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.

[anequal]

Player: Squigs
Character: Anthony Albert (Armin Arlert)
Reason for Echo: seeing the 3DMG in action for the first time
Type and tier: tier 1 - memory
What is returned: muscle memory of basic maneuvering skills, like swinging from building to building or tree to tree and keeping his balance.

(NOTE: as for whatever actual maneuvering skills Armin had, Anthony doesn't have the training experience or the muscle gained from his training, so he can't do that yet. he will just remember the instinctive things like "tilt this way to turn that way")

[centurian]

Player: Kalan
Character: Gerald (Garrus) Vakarian
Reason for Echo: DR. MORDIN SOLUS :|
Type and tier: Memory (Tier 1)
What is returned: The memory of a salarian doctor named Mordin Solus. They apparently served together on a mission, though this memory is the most coherent part of it for Gerald.

Re: unforgivable

[centurian]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I'm not 100% sure how the log will play out, so I'm holding off on that particular echo for just a little bit, if that's cool?

[healspec]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: Farmhouse investigation. YEAH I KNOW THIS IS SUPER BELATED, THAT WAS A WHOLE MONTH AGO.
Type and tier: Ability | I...think I need to call this a Tier 2?
What is returned:
Alm's Blessing level 2. Also this is gonna be a slow/delayed Echo so the full effect didn't hit him for a while.

Basically, his magic is stronger/more effective (but not more efficient), and he has a much larger mana pool to draw from. Currently a single serious injury can pretty much tap out his mana, but with this he'll be able to fully heal several before exhausting his supply. He'll also be able to restore up to half of an average adult's lost blood volume (~5 pints), rather than up to 2 pints.

[pianistofraielin]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Russel Goldman/Raiel
Reason for Echo: Sona giving him a piano lesson. He has never had a piano lesson before or even had access to a piano to attempt to play it.
Type and tier: Item + memory | Tier 2 (justifying Tier 2 on this one because of HOW IMPORTANT piano-playing is to Raiel; his entire identity is basically built around being a magic pianist)
What is returned:
Memory: Pandora teaching him how to play magic music when he was 4 or 5; this will tip him off to his piano-playing as an actual useful skill.

Item: His. Piano.

OKAY LET ME TALK ABOUT THIS MOTHERFUCKIN' PIANO FOR A SECOND.
1) it is solid gold.
2) it weighs 500kg.
6) what are its dimensions? SO inconsistent omg. It's probably about 3ft across and 5ft long judging by how big it's usually drawn in comparison to Raiel.
3) it is waterproofed up to 500 meters (I'M NOT JOKING THIS IS EXPLICITLY STATED IN CANON).
4) it's enchanted with holy magic. what does that mean? hell if i know????? it's never elaborated on; I take it to mean that the piano is basically indestructible, considering the shit it goes through.
5) it has no legs. instead it has backpack straps and a harness that allows him to swing it down into a playing position as necessary.

NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS COMPLETELY USELESS TO HIM AT THE MOMENT. It'll just be taking up space in his bedroom until he gets enough strength regain to actually move it around.

That's fine!

[originaloddcouple]

Player: Nerdman
Character: Isaac and Miria
Reason for Echo: Jacuzzi's reveal that he destroyed 18 speakeasies
Type and tier: Memory/Tier 1
What is returned: Remembering Jacuzzi's original reveal of this fact. Which also delivers the context for encouraging Jacuzzi and...



I'm sorry, but I will never let go of this gif when an opportunity arises.

[skycutter]

Player: Trap
Character: Miles/Hope
Reason for Echo: Meeting Sierra/Serah for the first time. No log yet, but we're working up to it.
Type and tier: One long memory, tier 2. Because Serah is important ok.
What is returned: Handing Serah a knife, and watching her have a breakdown. 0:33 onwards in this video, complete with sounds and dialogue, all the way until she drops to the ground and cries. If that's too much, I'm fine with no dialogue.

Yes, he did see her transforming into crystal waaaaaaay in the beginning of FFXIII, and walking towards them with Dajh just before he gave her the knife, but this bit will always stand out in Hope's memory as "first contact with Serah".

[ex_purity762]

Player: Ren
Character: Clear
Reason for Echo: This conversation, when goes into developing an AI and then raising it like a person.
Type and tier: Type 1, Memory
What is returned: The recollection (or rather confirmation) that Pierce was an android, and that he was raised by a man he called his grandfather, who had a hand in his development. If possible, this would include his grandfather giving him a name, as this is tied strongly to treating a machine as a person.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Henry explaining he's capable of transforming objects simply through belief.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1.
What is returned: Preincarnated Alexander's understanding of Belief. Reincarnated Alexander has gleaned info about it from previously Echoed memories, but this will fill in the gaps.

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

We can approve this as a tier 2 if you like, but the memory by itself is more of a tier 1 Echo, so you've got an opportunity to fit something else related to meeting Serah into this request.
