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.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Christobel Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: Encountering weird-ass fungi beasts in this log (forthcoming interation) is both A Plot Thing and parallels this one time Starscream encountered mutant half-plant robots
What is returned: 1. Starscream's name.
2. Starscream's ability to actually fight -- which is to say, not his fighting skills, but rather the ability to just go "Nah, fuck it" and shut off that part of your brain screaming at you to run away. Basically, Chris will become much, MUCH less prone to running and more prone to Starscream-ish moments of charging in screaming and THEN running.

[reapsthewind]

I think maybe I should clarify here a bit

Chris tends to run from fights immediately unless cornered, because frankly getting hurt scares her. So, like with the were-dog hunt way back with Casval, Chris ran immediately

Starscream in the same situation would be more likely to charge in guns blazing, realize after five shots that he's in way over his head, and THEN start running. This is a slight personality adjustment to get Chris to be more likely to do the latter than the former. It'll also make her much more likely to suggest violence as a solution rather than a last resort.

Player: Krystal
Character: Mamoru/Ichigo
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence -- realizing that he's being chased by monsters that can track him, and people around him got hurt because of it.
What is returned: His shihakusho -- the black shinigami pajamas.

Player: Krystal
Character: Mamoru/Ichigo
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence -- seeing Hikari/Lucia/Rukia covered in blood on her video post.
What is returned: A memory of Rukia, in the shinigami pajamas, sitting on a street, covered in blood, and the name "Rukia".

Player: Aave
Character: Alan Hunter
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence - martial arts lesson
What is returned: Badass martial arts skillz

[seriallylucky]

It occurs to me, knowing the ending I can ask for this before we get to the recurrence in-thread...

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: His mother getting transformed and then dying
In canon, Felix's parents and the man who later becomes his sister's father-in-law get turned into a three-headed dragon and forced to fight the party. Afterward they de-transform and everyone knows who and what they are, and as far as the party's healers can tell they're dying with no way to help. There is some reason to believe (though no way to be sure) that Felix knows he's facing his parents, and does it anyway in order to save the world. So what's recurring here is the experience of a) having a transformed parent and then b) that parent being, for all intents and purposes, dead.
What is returned: A determination to save the world, regardless of the cost. (This does not mean that he'll be particularly more effective; with only low-level skills and no significant information about the threat, there's not a lot he'll be able to do. But it will mean that he'll be ICly more interested in getting involved and Doing Something.)

[controlsdesire]

Player: Knight
Character: Shuji Kiyokumi / Eiji Hino
Reason for Echo: Hearing Eugene's story of the original OOO.
What is returned: The "seal" of the stone coffin aka the OOO driver with some details here. At the moment, Shuji only has two medals he can't control and one broken one, so he'll be unable to transform. However, he does have the memory of transforming from a previous Echo and knows how to use the belt, should he ever gain the medals to activate it. The belt doesn't even really look like a belt and won't react to him trying to use it (saving that for a future Echo), but he still knows what it does.

Both Echoes approved! Add to thy info post!

[theearth]

Before we pass formal approval, would this be mastery of a specific martial art, or more of an aptitude for getting a hang of all kinds?

It would just be the hand-to-hand combat skills Eren learned during his military training and wouldn't have effect on learning new stuff!

Thanks again!

[talktothedoll]

Player: Airdra
Character: Mort Yokugawa/Kiyoto Maki
Reason for Echo: Hearing Eugene's story of OOO, particularly the part concerning creation of the Greeed.
What is returned: Memory of seeing a complete purple set of Medals, then removing one from the set to create a new Greeed.

[lackinginfaith]

Player: Jisu
Character: Caren | Kari Acosta
Reason for Echo: Running into and exposing a magical girl mascot
What is returned: The memory (of the existence) of Hippo. Kari will just remember that there was a fat, stupid-looking talking blue penguin who sometimes seemed to forget that penguins shouldn't be able to talk and would strike up conversations with stunned civilians.

[mezool]

Player: Mawi
Character: Mezool
Reason for Echo: Same as the other OOO folks, Eugene's story about OOO.
What is returned: A memory of her own voice saying, "Gamel, help me! Take me away from here", with no visual or any other sense of memory attached. I can't remember the precise episode, but this is an event that does happen in canon.

[allinvein]

Player: Azi
Character: John Mitchell
Reason for Echo: Participation in this log, which happens to involve alien fungi and dogs and Vanessa! Said log is currently on-going.
What is returned: John will no longer be able to enter private residences uninvited. This isn't going to be something he notices immediately, but when he does run into a scenario that does call for him to go into a home, he instinctively gets the idea that he needs to get an invitation first. For the time being, if he does go against this feeling, John will remain very uncomfortable about being inside until he is granted permission to be there, but he won't be punished as his canon counterpart would just yet.

[birdinthehand]

Player: Lampdevil
Character: Takayuki Izumi (Ankh)
Reason for Echo: Hearing Eugene's story of the original OOO and the Greeed (here)
What is returned: A memory of being betrayed by the king in the story, and having something torn from him painfully.

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sasame (Pretear)/Sam Iwata

Reason for Echo: Sam got himself injured in the mine attempting to protect Tamara when the mine collapsed, triggering a canon-reoccurance echo.
What is returned: A memory of Sasame throwing himself in front of an attack meant for Takako and living juuuust long enough to affirm his feelings for her before breathing his last. He also remembers bits and pieces of Himeno and Hayate's conversation, including that he'd apparently hurt someone named Mawata badly enough that he felt he'd deserved his death.

Reason for Echo: Hearing the Sage's words.
What is returned: Some of his super-hearing powers. He's now able to hear all the noise nearby him, up to about a city block away. HOWEVER...he currently has no ability to focus his hearing on any particular noise, or distinguish the sounds enough from one another to have a clear mental image of what the sounds actually mean. It's all just a bunch of noise all jumbled up together.

He's had some difficulties controlling it since he received the echo, although recently he's managed to figure out how to turn it "on" and "off"--but that's about all the control he has over it. He can't adjust the volume. It's just on or off.

[doomedtheworld]

I'll understand if it's a little too early to request this but it's been awhile since she remembered that first one so....

Player: Nick
Character: Vin/Vanessa
Reason for Echo: After recovering from being mauled by fungus dogs, Vanessa has a strange fevered dream of being terribly injured sometime and being given pewter to help her heal.
What is returned: Knowledge of pewter as an Allomantic metal and a vague idea that it aids in healing. The actual effect of burning it will be quite depowered, nothing even approaching superhuman abilities. Burning pewter for now will give her an energy boost and some extra vitality to do regular human stuff (until it runs out at which point she will crash hard). It will also help her recover from her injuries a little quicker and dull the pain from them, but she'll still be pretty much sidelined for at least a couple of weeks and won't be back to full health for a little while after that.


... I promise, the next few Echo requests will be silly memories and stuff. >_>
