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.

[entertainaplanb]

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: cosplaying her canon's equivalent's genderswapped sci-fi author at the con
What is returned: A brief memory of HG Wells busting open the crate to her time machine (and, if possible, a vague feeling that she's seen this woman somewhere before. She has - as a statue, in a previous Echo - but she won't make that connection just yet).
(Edit for clarification: I do want Becky to know this other woman is HG Wells after this Echo, possibly for great mis-pronoun-ing if the Wells canon comes up in conversation. That and the fact of a time machine inna crate is the only necessary context, nothing about the circumstances in which they're talking or how that's even a thing.)

[salvagedlight]

Player: Tai
Character: Ben Renard (Ventus)

Reason for Echo: Ben will be given a green star charm by Maya in this log.
What is returned: The scene of receiving his Wayfinder from Aqua before the MoM exam, the full memory though not the context for all the words being said.

Reason for Echo: Also in the convention log, Maya draws the Keyblade Master Emblem next to her signature.
What is returned: Wearing it himself, on his chest.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Seeing Hajime in bug monster form
What is returned: Jounouchi vs Haga in Battle City, specifically stuff around Insect Queen being summoned. [Staring down a giant bug monster, basically :D]

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Mytho
Reason for Echo: Attempting to recapture the feeling of an echo so he can properly explain it so much that he relives the feeling.
What is returned: Memory of getting a heart shard back and the knowledge related to it [that someone found a piece of his heart and returned it to him, that his heart was shattered and needed to be found again, etc.]

[15minuteslate]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn/Aaron
Reason for Echo: Vermini attacking the clinic
What is returned: Aragorn's healing/herblore knowledge. Basically Aaron will know what plants have which healing effects (as well as how to use the athelas) and also know a few songs that were used in his world to bless things/encourage healing. These songs will not have any effect in Locke because they were basically prayers to the Valar, who do not exist here. Aaron will know them, though.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Annnnnd thou art familiar with this procedure.

[wirsinddiejager]

Player: Aave
Character: Alan Hunter
Reason for Echo: Getting into a shouting contest with Octavia
What is returned: Giving off steam when he gets particularly agitated and yells loud enough

[theearth]

Sorry for the delay!

However, Echoes not caused by plot events can only be obtained the first time a character has a particular experience that would cause one - otherwise in theory they would've already gotten an Echo from it. Is this the first time Alan has gotten into a shouting match like this? If not, then is it especially similar to one he might've gotten into in his past life? If the answer is yes to either of those questions it'll be good to go.

[doomedtheworld]

Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa/Vin
Reason for Echo: Fighting the Vermini at the Starbucks.
What is returned: One of the twin obsidian daggers Vin wielded as a Mistborn.

And if I can request two in one shot.

Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa/Vin
Reason for Echo: Taking part in the remember past lives through dance thread.
What is returned: Memories of the first ball Vin danced at while in her Valette Renoux disguise. Included are a few memories of Elend, although just his face, and the feeling that he was special to her.

[theearth]

Sorry for the delay!

[immortalize]

Player: Keiosu
Character: C.C. (Morgan Ambrose)
Reason for Echo: A chance encounter with a Vermedi while out looking for a cat. Also getting a bit injured by them.
What is returned: Her gold eyes and a slight bit of her healing powers, with the extent that small cuts can be patched up in a few hours, and maybe gashes take less of a day or two than normal.

[theearth]

Sorry for the inconvenience, but encounters with any Vermedi right now are restricted to the people who got something related to them via the recent sign-up shenanigans. You can also only get one thing per Echo cause (unless they're strongly related), and this is two.

Wow I am late on this request

[vanisland]

Player: Awe
Character: Miranda Atmiller (Mir)
Reason for Echo: A swarm of Vermini (to be encountered here)
What is returned: The "Level 1" portion of the story she told through her Cosmosphere... with the characters' names omitted.

[theearth]

So sorry for the wait!

Echo approved - please add relevant data to your info post.

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson (Aqua)
Reason for Echo: Giving Ben ( & his brother) a green star-shaped charm at the book signing
What is returned A memory of This scene, just like Ben is getting, but from Aqua's perspective.

Character: Christobel Starsky (starscream)
Reason for Echo: Running bodily into a Go-Bots cosplayer playing the noble character Leader-1 at LockCon, but having that guy turn out to be a serious asshat
What is returned: A slightly incoherent memory of that time Starscream cosplayed Optimus Prime I'm not fucking kidding that actually happened (The wiki there doesn't make it 100% clear but in that episode a fake Optimus takes off his head and OH NO IT WAS STARSCREAM IN DISGUISE THE WHOLE TIME)
Basically what Chris will get is that once Starscream put on a costume as the leader of the opposing faction to fool... somebody, but not who they were fooling or why, or anybody's names. She WILL, however, get a sense of just how big the Cybertronians are in comparison to humans.

[controlsdesire]

Player: Knight
Character: Shuji Kiyokumi / Eiji Hino (Kamen Rider OOO)
Reason for Echo: Activating the Hopper Candroid in Mort Yokugawa's office.
What is returned: A non-specific memory using the Hopper Candroid to communicate with someone: more knowing the device is capable of it than a conversation.

Reason for Echo: The pink light in the sky, re: his participation in the mystery event.
What is returned: The memory of the first time he transformed into OOO.

Reason for Echo: Encountering Takayuki/Ankh at the mall / canon parallel
What is returned: (At 15:25-ish). The memory of encountering Ankh for the first time since the end of the series / post Ankh's death, when Ankh traveled back from forty years in the future. As this takes place a few years after the end of Kamen Rider OOO during which Eiji spent all of his time looking for a way to bring Ankh back, Shuji will be able to connect the sense of relief he felt at finally finding the other to his first Echo, where he's had a persistent feeling of looking for someone and doing everything he can to find them. Essentially, he's remembering seeing Ankh before and knowing Takayuki is the person he's been looking for since receiving his first Echo.

Reason for Echo: Hajime's network post.
What is returned: Joker's form looks strikingly similar to Uva, one of the Greeed Eiji fought against as Kamen Rider OOO. He'll recall snippets of fighting Uva, though he won't be able to place specifics.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Mytho [again, whee]
Reason for Echo: Plot thingi / "falling" out a window [or do I not have to be vague?]
What is returned: Raven Prince taunting Fakir, then leaping backwards out the window and being saved by Princess Tutu.

[stealinghats]

Player: Lavvy
Character: Victor/Vaati
Reason for Echo: Vermini swarm (replacement for Jack since he was dropped before it could be used SORRY FOR MAKING THIS NEEDLESSLY CONFUSING AND GETTING TO THIS LATE)
What is returned: Albinism, ie. red eyes and pale skin, probably pale hair too except he... bleaches it anyway. He won't have to anymore?? Though technically Vaati's natural hair colour is more of a blueish purple, but w/e I have different plans for that one anyway.

[theearth]

Red eyes and pale skin sound perfectly peachy - as you plan for Victor to gain Vaati's natural hair color at a different point, however, I think we ought to leave that be.

Assuming that works, Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[hollowleg]

Player: Bat
Character: Shiro Nakamura
Reason for Echo: Protecting Mamoru during a Vermedi encounter.
What is returned: His white shihakushou

[shiromadoushi]

Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel: Witnessing a car accident
What is returned: Memory of the car crash that killed his sister and mother. [and tangentially, that he had a sister and what her name is]

[wannabered]

Character: Thomas Akagi

[talktothedoll]

Player: Airdra
Character: Kiyoto Maki/Mort Yokugawa
Reason for Echo: Seeing Shuji's broken Core Medal. In canon, he struck the blow that led to the Medal breaking right before he died.
What is returned: The feeling that he is responsible for it being broken and that he is glad it's broken. Nothing beyond that.

[grimmopedia]

Player: Pae
Character: Olaf Monroe
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - Monroe meets up with Nick off the network in this WIP thread to prove that Nick isn't part of some weird delusion. They walk through a dog park and talk about the weird things happening to them.
What is returned: The canon memory of walking with Nick through a dog park where Nick explains the weird things that have popped up in his life this week. Monroe won't remember any of what they talked about; he'll remember having a trusting friendship with Nick.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - Nick meets up with Monroe off the network in this WIP thread to prove he's not a delusion and prevent Monroe from telling people about the network, while walking through a dog park
What is returned: The canon memory of walking through a dog park with Monroe while discussing something that Nick confided in him (although not what was confided and no actual snippets of conversation), with the accompanying feeling of trusting Monroe

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien/Yuuya
Reason for Echo: Hours of stunned skygazing, trying to become familiar with the daystars.
What is returned: A degree of a kind of spirituality-ish regard, related to the starry sky.

In HB the souls of the dead travel among the stars until they can reincarnate. They are or can be somewhat aware of what the living are up to. Yuuya knows this and at a couple points expresses a hope that "the stars" will bless someone. He never seems reverent, but this is Yuuya - he never does, and he's made his peace with that sort of thing.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Not realizing that he now has a dietary need for blood, Alex effectively starves himself until his survival instinct kicks his butt into gear. Alas, Ravi happens to be the closest living thing when this happens. This parallels an instance in his past-life when Alex similarly let himself starve to the point that his instincts took over and turned on Ravi.

Previously, he had been subsisting on animal blood. The first taste of human blood triggered a thirst for human blood.

edit: In his previous life, he actually feeds off of Ravi. In STE, he doesn't get that far -- Ravi knocks him out.

What is returned: Human blood lust, oh noooo.

[drama8om8]

Player: Louise
Character: Octavia Serket
Reason for Echo: Plotty eventy stuff in the form of GIANT PURPLE SCORPION AAAA
What is returned: Her most important, character-development-integral moment - the memory of the man she loved. Just that video, no surrounding context.

Oh actually this might qualify for a canon recurrence too so

Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence - Alan is going to kill the giant scorpion, and as indicated in the original PM it will unleash a fuckload of gross bug guts and blood and ugh.
What is returned: A memory of another time Octavia saw an oversized arachnid get violently killed and splatter its innards everywhere. (Au revoir, Spidermom.)

/pulls hands down face at that scene

[wirsinddiejager]

What is returned: An inescapable urge to VIOLENTLY KILL THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT THREATENS HIM OR ANYTHING HE HOLDS DEAR.

[betterlogoutand]

Player: Lavvy
Character: Ryou Misaki/Haseo

Reason for Echo: Meeting Mia proper in this log and learning her name
What is returned: A vague memory of a guy who also had a cat named Mia (who looked almost exactly like this Mia). He won't remember his name, or any specific events, just what he looked like and how attached he was to his cat.

Reason for Echo: Purple scorpion attack, hello
What is returned: His inventory! ...without any understanding of how it works whatsoever, so basically sometimes he'll pocket a thing and it'll just vanish into the abyss never to be seen again, and sometimes he'll try to pull something out and SUDDENLY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE THERE. Someday he'll figure out how to access it on purpose and find a whole ton of useless crap in there.

so when does he get the ability to check his email

[shut_up_idiot]

Player: Kim
Character: Youou (Kurogane)
Reason for Echo: Seeing the pink light.
What is returned: A part of his energy blast creating power, (seriously I do not know what to call it). Basically he can create some kind of energy blast while wielding a blade, which when in full control has the power to level buildings. In this case the most he will be able to do is level a room, and he will have absolutely no control over it when it first appears but will gain it over time. I'd say a couple months before his control is pretty good and then a couple of more after that before he's really good at it.
