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.

Hey! We find this acceptable under two conditions. One, her requested Echo will not give her the power to steelpush. The initial Echo to give back Allomancy will not return anything truly useful -- only the potential to use metals.

Second, each metal will require its own Echo, and these Echoes will be the knowledge of what each metal does/how to use it. In addition, we'll require that each initial metal echo return a weak form of the power, with a second Echo granting full power.

Is this acceptable/what you had in mind?

[doomedtheworld]

The way I was going to play it was that the Echo would return her Allomancy powers and since a previous one gave her knowledge of what steel does and another thread had her acquire some that would be the one she'd use first. It would be in a seriously depowered form with very limited range and only the ability to push on one object at a time that she's focused on. Less action movie ninja-star-throwing and more ragdolling around the street like a putz while monsters try to eat her face. Also, since she has to almost die for this Echo to work I don't plan on making it easy on her. Would that be alright with you guys?

The rest is pretty much exactly how I was going to play it. This Echo would just mean she could potentially use the metal but she'll still have to Echo back the knowledge of others before the power is available. Also totally cool with needing a second Echo to reach full power. I'm just hoping to streamline the whole thing a bit more so I don't need to devote over twenty Echoes just to get her abilities back at all.

[testsonseashells]

Player: G-man
Character: Mordin Solus
Reason for Echo: Vermini attack on the Clinic
What is returned: 22nd century genetics knowledge, and by extension to ability to treat and/or cure several currently problematic diseases of modern times

[ex_elude798]

Player: Ren
Character: Suzaku Kururugi
Reason for Echo: Hunting down his stray cat. As with the festival episode in Code Geass R2, Suzaku has to chase the cat down and close distance with his speed to do so. Just to be right on the nose, the cat's got a feather in its mouth (much as in canon, his cat Arthur had taken a quill pen).
What is returned: His unnatural speed, but not the insane coordination.

Hope I did this right.

[seriallylucky]

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: Mystery Event: Mrs. Vandenberg got Vermidi'd
What is returned: the Sol Blade, in a lesser form - I'm thinking something along the lines of the early-game Long Sword: completely nonmagical and without large attack boosts, but still a serviceable sword

Edit1: In case it makes a difference, I do intend for his next few Echoes to be basically useless in the short term. Some memories, a bit of personality stuff, some modifications to the Djinni-turned-cat.

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson/Aqua
Reason for Echo: Fred's mother, Catherine, being possessed (this thread here
What is returned: Memory of Terra getting possessed by Xehanort's soul and her battle with him see this wiki entry. She'll also get Terra's name. That being said, this particular memory will be very vague. While she'll know that her friend is possessed, and probably be able to surmise that it's by the creepy old guy, she'll have no idea how they got into that situation, just that it happened.

Reason for Echo: Encountering Plot. Same thread, but when she actually encounters the possessed woman (Blue said this was okay?)
What is returned: Use of the Barrier spell. This is the purely defensive version that just guards briefly against attacks.

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

Assuming that this is the potential ability to treat especially problematic diseases by working through the genetics knowledge gained, Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[flamberge]

Player: Olga
Character: Kratos Aurion/Karl Aurion/Richard Locke
Reason for Echo: Seeing Colette's cruxis crystal
What is returned: Knowledge about exspheres & cruxis crystals and how they work and bad effects they can have and the like. He will not remember how they're made.

[ex_elude798]

Player: Ren
Character: Suzaku Kururugi
Reason for Echo: Participation in the Mystery Event being carried out here.
What is returned: The memory of a Geass-influenced Euphemia being shot down. Being controlled by a power that compelled her to lash out at people against her will, Euphemia was fatally wounded just before Suzaku could save her. This bears some similarity to Fred's mother becoming a monster and attacking.


Bit soon after his last one, but since he's involved in that event, I hope it's alright.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - seeing John's eyes turn black in a network video post
What is returned: The canon memory of seeing another person's eyes turn black, along with the term 'Geier' and the feeling that the two are related.


(Hopefully this isn't too soon after his last one, and if it is no worries!)

[birdinthehand]

Player: Lampdevil
Character: Ankh (Takayuki Izumi)
Reason for Echo: Seeing someone turn into a giant mantis-bug-thing on the network here.
What is returned: A canon memory of being attacked by a mantis-like monster, and of defending some scruffy-looking hobo-guy from it before getting badly beaten up, himself. The mantis monster also calls him by the name "Ankh".

[depolarized]

Player: Myth
Character: Riku
Reason for Echo: Canon Reoccurence: Watching Van float on his back
AND GiggleScorpion Event .

In Kingdom Hearts (1), Riku creates shadow heartless that look and behave like Sora, one behavior of which is that the shadow Sora float on their backs in mid-air. Being Sora-shaped, clothed in black/black hair and floating on his back in mid-air, it would potentially remind Riku of that time.

What is returned:
The memory of that Heartless on Captain Hook's ship, a comatose girl (Kairi) and Hook himself. --Most likely in Hook's Cabin.

For the Scorpion event, a memory of stabbing Maleficent in the back, unlocking her heart while being drunk on power/possibly possessed by Ansem. Quite disturbing. >.> Thiiiis should ideally give him a clue on what the keyblade can do/is for.

[amberhearted]

Retconing (the approved Echo has not been used in play yet):
Reason for Echo: Same!
What is returned: Altered saliva: it possesses anti-coagulant and anti-vasoconstriction compounds that make feeding easier by prolonging the bleeding time. Related because that is a property present when he fed on Ravi.
