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.

[recollection]

Player: Bun
Character: Thalassa Sheridan (Namine)
Reason for Echo: Learning of Kairi's name (here)
What is returned: The feeling that Kairi is important to her and to many others. That might evolve into her trying to protect the other girl if it came down to it.

[skycutter]

Player: Trap
Character: Miles/Hope
Reason for Echo: This. It's a canon reoccurence!
What is returned: This conversation:

Miles' voice: You can't leave me here! You've got to take me with you!

Some lady: Enough! The whole world is against us! I can barely keep myself alive. Let alone some helpless kid! I don't have time to baby you. You want to get tough? Do it on your own!

Just the voices, no faces, no images. Because hahaha, Kallie said she doesn't have time to baby him after a thread full of tension, just like the buildup to the conversation Miles would remember-- as it's very early in the game, Lightning didn't quite like Hope, even if Hope was trying his darnest to prove himself. And in the thread, Miles was trying to prove himself capable of doing something other people couldn't and Kallie brushed him off.

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie / Lightning
Reason for Echo: Possibly chasing down / capturing a vermini-infected critter in this log. If they don't directly interact with it, then obviously this one won't be happening.
What is returned: Suddenly, best clothes ever. (Her outfit from the first game.)

Reason for Echo: Declaring she doesn't have the time to baby people who aren't going to acknowledge that all of this is dangerous; basically having this conversation again, only in context of the Echoes/network/etc problem rather than being a hunted l'Cie and stuff. Also see: the above request.
What is returned: The ability to manifest her Eidolith crystal from her chest... plus the whole summoning circle light show for this first time and then if she ever happens to break the crystal for whatever reason. :'D No Odin tho.

Revision request!

Actually, I was wondering if I could make a change to this Echo. I was mulling over how to get Vanessa's powers to show up and I realized there was an obvious and much quicker way to do it as opposed to Echoing back a power and then Echoing back which metal fuels it or vice versa.

In Mistborn an Allomancer first gains their powers by "snapping." Basically what happens is when they're put into lethal danger their Allomancy gene or whatever triggers and they gain their powers. I can't really canon-parallel this since Vin almost died so many times growing up even she doesn't know when she actually snapped but I was thinking the fungus creature event could toss her into a nearly fatal situation and she'd Echo back her snap, triggering all her powers in one go albeit still at a limited level.

This wouldn't change much since she still has to Echo back the memories of what these powers are and what metal fuels them, and she'd still only use steel for awhile since that's the only one she knows at the moment. All it would really do is remove a step in how I was originally going to have her recover her powers and free up a bunch of Echoes for memories, character traits and skill/power boosts.

Thanks!

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson / Aqua
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel -- Maya runs to catch Siegfried from his fall in this log, which parallels Aqua catching Ventus over here in this video. See also the in-game version here.
What is returned: Maya will remember that moment of the battle, starting from when Ven's helmet breaks up through when the great glowing heart-moon appears. She'll also remember Ven's name.

sorry this and the log is late

[happybirthdaytoyou]

Player: Bii
Character: Eugene Yokugawa
Reason for Echo: Plotty thing with the firebugs!
What is returned: The memory of the story of the Great King OOO, along with the feeling that this story is very important to him personally.

[somesayinfire]

Player: Colin
Character: Brooke Reynolds (Terra)
Reason for Echo: Giant purple scorpion attack!
What is returned: A sudden, persistent sense of self-doubt, as though she's no longer convinced she can keep doing things she's done for years. (In terms of Terra, this is the same feeling that had always held her back from really cutting loose with her powers.)

[gogoghostpowers]

Player: Lisa
Character: Danny Fenton
Reason for Echo: also a giant purple scorpion attack, this thing is getting around
What is returned: Full intangibility to expand on the very limited version of it that he has right now. This entails full-body intangibility (as well as turning other people or items intangible through touch) and the power of possessing others by entering their bodies.

This is pretty powerful, and since his first/last Echo also had to do with this and it hasn't been all that long, I'm probably going to have to ask you to choose something else.

[theearth]

Both Echoes approved - and ye know what to do!

[gogoghostpowers]

Alrighty, let's go with his unusually good aim, then! It only applies to things that don't go in an arc, i.e. he's great at archery and getting people out in dodgeball, but is still pretty atrocious at shooting hoops in basketball or throwing notes into the trash.

[italktofish]

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: Helping Ax/Alex out with an armored fish-thing in the park and thinking he should be able to speak with it because it's still somewhat of a fish.
What is returned: The memory of himself saying "A fish is a fish, even if it's a bug," to someone else while looking at a pair of gigantic silverfish (actually normal-sized silverfish; he was shrunk at the time and will not remember that). This will also give him the knowledge that he can use his ability to talk to fish to communicate with silverfish.

[allinvein]

Player: Azi
Character: John Mitchell
Reason for Echo: Possibly getting to chase/catch a vermini-critter in this thread with Kallie. The log's still on-going, so if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen!
What is returned: He will be able to make his pupils dilate and give him creepy black eyes like so! At the start, John won't know how to trigger the manifestation and will have pretty lousy control over his eyes changing as he learns how to manage it through trial and error.

[wirsinddiejager]

Player: Aave
Character: Alan Hunter
Reason for Echo: Seeing Shiro's regeneration.
What is returned: A memory of seeing his own hands and feet missing with copious amounts of steam coming from the wounds and knowing that his limbs are growing back. He won't have any context for how he got injured or how he knows he can regenerate.

[pitch_slap]

Player: Anne
Character: Hikari Lucia MacIsaac (Rukia)
Reason for Echo: Attack by a vermini, which she has no clue how to defend against and ends up getting chewed on a little. This is both interaction with the plot, and has great similarity to the first fight in canon, where she gets chewed on by a monster.
What is returned:
Since this Echo is both related to a canon occurrence and the plot, I would like it if two things (both fragments of their preincarnation whole) could be returned? First, a sword (that the character will have no idea how to use) and a memory of stabbing Ichigo with said sword, with no idea who he is, why she's stabbing him, etc.

If that won't work out, of course, let me know, but I do like the fragmentary nature of it and the synergy between the blade and what her preincarnation used it for.
