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: Len
Character: Kara/Starfire
Reason for Echo: Running into Skyler at the mall aka BLOOD KEY ENCOUNTER thanks so much Skyler.
Type and tier: Tier 1, power
What is returned: Her alien strength - which will be simultaneously useless and inconvenient, because it's triggered by feeling boundless confidence ahaha.
darkhourdear: (Pharos [Trick up my sleeve])

[personal profile] darkhourdear 2014-01-04 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Bookie
Character: Phillip Santorini/Pharos
Reason for Echo: Toushirou explaining spirit energy to him and how he gives off a hell of a lot of power
Type and tier: Tier 1; ability
What is returned: The Shadow's version of this; Phillip can sense the relative power of things around him. He'll be able to tell the power of pretty much everything (though with normies this will obviously be pretty low) and whether or not he should be scared of them/they're more powerful than he is (usually not).

Player: Prof
Character: Sara Kirisame
Reason for Echo: Hearing her past-life friend Marisa speak in Japanese.
Type and tier: Ability or Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Native-level Japanese fluency.
prismaticdestruction: (I think I get it!)

[personal profile] prismaticdestruction 2014-01-04 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Kati
Character: Flandre/Dani
Reason for Echo: Marisa speaking Japanese
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory/Ability
What is returned: VERY slow regain of her Japanese (Which, She was a non-native speaker so it's not perfect. but this will take time for her to recall)
pokebonnet: (Default)

[personal profile] pokebonnet 2014-01-04 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Bii
Character: Ivy Curry
Reason for Echo: Ivy will be getting mugged by Helene when she gets lost in the unfamilar city i.e. A BLOOD KEY ENCOUNTER.
Type and tier: Ability (Tier 1)
What is returned: Vampire strength. (Which she will assume is magical girl strength.)
sassymaru: (Default)

[personal profile] sassymaru 2014-01-04 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Red
Character: Takenaka Yuji / Shadowmaru

Reason for Echo: Farmhouse Investigation Log -- seeing the robots.
Type and tier: Tier 1: Memory
What is returned:
Seeing the more human robot will smack him in the face with the memory that WOW he actually was a robot at one point. He'll remember what he looked like, and his old name.

Reason for Echo: Tinkering with traps in the Farmhouse Investigation thread.
Type and tier: Tier 1: Ability
What is returned:
His ability to remotely hack electronic devices. With his mind. Canon is unspecific as to the limitations of the skill, so, for in-game purposes, and echo purposes, we'll say it's nothing with incredibly high security. until he's a robot again anyway

IF THE SECOND ONE ISN'T OKAY, THAT'S FINE, I just thought I'd throw them both up here just in case!

FIRST ABILITY ECHO HERE WE GO

Player: Rex
Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: Doyle thought a little too hard about this: 'How can you protect anyone' - yes it's melodramatic and cliche but boy howdy is this an issue for Umbrael re: his own species, with the descendents of his 'family' dying out and nothing he could do seemed to stop it. So yeah, he'd ask himself in his moments of contemplation, and feel useless and powerless, which is something Doyle did up there, even if it's on a slightly smaller scale.
Type and tier: Ability, 1, FINALLY SOMETHING THAT ISN'T A MEMORY WOO
What is returned: Shadow manipulation powers, but only a small level for now - he's not even going to be aware he has them at all, actually, since there's no indication of what he echoed back. Until he figures it out or is thrown into danger, all he'll notice is a slight movement in his peripheral when he's deep in thought or troubled or stress.
If he gets put in danger at all and/or panics, then the nearest shadows would move to lash out wildly in defense as reflex, but it's really the shadowy magical equivalent of of flailing your arm in someone's face.
If he doesn't echo back anything better after that, he'll find he can currently only affect the shadows within about three or so feet of him without really concentrating on it. If he really tried, he could move a piece of shadow that's in his line of sight, but that's still a limited distance, like uh the same room? The further away, the more of a stretch it would feel. What he can do with them falls under... uh, his ability section, I guess, but waaaaaaay weaker and clumsier.

is this ok did I do it right?
willchange: (waaaaaah)

Player: Remaix
Character: Cerise Bellefleur | Tsubomi Hanasaki

Reason for Echo: Seeing this post, in which the creation of the Metaroid is eerily similar to how the monsters Tsubomi fought were created.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Knowledge about Desertrians, how they're created, and that she used to fight them.

Reason for Echo: Meeting Raquel, Rikka's plushie-looking fairy partner.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Creature
What is returned: Her own fairy partner that looks like a plushie, Chypre. Except instead of just looking like a plushie, she'll actually be a plushie until further echoes happen.

Also wow somehow I missed this one, I am such a fail. But I'll request it anyway if it's fine that it's kinda late:

Reason for Echo: Seeing Annie's magical girl transformation with her transformation item.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory + Item
What is returned: Memory of transforming and introducing herself as Cure Blossom, plus her Heart Perfume, which is her own transformation item. Though she can't use it to transform without her Precure Seed, so it will just be a very fancy and useless perfume bottle.

[personal profile] stop_hamerutime 2014-01-05 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Nerdo
Character: Henrietta Szczensy
Reason for Echo: "I'm a soulless husk"/discussion of one's soul being in a separate container

synonymouswithdookie: (shut up and eat my donuts)

[personal profile] synonymouswithdookie 2014-01-05 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Player: RYO
Character: RAY/ZIM

Reason for Echo: That one farmhouse investigation log, running into all those vats and pods full of critters and goo.
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of Zim's giant, creepy underground base, which had plenty of weird alien shit just like it.
songoftimeandtimeagain: (Diving head first into puberty.)

Bulking up on Echos while season 1 lasts

[personal profile] songoftimeandtimeagain 2014-01-05 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Zack
Character: Luke/Link

A bunch of these will be retroactive as they supposedly happened in this log.

Reason for Echo 1: Snake Statue encounter.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory.
What is returned: Memories of the Dodongo's Cavern and receiving Goron's ruby.

Reason for Echo 2: Fighting a snake statue since it resembles the lizalfos that guard the bomb bag chest.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Item.
What is returned: The Bomb Bag. Can hold 10 bombs, and bombs are added to the list of possible spawning items when he cuts grass/breaks pots. They will only drop rarely.

Reason for Echo 3: Gavin trying to eat him whole.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory.
What is returned: Memories of Jabu Jabu's belly and getting the Zora Sapphire.

Reason for Echo 4: Playing JRPGs with Jamie, and arguing over what armor to give the character. (flipping back and forth between outfits)
Type and tier: Tier 1 Ability(?)
What is returned: The concept of an inventory screen. Luke won't be able to see it or anything like that, but he will be able to 'equip' and 'unequip' his echoed items as he would in game. When unequipped, the items will not be able to be retrieved by anyone except Luke. When equipped, the items in question are on his person somewhere, pockets/backpack/clipped to belt or pants. When he echos back the Zora Goron and Kokiri tunics, he will be able to switch between them instantaneously, he will not however be able to put back on regular clothing instantly, and will have to go retrieve his previous normal outfit from wherever he originally put it on.
amajin: (mmm...)

I'm just..................

Player: Abby
Character: Jin Aznable
Reason for Echo: This bullshit from Cain
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: The existence of metaroids and that his mission was to fight them.

Reason for Echo: This post from Calista
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory.
What is returned: Memories of Messiah as a terrifying sentient virus that had some sort of control over him/the world he lived in. Somewhat misleading, given that he lived in hyperspace (for some definition of 'lived') and Messiah hadn't been able to access the real world. He will have some idea that it's misleading, but not exactly why. Coming along with are memories of Escape, basic memories of her and the concept of an Avatar.
amajin: (uneasy)

But wait, there's more.

Player: Abby
Character: Jin Aznable
