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: Aave
Character: Alan again whoops
Reason for Echo: Seeing Walter telling Ellie about fighting a bearded giant

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

Player: Levonsong
Character: Thomas Akagi
Reason for Echo: Anne talking to Thomas about a car trying to fight a 50 meter tall giant.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence, namely seeing this.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1.
What is returned: Knowledge of a criminal calling himself the Shadow-Thief, who had the ability to turn into a shadow. He won't remember much beyond the name Shadow-Thief, what the guy looked like, and the powers.

Player: Aki
Character: The Psionic
Reason for Echo: Sollux linking him code from Alternia
Type and tier: Memory
What is returned: computing at the speed of light as the Condesce's Helmsman.

Player: Aki
Character: The Psionic
Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Tier 2 Memory/Physical Change
What is returned: Remembering the execution of the signless and specifically using his eye lazers. Full return of his psionic abilities and eye color change.

The first Echo is approved!

In regards to the second, however, it'd be best to treat the change of his eyes, increase in his psionic ability, and memory of the Signless's execution as three separate effects - which two of the three would be preferable for the Echo?

Player: Airdra
Character: Mort Yokugawa/Dr. Maki
Reason for Echo: He'll be visiting the Towers
Type and tier: Item and Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: Mort will regain a single Cell Medal and Dr. Maki's Greeed ability to create Yummies from items representing an end desire. For example, at one point, Maki uses the candle he used to murder his sister to create one. Something like, say, a tennis racket that belonged to someone who had given up on the sport or an engagement ring from a broken-off engagement would have the same effect. In order to create a Yummy, a Cell Medal must be used.

Because he only possesses two Core Medals, the Yummy won't be functioning at 100%. It won't, for example, generate even more Cell Medals like a normal Yummy, and it will be much weaker physically. Basically, this is designed to get him one really good moment of "AW CRAP I MADE A MONSTER, HALP." Future Echoes would get him more of his Cores back and would allow him to create stronger Yummies as long as he had Cell Medals...not that he would want to do this without some serious convincing or some personality Echoes.

Reason for Echo: This conversation with Bakura.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of a time where he was in his lab, talking to his doll about wanting to catch a glimpse of something called the Medal Vessel...and then a young man he will remember as being not normal somehow enters the office and offers to make a deal with him in order to bring this about.

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

Player: Gail (I'm coming back from hiatus this weekend, once this has been approved or not!)
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: Lyall will be following that buzzing as soon as he's back in town to the towers.
Type and tier: Physical, tier two.
What is returned: His supernatural sense of hearing, and I'd like it to come back all at once, hence the tier two. This will be much more of a hindrance than a help for several weeks, if not a couple months, as he'll hardly be able to sort anything out and everything will be extra loud. Every person passing in the hall sounds like they're pounding on his skull :3

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

Player: Eric
Character: Marisa Kirisame
Reason for Echo: The same argument that led to Sara getting her first echo
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of battling Mamizou in a spell card duel.

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: So this happened when Hajime's already uneasy with the fact that he pretty much requires the card to remain a human now.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of his sealing Human Undead (who, to his confusion at the time, was sealed willingly) into a Rouse Card, using the card to assume Human Undead's form, and experiencing a sudden and confusing distaste for his original Joker form.

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

Player: Prof
Character: Chris Okabe
Reason for Echo: Trash-talking Bakura before a game of Magic: The Gathering
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Recollection of the elaborate buildup to Rintarou's RaiNet AccessBattlers duel with Faris, but no actual recollection of the game itself, which was 5 minutes long and ended with Rintarou's brutal defeat.

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

THIS IS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: Isaac freaking out about his past self being sent to Alcatraz, particularly the 'like... worse than Hitler' note on the photo. The Warehouse has a contingency plan for 'worse than Hitler.'
Type and tier: memory; I think this'll work out as a tier 1 but I'm willing to upgrade it if I have to.
What is returned: That statue of HG Wells she's seen in a couple other memories? It's in the bronze sector, which is where the Warehouse keeps people who'd turn out 'worse than Hitler' if allowed the chance. Becky'll remember that (and probably fill in for herself that she wasn't looking at a statue).

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

Player: Alex
Character: Vyse/Vaughn Inglebard
Reason for Echo: Seeing the crystal in Roy's hand
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: The memory of seeing a crystal just like it coming out of a blonde girl's chest, nearly killing her in the process

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

Player: Myf
Character: Reilanin Bainbridge
Reason for Echo: Snooping around the Tuning Towers (if still allowed! I totally understand if not, I dropped the ball on this one ooops)
Type and tier: Plot echo, Tier 2
What is returned: Her ability to heal- it is not instantaneous, but does speed up the process of healing. Poisons and toxins are cycled out of her system faster (so things like tranquilizers are at best half as effective), cuts heal in minutes, breaks heal anywhere from days to a week or two, and getting sick is a thing of the past. But it speeds up her metabolism, too, so she needs to eat more and runs warmer than before, so she seems almost always on the verge of being feverish if one were to, say, check her forehead.

However, this brings along with it her old weaknesses as well- mistletoe, ash trees, wolfsbane and silver. Any harm done to her by these items do not heal, or at least do not heal well.

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

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Hajime explaining about the human undead letting himself be sealed.
Type and tier: 1, Memory
What is returned: Memory of the near end of Monster World, where Bakura Ryou tricked Yami Bakura into sealing him into the dice so that he could self destruct and make YB lose the game. [Basically these two pages.]

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

Player: Awe
Character: Miranda Atmiller/Mir
Reason for Echo: Going to Tuning Towers, albeit having Suzaku along was an accident from her perspective
Type and tier: Object - tier 1
What is returned: An SH server with enough capacity to store one Reyvateil's mind. Echoing the entire Tower of Ar Tonelico where the servers are kept is pretty impossible, since it's both really huge and also most of a different character's body. So I hope this will work? Anyway, she can try to access the server but it won't work, although for now the server is empty.

(Once she gets her full Reyvateil body back, the server will immediately upload her own mind onto it.)

Reason for Echo: Hearing Pierce/Clear's calming voice
Type and tier: Memory/Knowledge - tier 1
What is returned: The Hymn EXEC_HARMONIUS/. It was mentioned in her app, but it's a song that suppresses negative emotions.

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

Player: Joc
Character: Xander Jarle / Sandrath
Reason for Echo: Seeing Anthony's current physical state.
Type and tier: 1, mental / personality
What is returned: Sandrath's morbid thought process.

For certainty's sake before a formal stamp, would zombification/entities with similarly death-ly appearances and/or natures have been a thing that Sandrath had a familiarity with (and, given the mentioned morbid bent, had not been fazed by)?

Player: Mawi

Character: Azure / Mezool
Reason for Echo: it's a batta can!
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory!
What is returned: A short memory of Eiji using the can! She can't see his face, but dat fashion sense... Also, she gets the feeling that she's about to attack him? And that it's bad that he's using it to communicate? Oh noooo

Character: Skyler / Sora
Reason for Echo: ZOMBIE ON THE NETWORK I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT SORA'S SEEN ZOMBIES BEFORE thanks pirates of the caribbean
Type and tier: Tier 1, item!
What is returned: The keychain from this keyblade! He got this keychain after beating Barbossa in Port Royal.

You'd best start believing in ghost stories, boy.

Which is to say, Echoes approved - please add relevant data to your info posts!

Player: Red
Character: Ironhide
Reason for Echo: Buzzing sounds at the towers intensifying.
Type and tier: 1 / Memory
What is returned: The memory of Optimus Prime. Not in full. Only that he served a commander by that name. That he was possibly the most important thing on the planet, the most vital part of the cause. That he would do anything for him. The loyalty to him. Basically the feelings and name associated with Optimus but no images or specific events.

Reason for Echo: Seeing Ratchet's physical echo (the arm) in this thread, after the buzzing intensifies.
Type and tier: 1 / memory
What is returned:
"I WAS A ROBOT." Yep. Seeing Ratchet's arm triggers the memory flash of his old body. He'll remember being huge and made of metal and guns.

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Mort Yokugawa/Dr. Maki
Reason for Echo: This conversation with Azure is a canon recurrence like woah.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of having monstrous purple hands and a sense that they functioned in much the same way as the hand he's seeing now.

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

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence - falling out of a tree at night whilst trying to grab a feline escapee paralleling falling out of a tree at night whilst trying to get the hang of this bat/human transforming shtick for hunting.
Type and tier: Ability, tier 1.
What is returned: His ability to turn into a bat. Whereas it was instinctive for him to do so in his past life, it will not be instinctive for him now, and there will be a transition period for him to get it under control.

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

Player: Zackary
Character: Luke/Link
Reason for Echo: Are lights in the sky still a working trigger? If not then he will be biking around the tower curiously.
Type and tier: Item, Tier 1
What is returned: The Kokiri sword and shield. If that's too much then just the sword.

Edited 2013-10-06 22:54 (UTC)

Echo approved to grant the Kokiri Sword at the Towers - please update your info post accordingly!

Player: Nerdman
Character: Isaac Dian
Reason for Echo: This thread 'ere!
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Isaac gets to remember that he stole the Genoard fortune. All he really remembers is taking various valuable items such as money. He does not recall Miria's involvement.

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

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Bakura set off yet another one here
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of another man telling him, "I don't care about your true form. To me, you're Hajime Aikawa." He'll remember the other guy's voice and the emotions it stirred, but not his face or name.

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

Player: Eric
Character: Sam Middleton (Sadao Maou)
Reason for Echo: Hanging out by the Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Tier 1 physical change
What is returned: His eyes have regained their original red color and slit pupils.

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

Player:Fran
Character:Bakura
Reason for Echo: Talking with Ez about bringing home artifacts from digs and how you don't get to just bring things back like that.
Type and tier: Memory/1
What is returned: the realization that Bakura Ryou's father did indeed just bring back a priceless ancient Egyptian artifact home. And it was the Sennen Ring. [Note: This is only directly stated in anime canon, but it makes sense in manga canon as well.]

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

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Seeing Ellie using 3DMG properly (aka her cool belt-wire stunt show)
Type and tier: Ability(ish), tier 1
What is returned: Slow loss of appetite (and subsequent need for food), but it won't start to actually bother him until around this weekend. It's a becoming-a-titan thing.

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Actually trying on 3DMG and pulling off those mad stunts with them like woaaah so cool wow.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of he and Bertholdt talking with Eren about their pasts, back when Eren was asking for advice on how to balance himself on his 3DMG. Ryan will remember a distinct twinge of fear from hearing how much Eren wanted to kill all the titans.
