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.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Recurrence while heading out with Aaron on a "mission" to investigate the site of the bombing. There are some ways in which Aaron is like Yuuya's handler/superior, Leone J.B. - amazingly sketchy guy who tends to be taciturn and mysterious, definitely on his side, ignores a lot of the silly things Juliyuuya says but pays attention when he's got something serious, is his superior and an older veteran, simultaneously looks after him and sends him into danger. And smokes.
Type and tier: Memory/knowledge, Tier 1
What is returned: An impression of Leone - the color and shape of his wings, the look of his eyes, the sound of his voice, impressions of his... sort of coat thing, the gold dog tags around his neck, his cigars. And with that, Leone's name and usual alias, Mr. One, and an idea of what they are to each other - independent but Leone ranks him, supplies him, gives him orders, they've been in the field together but Leone's older. The sense that he trusts him, to a point.

Character: sollux/soren
Reason for Echo: this post; as feferi's server player in the game, he helped to modify her hive which was an underwater castle with purply-pink windows
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: just the memory of seeing feferi's hive and that yes indeed it is a sunken castle and that a friend of his lived there

Player: Cat
Character: Zelos Wilder
Reason for Echo: Having trouble finding the answer to a difficult situation while talking to Brooke
Type and tier: Mental/Tier 1
What is returned: His special magic words: whatever will be, will be. ...They don't actually do anything, it's just an outlook on life that will be returned to him.

[professorwolf]

It's the first time anyone has talked about (even jokingly) actually USING silver bullets on him, rather than just mentioning it in passing or him reading about it.

[theearth]

Fair enough, then - Echo approved! Please update your info post accordingly!

Player: kya
Character: soren
Reason for Echo: snake encounter tonight
Type and tier: ability + item, tier 2
What is returned: first i would like for soren to echo back his throwing stars (they're really just plain old throwing stars, nothing particularly special about them they just look cool basically lol). and also i would like to increase his psionics again, at the moment he can lift up to his own weight and i would like to increase that to around 500 lbs or so if that works?

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Encounter with newly-awakened snake statues in the subway.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Item
What is returned: The Two-Edged Sword, also known as the Two-Handed Sword or Bastard Sword. 'Tis more or less what the terms of reference would suggest - and about as heavy especially to one who's muscles are deteriorating; his past self has to all but drag it after him in canon and can chop a human-sized, human-shaped enemy in half with a swing that he really puts his back into.


Reason for Echo: A run-in with Blood Keys - likely planned along with Ax-Alex and Aria.
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Physical/Mental
What is returned: Step 6/6 into deadness - which is death. Vitals will drop to nothing; he's not going to need to breathe, but will still likely do it anyway through force of habit; and will no longer self-repair - but'll also not be able to be killed finally-finally by damage to anything non-essential. That's to say organ damage and/or loss of blood would be things that wouldn't kill him. He could be killed if damaged to an extent that his body couldn't so-to-speak hold itself up any longer (in canon he's killed either by magic blasting him into submission and/or having his skull bashed in with a mace twice; decapitation is another thing that it'd be safe to assume would kill him) or didn't give his mind anything to attach to (such as in the case of incineration or crushing to death). Unless he's permanently killed, at this point he'll be effectively immortal, in a bit of muddling of terminology.

It's going to be accompanied by the memory of what happened when his past self hit the same point - and the second (or rather first) half of a memory he's already gotten - which is to say he burst into a room, saw that Charlemagne had been murdered, and then died. It is not a very good memory. 8|

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Player: Trouble
Character: Reimu Hakurei
Reason for Echo: Off Screen visit to the Tuning Towers (driven by a mix of curiosity and annoyance at the buzzing)
Type and tier: Skill and Item(?)/Tier 2
What is returned: Basic flight capability (as in her ability to fly without the hax part of said ability) and the ability to conjure/throw/shoot one of her basic shot types, Homing Talismans.

[moralizes]

Player: Kelsey
Character: Izuru Yoshinaga (Izuru Kira)
Reason for Echo: Talking and thinking about the possibility that his employer has lead him to act against the numbers unwittingly and struggling with what he should do in regard to keeping or quitting his job in light of this.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 2? Is this two? Babby's first echo request
What is returned: The memory of trying to kill Hinamori to save Ichimaru and the immense guilt he felt for it.
He won't know their names or who they are, though.

[worldmother]

Player: Sheepy
Character: Elly O'Connell
Reason for Echo: Seeing an image of Banagher's beam saber
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Remembering that she was a fighter, and that her primary weapon was a rod/sword of some kind (in the manual it's referred to as a rod, however she uses it like a rapier). The design, save for the beam part of the sword itself, is very similar if not identical to the one that Banagher shows her in construction.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: Running into the snakes in the subway scene
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 2
What is returned: The memory of just how old the "other fellow" is, which feeds into an added sense of confidence and experience that will help keep him level-headed in tough spots. Because I'm tired of him moping about being useless :|

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall again
Reason for Echo: Canon reoccurrence. Fighting with a werewolf and a bugman on full moon night. The bugman isn't very canonical, but he fought with other werewolves all the time in canon.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: The first step of "fighting with soul", that is, keeping one's mind wild a wolf. This only affects situations in which he is not injured, nervous, hungry, angry, or in combat, and does not affect the full moon nights in the slightest. Thus, it is not something that can be used right now, since he can only transform on the full moon.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Starscream/Chris Starsky
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence. Marisa about to blow up a snake and Chris being like ARE YOU NUTS DON'T DO THAT
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: A good 50% of the Transformers cartoon* is Starscream yelling at Megatron to not do the damn thing dude are you a fucking idiot you're going to blow us all up and get us killed and our plans are going to FAIL CHRIST DON'T DO THE THING

Chris will remember the name Megatron, and the name will make her blood boil holy christ what a moron. She'll really, really hope that asshole got what was coming to him, whoever he was, what a dick. She won't remember much else, besides a feeling that the dude had some kind of authority over her, and that once upon a time she might have respected him.



* the other 50% is Starscream trying to kill Megatron, or doing the stupid thing himself.

Before we stamp approval, recall that Tuning Towers is currently guarded - would Reimu take care in her approach, or would she likely be noticed?
