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: Surge
Character: Kanti Miriam Singh/Kanaya Maryam
Reason for Echo: Mine Exploration
What is returned: Her fetching shade of jade green blood. It's gonna be not at all pleasant and the biological repercussions of having a completely different type of blood transporting oxygen throughout her body mean that her organs will either need to change into Troll ones, or she will need an adjusting period. Personally, I don't care which.

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

And changes in type of blood have in the past been assumed to come with assumption of according organ adjustment - feel free to play it however you like!

Player: Levon
Character: Thomas Akagi
Reason for Echo: Mine Exploration
What is returned: Thomas' car has turned into the one he drove in series, the Machine Itasha. The plates will not have changed though and it will not be able to transform. Beyond turning into an anime deco Prius, there would also be a CD with the theme song of the fictional television show Z-Cune Aoi-tan on the dashboard.

If the CD is a separate and discrete item, although it's a smaller thing, it'd be best to grant it through a separate Echo.

The car itself meanwhile is certainly approved, and assume it does come with if the CD is indeed somehow part of it - please update your info post accordingly!

Player: Helen / den-chan
Character: Alucard / Adrian
Reason for Echo: Long spell of absence and in "vampire sleep" brought on a physical change.
What is returned: Pale skin / the desire for blood.

Would "vampire sleep" be a state that Adrian would be able to fall into at his current place along his Echo process? If not, specifying that the trigger is in a period of isolation itself as a parallel of sorts to it ought to do nicely enough!

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Taking part in the mine investigation and for good measure battling beasties in close quarters.
What is returned: The Antorbok ("Project") rune - unusable for anything without a Circle of Power, a Target rune (to Antorbok's action/command rune), and an Alignment rune. One of each of the other necessary types of runes were used by his past self, respectively Magormor ("Item") and Ulyaoth, combining on a Circle of Power to cast a spell the effect of which is to "project the power of Ulyaoth onto this item", in other words an Enchant Item spell.

Oh and this one too, approved.

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: MINES. A Vermedi encounter, specifically.
What is returned: His preincarnation's inclination toward ruthlessness. That means choosing pragmatic actions over moral ones, stubbornly trying to win his fights without regard for others, I am never wrong no you shut up, and so forth.

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

Player: Nerdman
Character: Isaac Dian
Reason for Echo: Mine Exploration
What is returned: His healing factor/immortality extends from his index finger up his entire left arm.

Character: Miria Dian | Miria Harvent
Reason for Echo: Mine Exploration
What is returned: She gets to receive the lovely memory of spotting Czeslaw Meyer's bloody body on the side of the train. She recognizes that she was still wearing her Western showgirl costume at the time.

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry
Reason for Echo: Water balloon fights at the Labor Day party. Specifically, water balloon fights among an admittedly odd, somewhat abnormal group of individuals Arthur feels like he shares a common cause with.
What is returned: A brief memory of the JLI/JSA mixer aboard the JLI's satellite. All Arthur will remember is the moment the party between two superhero teams devolved into a pie fight. He'll see glimpses of several other superheroes and not know their names, only which ones he was and wasn't angry with. He will specifically remember going at it with Wildcat, who he will only remember as an old guy dressed up like a giant cat. He'll also remember the Martian Manhunter trying to get them to stop, though, again, no specifics regarding names or the fact that the green dude is a Martian.

Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa
Reason for Echo: Mine exploration
What is returned: Part of Vin's fighting ability. Mostly focused around knife combat.

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: His little trip down into the mines with the others.
What is returned: Memory of the aftermath of Joker's defeat in the first Battle Royale, when he was sealed by Human Undead. He only mentions it in passing in canon, so the specifics are headcanon largely based upon other flashbacks to the first Battle Royale between the Undead and Human Undead's small onscreen appearances. Basically, Hajime will remember being defeated and in pain in his Joker form. His belt cracked in half, making him feel even worse, and a floating black stone slab showed up to seal him into a playing card, the specifics of which will be hard for him to remember since at the time he was in maddened wounded animal mode. He'll remember that part as being drawn upward towards the slab and into a small, dark prison while being enraged that it ended like this. The whole time, he can see Human Undead watching him and smiling, though he will not remember the other's name or why this is happening.

Since Human Undead is the blueprint for Hajime's human form and is what Hajime sees when he looks in the mirror, he's going to be incredibly confused by all of this.

Player: Kya
Character: Soren/Sollux
Reason for Echo: Are water echoes still up for grabs? If so then that, otherwise I will wait!
What is returned: Hearing the voices of the imminently deceased. But I'm thinking just not being able to make them out, basically just thinking he's hearing voices.

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

Player: Blue
Character: Cinderella (Rarity)
Reason for Echo: The spread of food brought to the Labor Day party includes caramel apples, apple pie, apple tarts, and to cap it off apple cider - a very pleasantly apple-rich sight and set of scents!
What is returned: Memory of Sweet Apple Acres - its appearance and the awareness that it was an apple farm whose owners had the knack for producing the most marvelous apple baked goods and cider.

NO.

... Er, I mean, approved! You know what to do.

Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa
Reason for Echo: Meeting Cinderella at the Labour Day party.
What is returned: Vin's aversion to horses.

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

Player: Joc
Character: Xander Jarle / Sandrath
Reason for Echo: A discussion about physical changes over the network with Anthony, which Xander learns that not everyone on it is human.
What is returned: The start of Sandrath's 'fallen arch-angel' form from within, although at this point Xander would be unaware of it's existence until he receives more echoes.

Reason for Echo: Water balloon fight at the Labor Day party.
What is returned: A memory from Sandrath's first war, viewing the battlefield which is scattered with craters, debris, dead and able bodies before an explosion lands in front of him. The impact knocks the wind out of him, leaving him dazed and confused as a second voice expresses his concern from the inside while several soldiers from the opposing side approach.

For the first one, could you please explain a little better what you mean by the start of his fallen arch-angel form? What exactly is changing?

For the second, we just wanted to make sure that it's... particularly reminiscent of the memory described - water balloon fights generally have a pretty different set of emotions attributed to them than an actual warzone, so is there a certain thing he does during the party that is particularly similar to the Echoed event or such?

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: seeing Danny's creepy glowing green blood. As it happens, Transformers ALSO have glow in the dark "blood." Theirs just happens to be pink, not green.
What is returned: Vague knowledge that in whatever universe Starscream was from, there were actually a huge variety of alien species, with all kinds of weird colored blood.

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

Player: g-man
Character: Mordin Solus
Reason for Echo: Mine exploration
What is returned: Full salarian metabolism.

Could you elaborate exactly what this will mean for Mordin, please?

theearth - 2013-09-16 00:59 (UTC) - Expand

Player: aave
Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: Ellie asking him what the titans in his memories looked like
What is returned: Memory of the other recruits asking him about the attack on Shiganshina and what the titans there looked like.

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

Player: Louise
Character: Annabel Lyons
Reason for Echo: Talking with Alan. About things. Anime only viewers don't click lol spoilers
What is returned: This scene up until around 7:30. That would be Annie in her titan form swallowing Eren - don't watch the video if you're squeamish.

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel -- asking Reilanin if she has to eat people, just as he had asked her the same thing in their past life, and her answer being, in both cases, essentially "no, but I will."
What is returned: The memory of the conversation that question was a part of.

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

Player: Myf
Character: Reilanin Bainbridge
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - being asked by Alex about the necessity of her eating people.
What is returned: The memory of the conversation the question was part of (as seen here)

Echo approved! Please remember to update your info post!

Player: nor
Character: Bertholdt Fubar
Reason for Echo: Ryan kissing his nape.
What is returned: Just a little baby Echo for once, but the neck/nape sensitivity that comes with being a Titan. Annie does this even in human form, she covers her neck while fighting instinctively so that's where this headcanon comes from. He'll just be sensitive and avoid being touched there by people he doesn't know.

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

Player: Mon
Character: Makani Kapule
Reason for Echo: LAST ONE FOR A BIT, I PROMISE. In the mines, Ryan and Mac saved Tavia and Alan from a Vermedi. Mac specifically went to charge at it with his hammer. Well, as it turns out, this isn't the first time he's faced small all-black creatures before. Though it is the first time he's seen a Vermedi.
What is returned: Specific knowledge that Imps, by name, were a thing (with, if allowable, the vague knowledge that they weren't the only creatures he had to deal with), and he fought them often. Though, as always, context escapes him.

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto/Enter
Reason for Echo: Watching this thread between Calista and Akagi, specifically Akagi's mention that Enter "got rid of" and had loved Escape.
What is returned: The memory of his conversation with a corrupted backup of Escape, as he finally gives up and abandons her. He'd realize that even if the woman he was talking to looked and sounded the same, she was not Escape in his eyes and the original was gone.

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

Player: Pae
Character: Olaf Monroe
Reason for Echo: Monroe looks through the network and sees this woman with red eyes
What is returned: Monroe's eyes chance to red on command or when he's feeling intense emotions.

Reason for Echo: this thread where he and Nick have a homemade candle lit dinner with wine a jazz music.
What is returned: His memory of having a homemade candle lit dinner with wine a jazz music.

Reason for Echo: Nick gives him a bottle of wine for Monroe doing something Nick wanted him to do (going to Tamara and Emmanuel's meeting)
What is returned: The memory of Nick gives him a bottle of wine for Monroe doing something Nick wanted him to do.

All three Echoes approved! Please update your info accordingly!

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