Echo Requests (retired)

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: Haley
Character: Sam Iwata/Sasame
Reason for Echo: Canon Reoccurance--Sam's going to see Tamara's butterfly minion.
What is returned: A memory of a time he saw one of the minions, and a following conversation where Sasame tries to get Takako to use his life energy instead and discusses why he never told her of his feelings sooner.

Player: Kero.
Character: Colette Brunel.
Reason for Echo: Drinking the water!
What is returned: Very excellent enhanced hearing - to the point that it's actually painful to hear the things around her.

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

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie/Lightning
Reason for Echo: This abrasive kid getting hella frustrated at her, complete with the courtesy of showing what he looks and sounds like. Being agitated is just basically what Hope does during the early stages of their canon in particular.
What is returned: Hope Estheim's name and appearance as a teenager (with the silver hair and really... vivid taste in clothing), plus the intensely uncomfortable feeling that it just isn't right for him to be so pissed off at her.

Player: Batty
Character: Kotetsu Kaburagi
Reason for Echo: drinking ze water
What is returned: A memory of the scene with Maverick where he gives Kotetsu (drugged) tea to drink and his actual drinking of it keeps getting interrupted. It'll be out of context so all he'll know is that he's talking to an older man about someone being missing and what might have happened to him. There are a couple references to his name/the nickname "Bunny" which will be muffled/too hazy to remember and won't stand out in the memory.

Player: Kamilah
Character: Arthur Pendragon
Reason for Echo: Touching Excalibur (aka the sword in the stone he got from the previous echo)
What is returned: His swordsmanship skills; the physical ability to use swords in combat

Character: Arthur Pendragon
Reason for Echo: drinking the contaminated water
What is returned: his ring (originally belonged to Ygraine)

Player: Katherine
Character: N
Reason for Echo: drinking contaminated water
What is returned: the ability for him to understand Pokémon/animals. Not as strong as in canon (where he can understand basically any species without trouble), he can understand more intelligent animals better. Mammals are the easiest, birds and reptiles harder. Fish and insects are more or less unintelligible to him.

Player: kou!
Character: banagher links!
Reason for Echo: gigglewater!
What is returned: the memory of the inside of his colony, industrial 7! it won't be unlike the remembrance of a hometown, it just happens to be one where the sky is round and full of buildings thanks to the cylindrical shape of the colonies.

Reason for Echo: canon recurrence!
What is returned: got permission from kero to have banagher use his newtype ability to sense colette in trouble. it's the first time his ability has honed in on a specific person needing help in game, and it'll trigger the memory of mineva zabi/audrey burne similarly 'reaching out' for help when she snuck into industrial 7. for context, instead of finding a safe route into the colony, she winds up ejecting herself out of the service route for the artificial sun. she thinks, "I can't die." and banagher is able to pick up on that willpower enough to hijack a mini mobile suit and go search for her.

specifically, he'll remember sensing that "I can't die" sentiment, and needing to catch someone from falling. he'll have a very vague inkling about who it was, but won't remember actually finding or catching mineva/audrey.

Player: Lucy
Character: Aria Megido
Reason for Echo: Mara's bloodwheel. So, canon recurrence which was a little hard to avoid because MARA. I have 0 plans for anything else, promise.
What is returned: Just the general idea that this is in fact a thing.

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

Player: Levon
Character: Thomas Akagi
Reason for Echo: Drinking the contaminated water.
What is returned: Memories of the seasons of Super Sentai besides Goseiger and both seasons of Akibaranger.

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Mort Yokugawa/Kiyoto Maki
Reason for Echo: Drinking the tainted water.
What is returned: Doll accessories, namely a bed and pajamas. (The pajamas are red with a hood and devil horns, just to make it that much better.) They have no special significance and are just random items Maki was seen using with the doll.

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

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto/Enter
Reason for Echo: Going back through the IC FAQ and watching the Sage of Earth's explanation of the alien nature of The Enemy.
What is returned: A vague memory of that time he collaborated with an alien invasion. He won't gain any details or even distinct memories out of it, but he'll have the odd feeling that he's been involved with something like this before--just on the invasion's side.

Reason for Echo: Drinking the tainted water.
What is returned: His circuit-printed goggles. They won't have any of their special properties yet.

--

Character: Raul "Blues" Light/Protoman
Reason for Echo: Drinking the tainted water.
What is returned: The memory of being set on fire while a crowd of people watched. He'll recall it without context or further detail.

I suppose "just gonna stand there and watch me burn" is too obvious a one.

All Echoes approved - please update the relevant info posts accordingly!

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - seeing Kari's soul get ripped out of her chest
What is returned: The canon memory of seeing another woman's soul get ripped out of her, along with the fight beforehand and the knowledge that he was the cause of it

Reason for Echo: Plot echo - drinking the tap water
What is returned: His ability to tell when people aren't human. Canonly this involved being able to see the nonhuman's true form, so it'll work much the same in game - he'll be able to see any features that mark someone as not human, even if they're currently hidden. For nonhuman reincarnates, this will only work on features that the character has already received in an echo. For nonhuman NPCs, he'll only be able to see whatever the mods let him see.

Player permission will also be asked before Nick is able to tell if any characters aren't human.

The first Echo is approved!

However, before we formally stamp the second, might we ask how Nick's detection of nonhuman features would work - for example, would it be more along the lines of seeing a person's cat's-eyes through their colored contacts, or knowing that someone has vampire teeth even though they have their mouth closed?

Player: Nerdman
Character: Isaac Dian
Reason for Echo: Water tampering
What is returned: His immortality is returned, but only in his thumb. Everything else will heal normally.

Character: Miria Dian
Reason for Echo: Water tampering
What is returned: Immorality, but only in her index finger.

Before we stamp these, to clarify! Would the "immortality" in the indicated digits imply both anti-aging and damage regeneration?

Player: Lavvy
Character: Haseo / Ryou Misaki
Reason for Echo: Contaminated water ahoy
What is returned: This cutscene in memory form. Basically he is going to be convinced that whole sidequest is a thing that legit for real happened and he is totally a mythical Chosen One from a spooky fantasy universe.

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

Player: Pae
Character: Olaf Monroe
Reason for Echo: He drank the tap water
What is returned: His enhanced hearing and with that he'll start to really hate dog whistles.

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

Player: Aave
Character: Alan Hunter
Reason for Echo: Getting into an argument with Cain, paralleling a very similar argument Eren has with his squadmate Jean in canon.
What is returned: Memory of the argument with Jean, including discussion of how fucked up the military system is, Jean being a self-centred jerk, and Eren lashing out violently.

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

Player: Melon
Character: Audrey Burne
Reason for Echo: Drinking the water.
What is returned: The memory of Riddhe's bit of ranting at her aboard the Nahel Argama. He and Audrey go into a lot of topics during it, including the whole "Zieg Zeon" business, that her name is Mineva Zabi, an unnamed 'someone' still referred to her as 'Audrey', the backdoor dealings between Neo Zeon and the Federation as well as a mention of Laplace's Box, the One Year War and that her family has something to do with it. Oh and Riddhe Marcenas' name.

It's a lot but I really didn't want to cut this confrontation into chunks or anything. Likewise it's a lot of names and terms with no real explanation as to what they are so it's more an info dump she won't completely understand yet.

Reason for Echo: contaminated water
What is returned: his god awful coat

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

Player: Trap
Character: Toni/Naoto
Reason for Echo: Drinking the tainted tap water-- which she did willingly.
What is returned: The details of Naoto's kidnapping... Which aren't much, to be honest. This is how she described it (scroll down a little), but have a summary too:

At night, someone rang the doorbell at her residence, but upon investigating, no one was outside. From behind, someone incapacitated her with a drugged cloth over her mouth and nose, likely chloroform, but she had anticipated it and managed to stay conscious a little longer by not breathing in too much and pretending to have been subdued. From the culprit's actions, she deduced it was a man who had taken her even in her drugged state. After drifting for what seemed like just a few minutes, she felt her body hitting something.

However, she would not connect the impact with being thrown into the TV. Naoto only found out about the world inside the TV due to the Investigation Team saving her and bodily pulling her out of the TV.

This also doubles as a canon re-occurrence because Naoto had in fact put herself at risk in order to find out the truth-- she knew if people in Inaba put themselves on TV, they would be kidnapped, so she allowed herself to be interviewed on national television about her involvement in the strange case in Inaba. And true enough, she had been kidnapped shortly after appearing on TV. Likewise, after going through the posts about the tainted water, Toni felt she should investigate herself and willingly drank it to see if she could receive something as well, knowing about the risks and not caring very much.

ETA: After the six hours of giggles she'll pass out and have the echo and wake up hours later with the headache that comes with being exposed to chloroform.

Player: Tossino
Character: The Doctor/John Smith
Reason for Echo: Tap waterrr
What is returned: Engineering skills; the ability of fixing and building advanced technological things, although (not yet) anything beyond what is already known by humans in this day and age.

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

Player: nor
Character: Bertholdt Fubar
Reason for Echo: Talking to Ryan (and Annie) about giants. Fe fi fo fum.
What is returned: The memory of a huge amount of steam. He won't remember releasing it himself, just the memory of a titanic (haha) burst of steam and the boiling heat of it.

Player: nor
Character: Bertholdt Fubar
Reason for Echo: Meeting Ryan for the first time in person.
What is returned: Memories of training camp. Nothing really specific, but he'll remember being happy with other people.

Player: Mawi

Character: Romsca/Stella
Reason for Echo: giggle water
What is returned: There is now a small tattoo on her left front paw, on the main pawpad. Considering her paws are pretty tiny (no more than a couple of inches big), she's probably going to be the only one who notices it for the longest time. She has many, many more tattoos coming up in her future hueheuheuheu

Reason for Echo: forgot to pick up an echo for this encounter whoops
What is returned: The tune to a traditional corsair shanty. Specifically, the shanty that you sing when you want to challenge someone to a fight to the death. She won't remember the lyrics, but it's a pretty bouncy tune!

Character: Mezool/Azure
Reason for Echo: giggle water
What is returned: three of these. These are Cell Medals, which make up a Greeed's body like a blood or muscle cell would for a human being. As Azure is not a Greeed yet, these have no real powers or significance.

Character: Sora/Skyler
Reason for Echo: giggle water
What is returned: A memory of some jackass tossing him a paopu fruit, along with him hearing himself say the words, "A paopu fruit?"

Reason for Echo: LINING UP THE PIECES YOURS AND MINE OR SMTH
What is returned: A memory of Kairi giving him the Oathkeeper in the first game, along with her saying, "Take this." [ LEANS OVER WITH HER HANDS ON HER HIPS ] "It's my lucky charm. Be sure to bring it back to me." If it's possible, I'd also like him to remember a few more seconds more into the conversation so we can squeeze in the fact that he promised to bring it back, but that is not necessary at all.

Edited (oNE MOOOORE THING) 2013-08-08 09:36 (UTC)

The first four Echoes are approved!

However, on the last, what exactly would the link be between the story and Sora receiving the Oathkeeper from Kairi?

Player: Kim
Character: Kurogane / Youou
Reason for Echo: Drinking the water
What is returned: The memory of taking the brunt of a collision in order to protect Sakura in the world Piffle, resulting in him crashing into the water. Also the appearance of a wound on his hand which was the result of the crash.

Apologies for the inconvenience! But before we stamp approval, might we ask for either the memory or the wound as a single Echo?

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Talking to Bertholdt about 'giants' and the mention of crushing people like ants.
What is returned: A memory of towering over people, being shot at (he wouldn't know what) but not taking damage. (IE: mirroring the events of the first titan attack)

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Meeting Bertholdt in person for the first time.
What is returned: Reiner's nickname for Bertholdt, "Bertl."

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

Player: Myth
Character: Riku
Reason for Echo: Giggle Water + Canon Reccurrence from playfighting with Shou at the beach, possibly

Canon Reoccurence: "Come on [...] I thought you were better than that." Riku's taunt to Shou barring the taken out parts is almost word perfect to instances when Riku taunted others, and is particularly apt for Sora at a beach, given their friendly rivalry on Destiny Islands, which is... half beach.

Riku's Voice, presumably Sora's memory in KH1: Voice of Riku: Giving up already? Come on, Sora. I thought you were
stronger than that.
358/2 Days to Roxas: Riku: Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that.

What is returned:
Giggle Water = The memory of his confrontation with Zexion at Castle Oblivon where in the fake Destiny Islands, Zexion basically calls him out on all his mistakes and talks about how he's a creature of Darkness and his heart is empty except for Darkness. (script excerpt pasted here).

Canon Recurrence= Brief memory of taunting and playfighting with wooden swords on Destiny Islands.

I'm okay with blurred faces/names/gaps, if needed. orz
