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.

Yeah, no worries on the first one there, Bakura kinda doesn't want people finding out about him anyway. He'll likely only come out when there's crazy stuff going on anyway or where Bakura's pretty sure he won't be seen.

As for the second, can I offer instead that he'll just stay intangible for a very long period? Since most of his abilities come in the stealth department, rather than the wrecking things department, and I really would like Bakura to be able to gain some useful skills to be able to help out the group. [mainly the invisibility and the going through walls thing] Kinda concerned he's going to wind up being the load if all abilities are off limits.

Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: She hangs out at the museum basically all day.
What is returned: The memory of having to select an award for one of the paintings at the gallery and being addressed as 'princess.'

Character: Amaimon
Reason for Echo: Was haunted.
What is returned: He's beginning to phase shift back into a demon, so holy things have begun to bother him and supernatural things are on his radar.

Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Was haunted.
What is returned: He's beginning to phase shift back into a sparkly vampire samurai, the first thing to return being his bloodlust.

Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Turned up at the museum and either molested a statue or stayed a while, depending on pending logs.
What is returned: Having his hair go white/eyes go red when he's actively being a sparkly vampire samurai.

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Mysterious presence!! (5/10)
What is returned: A memory of his late wife, Catherine.

Reason for Echo: Touching all three statues at the art gallery like a dipshit. (I am a-ok with him arousing suspicion!)
What is returned:
(1) Vampire fangs.
(2) The memory of witnessing two werewolves eat a person after dark, in the woods outside of Tyrol. He wrote to Ravi about it, too, but if that's too much for one memory I can omit the writing part!

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony

Reason for Echo: Touching one of the snake statues at the museum.
What is returned: Memory of the appearance and name of the Ulyaoth rune.

Reason for Echo: His scheduled haunting on the 12th, should it stay on the agenda!
What is returned: Something to shed a little more light on memory of that symbol - memory of using the Enchant Item spell. All he'll remember is the circle of glowing blue runes surrounding broken pieces of an urn and a low, disembodied voice incanting "Antorbok, Magormor, Ulyaoth."

That's why keeping him intangible so he can't do any damage which negates any possibility for recklessness in game.

I'm also a little confused where you're saying two from? I'm not requesting any additional now, just that the option for Diabound to be able to be invisible not be put off limits for the long term (since I assume "a while a while" is long term) since with him only being able to be summoned, and still being visible, he's a detriment more than anything else since any time he was summoned there would be the huge risk of being found out and it putting Bakura in danger.

And to clarify, at this point, Bakura isn't gaining any of Diabound's abilities, just the ability to summon him. Diabound being intangible is to prevent things from being damaged or broken due to Diabound's size and to keep the echo from being a big thing. As he is being requested by this echo, Diabound would be pretty useless, and I really would like him not to be locked into uselessness for an extended period of time.

[and also as a side note: Yami Bakura and Thief King Bakura are major combatants so to imply that since this Bakura more closely resembles the non combatant version of the three at this time that he needs to stay in that role is a little off putting.]

That's fine! I wasn't expecting him to be able to be out a long period of time to start with anyway, so that's totally fine.

So just to make sure I have it clear: With this echo, he can be summoned for short bursts (with long cool downs between), intangible so he doesn't knock down the walls just by existing. With a later echo, can gain the ability to turn invisible. Other abilities [such as being able to extend that intangibility and invisibility to Bakura as they were in canon] will be accessible via other echoes after a longer wait time (like a month or so.)

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues
What is returned: The inclination to grow his hair out and keep it long

Player: Emi
Character: Fai D Flourite
Reason for Echo: Poking one of the statues like a tool
What is returned: The first hint of his ability to utilize just about anything around him as a weapon. He won't be able to pick up a bow and arrows and be instantly amazing at it just yet, but he'll be quicker than an ordinary person to come up with uses for everyday items to defend himself with.

Player: Siobhan
Character: Kurt Waggoner
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues politely.
What is returned: Written on his brain like a lifelong favorite, "Beautiful Dreamer," sung by a powerful if slightly pop-ish female voice and accompanied by ukulele.

Reason for Echo: Hauntings
What is returned: The memory of hacking a spaceship's weapons systems to nuke a third of a planet after finding out that his parents were vivisected by earth's new rulers. He doesn't remember any kind of context or what happened next.
solfage: that the entire bar knew that it was peanut butter jelly time (you were absolutely insistent)

Player: Sam
Character: Luca Trulyworth
Reason for Echo: ain't no party like a GHOST HAUNTING party
What is returned: A blue magic spell, Triangle Tune. It's her low level heal/revive; because "lol RPG mechanics" I'm interpreting revive here as "restore consciousness" and not "bring back from the dead." As I have in her app, she'll need a power source to properly use her magic, although I'd like to say that without one and running on her own power, she could heal like...little cuts and scrapes, if that's possible? But for it to be able to do enough to actually be useful, she'll need that power source first.

Player: Blue
Character: Cinderella (Rarity)
Reason for Echo: Scheduled haunting on the 11th!
What is returned: Opalescence the cat - Cinderella will not recognize her, and under the circumstances, will probably assume that she's a spirit or monster in disguise for the first few days, but she'll grow on her.

"Everybirdie" is just flavor; "everybody" when referring to birds. I just wanted to lay everything out. But all right.

Some people can interact with ghosts, and it's not too uncommon. No one really knows how, but personality seems to be involved - the characters who are closed off and prejudiced or consumed with hatred can't, the characters who are more accepting of strange things and people can. Yuuya's more on the open side.

Yuuya acts like he was already familiar with a ghost character, at least in passing, when he sees him. A few minutes later he sees a second ghost who he definitely never met and states that he's never seen him.

Player: Kim
Character: Youou (Kurogane)
Reason for Echo: Being around the statues
What is returned: His ability to sense energy/auras. It will be returned gradually so it will take a week or two before it's all back and even longer before he can master it.
