Echo Requests (retired)

[theearth]

New Echo Request page here!

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.

Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger 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.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Randolph Lyall
Reason for Echo: Interacting with a Vermini, in this log, provided my rp partner agrees to one or two showing up :)
What is returned: The rest of his supernatural sense of smell (not hearing yet)

ETA: I have permission from Fai-mun, so the miniplot is good to go if I get approval from you :)

[theearth]

Approved!

[comparative_insanity]

Player: Emi
Character: Fai D Flourite

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Lightning/"Kallie"
Reason for Echo: Declaring this year's version of her birthday and/or April Fool's Day to be ~the worst ever~
What is returned: The memory of this (Lightning not believing that Serah is a l'Cie and really disapproving of the girl's wedding plans), from the beginning to Serah running away in tears.

[theearth]

Approved!

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Possession is a big canon parallel. Him either witnessing it or excessive talk of it should be enough to trigger it.
What is returned: Fragments of the first time that Bakura Ryou and Yami Bakura spoke.

Also, as related to that scene, the start of memories of the Sennen Ring. Currently just appearance and that it's important. Ideally, since the Ring is present in basically 99% of all Bakurae canon appearances, a bit more about it should be returned every echo, if that works?

[theearth]

Approved!

To answer your question: Hints of the Ring can be picked up over time, sure.

[northless]

Player: Effy
Character: Robb Stark
Reason for Echo: He picked up a box of puppies--six of them--on his way home from work, which I'm actually going to post about. (If approved the Echo will probably like. Take a week or something.)
What is returned: The time when he, his lord father, his brother, his half-brother and his best friend came across a dead direwolf and said direwolf's litter of pups suckling on it.

[horrorterribubble]

Player: Quix
Character: Coral Peixes
Reason for Echo: Interactions with vermini, particularly the dreaded teeth crow.
What is returned: Combat reflexes - basically a more subtle part one to the Condesce's combat abilities. It's sort of like instinctive muscle memory type jazz.

[theearth]

Approved!

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Vermini encounter - I expect he'll be jumped by a couple of rats, take a shot at one (before they can go for the eyes, naturally), and oust the Vermini from at lease that one.
What is returned: The memory of the bonethief victim in the coffin.

[theearth]

Approved!

[twopercent]

Player: Skai
Character: Raiden
Reason for Echo: Run-in with vermini-posessed animals in his home
What is returned: Memory of one particular conversation with Snake about reality (the end of MGS2) ((Although not who Snake is or other related details.))

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Lightning
Reason for Echo: Fighting off and then being exposed to Vermini here. (As in, said exposure plus the canon parallel of chaos dissipating after monsters are defeated.)
What is returned: In short, some of FFXIII's bestiary. Basically, the general knowledge of 'Feral Creatures' listed here... but with the catch that she'll only know the general appearance/characteristics of each type of monster and only the categorical names (e.g., 'flans' instead of 'rust puddings'/'gelatitans,' and 'spooks' instead of 'gremlins'/'imps'). There's no actual memory of encountering any of them... just a reference for something weird if she ever hears the word 'wyvern' or like... thinks of a cactus and also knows of an annoying beastie that runs around being eccentric.

[secondcomingof]

Player: Deus
Character: Full Frontal
Reason for Echo: This number right here, fresh off the presses!
What is returned: Yeah, so mentions of "human extinction"? Char was pretty much trying to drive humanity into near extinction all throughout Char's Counterattack. Direct canon parallel. So I'm thinking he's going to remember shouting his intentions of doing so at Amuro as they're flying around fighting in their respective mobile suits. He'll see and hear himself and probably make the connection between Char Aznable = this guy trying to kill the other guy while being incredibly crazy.

[theearth]

Approved!

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura Ryou
Reason for Echo: The murder of Paul & his family, and the burning everything as cover up for the greater good is a maaaasive canon parallel to the massacre at Kul Elna and creation of the Sennen Items to protect the kingdom.
What is returned: Thief King's memories of the massacre and ceremony creating the Items, and the knowledge of the reason for the Items creation.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Witnessing the death of Paul.
What is returned: Memory of his reading of the Tome of Eternal Darkness. He won't remember the screaming hallway or actually picking up the Tome itself, or the actual act of reading, but he will remember the gists of stories about a Roman soldier named Pious Augustus and a Cambodian slave dancer girl named Ellia.

[theearth]

Approved!

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Witnessing Paul's death, specifically the line "It's an IT, not a he. You have to be alive to be a he," as well as the gun used to kill Paul. The extinction talk also works with the memory, too.
What is returned: He'll remember Tachibana, transformed as Garren, wanting to seal him. Garren's pointing a gun at him and calling him Joker and a death machine that needs to be sealed away. He's in human form, but he's talked about as though he's a horrible life-ending monster who will bring about the end of all life on Earth. Kenzaki's there, but the memory ends before Kenzaki interposes himself in between the two and tries to defend Hajime.

[comparative_insanity]

Player: Emi
Character: Fai D Flourite
Reason for Echo: Breaking the trend here with this thread in the library, a certain library being an important personal turning point for Fai in canon.
What is returned: An item memory. It's a copy of the Book of Memories, a book which replicates the memories of the first person to look through it, and allows the second person who does to see their memories. Only for now, it's just an ordinary book with blank pages.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: The death of Paul Ben at the hands of the police chief.
What is returned: Lyall's memory of preparing to rescue Biffy, from discovering his location to getting the queen's permission to arriving at the docks. With this memory comes a lot of investigative instinct and some automatic reactions (how to ask the right question, how to make one's self less suspicious-looking, etc), but nothing really conscious (like how to file supernatural paperwork or handle a gun).

[theearth]

Approved!

[horrorterribubble]

Player: Quix
Character: Cori
Reason for Echo: Seeing Paul get murdered.
What is returned: A lovely memory of a young Condesce killing her predecessor in a fight to the death for the Alternian throne. Of course, she wins quite handily, and makes a good show of it too.

[theearth]

Approved!

back again but it's another totally useless thing??

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Lightning
Reason for Echo: Casval belittling her in the same way Caius is inclined to taunt her when they fight.
What is returned: The very very beginning stage of summoning her gladius gunblade like so, looking like this at its most substantial- only a shimmery outline that you can hardly tell is a weapon at first and doesn't last for more than a second.

Maybe a couple of white feathers too the first time but then infrequently depending on how hard she tries afterward. Because feathers.

[theearth]

Approved!

[twopercent]

Player: Skai
Character: Raiden
Reason for Echo: Beatdown by General Miller + getting tortured
What is returned: Memories of a huge chunk of the end section of MGR; spoilers but the final boss beatdown for canon similarity purposes, and the rest (Metal Gear Excelsus, etc) for the Echo he gets from fighting the General.

Also for getting tortured: an Echo of getting tentacle-strangled by Solidus Snake (and that he had been a twisted father figure in his life, but none of the specifics -- I'd like to save the child soldier thing for a special occasion later~.)

[theearth]

Approved! And approved again! And approved a third time on top of that!

OOPS I FORGOT TO DO THIS

[11ady]

Player: Robyn
Character: Lady Une | Elle Une
Reason for Echo: Watching the death of Paul Ben
What is returned: Memory of throwing Septem off a plane and shooting him. The tag detailing this was posted to Paul Ben's death post! I'll delete if this is not approved. o7 Sorry for any inconvenience!

[theearth]

DECLINED BECAUSE HOW DARE YOU-uh.

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[masterofbling]

Player: Robyn
Character: Petyr Baelish
Reason for Echo: Paul Ben's death
What is returned: A Valyrian steel dagger used in the attempted assassination of Bran Stark. In canon, Petyr used this dagger to start a conflict between the Starks and Lannisters by saying the dagger was his but he lost it to Tyrion Lannister thus leading Catelyn to believe that Tyrion sent the assassin after Bran.

[theearth]

[reckless_fire]

Player: Sylver
Character: Kenji/Kazuma
Reason for Echo: Paul Ben's death
What is returned: A brief memory of being captured, tortured, and interrogated by HOLY; and the scars on his right arm.

[theearth]

Hey; just the memory or the scars would count as one Echo. I'm afraid you'll have to pick one or the other.

[comparative_insanity]

Player: Emi
Character: Fai D Flourite
Reason for Echo: The fact that Jack is missing an arm is about as huge a fucking canon parallel as you can get for this poor bastard.
What is returned: A huge bunch of memories surrounding Kurogane - although he doesn't remember his face or his name. Just that there was someone who sacrificied his own arm to save him, someone who he has fought side by side with, and someone who - strangest of all - has forced him to drink blood. With it will return some basic battle-reflexes and hand-to-hand combat abilities, but only the knowledge necessary to fight back-to-back with someone, so somewhat useless while he's on his own.

[theearth]

Could you reduce the memories down into one specific moment, please? A whole bunch of them at once doesn't really fit the system.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris / Starscream
Reason for Echo: Seeing Paul die. In addition to it just being what it is, it's someone getting killed when they thought they were perfectly safe.
What is returned: A brief, but very fuzzy and incomprehensible memory of dying at a moment of triumph (no knowledge of being a robot, mostly just the feeling and Galvatron's voice), and then Starscream's immortal Spark, as described in my application. The only actual, noticeable effect will be a mild static electricity field and a big feeling of body dysphoria.

wheee.

[theearth]

Approved!

[iaijutsu]

Player: Sam
Character: Hajime Saitou
Reason for Echo: Seeing Paul die. (Which will be tagged once I have the Echo sorted out, naturally!)
What is returned: I'd like to get the memory of Saitou's own death back - canon doesn't actually show it or detail how it happened, it's just reported as happening offscreen, but given that the age of the sword ending/the shogunate getting its ass kicked by new technology is a huge theme in Hakuouki and the imperialists start using silver bullets, I think him getting gunned down is the conclusion we're meant to draw.

If that's too much headcanon, though, then I'd like to go with losing some of his forces to the gunfire at Toba-Fushimi instead.

[theearth]

Approved!

[dorkytracksuit]

Player: Aki
Character: The Psionic (Davin Carter)
Reason for Echo: Vermini Encounter
What is returned:Slight return of his prophetic abilities, specifically, getting a bad feeling when characters are in near death situations. If this is not acceptable than I'd like him to get a memory, one of his guardian dying.

Reason for Echo: Paul's Death
What is returned: A memory, specifically, of being welcomed into Signless' group.

[theearth]

Approved! Twice!
