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.

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

Like I said, scanning and diagnostic functions - for example, it would reveal internal injuries and physical echoes of sufficient size. It has very little with regards to actual healing ability, it's more of a scanning tool right now.

Aside from that, nothing else. I don't want to give him too much to quickly.

[theearth]

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

[skickpowered]

Since, this ability only showed up in one episode sadly and didn't explain much further about it, I'm just going to headcanon that he can pick up from the quietest whispers to... maybe a jet taking off. /o\

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn | Aaron Strider
Reason for Echo: Fighting the Vermedi
What is returned: The hilt half of Narsil

A SIDE NOTE: after this, I'm going to take a break on Echoes for at least a week, possibly two. Aaron's getting pretty high in the Echo numbers again and I'll probably have him sit out of the next Echo granting event.

[theearth]

Ohh no, so sorry for the delay on my own end, and thank you for your patience.

Echo approved - please add relevant data to your info post!

And assuming equal degrees of direness between situations, that ought to work!

[theearth]

Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Echo approved! Please add the relevant facts to your info post!

[hoennmaihime]

Thank youuu!

[theearth]

Got it - and so sorry for the wait!

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

[theearth]

It certainly does help!

But to clarify, before we formally stamp the Echo, is it fair to state on interpreting its nature that, in practice outside of the measure of stats, it alleviates the worst effects of more serious wounds but doesn't "re-energize" characters and as such will not "wake up" an unconscious character?

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

sorry for the delay

[theearth]

I mean that since this world runs on different rules, only his influence has any bearing on whether or not they're there.

no worries!

[professorwolf]

Aaaah all right, that makes sense now! Sounds good, to me, I'll work with that :)

[seriallylucky]

I... think so? I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the worst effects of serious wounds, but I can definitely agree that it doesn't re-energize, and it does fix up wounds.

>:T

[theearth]

In that case, Echo approved (which is what I should have mentioned last night, whoops). Remember to update oh what am I saying you know how to do this.

Player: Nadia
Character: Takako
Reason for Echo: This thread with Colette
What is returned: A memory of this scene where Sasame makes pretty much the same offer to Fenrir and she refuses for the same reason (it starts around 8:59, the video keeps not wanting to go to the right spot for me). In canon terms when Fenrir says he'll disintegrate, she means he would die since that is one way to kill one of the knights. And just the first little bit where he makes the offer and refuses, not the part where she asks why he never told her he loved her and she gets all sadistic to make up for how long the last one was.

And yeah, I know she's getting a bit high in echoes as well and I'll probably be holding off as well, but I already avoided requesting this one once when it was hinted at by Sasame at the gallery.

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Fighting Vermedi.
What is returned: He'll get really offended to the point of aggression if someone throws playing cards at him, especially if it's a single card and looks like it was a targeted attack. This is because he was canonly sealed into a card for 10,000 years and gets offended when referred to as a card. The manner in which Riders seal Undead into cards is to throw a special blank card at them. Hajime will not know why having cards thrown at him makes him flip out, nor will this likely be a situation he will run into often at all. His instinctive reaction will be to pick a fight, reflexively summoning out his transformation belt and reaching for the card he needs to initiate the transformation into Chalice...only he doesn't have that card and doesn't know how the belt works or what it's supposed to do. The reflexive gesture and sudden anger will just confuse him once he calms down.

[sacrifice_everything]

Player: Xep
Character: Bluestar
Reason for Echo: Having racism explained to her, in a roundabout sense.
What is returned: Her own canon's form of racism; she would start judging other cats for being "kittypets" (house cats), and have a distinct sense that she should not be one herself. She would start seeing herself as more important/smarter/stronger than the other cats in the city as well, although she wouldn't flaunt it as much as other cats in her canon might.

"Kittypet" is basically an insult on par with the N-word as far as the forest cats are concerned; it implies that you're nothing but a fancy human plaything.

[italktofish]

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: Watching the Sage's broadcast.
What is returned: He'll get the memory of his ROUSING SONG OF HEROISM. All he will remember is the lyrics and tune; he's not getting any sort of context. He will know that he called it his Rousing Song of Heroism, but he will not remember that it was Aquaman's Rousing Song of Heroism.

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

[theearth]

Echo approved! ...And prejudice against domestic animals not endorsed, but that's beside the point! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[theearth]

"Oh, Hajime. You're such a card."

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

[theearth]

I apologize for the inconvenience - however, as the Echo would have already been theoretically prompted once and failed to trigger, although that was for OOC reasons, might it be adequate to save this Echo for an even closer moment to the one remembered? For example, next time someone makes such an offer to her in person it will certainly be granted.

[formermagicalgirl]

I'm a bit confused, is this not close enough, or do I just have too many?

I ask mostly because I held off on it since I knew it would have been denied then, would have been a second canon recurrence for the same thread, not exactly close enough, and also would have been too many at the time and I want to be sure that when I resubmit that it's not an almost guaranteed denial.

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: Accidentally Teslaing someone in the process of trying to figure out what the damn thing does, set to happen in this thread.
What is returned: Some Tesla-aiming skillz (canonically it's different from simply firing a gun) - not where she used to be, but enough to cut down the likelihood of accidentally hitting someone again - and, if I can, the fact that it's called a Tesla. Nothing else about it, and no charger.
