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

[horrorterribubble]

Player: Quix
Character: Her Imperious Condescension
Reason for Echo: Interacting with the vermini filled human.
What is returned: Her x2 trident. Literally all it is is a double ended trident made out of some kind of sturdy scifi gold.

[earnedmystripes]

Player: Batty
Character: Kotetsu Kaburagi
Reason for Echo: Watching the video of Paul Ben's death. Conspiracy is a pretty big canon parallel.
What is returned: A flash of the Ouroboros symbol

EDITING to ask: Paul's death is pretty much proof that Jack was framed, so if that was a thing that happened in canon would this count as two echoes or one...

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: The sheep smell coming off Detective Sherman...
What is returned: The memory of helping with sheep birthing, but in the highlands rather than in Iowa where he actually did help with sheep birthing. And with people he doesn't know now, but who were his family before he was turned. Very brief. (Note: This is headcanon again! But fits his personality, I think.)

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: Shaking the detective's hand at the end of the interview.
What is returned: That blue book he picked up in his first echo turns into the one he used to carry in his past life, only it's still mostly blank. The size changes a little, the gold-stamped dates show up, and maybe two entries show up, nothing incriminating.

[withregret]

Player: Kero.
Character: Legretta the Quick.
Reason for Echo: Touching the statue in the Dead District.
What is returned: The memory of trying to kill a man who had done something against her. She doesn't know what he did or why, but she remembers trying to kill him and him managing to overthrow her while laughing. Latent feelings of hatred and anger come along with this memory.

[argents]

Player: kou
Character: banagher links
Reason for Echo: introducing himself to miss audrey burne. when he introduced himself in canon, he also ended up introducinggg...
What is returned: haro! an adorable little robot with no powers whatsoever aside from being really plucky and seeking out the cutest nearby girls in every reiteration of the canon. basically, it's a toy.

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sasame
Reason for Echo: Touching the detective (I'm assuming this'll happen at some point, anyway...)
What is returned: Sasame's need to protect people--both a desire to, and a feeling that it's his "duty."

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: He's proving himself to have issues working with others here and here
What is returned: Memory of his first meeting with Blade. Blade wants to fight together, but Hajime claims everyone is his enemy and lashes out at the other Rider before leaving. Both he and Blade are transformed. Hajime won't remember what he looked like aside from being aware he was armored somehow, and he'll just get a memory of hitting a guy in different weird bug-themed armor.

x 2

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Getting her grubby hands all over the second snake statue.
What is returned: More of her chaos-based soul; vague sense that there's something different, in a way that makes her keep touching the area around her heart as if expecting something to be there. As a direct result, her Thunder spell also gets slightly stronger.

Reason for Echo: Seeing Elizabeth/Euphemia and aaaall of that long pink hair.
What is returned: Her own hair becomes unusually prone to fading... and starts growing in pink. Yep.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: First mention of werewolves
What is returned: A memory of running and hunting as a wolf, with the Woolsey pack.

Toldja they'd start coming with the werewolf plot...

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: An offer to guide Jack to a place of safety by using his knowledge of the terrain to keep them from being spotted = guiding the Hobbits to Rivendell. "Strider can take you by paths that are seldom trodden."
What is returned: The ability to move with silence and stealth, especially in terrain he knows well.

[deathcough]

Player: Kalyn
Character: Souji Okita
Reason for Echo: touching the statue
What is returned: Memory of sparring with Hajime, but no context as to why.

x2

[unfearing]

Player: Liv
Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Saitou briefed him on the rather overwhelming, high-stakes situations going on, which was something Saitou often did in the past.
What is returned: A guilt-ridden memory of a night when Saitou similarly debriefed him on a mission he'd just completed, involving the assassination of a young girl.

Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: While visiting the Dead District at a rather seedy time to meet with Aragorn, she went and felt up the statue.
What is returned: A brief but vivid flash of the flag of the Holy Britannian Empire.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura Ryou
Reason for Echo: Playing D&D with a group of plot signifiant friends.
What is returned: Very condensed memories of Monster World,
with special focus on the conflict between the two Bakurae and the end result Also, some phantom pains in his left hand to go with the wow painful memory.

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: Attempting to scare someone into being more cautious with his trust, then denying the terrible what-if scenario with logic reminds him of his first meeting with Frodo & company in Bree.
What is returned: He remembers the text of Gandalf's letter to Frodo in its entirety.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Some kind of "werewolf" encounter.
What is returned: Lungs changing into pigeon lungs (though... proportional to his chest, so he doesn't just die), smaller and differently made and oh yes not involved with the diaphragm, so... unable to breathe deeply, about level three dyspnea when calm.

and soon after that

Reason for Echo: Being told firmly to breathe and take deep breaths, in person, while being examined.
What is returned: Pigeon air sacs off his lungs and the ability to use them, allowing those lungs to actually be used effectively. Without some other birdy adaptations - hollow bones, extra large red blood cells, a faster metabolism, a large powerful slow heart - he couldn't get the full benefit of them, but hey, it becomes very difficult for him to be out of breath.

Neither happens instantaneously.

Hmm. Could that heartbeat-sound of getting an echo be heard by someone else? Say with a stethescope at the time?

[seabeast]

Player: Mawi
Character: Romsca
Reason for Echo: DEAD ANIMALS EVERYWHERE AFTER THE VERMINI GOT EXTERMINATED A WEEK AGO HOT DANG!! She was on a ship whose crew got caught up in a massacre, leaving her and one other creature as the only survivors. She died shortly after that.
What is returned: Improved vision! Right now she has near-sighted domestic ferret-o-vision, I'd like to improve that to an average human capability.

[secondcomingof]

Player: Deus
Character: Full Frontal (Casval)
Reason for Echo: Casval asked Kotetsu, rather insistently, to come with him and "move forward" into the future. This is a pretty close canon parallel to when...
What is returned: ...Full Frontal corners Banagher in the Nahel Argama's hangar and implores him to join forces. So he'll be getting this memory back. It's also the scene where that obnoxious gif I keep spamming comes from. Also this questionable icon.

[earnedmystripes]

Player: Batty
Character: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi
Reason for Echo: Casval telling him not to shoulder the blame for the shooting of Paul Ben alone (parallel of his older brother telling him not to try to be so tough and do everything by himself)
What is returned: An item echo of his Wild Tiger mask!

[kingside]

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia
Reason for Echo: Euphemia/Elizabeth offering her hand to Lelouch/Brendan here.
What is returned: Overpowering guilt. Brendan will feel like he's wronged Elizabeth in some horrible, unforgivable way but won't know precisely why.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky
Reason for Echo: Going to learn to shoot guns with Casval Mass; she'll find a Walther P38 pistol. That pistol happens to be her Megatron's alt mode.
What is returned: Knowledge of exactly how to load and fire the device with extreme accuracy. This accuracy will extend to using firearms of all types, though she won't know how to load and fire (and clean) anything but the Walther P38).

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: Dungeons and Dragons
What is returned: This one time, in the TV show, Starscream went back in time and conquered a small medieval castle. There was also a dragon. It was REALLY STUPID.
Chris is going to remember this. The fact that in those memories she is a GIANT ROBOT and everyone with her is a GIANT ROBOT is still not quite going to register yet, but she IS going to register that she is much larger than everyone else and accompanied by similarly large people. She will get the basic gist of what goes on, including building the electric generator and making gunpowder... but just not the giant robot bit.

She's going to be very confused by all this. My canon is silly.

[unfearing]

Player: Liv
Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: Casval just swore to defend her over on the network.
What is returned: Similarly, once upon a time Euphemia had a knight who also swore to protect her, so she gets back the little emblem/badge that her knight carries as a symbol of his status.

[11ady]

Player: Robyn
Character: Lady Une
Reason for Echo: Getting a gun in the werewolf encounter later. Just covering my bases now since I'm a forgetful herpaderp.
What is returned: Sharpshooting skills. :)

[formermagicalgirl]

Player: Nadia
Character: Takako/Fenrir
Reason for Echo: This conversation
What is returned: Her memory of the first time she became the Pretear and the knight getting badly hurt because of her mistakes in the battle.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Werewolf encounter/hunt
What is returned: A snip of the battle vs Mahado. A note on the nature of the Ring,, Diabound's 2nd form and the fact that the changes are fueled by TKB's hate
