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.

[charcoalfeather]

Player: Drizz
Character: Rakka Yoshitoshi
Reason for Echo: Talking to Julien Sakazaki about birds
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: A memory where Rakka is being told by Kana how bad crows are around garbage while one stares straight at her.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky
Reason for Echo: Seeing a kid totally immobilized/stuck in time
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Some crazy guy on the side of the enemy of the Decepticons once invented a device called an Immobilizer. Starscream and Megatron totally stole that shit, until SOME OTHER JERK broke it so it instead un-immobilized things.

This will come with memories of Wheeljack: that he was with her enemies, that he was kind of a crackpot but also brilliant.

Unfortunately, Chris will not know how it works, how to build one, or the scientific principles behind it, and it will never come up again, because what is continuity in this TV show?

Oh god I'm piggybacking stuff again I'm sorry I DON'T MEAN TO ABUSE THE SYSTEM, REALLY

Player: The Guindo
Character: Russel / Raiel
Reason for Echo: Blood Key plot echo
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 1
What is returned: SHOUNEN DURABILITY. He'll bruise where others break, recover more quickly from blunt force trauma, and will have a surprising amount of resilience. Basically, it is the uncanny ability to only be seriously injured when it is suitably dramatic or the plot requires it.

Reason for Echo: Teaming up with Annie to save Bakura from some Blood Keys as part of the magical girl rescue squad. Dramatic entrances and nick-of-time rescues were his life, you do not even know.
Type and tier: Memory | Tier 1
What is returned: He will remember that he called himself "The Hero of Love, Golden Piano Player Raiel" (because this is how he always introduced himself during these dramatic rescues).

Reason for Echo: During the same event as above, he is going to be...providing the dramatic soundtrack by way of speakers and an iPod. He, uh. Fights by playing music, in canon. So bursting into a fight and giving it a soundtrack, well, that's pretty much what he always does.
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 1
What is returned: His Magic Music ability.

How it works:
1) Magic music requires you to know and understand the context of the song you're playing in order for it to have any effect.
2) You must physically play it, on an instrument, with that context in mind.
3) The effect ends if you stop playing, except with summons where they can persist as long as you keep the song playing in your head.

Russel will be regaining each of his summons as a separate Echo, so his summoning music won't work yet. Likewise, he will not be regaining his marionette control ability yet, either. This Echo will be just the basics of magic music.

Those basics are essentially bard skills. The music plays on the emotions of those listening, and uses resonant emotions to buff or debuff the listener(s). The effect is easily resisted if the song's meaning does not resonate with the listener, and people who cannot physically hear the music will not be affected at all. It also only works in person (there is likely a psychic element to it?) so recordings or any kind of audio transmission will kill the magic aspect.

It can also just Make People Feel Stuff, but again, there needs to be some kind of foothold of emotional resonance or it'll fall flat. (I realize this is basically emotional godmoding but I will be asking people for permission first.)

The biggest limitation on this right now is that RUSSEL CAN'T PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS AND HE IS COMPLETELY TONE DEAF. So until he regains his piano playing ability, this skill is useless.

[dododo]

Character: John Smith/The Doctor
Reason for Echo: Luke's post where he says he can hop forward in time and John goes what you mean like time travel-- oops.
Type and tier: Memories, tier 2.
What is returned: Memory of Jamie explaining to Victoria about the TARDIS and how they travel time and space with it. And the species/title "Time Lord".

[drama8om8]

Player: Louise
Character: Octavia
Reason for Echo: The Doctor mentioning the phrase "Lord of Time."
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory
What is returned: Octavia has already heard of Lord English through another of her echoes, and she will now remember that he was also known as the Lord of Time.

[wastingtime]

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Arguing with Vriska & Alan
Type and tier: MENTAL; 1
What is returned:
Various split-second memories; knowing exactly when, where, and how to act were essential to Vector Prime's work (as opposed to being on the sidelines). With the feelings of frustration, helplessness, and anger he's getting from his conversation with Alan and Tavia, I think that it's a good time to remind him that he did, in another life, do that kind of thing. (Especially since he probably felt said specific mix of emotion back then, a LOT)

The Echo will present itself as fragmented dreams when he's asleep the following night, but instead of being forgotten upon waking like most dreams are, this one will linger as real memories.

[caosgo]

Player: Enzel
Character: Emmanuel Hall (Castiel)
Reason for Echo: choosing the alias "Clarence" to use on Chris's Darknet
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of speaking to a homeless man who offers him food, while going by that same name after losing his Grace and pretending to be human. He remarks that he's found that those with the least to give are the most generous.

[hawaiianheir]

Player: Mon
Character: Mac
Reason for Echo: Tavia being TOTALLY WILLING to make Blood Keys kill each other under the influence of mind control.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: this page, which was vaguely echoed before (an argument about mind control) but with the compounded dubious morality and killing of people, is recalled in its near entirety. He will also recall the feelings of the conversation- such as thinking an idea of such suspicious morality and flagrant abuse of mindy shit to be completely insane on every level.

E: OH GOD ONE MORE SORRY ABOUT THIS

Reason for Echo: Tavia bringing up her preincarnate's real name (Vriska)
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: This conversation. (this page and the next one.)

[wonk]

Player: kappy
Character: Mordin Solus
Reason for Echo: Blood Keys encounter (plot)
Type and tier: Memory tier two
What is returned: First, the memory of his time in the salarian special tasks group. Second, the memory of the formula to make medigel. After a month of study of this formula, he will be able to produce medigel for a cost of about sixty dollars per unit with his current lab setup, and will be able to produce about four units from materials he already has.

Reason for Echo: Blood Keys encounter (paralleling having to defend his clinic from various gangs on Omega)
Type and tier: Memory tier one
What is returned: The memory of his time on Omega, up until right before he met Shepard. If I can't squeeze two echoes out of this, then I'd prefer the first tier two echo.

Character: Roxy Lalonde
Reason for Echo: A Blood Keys encounter - I'll make a post for this if I get the Echo
Type and tier: Item tier 2
What is returned: Firstly, her high-octane laser gun, and secondly, her sylladex, allowing her to store objects cards which are then stored in bottles in a liquor cabinet in a hyperspace-inventory fashion. Roxy removes items by smashing the bottles.

Reason for Echo: Bearing witness to comrades singing while tipsy.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence: Sherman staking him.
Type and tier: Mental/item, tier 2
What is returned: 1) The memory of his second/permanent death via staking, and 2) the stake made of hawthorn that was used to kill him.
