability to pick up and throw things of her element without touching them.

-Ship comes without the push-or-pull tractor beam that can shift as much mass as the ship itself has and the weak laser.
-The ghostzone creatures will act like regular ghosts when it comes to her.
That said, all echoes except for the last one are approved! Please update your info post.
For the last one - while I understand that metalbending is an earthbender-power, they still seem to be separate powers, so they would require separate echoes to strengthen them. Thus:
Last echo is approved as a Tier 2.

Can I swap the Starfly in for her X-Wing? Its weapons systems offline and possibly its shields too.
