Echo Requests (retired)

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.

Player: Incardine
Character: Rita Mordio / Britany Ruff
Reason for Echo: Investigating and probably encountering the underground statues.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Actually knowing how to cast the "Fireball" and "Splash" spells, and glimpses of her first time successfully using each - when she was eight. This would ideally be returned as she encounters the statues, thus why I'm asking slightly ahead of time.

(Note to self: Figure out some of the kinds of utility magic Rita would've known.)

Apologies for the inconvenience! However, to clarify, an Echo is only induced on encountering the first statue - not one each. Would Rita have first used Fireball and Splash each on the same occasion? If not, would you care to grant them both through a Tier 2, or do you have a preference for one or the other?

Player: Levon
Character: Thomas Akagi/Nobuo Akagi
Reason for Echo: Hajime saying Thomas was "grandly delusional" and repeated use of the term delusional. Grand delusion being the activation phrase for Thomas' transformation which runs on being delusional
Type and tier: Type 1 power/ability
What is returned: Thomas regains the ability to transform into his superhero persona, AkibaRed. Since his powers run on delusion though and Thomas is a fairly grounded person, for now, any transformation will not last long and leave him incredibly exhausted afterward.

Character: Axel / Axel Engres
Reason for Echo: Visit to the Tuning Towers (currently being logged; they're being careful in their approach)
Type and tier: Tier 2, mental/memory & item
What is returned: The memory of something called "Organization XIII"; that there were fourteen people in it, and that he was "Number VIII". He'll see them wearing black coats, with the hoods up to hide their faces. The item is his own coat.

EDIT: whoops another one, sorry!

Character: Axel / Axel Engres
Reason for Echo: Conversation with Ironhide, saying that Axel can do the "dirty work"
Type and tier: mental/memory, tier one
What is returned: Asking Saïx, "When have I ever complained about the dirty work?" He'll get a fuzzy image of what Saïx looks like, and get the impression that the man is someone important to him, but have no idea who he is.

Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas
Reason for Echo: The expedition to find David Proud under the Tuning Towers.
Type and tier: Plot, T1
What is returned: Winter recovers a memory of Rikka seeming to waver about something in an empty house, Raquel sitting on the staircase rail next to her. Winter will clearly catch something about Rikka's dream to be a doctor like her mother, and then the seemingly spontaneous decision to take Raquel on a date, causing him to light up like a Christmas tree as she announces they'll be going to the beach. She picks up a hat, pulls out her bike, puts Raquel in the basket, and takes off. The memory fades as she pulls away from the house.

Better late than never?

Player: Jisu
Character: Kari Acosta | Caren
Reason for Echo: Underground statue fight/running-away/whatever! She'll end up having her pearl knocked away, so...
Type and tier: Memory, 1

But of course~!

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Ravi's post and the advice Julien gives. It's basically the same as something crucial to Yuuya - something like "I did something terrible in a situation where there was no 'right' answer. I can never undo it. I have to do better and be better in the future, but this will always hurt, and I will always remember."
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: Just... taking that to heart, the strong sense that that is important, you can't let your past stop you, you have to learn from it and press on. Which doesn't mean he can perfectly follow it! But he can try.

Player: Alec
Character: Chinene Shou/Sho
Reason for Echo: Various people have been trying to teach him how to use his gun when finally Calista's lessons sink in.
Type and tier: Physical - tier one
What is returned:
His ability to use handguns - and handguns only since the rest of the guns require further training - at his human skill level. He's not going to have any impossible skills with them, only that he's good for a human.

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

Player: Kat
Character: Aziraphale
Reason for Echo: Witnessing the top post + the discussion that happens in this thread. Canon recurrence for when Aziraphale hilariously possessed a televangelist on live television, if this counts as a way to trigger it.
Type and tier: Memory; Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of the incident in question - he'll have a dream about possessing a televangelist on live television and rambling on about the apocalypse while said televangelist has a massive freak out.

Wow sorry if this is a bit late, I didn't realize the echo potential until way later; if this gets accepted would it be alright to say that he got this memory in a dream earlier in the month?

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post - and acceptable indeed either has having occurred earlier or as a delayed effect.

Player: Jisu
Character: Tessa Hart | Kokoro Belmont
Reason for Echo: Bakura's evidence that Richard/Karl/Kratos/Etc. was behind the drug bust and assertion that he must have betrayed the Numbers.
Type and tier: Mental, 1
What is returned: Kokoro's view that enemies are enemies and allies are allies, no matter what they're "supposed" to be (e.g. having no suspicions of Tita or Dr. Venom even if some of the other girls do, or not hesitating to attack T. B. Rika after she reveals herself as a Bacterian spy). If someone turns from one side to another, Tessa will accept it as that. (She'll also be less awkward around the resident undead, since they're Numbers first and foremost -- she's been trying to tell herself that anyway, but now she'll be more sure.)

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

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: Being handcuffed.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1.
What is returned: The memory of being cuffed with silver manacles and led down to a medieval style dungeon to be locked away for the full moon. The memory lasts from the cuffing to the cell door closing behind him, the cuffs burn against his skin where they brush it beyond the cuffs of his sleeves, and the emotion involved is fear. (This is from a very early change, when he still needed manacles and did not have the control he has in canon.)

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

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price/Vector Prime
Reason for Echo: Encountering the Blood Keys; he'll be compliant at first, but when they try to take his 'lucky charm' - read, cyber key - bad shit will happen.
Type and tier: Lvl 2; Memory/Power
What is returned: CANONICALLY you shouted 'CYBER KEY POWER' and the Cyber Key fell from the sky and powered you up; in Vector Prime's case, it gave him a powerful forcefield that he could then release as an energy burst. Because this is not quite Transformers Anime and he already has the key, he'll simply remember the command phrase, and, well, say it.
This will allow him to unlock the, well, Cyber Key Power. A green forcefield that's not quite impenetrable but still able to take a thug's knife and/or gun without issue, which will then explode; HOWEVER it won't be a powerful explosion. We're talking knockback/knock people off their feet, no real damage/etc. (Think 'Fus' in 'Fus Ro Dah').
TL;DR HE GETS A SHIELD AND A MINISPLOSION THAT WILL ENABLE HIM TO GTFAWAY FROM THE GANG MEMBER

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post - and hail, the Transformerborn comes.
