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.

Comments

[recollection]

Player: Bun
Character: Thalassa Sheridan (Namine)
Reason for Echo: Learning of Kairi's name (here)
What is returned: The feeling that Kairi is important to her and to many others. That might evolve into her trying to protect the other girl if it came down to it.

Echo approved! Info! Add it!

[skycutter]

Player: Trap
Character: Miles/Hope
Reason for Echo: This. It's a canon reoccurence!
What is returned: This conversation:

Miles' voice: You can't leave me here! You've got to take me with you!

Some lady: Enough! The whole world is against us! I can barely keep myself alive. Let alone some helpless kid! I don't have time to baby you. You want to get tough? Do it on your own!

Just the voices, no faces, no images. Because hahaha, Kallie said she doesn't have time to baby him after a thread full of tension, just like the buildup to the conversation Miles would remember-- as it's very early in the game, Lightning didn't quite like Hope, even if Hope was trying his darnest to prove himself. And in the thread, Miles was trying to prove himself capable of doing something other people couldn't and Kallie brushed him off.

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie / Lightning
Reason for Echo: Possibly chasing down / capturing a vermini-infected critter in this log. If they don't directly interact with it, then obviously this one won't be happening.
What is returned: Suddenly, best clothes ever. (Her outfit from the first game.)

Reason for Echo: Declaring she doesn't have the time to baby people who aren't going to acknowledge that all of this is dangerous; basically having this conversation again, only in context of the Echoes/network/etc problem rather than being a hunted l'Cie and stuff. Also see: the above request.
What is returned: The ability to manifest her Eidolith crystal from her chest... plus the whole summoning circle light show for this first time and then if she ever happens to break the crystal for whatever reason. :'D No Odin tho.

[theearth]

Both Echoes approved - and ye know what to do!

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson / Aqua
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel -- Maya runs to catch Siegfried from his fall in this log, which parallels Aqua catching Ventus over here in this video. See also the in-game version here.
What is returned: Maya will remember that moment of the battle, starting from when Ven's helmet breaks up through when the great glowing heart-moon appears. She'll also remember Ven's name.

sorry this and the log is late

[happybirthdaytoyou]

Player: Bii
Character: Eugene Yokugawa
Reason for Echo: Plotty thing with the firebugs!
What is returned: The memory of the story of the Great King OOO, along with the feeling that this story is very important to him personally.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

[somesayinfire]

Player: Colin
Character: Brooke Reynolds (Terra)
Reason for Echo: Giant purple scorpion attack!
What is returned: A sudden, persistent sense of self-doubt, as though she's no longer convinced she can keep doing things she's done for years. (In terms of Terra, this is the same feeling that had always held her back from really cutting loose with her powers.)

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

[gogoghostpowers]

Player: Lisa
Character: Danny Fenton
Reason for Echo: also a giant purple scorpion attack, this thing is getting around
What is returned: Full intangibility to expand on the very limited version of it that he has right now. This entails full-body intangibility (as well as turning other people or items intangible through touch) and the power of possessing others by entering their bodies.

[theearth]

This is pretty powerful, and since his first/last Echo also had to do with this and it hasn't been all that long, I'm probably going to have to ask you to choose something else.

[italktofish]

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: Helping Ax/Alex out with an armored fish-thing in the park and thinking he should be able to speak with it because it's still somewhat of a fish.
What is returned: The memory of himself saying "A fish is a fish, even if it's a bug," to someone else while looking at a pair of gigantic silverfish (actually normal-sized silverfish; he was shrunk at the time and will not remember that). This will also give him the knowledge that he can use his ability to talk to fish to communicate with silverfish.

[allinvein]

Player: Azi
Character: John Mitchell
Reason for Echo: Possibly getting to chase/catch a vermini-critter in this thread with Kallie. The log's still on-going, so if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen!
What is returned: He will be able to make his pupils dilate and give him creepy black eyes like so! At the start, John won't know how to trigger the manifestation and will have pretty lousy control over his eyes changing as he learns how to manage it through trial and error.

[wirsinddiejager]

Player: Aave
Character: Alan Hunter
Reason for Echo: Seeing Shiro's regeneration.
What is returned: A memory of seeing his own hands and feet missing with copious amounts of steam coming from the wounds and knowing that his limbs are growing back. He won't have any context for how he got injured or how he knows he can regenerate.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[pitch_slap]

Player: Anne
Character: Hikari Lucia MacIsaac (Rukia)
Reason for Echo: Attack by a vermini, which she has no clue how to defend against and ends up getting chewed on a little. This is both interaction with the plot, and has great similarity to the first fight in canon, where she gets chewed on by a monster.
What is returned:
Since this Echo is both related to a canon occurrence and the plot, I would like it if two things (both fragments of their preincarnation whole) could be returned? First, a sword (that the character will have no idea how to use) and a memory of stabbing Ichigo with said sword, with no idea who he is, why she's stabbing him, etc.

If that won't work out, of course, let me know, but I do like the fragmentary nature of it and the synergy between the blade and what her preincarnation used it for.

[theearth]

If treated as two separate Echoes - one for beginning to interact with the Vermini and one for the being chewed on - then approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[teuton]

Player: linda
Character: prussia | julia fuchs
Reason for Echo: running into vermini swarm with vaati
What is returned: prussia's entire life has been oriented around fighting-- i want julia to regain some of his blood-thirstiness.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[testsonseashells]

Player: G-man
Character: Mordin Solus
Reason for Echo: Vermini attack on the Clinic
What is returned: 22nd century genetics knowledge, and by extension to ability to treat and/or cure several currently problematic diseases of modern times

[theearth]

Assuming that this is the potential ability to treat especially problematic diseases by working through the genetics knowledge gained, Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[ex_elude798]

Player: Ren
Character: Suzaku Kururugi
Reason for Echo: Hunting down his stray cat. As with the festival episode in Code Geass R2, Suzaku has to chase the cat down and close distance with his speed to do so. Just to be right on the nose, the cat's got a feather in its mouth (much as in canon, his cat Arthur had taken a quill pen).
What is returned: His unnatural speed, but not the insane coordination.

Hope I did this right.

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[seriallylucky]

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: Mystery Event: Mrs. Vandenberg got Vermidi'd
What is returned: the Sol Blade, in a lesser form - I'm thinking something along the lines of the early-game Long Sword: completely nonmagical and without large attack boosts, but still a serviceable sword

Edit1: In case it makes a difference, I do intend for his next few Echoes to be basically useless in the short term. Some memories, a bit of personality stuff, some modifications to the Djinni-turned-cat.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson/Aqua
Reason for Echo: Fred's mother, Catherine, being possessed (this thread here
What is returned: Memory of Terra getting possessed by Xehanort's soul and her battle with him see this wiki entry. She'll also get Terra's name. That being said, this particular memory will be very vague. While she'll know that her friend is possessed, and probably be able to surmise that it's by the creepy old guy, she'll have no idea how they got into that situation, just that it happened.

Reason for Echo: Encountering Plot. Same thread, but when she actually encounters the possessed woman (Blue said this was okay?)
What is returned: Use of the Barrier spell. This is the purely defensive version that just guards briefly against attacks.

[theearth]

Both Echoes approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[flamberge]

Player: Olga
Character: Kratos Aurion/Karl Aurion/Richard Locke
Reason for Echo: Seeing Colette's cruxis crystal
What is returned: Knowledge about exspheres & cruxis crystals and how they work and bad effects they can have and the like. He will not remember how they're made.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[ex_elude798]

Player: Ren
Character: Suzaku Kururugi
Reason for Echo: Participation in the Mystery Event being carried out here.
What is returned: The memory of a Geass-influenced Euphemia being shot down. Being controlled by a power that compelled her to lash out at people against her will, Euphemia was fatally wounded just before Suzaku could save her. This bears some similarity to Fred's mother becoming a monster and attacking.


Bit soon after his last one, but since he's involved in that event, I hope it's alright.

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - seeing John's eyes turn black in a network video post
What is returned: The canon memory of seeing another person's eyes turn black, along with the term 'Geier' and the feeling that the two are related.


(Hopefully this isn't too soon after his last one, and if it is no worries!)

[birdinthehand]

Player: Lampdevil
Character: Ankh (Takayuki Izumi)
Reason for Echo: Seeing someone turn into a giant mantis-bug-thing on the network here.
What is returned: A canon memory of being attacked by a mantis-like monster, and of defending some scruffy-looking hobo-guy from it before getting badly beaten up, himself. The mantis monster also calls him by the name "Ankh".

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[depolarized]

Player: Myth
Character: Riku
Reason for Echo: Canon Reoccurence: Watching Van float on his back
AND GiggleScorpion Event .

In Kingdom Hearts (1), Riku creates shadow heartless that look and behave like Sora, one behavior of which is that the shadow Sora float on their backs in mid-air. Being Sora-shaped, clothed in black/black hair and floating on his back in mid-air, it would potentially remind Riku of that time.

What is returned:
The memory of that Heartless on Captain Hook's ship, a comatose girl (Kairi) and Hook himself. --Most likely in Hook's Cabin.

For the Scorpion event, a memory of stabbing Maleficent in the back, unlocking her heart while being drunk on power/possibly possessed by Ansem. Quite disturbing. >.> Thiiiis should ideally give him a clue on what the keyblade can do/is for.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Christobel Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: Encountering weird-ass fungi beasts in this log (forthcoming interation) is both A Plot Thing and parallels this one time Starscream encountered mutant half-plant robots
What is returned: 1. Starscream's name.
2. Starscream's ability to actually fight -- which is to say, not his fighting skills, but rather the ability to just go "Nah, fuck it" and shut off that part of your brain screaming at you to run away. Basically, Chris will become much, MUCH less prone to running and more prone to Starscream-ish moments of charging in screaming and THEN running.

[reapsthewind]

I think maybe I should clarify here a bit

Chris tends to run from fights immediately unless cornered, because frankly getting hurt scares her. So, like with the were-dog hunt way back with Casval, Chris ran immediately

Starscream in the same situation would be more likely to charge in guns blazing, realize after five shots that he's in way over his head, and THEN start running. This is a slight personality adjustment to get Chris to be more likely to do the latter than the former. It'll also make her much more likely to suggest violence as a solution rather than a last resort.

[15minuteslate]

Player: Krystal
Character: Mamoru/Ichigo
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence -- realizing that he's being chased by monsters that can track him, and people around him got hurt because of it.
What is returned: His shihakusho -- the black shinigami pajamas.

Player: Krystal
Character: Mamoru/Ichigo
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence -- seeing Hikari/Lucia/Rukia covered in blood on her video post.
What is returned: A memory of Rukia, in the shinigami pajamas, sitting on a street, covered in blood, and the name "Rukia".

[theearth]

Both Echoes approved! Add to thy info post!

[wirsinddiejager]

Player: Aave
Character: Alan Hunter
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence - martial arts lesson
What is returned: Badass martial arts skillz

[theearth]

Before we pass formal approval, would this be mastery of a specific martial art, or more of an aptitude for getting a hang of all kinds?

[seriallylucky]

It occurs to me, knowing the ending I can ask for this before we get to the recurrence in-thread...

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: His mother getting transformed and then dying
In canon, Felix's parents and the man who later becomes his sister's father-in-law get turned into a three-headed dragon and forced to fight the party. Afterward they de-transform and everyone knows who and what they are, and as far as the party's healers can tell they're dying with no way to help. There is some reason to believe (though no way to be sure) that Felix knows he's facing his parents, and does it anyway in order to save the world. So what's recurring here is the experience of a) having a transformed parent and then b) that parent being, for all intents and purposes, dead.
What is returned: A determination to save the world, regardless of the cost. (This does not mean that he'll be particularly more effective; with only low-level skills and no significant information about the threat, there's not a lot he'll be able to do. But it will mean that he'll be ICly more interested in getting involved and Doing Something.)

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post, and godspeed, Fred.
