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.

[twopercent]

Player: Skai
Character: Jack
Reason for Echo: Werewolf hunt
What is returned: Dumb acrobatic fighting ability (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzLQMO0W9U8#t=200 , minus things like the sword and holding things with his ninja high heels obviously. Watch fight scene to the end for bonus vaguely homoerotic content)

[theearth]

Approved! Feel free to employ that ability in... other venues, as well...

Please remember to update your info post.

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: Seeing a werewolf and fighting one reminds him of Wargs.
What is returned: Memories of fighting Wargs up in the North.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Getting a bit of instruction in using a weapon courtesy of Capt. Mass - as approved for handwaving but assuming to happen here!
What is returned: A first item Echo in the form of a scramasax (short sword), please!

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[iaijutsu]

Player: Sam
Character: Hajime Saitou
Reason for Echo: Casval mentioned, when discussing weapons for the hunt, giving him whatever sharp object he could dig up.
What is returned: Assuming whatever sharp object could include swords, I'd like to get his iaijutsu skill back (it's a form of swordsmanship that focuses on the quick draw, basically).

Not in a huge rush to get all his shiny powers, but he's zero combat skills presently, so I would like him to have enough to not be murdered every time there's a hunt going on, which this + having gotten his old speed/reflexes back already would pretty well cover.

[theearth]

No problem. Echo approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[icy_heavens]

Player: Misty
Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Reason for Echo: Touching a sword in Casval's arsenal of weapons at the meet-up for werewolf hunting.
What is returned: Some of his old swordsmanship skills. Not expert level yet, but enough that he can defend himself halfway decently.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Fighting werewolves! He's just going to start yelling in the middle of battle, and...
What is returned: His ability to speak and understand the Undead language. This is functionally useless, because what good is a language no one else can understand, even if most of it is very suited for describing battle?

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[secondcomingof]

Player: Deus
Character: Full Frontal (Casval Mass)
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans!
What is returned: The beginnings of his Cyber Newtype ability (basically similar to what Banagher got, but on a lower scale).

[theearth]

Authorized!

Kindly remember to renovate your info post.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: First interaction with Casval face to face, with his accent and appearance being so very very much like a character in his canon...
What is returned: A memory of standing in front of a bunch of soldiers, in the buff, with Gamma werewolf Major Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings (yes, that is actually his name) and wearily introducing him to his new Alpha female, Alexia Maccon. There is the sense with it that they just had an altercation of some sort, and the knowledge that Channing has been: 1, a good man to have at his back, 2, extremely annoying, and 3, slightly dangerous, all at the same time.

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: Getting bitten by a werewolf (or if that can't happen, at least involvement with one)
What is returned: Another little sliver of his healing ability: just enough to knit bones back together. No cuts, bruises, internal bleeding-- just bones. And it will not be as fast as in canon, taking a full day for a bad break instead of mere minutes.


... and I won't be asking for any more echoes for the rest of April, I swear it :P I debated this hard all day, and I just don't think I can get Casval and Lyall in the same physical place again for the Channing one, and I'd planned on the second for the werewolf plot ever since it was announced... ^^'

[theearth]

In the interest of time, I'll approve both of these, but no more power buffs for awhile, please. Lyall's gotten more than a few at this point.

[northless]

Player: Effy
Character: Robb Stark
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans! More specifically handling a sword.
What is returned: Basic swordsmanship skills.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[withregret]

Player: Kero.
Character: Legretta the Quick.
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans!
What is returned: Improved skill with guns.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

LAST ECHO REQUESTS FOR A WHILE

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: um everything in that D&D game is basically his life -- but specifically, this time, it's the idea of noble, immortal Elves.
What is returned: The ability to read, speak, and write Elvish languages.

Reason for Echo: Participation in the werewolf hunt!
What is returned: The first part of his fighting skills! He'll be a moderately good fighter, above average but nothing special.

Also, a question. Will you ping me when it's OK for me to start getting echoes again, or should I just ask you, "hey, I think this would ping him, is the cap off yet?"

[theearth]

Sorry, not sure how I missed this one! Both Echoes are approved.

As for the Echoes cap, it's more of a soft one at this point in time; use your best judgment is the current rule, though we'll probably be elaborating more on this soon.

If you really need an estimate, I'd say maybe a week and a half to two. Not too long, but enough so that other characters have time to catch up.

[earnedmystripes]

Player: Batty
Character: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans, specifically jumping in to protect someone else
What is returned: The burn scar on his shoulder from taking Lunatic's firebolt for Barnaby

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[kingside]

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia | Brendan Blake
Reason for Echo: Statue touching here (errr, soon)
What is returned: Pretty purple eyes. Because pretty purple eyes. Entirely useless except for looking pretty and probably giving Brendan a minor heart attack when he figures it out.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[redelivers]

Player: Liv
Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Saitou's about to attack him with a sword in the werewolf hunting log.
What is returned: His werevampzombie fighting reflexes, because or else he's definitely going to lose that arm. This would be the first bit of his past life powers he'd be regaining.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky
Reason for Echo: Gettin mad 'bout Casval's shitty leadership :V
What is returned: Chris has never been tolerant of incompetent leadership, but now she's going to be even less so, and, beyond that way less tolerant of other people leading in general. She's going to start jumping at people and trying to let them put HER in charge.

fOOOOOLS

[theearth]

Since you would presumably be getting an Echo from the werewolf interaction as well, I'm going to have to cap you at either this or the future one later in the thread. Three Echoes in one plot mission, especially two occurring very, very close together, is starting to push it.

[reckless_fire]

Player: Sylver
Character: Kenji Kobayashi/ Kazuma
Reason for Echo: Learning Kung Fu from Shen
What is returned: Basic fighting skill/muscle memory. Again, he'll feel this is all very familiar, but no specific memories of fighting.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[consiliarius]

Player: Rose
Character: Sanosuke Harada
Reason for Echo: Werewolf Hunting! And his fun fighty times in it that include wielding some debris in the vague form of a spear.
What is returned: His knowledge of spearmanship so he can actually fight like a professional in the future and not die.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

welp I finally get to use this icon

[northless]

Player: Effy
Character: Robb Stark
Reason for Echo: Une patching him up in her apartment post-werewolf fight, and then things just...explode. And not in the Michael Bay way.
What is returned: Jeyne Westerling...comforting him, back at the Crag.

And I still have no idea what's actually happening in it.

[theearth]

Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Stark?

Approved! Please remember to update your info post.

And as discussed, please mark and cut your explosions appropriately so some of us don't get accidentally Not Michael Bay'd at work.

[theearth]

This reason is kind of vague, in that Echoes of this nature should really only be caused by very specific similarities to the characters' past life. Subtly helping people is kind of mundane, and probably not enough unless it's especially reminiscent of a particular instance. Likewise, what is returned should also be directly related to the cause, but... I'm not really seeing the connection here as is.

[kingside]

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia | Brendan Blake
Reason for Echo: Buying and putting in a pair of blue contacts to cover up his now ~*purple*~ eyes, and/or possibly also removing them BECAUSE
What is returned: The memory of removing his contacts with unnecessary drama and commanding a room full of people in funky uniforms to BECOME HIS SLAVES. This memory includes his original name, a "Yes, Your Majesty," and an "All hail Lelouch!" but not really anything in the way of context.



Pretty please with sugar on top?

[theearth]

YES YOUR HIGHNESS

Echo approved, you know what to do.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alex
Reason for Echo: Touching the snake statue in the Dead District in Starcream's tear it down gathering. (Has not yet happened but will.)
What is returned: Regenerative healing, 1/2 of its potential.

[theearth]

Given Alex's relative newness to the game, the relative strength of his abilities (even at half-power), and that this would be his first in-game Echo, I'll have to request this either be toned down further or saved for a later date. Or some other suggestion you can think of. I'm all ears on that front.

[kingside]

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia | Brendan Blake
Reason for Echo: The conversation with Casval here.
What is returned: PARTIAL GEASS + memory of Geassing a bunch of soldiers to kill themselves. Basically, what Casval is saying parallels a lot of the mini monologue Lelouch gives at the end of the very first episode of the series, so he'd remember ordering them to kill themselves + regain some of his Geass. In this case, Geass would just be a strong suggestion rather than an absolute order, so anyone given it would have the opportunity to resist if the character/mun were so inclined.

[theearth]

Echo approved, with the limitations as discussed. One of the mods I'm sure you can guess which will work with you regarding the development of the power over time, just so it doesn't run out of bounds too quickly.

Otherwise, get suggestin'. I mean... if you wouldn't mind, Your Highness.

echoes x3

[redelivers]

I'M REALLY SORRY I don't mean to ask for so many at once but a lot of these are backdated because I'm horrible about filling out forms.

Player: Liv
Character: Hijikata Toshizou
Reason for Echo: Fought some werewolves and won(?)
What is returned: His blue Shinsengumi haori, which was the uniform of his old military group back in the day.

Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: Also fought some werewolves.
What is returned: A memory of helping Lelouch not die in some kind of pretty forest.

Character: Amaimon
Reason for Echo: WEREWOLVES.
What is returned: Could he possibly get his demon familiar back? Behemoth, pictured here lovingly gnawing on Mephisto's head, is a beach ball sized hobgoblin who mostly just follows Amaimon around like a slightly slow puppy. Slow as in stupid, it keeps up okay at a run.

[theearth]

All approved!

...but that last one's only approved if Behemoth tries to eat Haro at some point, because I find the idea hilarious. Update that info post!

[iaijutsu]

Player: Sam
Character: Hajime Saitou
Reason for Echo: werewolf huntan
What is returned: The blue Shinsengumi haori. No special properties, just meaningful clothing.

[theearth]

Approved! Start slashing in style, samurai, and update your info post.

[deathcough]

Player: Kalyn
Character: Souji Okita | Souji Sasaoki
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans
What is returned: the Shinsengumi haori, which was his old uniform.

[theearth]

Approved! Please update your info post.
