Echo Requests (retired)



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: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Lyall shooting down Bakura's offer to help with a "Stay put"
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: Jounouchi shooting down Bakura's attempt to help with a "Shut up"


Reason for Echo: Blood Keys run in
Type and tier: Ability / 1
What is returned: The distance that Diabound can be from him while summoned increasing to the radius of Locke (aka, if he were in the center, Diabound could reach the edge.)

In canon there didn't seem to be any limit, Isis went hunting the desert with hers while staying in the palace. The farther Diabound goes, the more concentration & baa it'll take for Bakura to see though his eyes/keep him summoned. (so basically he can't multitask when he's sending Diabound long range.)

Player: Mawi

Character: Stella / Romsca

Reason for Echo: She went on the internet and found the word corsair on a list of naval related terms. After a bit more research, she realizes she already knows that that means...
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: A memory of the Isle of Sampetra from afar, the headquarters for all corsairs in Romsca's time.

Reason for Echo: Library Visit! I'm going to say that she gets three for being an avid studier. This first one comes from reading a book about England, a section about monasteries and abbeys in particular...
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: She remembers an old mouse and a young bankvole, Durral and Viola, and knows that they live in a monolithic pink abbey called Redwall.

Reason for Echo: Library Visit! Echo 2 of 3. She used the internet to look at pictures of other creatures: Rats, weasels, foxes, stoats, otters, hares, mice, squirrels, hedgehogs, and otters, among other creatures.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: The vague sense that she has killed all of the creatures. Furthermore, the feeling that she enjoyed it. Also, a memory of an otter in a small boat with a bow and arrow pointed straight at her. She gets the vague feeling that otter is there as a direct result of her killing all of the creatures.

Reason for Echo: Library Visit! Echo 3 of 3. She gets a book on piracy and is filled in on all of the nasty details of freebooting.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Corsairs are basically commissioned pirates, so she is going to remember a bit about her commissioner: an pine marten emperor called Ublaz, standing at the gate of his castle on Sampetra, promoting her to captain and sending her to a land called Mossflower.

Character: Skyler Veracruz

Reason for Echo: He's going to run into the Blood Keys for obvious reasons.
Type and tier: Physical change & Item, Tier 2.
What is returned: His eyes will finally, fiiiinally turn heart piercingly gem blue. Also, when he goes back home, his fairy made clothes and shoes (his KHII black outfit) will be waiting on his bed. However, they will NOT have the ability to access his drive forms. (yet)

Reason for Echo: During his encounter with the Blood Keys, I'm assuming that they're going to outnumber him and beat him up at some point during his hazing. This is the first time he's ever been hopelessly outnumbered in a fight.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1.
What is returned: A memory of charging a thousand creatures (heartless) almost completely on his own. And winning. (And this is why Skyler passed. Confidence! Yay.)

Reason for Echo: He's getting his heart removed YEAH
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: this entire scene OuO (well up until the part where he turns into heart sparkles and flies away. this game is fucking weird.)

Character: Walter
Reason for Echo: Ryan and his COLOSSAL SPOILERIFIC REVEAL

Player: Zack
Character: Luke/Link
Reason for Echo: Seeing Anthony's beautiful darling decaying face.
Type and tier: Memory (And ability?) Tier 1(???)
What is returned: Memory of the Hyrule family royal tomb and how to play the Sun's Song. The Sun's Song if played on the Ocarina of Time at night will advance time until Noon of the following day. If played during the day, it will advance time until Midnight the following night. This only works outside. The song also has a temporary stunning effect on undead creatures, this works both inside and outside.

many thanks!
hawaiianheir: (but you've come this far)

[personal profile] hawaiianheir 2013-12-09 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Mon
Character: Makani Kapule
Reason for Echo: He'll be getting into a fight/scrap/encounter with the Blood Keys. Probably in the clinic log.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Ability.
What is returned: (Warning: Classpect Headcanon)
Heirs, as a role, have the unique ability to embody their aspect on a singular level. (Note: Headcanon Ends Here) For John, the Heir of Breath, this means he can literally become the wind. This affords all the benefits you would expect it to. John is shown to essentially be able to free roam and avoid detection by both a godlike Super Fish Hitler and his brainwashed half-omniscent space-controlling dog-sister (long story). It's shown that John has pretty much complete control over this, and he can essentially go anywhere that there's a path for air to flow into, be it through vents or otherwise. It's also a handy dodge against threats of bodily harm (read as: stabs)

Obviously, this is a SUPER KINDA GAMEBREAKERY POWER in a game about stealth and infiltration, but luckily I planned for this, since Mac still only has Stage 1 of his Wind Manipulation back (subconscious, low power-control). In this form, Becoming The Wind is basically only useful in the example above: Dodging Shit, and it's going to be more reflexive than anything else (think making someone flinch, or scaring the bajezus out of them). He will reform almost immediately roughly a foot or two away from where he was standing, in what would be the most likely direction you would actually be trying to dodge. (So if someone did scare the bajezus out of him, he would phase out, and then phase in probably a foot back from whatever scared him.) Obviously, overpowering him or basically just straight up knocking him upside the head are still fair game, since he'll only really flinch -once- before getting used to a fight or something along those lines. (And that's only if he notices you.)

So an incredibly useful power will basically only be useful to laugh at Mac as he poofs in and out of existence! 8V (for now)

[personal profile] toobig 2013-12-10 12:38 am (UTC)(link)

Reason for Echo: In this thread, Jamie makes Bertholdt feel better about himself. In canon, Jean is the one to talk him down from his breakdown.
