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.

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia | Brendan Blake
Reason for Echo: Buying and putting in a pair of blue contacts to cover up his now ~*purple*~ eyes, and/or possibly also removing them BECAUSE
What is returned: The memory of removing his contacts with unnecessary drama and commanding a room full of people in funky uniforms to BECOME HIS SLAVES. This memory includes his original name, a "Yes, Your Majesty," and an "All hail Lelouch!" but not really anything in the way of context.



Pretty please with sugar on top?

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alex
Reason for Echo: Touching the snake statue in the Dead District in Starcream's tear it down gathering. (Has not yet happened but will.)
What is returned: Regenerative healing, 1/2 of its potential.

[theearth]

YES YOUR HIGHNESS

Echo approved, you know what to do.

[theearth]

Given Alex's relative newness to the game, the relative strength of his abilities (even at half-power), and that this would be his first in-game Echo, I'll have to request this either be toned down further or saved for a later date. Or some other suggestion you can think of. I'm all ears on that front.

[amberhearted]

Sure! What if it were broken down into fourths?

[theearth]

That'll do just fine.

If you wish to go with that, Echo approved. Don't forget to update your info post accordingly.

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia | Brendan Blake
Reason for Echo: The conversation with Casval here.
What is returned: PARTIAL GEASS + memory of Geassing a bunch of soldiers to kill themselves. Basically, what Casval is saying parallels a lot of the mini monologue Lelouch gives at the end of the very first episode of the series, so he'd remember ordering them to kill themselves + regain some of his Geass. In this case, Geass would just be a strong suggestion rather than an absolute order, so anyone given it would have the opportunity to resist if the character/mun were so inclined.

[theearth]

Echo approved, with the limitations as discussed. One of the mods I'm sure you can guess which will work with you regarding the development of the power over time, just so it doesn't run out of bounds too quickly.

Otherwise, get suggestin'. I mean... if you wouldn't mind, Your Highness.

[kingside]

yeah no I am definitely going to be limiting the fuck out of this for QUITE SOME TIME. Stupid Geass is ridiculously overpowered and

And yeah. That. Getting on that, thank you. ♥ Will be in touch.

echoes x3

[redelivers]

I'M REALLY SORRY I don't mean to ask for so many at once but a lot of these are backdated because I'm horrible about filling out forms.

Player: Liv
Character: Hijikata Toshizou
Reason for Echo: Fought some werewolves and won(?)
What is returned: His blue Shinsengumi haori, which was the uniform of his old military group back in the day.

Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: Also fought some werewolves.
What is returned: A memory of helping Lelouch not die in some kind of pretty forest.

Character: Amaimon
Reason for Echo: WEREWOLVES.
What is returned: Could he possibly get his demon familiar back? Behemoth, pictured here lovingly gnawing on Mephisto's head, is a beach ball sized hobgoblin who mostly just follows Amaimon around like a slightly slow puppy. Slow as in stupid, it keeps up okay at a run.

[iaijutsu]

Player: Sam
Character: Hajime Saitou
Reason for Echo: werewolf huntan
What is returned: The blue Shinsengumi haori. No special properties, just meaningful clothing.

[deathcough]

Player: Kalyn
Character: Souji Okita | Souji Sasaoki
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans
What is returned: the Shinsengumi haori, which was his old uniform.

[mightymegatron]

Player: Stefan
Character: Megatron
Reason for Echo: Seeing the Cybertronian eyes of his friend, Chris in this log.
What is returned: A memory of the skyline of Cybertron.


Character: Megatron
Reason for Echo: Helping to tear down the statue in the Dead District.
What is returned: How to read and write Cybertronian, but not the name of its language, its origins, etc.

[formermagicalgirl]

Player: Nadia
Character: Takako/Fenrir
Reason for Echo: touching the statue in the dead district before its torn down. Will happen in this post.
What is returned: The ability to use her hair as a weapon of sorts as shown in this video Minus the ability to drain energy to the point of making someone comatose, more just can tie someone up with it. If possible, also just the memory of that short little bit from where Sasame attacks her, she retaliates and he ends up nearly dead.

I'm going more for the ability to use it, but not quite yet the ability to use it well and considering it is an ability born of despair, until she masters it (maybe a few months of practice?) or receives an echo for the rest it will have an equally high chance of backlashing and entangling her to be fair since it is pretty powerful even without the draining ability.

And actually will go ahead and post for the new guy too since I just tossed him right into plot.

Character: Leonhardt
Reason for Echo: snake statue destruction
What is returned: The ability to summon Kernviter. The sword itself will just look like the one he had in his preincarnation, but otherwise act like a normal sword since it's going to take more than a couple of echoes to regain all its funky abilities.

[searchforpeace]

Player: Melon
Character: Audrey Burne / Mineva Lao Zabi
Reason for Echo: Touching the snake statue in the Dead District before it's torn down, via this log with Takako and Colette.
What is returned: Some of that there Newtype latent empathy/thought projection. In canon she's only begun to show awakenings of it, reaching out to Banagher to ask him to catch her. Y'know, after she throws herself out of the damn plane and is free-falling to earth.

Here I plan to have the ability be much the same - she'll get vague feelings at first, wee hints. Newtype empathy works as a sort of 'spatial awareness' more than a true sixth sense/ability to read emotions. Seriously, think of Jedi's ability to 'feel' things while blindfolded. IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.
Likewise the thought projection portion is just going to be weak and pretty shallow until Audrey both acknowledges it and begins actually trying to use it.

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sam Iwata / Sasame

Reason for Echo: Thread hasn't happened yet, but Takako-mun and I are planning on having Sam literally run into Tamara, which will give him a canon-reoccurance echo. (This is the scene from canon that it'll mirror--episode 9, starting at around 18:50. I know this probably seems like something minor enough that it wouldn't cause an echo, but it's a major turning point for Sasame, since it's the first moment that he realizes Takako is working in Himeno's home, and it's also what prompts him to confess his love for her and forsake his role as a knight.)

What is returned: The memory of seeing "Mikage" turn and look at him, along with the feelings he had at that moment--longing, guilt, regret, anger and frustration directed at himself and Hayate (although he won't remember who Hayate is, just maybe a vague knowledge that not all of his emotions are directed at himself or the girl in the Echo), just a general big ball of negative emotions. However, I'm not wanting him to know TOO much about what was going on at that moment yet, so the sounds in his memory will be muted enough that he won't be able to tell what she's saying or even what her voice sounds like. The image and emotions are just what he's going to get back.

[edhwierfan]

Player: Kamilah
Character: Aeron Penning / Arthur Pendragon
Reason for Echo: Bantering with Emery/Merlin in this thread.
What is returned: The vague sense that Emery/Merlin can be trusted, and some snippets of banter from their previous life. (I can choose just one conversation in particular if that's too vague!)

[theearth]

All approved!

...but that last one's only approved if Behemoth tries to eat Haro at some point, because I find the idea hilarious. Update that info post!

[theearth]

Approved! Start slashing in style, samurai, and update your info post.

[theearth]

Approved! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Approved! Twice! Please remember to update your info post.

[theearth]

Approved! Twice! Just be reasonable with the sword use for now (i.e. let's not go chopping half the city up) and we're golden.

[theearth]

Approved! Come join the glorious Newtype Collective, Spacenoid! One of us. One of us.

...oh, yeah. And update your info post, I guess.

[theearth]

Approved!

Remember to update your info post, yeah?

[theearth]

Because so much of Merlin and Arthur's relationship is... built upon banter in the show, the snippets suggestion is just fine. Echo approved!

Please remember to update your info post.
