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.

Player: Kati
Character: Dani/Flandre
Reason for Echo: GDI Marisa! (http://savetheearth.dreamwidth.org/368597.html?thread=38846677#cmt38846677) I have a feeling there will be more incoming so just a warning.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Memory and Ability
What is returned: The memory of dodging that giant laser of death a.k.a. Master Spark. Also gaining back her most basic of danmaku with the very slow gaining of the knowledge of how to use it.

For now she can only create a few of the magical bullets at a time and only in moments of danger. As she practices with it and the knowledge comes back to her, she can slowly use more of the bullets and on command. None of these are lethal!

Echoes 1, 2, and 3 approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

Regarding Echo 4, is this the first time Luke has played a game wherein equips can be rotated?

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

Re: Echo 4 YES it would be. His video game experience prior to this has entirely been beat em ups, platformers, and racing games.

OH AND I FORGOT CHRISTMAS ARE WE STILL ALLOWED TO REQUEST THOSE?

Player: Zack
Character: Luke/Link
Reason for Echo: XMAS GIFTING
Type and tier: TIER ONE ITEM
What is returned: A BAG OF DEKU NUTS When thrown at the ground they make a flash/pop and they stun enemies but only for like 2 seconds? They probably won't work on humans, only on monster type things. Technically they work on bosses, but we can just ignore that and say only small to medium sized baddies are effected.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Player: Trouble
Character: Reimu Hakurei
Reason for Echo: Seeing weird things in the Farm investigation log
Type and tier: Type 2 Ability
What is returned: An upgrade to her divine power to about 50% of what it was in canon (though I didn't exactly say how much power she got last time, it was still a smaller amount) and the Yin Yang orbs can now split and multiply the more power she's using.

ughhhh

[amajin]

Reason for Echo: He won't shut up
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Enter's existence and that he's an enemy.

The memory of dodging Master Spark, the ability of basic danmaku, and the knowledge of how to use danmaku are considered three Echoes. Thus, as a Tier 2, please choose two of them to regain.

[prismaticdestruction]

Wasn't sure but never hurts to ask. Just the memory and the basic Danmaku then. She can learn about it another time!

[theearth]

Could you give us an idea of what 50% of Reimu's original divine power means?

[theearth]

It certainly doesn't!

Alrighty, then, Echo approved!

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Uuuuh, I don't know. I probably should've just been vague instead of using a percentage XD; It's never said exactly how powerful she is in canon. Just that she's really powerful. >>; Just straight up half her actual power? Does that work?

I'd say around the strength of a Stage 4 boss, except that's in Touhou terms where the fandom chooses to gauge power level based on what order you fight them in, in a game (on a Scale of Stage 1 mid-boss to EX Boss basically) and I'm not sure if that'd fly with you guys (Especially since this scale isn't perfect and Yuyuko who was a Final Boss in the first game she appeared in came back later as a Stage 1 boss in Ten Desires, though it was obvious she was holding back in that fight anyway).

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: Jin directly addressing him as Enter
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: He already remembers the Go-Busters' codenames. He'll now remember Masato Jin - and that he operated as Beet Buster.

[moralizes]

Player: Kelsey
Character: Izuru
Reason for Echo: running into a Blood Key for the first time
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: A spell-type attack

[theearth]

The fourth Echo of the last batch is approved! Please update your info post accordingly!

For the Christmas Echo however we'd like to request an alternative - as in practice use of Deku Nuts could be rather advantageous doing what they're intended to do! An item from the delivery/swapping sidequest, a Happy Mask from Hyrule as opposed to Termina, and similar items would be better bets.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

The only thing that's really known for certain about power levels is that Reimu is the most powerful person sheer fire powerwise in Gensoukyo or at least most powerful after Yukari depending on how you look at it.

This is just a sheer fire power thing more than a "What can she do with it" thing. I'm not entirely sure how to put it because Zun is super vague about everything, okay? XD;

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

How about some magic beans? Since Luke won't ACTUALLY be travelling 7 years into the future and, beans wouldn't grow into anything useful even if he had a place to plant them, which he doesn't. They'd just be 10 colorful beans. That are apparently magic, but don't actually do anything.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

You know what? I'm just going to say she got a bit more of her divine power back and not say how much. Maybe anyone who can sense those things would be able to feel her from several blocks away when before you'd have to have been a few feet?

*shrugs* As I already said, power levels in touhou are incredibly vague.

AKAGI CAME BACK AND THAT MEANS ECHOES...

[sucrosity]

Player: Sandy
Character: Yoko Usami | Yoko Aznable

Reason for Echo: literally this entire post is an echo, thanks Cain
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: Cain talks like Enter, and looks like Enter! But more importantly, he makes monsters like Enter. Yoko will remember "Enter" created monsters named "Metaroids", and that they served Messiah.

Reason for Echo: Calista's comment here
Type and tier: tier 1, memory
What is returned: Calista's sounding pretty close to regular Escape, there. Yoko will remember Escape: that she served Messiah, who she called "Papa", and that Yoko fought against her.

Reason for Echo: Akagi fourth-walling
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: She remembers the general appearance of her teammate, Masato Jin, who looks much younger than but otherwise just like her dad!

Reason for Echo: See above (provided I can... do that...)
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: Yoko remembers that she was a member of the Spec-Ops Cell, Gobusters, and they had robot partners, called Buddyroids.

If the last two should be rolled into one tier 2 Echo, I can do that, but I figured they were distinct enough references to be separate?

[sucrosity]

Reason for Echo: for the love of all that is holy, Akagi, shhhh
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: She'll remember J, who she nicknamed Juicy, as a Buddyroid and as her teammate, Stag Buster.

it keeps happening

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: Calista referring to the Metavirus as an evolved virus and comparing it to Messiah
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The knowledge (to an extent) of what the Metavirus is. An extension of Messiah's power as a living assimilative virus, bringing life to inorganic matter. He won't know that with further evolution it can infect and absorb living matter, or be truly aware of how far it can go.

Reason for Echo: Fuckin Akagi. His references to "the main purpose of ANY Metaroid" and his talk of a "hyperspace incursion".
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The awareness that Metaroids are meant to be beacons for Megazords - and that the Megazords will have attributes of those Metaroids. He'll remember that the Megazords would come in from a pocket dimension called Hyperspace, where Messiah and the Vagras made their base.

[strikeraid]

Player: Mawi
Character: pooplord skybutt dickweed mcgee
Reason for Echo: A real AI with limitations in its programming, you say...
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: From here to 28:37! Lots of technobabble, meeting Tron, talking about Hollow Bastion and the MCP, figuring out how to get out, and Goofy telling him that the Keyblade can unlock that door!
