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.

[italktofish]

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: This conversation, in which he is compared to a frog. Canon Arthur would have taken very strong offense at this, and StE Arthur hasn't been compared to one yet.
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: Aquaman had very definite opinions about amphibians--he never did like them. There's a canon instance in which he finds himself yelling and shaking his fist at a frog while shouting "LAND OR WATER! PICK A SIDE!" He'll be getting back that distrust of and dislike of amphibians (not the memory of yelling at the frog, though he'll have very similar reactions) because they can't just pick a side already, along with a sense that he is very definitely on the water side of things.

Echo approved - please update your info post accordingly!

[dominateartimus]

Player: Joc
Character: Xander Jarle / Sandrath
Reason for Echo: Being a part of the Tuning Towers expedition, interference team specifically.
Type and tier: 2, ability
What is returned: Being able to teleport and take people & items with him while using his shadow mimicry. At this point, he can only take one person or a small amount of things with him; as for teleporting, it would be short-ranged.

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Partaking in the Tuning Towers expedition led by Ravindra Savarna, assisting mission control.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Mental.
What is returned: Knowledge/grasp of Latin - not mastery, as it's unlikely to have been his past self's first language, but enough that it'd be safely comprehensible spoken to him or anyplace he could read it.

[siesinddasessen]

Player: Kira
Character: Blaine Frost \ Ymir
Reason for Echo: Chloe/Christa introducing herself to Blaine/Ymir with a name that is not Historia.
Type and tier: Tier One, mental
What is returned: The image of a blond, relatively long haired girl of twelve years dressed in an unobtrusive shirt and a long skirt, and the knowledge that the girl's name is Historia.

Before we formalize approval, for knowledge's sake, what'd be the nature of Xander's teleportation - for example, would it require navigating, so to speak, or would it be closer to willing himself to a certain location if he has some sense of where he's going?

[dominateartimus]

It would require navigation and planning at first before it'll become second nature to him. I apologize for leaving that out when I was writing / editing the request earlier this morning.

[theearth]

Not a problem in the slightest - and Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: Chris's explanation of energon, a substance very similar to enetron.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: WHAT THE FUCK IS ENETRON AND WHAT DOES IT DO. Cain will now know for certain all that he'd been sort of able to vaguely piece together about enetron from other Echoes, along with more details--i.e. that enetron is a powerful energy and fuel resource distilled from natural crystalline sources and usually presented in solid or liquid form, used to provide clean electrical power at a massive scale--serving as a replacement for gas in cars and powering entire cities, etc.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Talking about the possibility of Hajime being a fusion of a person and their kaa
Type and tier: 1, memory
What is returned: Memory of Mahaado allowing himself to be killed to fuse the two halves of his soul, to create the Black Magician and knock TKB down into the pit of plot device

[sun_sun]

Player: Prof
Character: Annie Cino
Reason for Echo: Upcoming Towers plot, exploration team
Type and tier: Item 1
What is returned: The Smile Pact, a device that will eventually provide Annie with a proper transformation sequence.

Player: Prof
Character: Sara Kirisame
Reason for Echo: Getting stoned and poking around on the internet looking for a pipe because nobody uses pipes anymore and they're so classy.
Type and tier: Item... 2, I'd think?
What is returned: Mamizou's pipe, along with Mamizou's collection of powerful, magical youkai weed.
Note: The latter half of this isn't canonical, but!
1) Mamizou does canonically has a pipe with her a lot of the time, so she's clearly not averse to some sort of substance usage,
2) She came from a magical island populated entirely by magical creatures with strange and mysterious powers, so any substances she DID have would absolutely be far beyond this mortal realm,
3) Japan historically has a cannabis tradition dating back to the Neolithic Jomon Period, and
4) Shit'll be hilarious.
I await your decision on this point.

[two_stones]

Oh, and coming across a pipe in her search that happens to exactly resemble the original article.

[sugoku]

Player: Shiny
Character: Calista/Escape
Reason for Echo: This log with her twin. After he showed her his equipment and the symbol on his cards,
Type and tier: Item echo Tier 1
What is returned: Her necklace and iPad like device. The necklace is because of him showing her the insignia that her necklace was shaped like.

The iPad operates and does what Enter's laptop (also something he shows her)does canonly. This being she can normally use it to make Metaroids/monsters. She wouldn't be able to power it on or work it without Enetron, so it's going to be virtually useless in it's current state.

[lackinginfaith]

Player: Jisu
Character: Kari Acosta
Reason for Echo: While Bakura doesn't have it quite right, he does suspect that Kari's past life was royalty in hiding, which she is.
Type and tier: 1 - memory
What is returned: The memory that she was a princess living in the castle she saw in her first Echo.

[ursoreckless]

Player: Alec
Character: Sho/Chinen Shou
Reason for Echo: Taking part in the Tuning Tower exploration as a member of the distracting team
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: A very basic understanding of working a gang that shoots people and robs them of their goods. He's not going to know everything, but it'll definitely have him believe that he is cannon fodder yakuza since shooting stuff up and then splitting the goods with a small gang of punks is sort of what he's seen in movies.

[glorifiedtrash]

Player: Cat
Character: Zelos Wilder
Reason for Echo: Toushirou showing Zelos his ice powers here
Type and tier: Type 1 Mental/Memory
What is returned: The knowledge that there is a flower that can freeze anything it touches called the Celsius's Tear and that it shouldn't be touched with one's bare hands

Character: Zelos Wilder
Reason for Echo: Luci showing Zelos her light powers here
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory
What is returned: The memory of performing Divine Judgment (but not the ability)

Character: Zelos Wilder
Reason for Echo: Tuning Tower expedition (log is here)
Type and tier: Tier 2 Item + Mental
What is returned: His Cruxis Crystal and the knowledge of how to perform Judgment.

Having his Cruxis Crystal will also allow him to perform Divine Judgment, but it'll be trial and error until he figures out how to do it properly (and considering it's so flashy he's going to have a hard time finding places to work that out). When he equips his Cruxis Crystal it's also going to start slowly sucking his soul out, but he won't know that. This isn't going to affect him noticeably immediately, but if he doesn't get his keycrest back within the next few months he'll start to become less emotional and more "robotic".

[stagnantair]

Player: nor
Character: Gavin Davis/Gale
Reason for Echo: WOW SAVING ALAN AND OCTAVIA SURE IS EXACTLY LIKE SAVING SERA FROM COORDINATE 136
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical
What is returned: His cyclone tattoo on his calf!

[dirtdevil]

Player: Alison
Character: Levi
Reason for Echo: This thread with Alan and Octavia
Type and tier: 1 / memory
What is returned: A memory of kicking the hell out of Eren in a courtroom. No memory of why yet, only a vague feeling that he only did it out of necessity.

[hollowleg]

Player: Bat
Character: Shiro
Reason for Echo: Breaking some morons out of jail
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory
What is returned: Shiro gets the distinct feeling that he's done this before. He remembers flashes of their break-in to Soul Society, a few blips of fights here and there, and he remembers this scene pretty vividly, though Ichigo's POV. However, the memories are hazy, as if his eyes are clouded, and voices and sounds are distorted and far away.

[mood2wiingiing]

Player: kya
Character: soren/sollux
Reason for Echo: rescue log! soren and aria are part of team distraction, which is at some point going to involve soren using his powers to float himself around above her in a very ominous manner like in this scene
Type and tier: memory/tier 1
What is returned: he already has vague memories of this mind control scene but this time i'd like him to get the actual more detailed memory specifically of killing aradia from that! if that's ok.

[eras]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Ravi's exploration thing (mission control)
Type and tier: Memory, 1.
What is returned: Getting Aradiabot and merging. So, uh, apparently she wasn't always a robot. 0k. As far as the pesterlog on the fourth link goes, she'll only remember up to "it feels different!"

Character: Aria/Aradia
Reason for Echo: During the jailbreak distraction team, Soren and Aria get into an unfortunately similar situation to canon (...minus the murder that comes after, because yeah). SUPER GREAT echoes ensue?
Type and tier: Memory, 1.
What is returned: This is how you die. WHAT A CHEERFUL MEMORY, RIGHT.

Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong
Reason for Echo: Ravi's exploration thing (exploration)
Type and tier: Ability, 1.
What is returned: Building up on her foot-sight deal, she'll be able to read people's vital signs kind of - breathing and heart rate, basically, which in canon she uses to tell when people are lying to her or not. Though if someone's a good enough liar that neither of those things change (see: AZULA'S OBVIOUS LIES, to prove that Toph couldn't tell when she was lying, to which Toph admitted she was good).

Sophie will probably use this power to annoy the hell out of people she knows, because that's her job.
