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.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: (1) Meeting the Sage and (2) bat-trap.
What is returned:
(1) An additional 25% of his regenerative ability.
(2) Hypnotism. From his app:

He is able to put a person or an animal in a trance. While in the trance, he can make simple demands, like retrieving the newspaper from outside. He cannot make complicated demands, like filling out the crossword section. Depending on the person, some actions may or may not constitute as complicated. For example, someone who is comfortable with driving will drive under his order, but someone who is still learning will not because there’s more thought that goes into the action for them.

He must make eye contact to hypnotize someone/something.

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Fluttershy/Sarah Makinen
Reason for Echo: Watching the Sage via network
What is returned: The memory of facing a dragon; specifically, this clip, from about 0:18 to about 1:16. This would not include any sense of being pony-shaped, nor visuals of the other ponies.

2x echo showdown

[wastingtime]

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Hearing the Sage speak via Emmanuel's post.
What is returned: Physical. Elian will receive a Cyber Planet Key (the one in the bottom center), which was basically the gimmick from the toy line he was introduced in. THAT SAID it will be about the size it is IRL - only slightly bigger than an SD card. And while it won't be made of plastic, it will be about as useful. No powers, though it will be warm to the touch.
I'm aware this wasn't mentioned in the application, and am fine with it being denied on the basis of such. If that's the case, I'd like to ask for something else, but will need a bit to think on it. This just seemed to jive best with the situation.


Reason for Echo: Loved ones in danger and him helpless to do anything? Christobel isn't a Minicon, but she is family. That whole cavein thing will make him anything but happy, and give him the same sinking horror that he felt in that other life, that he's lost someone who needed him.
What is returned: SO JUST AFTER THE AFOREMENTIONED EVENT IN HIS OTHER LIFE Elian Vector this guy went back through time to fix that. While I do not want that to happen now (dear god no), I'm thinking it's justification for something that will lead up to that, though. Which is basically his internal clock solidifying itself, and being just as if not more accurate as an atomic clock.

[hoennmaihime]

sorry for the delay, I'm dumb and echo requesting is still confusing for me

waiting on a response from Pam (EDIT: we've confirmed that this is going to be a thing) but I'm thinking Regina could save Haruka from a really close call because Satoshi was always the one (out of the main 4) to save Haruka's life when it needs saving.

and while I'm here:

Reason for Echo: Meeting the sage
What is returned: Blaziken's pokeball (minus Blaziken)

[playmisere]

Player: Yubi
Character: PM/Pandora Masse
Reason for Echo: Watching the Sage on the network
What is returned: A bit of carapace programming, specifically some of the game lore - something like: "...a realm of Warring Royalty in a Timeless Expanse. A realm of Agents and Exiles and Consorts and Kernelsprites. Of toiling Underlings and slumbering Denizens. A realm where four will gather, the Heir of Breath and Seer of Light, the Knight of Time and Witch of Space, and together they will Ascend." There's also some mention of the sleeping Princes and Princesses of the Moon.

Imagine the kind of stuff NPCs blither on about in RPGs, because this is exactly what this is.

edit: By "programming" I basically mean she'll simply "know" all this, without quite having an associated memory of hearing the lore from somebody.

[ursoreckless]

Player: Alec
Character: Shou Chinen
Reason for Echo: Watching the Sage speak over the Network
What is returned: Item
A black and white leather jacket that has a few bullet holes on the one side (as if someone had shot at it while it was waving in the air) and is just a little snug across the chest.


Reason for Echo: Friends in danger and he being unable to save them right away even if it's not a group of gangsters shooting a friend that was trying to protect another friend. It's still brings to mind the same feeling of helplessness and loss.
What is returned: Physical
Bullet scar - Sho lived a hard life and had several scars from the gun fights he got into, but the largest one is the bullet wound from when his brother-in-law shot (and killed) him. It hit the lung and is kind of wound that he shouldn't have survived without having immediate medical attention.

*in a Ren & Stimpy voice* JOY!!

[darkhourdear]

Player: Bookie
Character: Pharos
Reason for Echo: Hearing the Sage speak via the network
What is returned: Slight regain of inability to be killed- can't be killed by an immediate hit, but can still die from long-standing fatal wounds.

Reason for Echo: Talk of potential end of the world
What is returned: Very general awareness that that was a problem in his own world

[reckless_fire]

Player:Sylver
Character:Kenji/Kazuma
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence echo during his berserker rampage in the mines.
What is returned: Brief flashes of memories of his berserker rampage after Kimishima's death. Just the rampage part, though. I'm not quite ready for him to remember that Kimishima died, just yet.

[theearth]

Drat - I apologize for the inconvenience, but while we will stamp this, I'd like to request that it begins as a toned-down version first - perhaps half its usual size and weight, but no less solid and liable to cause damage when dropped!

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post, keep riled, and rampage on.

[theearth]

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

[mightymegatron]

Player: Stefan
Character: Matthew/Megatron
Reason for Echo: Encounter with the Sage/fighting in the caverns
What is returned: His knowledge of how to fight and kill people. No associated memories of doing such, but he's going to start noticing where and how he ought to be moving and thinking when it comes to fighting.

[theearth]

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

[theearth]

The first Echo is approved!

However, while the second also seems reasonable, for further clarity's sake, is there a certain time limit on the trance? Does it weaken under prolonged eye contact? Or does it hold as long as Alexander maintains it?

[seriallylucky]

Roger! Like I said, I'm fine with diminishment.

[theearth]

Excellent!

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

[theearth]

Understood - and so sorry to keep you waiting!

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

[15minuteslate]

Player: Krystal
Character: Ichigo/Mamoru
Reason for Echo: Watching the livestream of the Sage
What is returned: Part of Ichigo's uncanny ability to learn new techniques fast. It's not Gary Stu gamebreaking superhuman fast yet, but it's not limited to fighting techniques. Basically, if Mamoru gets a chance to try something firsthand/experiment with it/practice it, he gets good at it very quickly.

[wannabered]

Player: Levon
Character: Thomas (Nobuo) Akagi
Reason for Echo: Fighting the Vermedi
What is returned: The Moe Moe Z-Cune; Akagi's combination transformation device, anime doll, communicator, and side arm. It is locked in the handgun mode and without access to it's finishing shots. Akagi will not gain any memory of it's other functions or purpose.

[theearth]

Under conditions of retconning the learnt basics of Starscream's chemistry knowledge so that her hearing the Sage speak provided an Echo to convert her arms into roboticized ones and the biting by the bats induce a second Echo that equip those arms with their laser cannons, Echo approved with apologies for both the wait and all of those superfluous preceding words!

Please add relevant data to your info post.

[theearth]

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

[theearth]

The first Echo is approved!

However, in regards to the second, to strengthen it, as the canon parallel is to an event that Shou's pre-incarnation was there for in-person, will he be coming along with the attempting rescue party?

[theearth]

I am afraid that we'll have to not grant the second, as the basis isn't quite intense enough to cause an Echo - it isn't too horrifically uncommon that people discuss the end of the world, after all!

The first Echo, on the other hand, we will absolutely grant - if we may first ask for a bit of detail in regards to his damage tolerance. For example, what types of injuries would he and would he not be so susceptible to succumbing to?

[theearth]

We will stamp this - but first, to clarify, both encountering the Sage and fighting in the caverns grant one potential Echo each. Is this Echo only using one of the two, or will it be in two parts building off each other, one immediately following the other?
