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.

[toobig]

Player: nor
Character: Bertholdt Fubar
Reason for Echo: Annie/Ellie telling Bertholdt what the Colossal Titan looked like.
Type and tier: Physical, Tier 1
What is returned: Bertholdt's skin will continue to tighten and stretch over him, before beginning to peel where it's super thin, like his eyes and elbows and etc. It'll be like a sunburn peel at first, but will steadily grow to something like this. (NSFW link.)

Player: nor
Character: Gavin Davis

Type and tier: Physical, Tier 1

[two_stones]

Player: Prof
Character: Mamizou Futatsuiwa / Sara Kirisame
Reason for Echo: Locking eyes with a raccoon rooting around in the trash near her apartment complex.
Type and tier: Physical change, Tier 1.
What is returned: Tanuki ears.

[theearth]

Apologies for the delay - however, to clarify, would the trigger in Sara's encounter with a raccoon be in any similar close encounter with one that she had as Mamizou, or simply in coming as close as she is to an animal Mamizou was familiar with for presumably the first time?

[indy_wannabe]

Player: Void
Character: Ez Jordan
Reason for Echo: Triggered by this thread
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Another reminiscent conversation of destiny and what can be done with one's life that they had in the past and memory of Luci's original name, Luxanna.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura Ryou
Reason for Echo: Talking about plundering tombs with Ez
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: Knowledge that Thief King Bakura plundered the hell out of the tomb of the pharaoh who had been in charge when the slaughter of Kul Elna was ordered, including hauling the mummy out and depositing it on the throne room floor in front of his son, the current pharaoh.


and another:

Reason for Echo: Talking about souls in dolls with Mort
Type and tier: 1/ Memory
What is returned: Yami Bakura's memories sealing people's souls into Monster World figures [If only one specific is needed, we'll go with the gym teacher incident with the vague feeling that this has happened many many times before.]

[theearth]

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

[vanisland]

Player: Awe
Character: Miranda Atmiller
Reason for Echo: People suddenly going unresponsive, if that's still happening sometimes - let's assume it happened while she was teaching (Did I mention she was teaching? Some schools let grad students do that sometimes).
Type and tier: Memory - Tier 1
What is returned: Walking through Pastalia during the effect of EXEC_HIBERNATION/. At that point, everyone in town has had their mind detached from their body (except, thankfully, the tech at the Dive Shop). The name of the city and the word Hibernation are tossed around by some of the Vanguard members of the party in conversation (although such conversation doesn't happen on screen).

[entertainaplanb]

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: This thread after the bronze-sector Echo hit, in which Becky is trying to figure out (a) why anyone ever thought bronzing was a good idea and (b) why HG Wells would have been subjected to it.
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: A little more dialogue from this scene - the line Becky missed the first time around was Jack saying he wouldn't ever understand what Helena was thinking, and after the 'powerful woman ahead of her time' bit he says she must have done something to deserve it.

[alderaanda]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Nat/Tash
Reason for Echo: Seeing the pink lights. I know that's before she was apped, but she was in the city and it may have provoked her starting to network-lurk and archive trawl. Is this okay? If not, going to the towers.
Type and tier: Item. Tier 1.
What is returned: A small red crystal on a necklace chain. It's charged with the Force... which basically just means if a psychic character holds it they find it appealing and it glows in the dark faintly.

Reason for Echo: Seeing people all zoned out and suggestible - not being themselves. People being brainwashed, possessed, or mind controlled is a Thing in Star Wars; Tash has encountered possessed people and knew she had the power to free them but not the knowledge of how. Later she did pick up that knowledge/ability.
Type and tier: Memory or knowledge. Tier 1.
What is returned: The sudden thought that if someone is forced to not be themself she can fix it, she just doesn't know how. ...Does not come with the ability to do so.

Reason for Echo: General archive-trawling and picking up on the justified paranoia and alarm re: authority figures and showing powers, strange new items, etc. For more than twenty years the Empire had various policies and branches devoted to hunting down fugitive Jedi and people using Jedi powers. By the time Tash was active and about in the galaxy most people in either category were justifiably paranoid and careful.
Type and tier: Mental. Tier 1.
What is returned: Very strong deja-vu about this situation, like an absolute certainty that she's been in similar straits.

Reason for Echo: Mamoru's post, specifically the part about brains in jars and the comment thread about transferring them into other bodies. As it happens, Tash has been a brain in a jar, and part of a scheme involving transfer!
Type and tier: Physical alteration. Tier 1.
What is returned: The scars on her scalp left by that whole escapade.

Reason for Echo: Watching Emmanuel's footage of the mines trap. Tash once ventured into a mine in space with a number of people so that one of them could try and solve a mystery. It was a trap and the exit collapsed, sealing them in.
Type and tier: Item. Tier...2.
What is returned: The spacesuit Tash was wearing during that escapade. It's got a twenty-five hour air supply and extremely heavy tractor-beam bearing boots. Switched to "pull" they might let her walk up a wall and stand on a ceiling with great effort and some noise. Switched to "push" and she hovers up to several feet above the ground and can walk slowly. They'd be much more useful in lower gravity.

...that's all the archive trawl echoes she's getting, though. Even over the course of some days there's enough that it loses the impact she'd get reading a bit at a time.

[theearth]

Apologies for the inconvenience - however, a Tier 1 Echo would be preferable for the final Echo trigger, as while a solid "reminder" of the experience described from her life as Tash the footage would be, being involved of something of the kind firsthand would likely be so much more vividly and spark a stronger reaction for a Tier 2.

All other Echoes in the meanwhile approved - please add relevant data to your info post!

[schild]

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Seeing Alan unwittingly create a partial titan at Ryan's barbecue. (which will be happening over the weekend)
Type and tier: Physical, tier 2
What is returned: MAD SPOILERS! The skin on Ryan's jaw and cheek will harden and crack into a jagged line, similar to this. Underneath the solid flesh he'll still be very... fleshy. Somehow this won't hurt, either, but it certainly won't heal. Much like a titan, he will be able to unhinge his jaw and open it as far as the crack goes (holy shit.) The second part will happen (very) slowly over time; parts of Ryan's skin will harden, becoming plated and armor-like, while the rest of his unarmored skin peels off. Eventually, (and I would be requesting another echo for this last part down the line,) Ryan will look like the Armored Titan. But not yet!!

If this is too much, I can tone it down so only his arms/upper body get the armored treatment, etc. Let me know!

[shortspoken]

Player: Louise
Character: Annabellie
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence - Alan doing his partial titan thing (later this weekend) and scaring the bejeezus out of everyone.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of witnessing the explosion created by Eren's first titan transformation at Trost. While she'll know this was incredibly significant for reasons beyond "omfg new titan shifter MAYBE WE CAN BE BROS," she won't know anything more specific.

Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: Doing his accidental partial titan thing at the barbecue this weekend

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Visiting the Towers
Type and tier: Item, Tier 1
What is returned: A shirt he wore when he was amnesiac and accidentally substituting for an irresponsible takoyaki seller. He'll have it completely without context, and it will be a 100% useless Hawaiian shirt that is going to show up all awkward-like in public.

[theearth]

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

[truthandlogic]

Player: Nadia
Character: Miles Edgeworth
Reason for Echo: Having a run in with the monster Mort created, a canon recurrence since he's dealt with cases involving "monsters" and like he did in canon, he tried to come up with an explanation for it because monsters don't exist.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: A memory of the initial investigation of the final case of AAI2. He'll remember the scene and Lotta Hart and Kay being convinced the victim was trampled by a monster and his rather futile attempts to convince the two of them that monsters don't exist.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - Shooting at a monster in this thread!
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: The memory of the first time he shot a monster type person in canon! No context of what was going on or why he was shooting at him, just the shooting and killing bit

[testsonseashells]

Player: g-man
Character: Mordin Solus
Reason for Echo: Suffering a near-lethal situation as a result of a fire in a high place, mirroring the actually lethal situation as a result of a fire in a high place about a third of the way through Mass Effect 3.
What is returned: the memory of the planet Tuchanka (its physical appearance and knowledge of the various native species that inhabit it) and knowledge of the krogan, the native sapient species, including their physiology and history up until before the events of the games.



Character: Roxy Kurosawa
Reason for Echo: Being reminded of the full title of Her Imperious Condescension by Octavia
Type and tier: Tier One memory
What is returned: the memory of the sequence of events from this page to this one, during her imprisonment by said Imperious Condescension.

[theearth]

The second Echo is approved for addition to Roxy's info post!

To clarify on Mordin's, meanwhile, will it be granting knowledge of Tuchanka and the krogan themselves as a Tier 2 Echo?

[soulsborderline]

Player: Nerdo
Character: Asuka Langley Soryu
Reason for Echo: Embarrassing herself in a fight with a monster.
Type and tier: Level 1, Memory
What is returned: A very brief memory of fighting Bardiel, or as she'll describe it a big hulking black human thing with extenso-arms, at sunset. This was the first of a few times in canon Asuka was dispatched in one hit by charging an enemy she wasn't prepared to fight.

[healspec]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna

What is returned: He will remember the classroom lecture where his Templar instructor covered the rules about holy magic being painful for evil creatures and wicked people.
