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.

Not a problem! Just wanted the summoning more for the ability to have it with him and be able to conceal it because one can't hide a sword that huge all that easily. No worries about violence until the curse it has is regained.

Player: kou
Character: banagher links
Reason for Echo: this conversation with casval, particularly the initial closing line, is nearly identical to a line in a conversation banagher had with bright noa aboard the ra cailum battleship. where he was told: "Just like every other Gundam pilot, I like to think that it chose you. It was always the inevitable outcome, for better or worse. Be brave enough to fight off despair. If you're a Gundam pilot, a Newtype, you can do it."
What is returned: basically the memory of that conversation. so he has a name to assign to his crazy powers, and a very peripheral awareness of the unicorn gundam in the background of said convo.

[angelskills]

Player: Kero.
Character: Colette Brunel.
Reason for Echo: Visiting the snake statue with Tamara and Audrey! Can be found here.
What is returned: Her Cruxis Crystal. The Cruxis Crystal is kind of a big deal so I'm going to explain why I've chosen it! Canonly, Colette is actually born with the stone in her hand (ew gross) and I'd like to follow along canon with her echos and how things effect her. So that's number one! The Cruxis Crystal is, essentially, a power booster/body enhancer and eventually what allows Colette to become an empty vessel for the Goddess Martel. Everything she'll be getting later hinders on the Cruxis Crystal.

Of course, right now, the Cruxis Crystal will give her no additional powers - it'll just be a pretty piece that she'll think her grandma picked up at a yard sale and decided to wear. However! While the Cruxis Crystal will be dormant as far as powers go for now, canonly its touch without a Rune crest leads to Colette developing a disease called Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium. It occurs when the body of a Cruxis Crystal bearer rejects the crystal and takes on a crystallized form, and is very rare, happening to one in a million. Of course, Colette develops it, and they eventually need to create a Rune crest for her. As of now she will not have the Rune crest - only the Cruxis Crystal is coming along for the ride. So I'd like for the only effect of the crystal at this point to be beginning to slowly poison her. There would be no effects of this for quite some time, but the sooner I can start it the more development I can give it! \8D/

[deathcough]

Player: Kalyn
Character: Souji
Reason for Echo: Talking to Casval about his purpose in life.
What is returned: His memory of a talk with Chizuru about the meaning of his life, after slaughtering men in the streets. ("My job is to kill our enemies" etc.)

[11ady]

Player: Robyn
Character: Lady Une
Reason for Echo: Conversation with Casval and asking if he'd say goodbye to Euphie before going off to die
What is returned: Treize being a dick and not saying goodbye before going off to die OTL Basically, this script excerpt:

Wufei: How many people have died for you?!
Treize: Do you really want to know? As of yesterday 99,822 people.
Wufei: What?!
Treize: Lady, how many have died today?
Une: So far, we have received confirmation of the deaths of 82 White Fang soldiers and 105 of our own soldiers.
Treize: I see. Give me their names later on today.
Une: Yes, sir. I will.

And then he didn't come back. Yay. 8| Man, that took awhile to transcribe.

[theearth]

I apologize. At this time, His Majesty cannot be reached for comment or approval, as he is currently tied up in other, more important matters.

But as his ever faithful supplicant, I validate this Echo whole-heartedly, and implore you to update your info post with all due expedience.

GLORY TO OZ.

you butt B|

yes i know that's wesker don't judge me

[wordsgate]

Sweet! Will do~ =Db

[edhwierfan]

Player: Kamilah
Character: Aeron Penning / Arthur Pendragon
Reason for Echo: discussing group/battle organization in this thread.
What is returned: Arthur's grasp of military/battle strategy (including how to schedule patrols and arrange defense of a city)

(I'll slow down on the echoes, promise!)

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie/Lightning
Reason for Echo: Staring intensely at this writing for too long.
What is returned: The memory of staring at this inscription for too long, which is written in an alphabet different than Lightning was used to... actually regaining the knowledge of the alphabet she did know.

[reapsthewind]

Player:TealDeer
Character:Christobel Starsky
Reason for Echo:Matt Brillion's recent post with Cybertronian language. Hey, that's Starscream's native tongue, of course it should trigger SOMETHING.
What is returned: Unhelpfully, NOT the Cybertronian language. Instead, she's going to get the Decepticon faction symbol:



Only she's going to remember it as upside-down (because that's how the symbol appears on Starscream's wings)

She will not get the name of this faction, or the name of the symbol, just the symbol, and the following opinions about it: In her mind, it'll be a symbol of uprising and revolution. It's also a symbol of conquest, but naturally she's going to see that as a good thing, since her pre-incarnation was the one doing the conquering. So conquest that's totally for the greater good? Right??? CRUSHING OUR OPPRESSORS AND MAKING THEM BLEEEEED BECAUSE THEY SHOUUUULD. In any case, in her mind it's going to be something important, a very deeply personal symbol.

[exloserspromise]

Player: Effing
Character: Sandy/Steve
Reason for Echo: Elian raising the possibility of using Cybertronian as a cipher in Matt's recent post.
What is returned: Sugar variant of the Joint Army/Navy phonetic alphabet, which was used to standardize and clarify radio communication between branches of the US military during and after WWII. It's probably the simplest of the various codes Steve learned and used during the war and not even really a secret one, but it can still be confusing to someone unfamiliar with the concept of using whole words to represent their starting letters.

[testsonseashells]

Should have gotten to this much earlier, but hey.

Player: G-man
Character: Mordin Solus
Reason for Echo: Encountering the werewolves
What is returned: Mordin will regain a greater portion of his salarian physiology. His metabolism will now be equal to that of a full salarian's, and he will have an eidetic memory.

[theearth]

I'll go ahead and grant this (and pacing isn't really an issue here), I'd just request Arthur not be, uh... general-tier quite yet, if that makes sense, since he's still relatively new. So I'd suggest making him pretty good at strategy, but not quite at the level of a seasoned soldier yet. He can get better at it later, of course.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[theearth]

Sounds good. Echo approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[theearth]

Going to have to say pick one or the other here (as in, either the metabolism or the memory). The two functions don't really have anything to do with each other, beyond being under the broader umbrella of physiology, and eidetic-class memory would be a bit too powerful for a second Echo on top of the heightened metabolism, too.

[testsonseashells]

I'll stick with the eidetic memory, then. I can edit the original post to reflect that if necessary.

[theearth]

Yep, sounds good. In the future, if there's ever any doubt regarding an Echo, just wait for it to be approved before proceeding in a thread. Just so we don't run into the painful brick wall that is retconning repeatedly.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TOO SOON TO REQUEST ONE FORGIVE ME IF SO /o\

[wastingtime]

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Christobel showing a certain symbol.
What is returned: A memory of his first experience with that symbol - rather, someone wearing it. It'll be literally only a second or two, with the attached feelings of startlement and confusion. Hey, this guy did all but trick him that he was a good guy, not that he'll remember that...

[earnedmystripes]

Player: Batty
Character: Kaburagi
Reason for Echo: Getting drunk with Casval in his apartment and them eventually passing out on the floor together
What is returned: A sense of there being "someone missing" in his life, someone that was extremely important to him that he used to do things like that with.

Reason for Echo: When the creepy nighttime stuff happens eventually (specifically, the "I wanted to save the Earth" dream)
What is returned: His original crapsuit hero suit.
