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.

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: He'll be hanging around all three of the statues in the art gallery for a while.
What is returned: He'll get back a memory of becoming Joker after Kenzaki attains King Form. All he'll remember is being alone somewhere in the woods because he could feel himself becoming dangerous, staggering out into a shallow lake, and trying and failing to resist the change into Joker. He'll know what he looks like thanks to the reflective surface of the water, and it's mostly to confirm some stuff he's suspected since he got back a memory of rampaging as Joker. He'll have confirmation of the form's name, looks, fact that it's his natural form, and that his instincts in that form are to fight and destroy, inexorably so.

Hajime will know that the transformation was partially triggered by some source of power nearby. Canonly, he knew it was Kenzaki, but he won't remember that here. It'll just be some mysterious source of power that feels similar enough to his own to drive him into a frenzy. Joker was always drawn to the strongest thing in the area, after all.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please info post, update to, remember, okay?

[gentlebrother]

Player: MC
Character: Lucas
Reason for Echo: Ghostly shenanigans? Definitely ghostly shenanigans.
What is returned: A memory of his mother getting killed by a Mecha-Drago (large dinosaur-looking thing with mechanical parts) after she tried to defend her sons, Lucas and Claus. For now he wouldn't know that the woman was his mother, nor the other kid who was with him was his twin brother. It'll be a vague yet terrifying memory for the poor kid.

[theearth]

WHELP

Echo approved. Sucks to be you, kid. Update your info post posthaste!

[argents]

Player: kou
Character: banagher links
Reason for Echo: getting haunted!
What is returned: the memory of the unicorn gundam's cockpit. just the aesthetics, nothing related to why or how or the logistics of being able to pilot it. thanks to casval's ravings about gundamus and the peripheral knowledge from his last echo, he'll start to piece together the fact that he did pilot, starting from here.

[theearth]

THE GHOST OF CHAR APPROVES THIS ECHO.

Now go update your info post boy before I Not Char Kick you in the space nuts.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Christobel Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: The hauntings
What is returned: Woo, the first actually relevant Echo she's going to get! Please note that this is headcanon'd since G1 canon is an 80s show yep

SO: This will be a VERY vivid memory of the moment Starscream was brought online. Headcanon is that this is done using huge underground factories in Cybertron, overseen by scientists. A Transformer is created in the factory based on a template, then imbued with a spark.

In Starscream's case, he was brought online with a rather large batch of other flying units ("seekers"). Chris will remember:

> being brought online, the diagnostic checks, etc
> Brief glimpses of Starscream's "siblings," Thundercracker and Skywarp
> The general look of the factory area

No names yet.

Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues in the museum with her uncle (Chris will stick around longer)
What is returned: The Decepticon written language, same as Matt got a while back.

[theearth]

Re: the first Echo, I'm... very tentative to approve one that's entirely based on headcanon. Is there at least some canon to support this theory of huge underground factories, templates, sparks, what have you? If you can give me some sort of justification on that front it'd probably be OK.

Second one is good to go though, no further elaboration required.

[11ady]

Player: Robyn
Character: Lady Une
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art exhibit
What is returned: the ability to make dudes follow her around Her old diplomatic skills so that's gonna be increased intelligence and flirtaciousness, I guess? :)

[theearth]

Increased intelligence/"flirtatiousness" is kind of vague. Can we maybe flesh this out a bit more? Say, an improved knowledge of politics in particular, added charisma in certain situations, etc.? I know what you're getting at sort of but I feel it could be defined better here.

[masterofbling]

Player: Robyn
Character: Petyr Baelish
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art gallery
What is returned: His silver mockingbird pin

[theearth]

Echo approved! Info post update! Just don't go creeping on all the ladies who vaguely resemble a certain someone, Petyr...

[deathcough]

Player: Kalyn
Character: Souji Okita
Reason for Echo: Hanging out in the gallery
What is returned: Memory of his first kill.


Character: Rei Kurosawa
Reason for Echo: touching the statue twice
What is returned: (1) Sixth Sense back
(2) Part of a memory from her daydream sequence (though she wouldn't know it as such) being pinned down and seemingly being sacrificed

[theearth]

Souji's Echo is approved, but might I ask what the "Sixth Sense" refers to, exactly?

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Either hanging around near the museum statues too long OR actually being brave enough to fondle one.
What is returned: Lightning's silver jewelry. B) Which includes a necklace aaaand a pierced navel YEP.

Reason for Echo: Haunting symptoms if that indeed becomes a thing for her.
What is returned: Some mild resistance to heat. Not enough to save her if you came after her with a blowtorch, but if she laid her hand on something hot it would take her a second longer to burn than usual.

[theearth]

ECHOES REJECTED BECAUSE ANDUIN SMELLS

Echoes approved because I have to I guess. Hmph.

I mean, maybe you should go update your info post, too. Not that I care or anything. Seriously.

[formermagicalgirl]

Player: Nadia
Character: Takako/Fenrir
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art gallery for long enough to get the safe echo.
What is returned: An ability to drain energy from living beings (basically gain some equivalent of Leafe so her abilities don't weaken her greatly). For now it requires direct touch (contact with her skin) and only works plants, animals, and insects, not on humans. It won't be enough to kill the creature, just would make them a bit tired (or wither slightly in the case of a plant). Also the innate ability to control it decently well so she doesn't draw too much attention for it.

Reason for Echo: Not yet threaded, but Sasame-mun and I plan to have a scene where Tamara ends up nearly passing out from how out of control her new ability has been and the fact that it is powered by Leafe and she has no way to gain it except from herself. This will happen in the art gallery after she's gained the safe echo.
What is returned: A memory of this scene minus the stuff with Mawata. So basically just remembering that she did a fake bit of hugging and kissing Sasame.

[theearth]

Both echoes approved. Update x2 your info post x1!

[secondcomingof]

Player: Deus
Character: Casval Mass
Reason for Echo: Lingering around, though not touching, the gallery statues.
What is returned: A memory of himself conversing with Banagher Links in Palau. More specifically, he'll remember the cup of tea he made for him, and the very last bit at the end, when he voices the hope that "someday, we'll come to understand each other".

Reason for Echo: Bumping into Brendan, his glasses falling off, and seeing his violet eyes WIDE WITH IMPASSIONED INDIGNATION.
What is returned: Violet eyes are a particularly striking feature of Full Frontal's lieutenant and personal guard, Angelo Sauper. Angelo also has a... similarly volatile temperament. Basically, he'll remember Angelo's identity, and that he was an "important" person to him. And that his eyes and hair were purplish and stuff.

...I may do a network Echo later too but I can't think of anything else for right now. So. Yeah.

[theearth]

And... then they kissed? And then there was lots of male on male kissing everywhere, right?

Approved for both, I guess? I feel kind of confused. Maybe you should just go update your info post.

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sam Iwata/Sasame
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art exhibit!
What is returned: Some of his old sword-fighting skills back. He'll now know how to block and strike on a basic level and a few basic stances. (However, his former strength and athleticism won't return with this for now, so he might struggle to lift and properly use an actual sword.)

Reason for Echo: Like Takako-mun mentioned, Sam's going to catch Tamara when she has a fainting spell due to her abilities, resulting in a canon-reoccurrence.
What is returned: The memory of faking an embrace and a kiss with Takako (although anything concerning the reason behind it--Mawata--will be blanked out until another echo). He'll also remember that it was definitely faked, but he was still rather happy about it. There's...there's a video she's linked up there and stuff. C'mon you're not going to make me link it again right? ...Right??

[theearth]

Echoes approved! Go on and update your info post.

[northless]

Player: Effy
Character: Robb Stark
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues in the art gallery.
What is returned: The lyrics to The Rains of Castamere.

[theearth]

Approved! Don't forget to update your info post.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Randolph Lyall
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the museum statues for an hour or two
What is returned: Memory of watching the battle between his former Alpha and his current Alpha, and the former Alpha's death; this comes with a sense of fear and anger at the former Alpha, worry about his plan not succeeding (he doesn't get any memory of that this plan is, except that it culminated in bringing this new wolf to fight the old wolf), and finally satisfaction when the abusive Alpha dies at the teeth of Conall Maccon. The memory ends as he begins to introduce himself to Conall as his new Beta.

[theearth]

Approved! Don't forget to update your info post.

[edhwierfan]

Player: Kamilah
Character: Aeron Penning / Arthur Pendragon

Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues
What is returned: Connection with the Pendragon crest. (Sense of familiarity and pride in it, accepting it as his symbol of sorts).

Reason for Echo: The hauntings
What is returned: Extensive (theoretical) knowledge of weaponry; knowing what they are, knowing how they're supposed to be used (but still unable to use them effectively at this point!)

[theearth]

Echoes approved! Go on and update your info post.

[angelskills]

Player: Kero.
Character Colette Brunel.
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art gallery, but not touching anything.
What is returned: Insomnia, reflective of one of the first things she had to give up when she was losing her humanity - the need to sleep. She'll still sleep now, of course, but she'll have a hard time doing it or won't feel like she needs it for long periods of time.

[theearth]

;_;

Echo approved... I guess... go update your info post, monster.

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: People-watching in the art gallery
What is returned: Half of Narsil. The pointy, utterly useless half that he can't hold without cutting himself.

He does have seven Echoes so far, and if you want to veto this, I totally understand -- I can just say that he wasn't in there for a full hour/went in the afternoon and came back in the evening.

[theearth]

Nope, this is cool, given that it's relatively minor in comparison to the others. Approved, go update the info post, etc.

[consiliarius]

Player: Rose
Character: Sanosuke Harada
Reason for Echo: Fun haunting times (particularly the howling dog noise)
What is returned: A memory of the Shinsengumi having to hunt down a loose rasetsu in Kyoto so it wouldn't terrorize the city. Because a howling dog totally sounds like the pained cries of a not!vmapire amirite. From a...distance...

Also he wouldn't gain any knowledge on what a rasetsu is from this memory except they're creepy as hell and fast and have white hair and red eyes, yes.

[theearth]

Echo appROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOved! Get it? Because it sounded like... oh, never mind. Just update that info post. MY JOKES ARE HILARIOUS

[misgives]

Player: Liv

Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: She hangs out at the museum basically all day.
What is returned: The memory of having to select an award for one of the paintings at the gallery and being addressed as 'princess.'

Character: Amaimon
Reason for Echo: Was haunted.
What is returned: He's beginning to phase shift back into a demon, so holy things have begun to bother him and supernatural things are on his radar.

Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Was haunted.
What is returned: He's beginning to phase shift back into a sparkly vampire samurai, the first thing to return being his bloodlust.

Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Turned up at the museum and either molested a statue or stayed a while, depending on pending logs.
What is returned: Having his hair go white/eyes go red when he's actively being a sparkly vampire samurai.

[theearth]

Allllllll echoes approved! Have fun updating those info posts, yup.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Mysterious presence!! (5/10)
What is returned: A memory of his late wife, Catherine.

Reason for Echo: Touching all three statues at the art gallery like a dipshit. (I am a-ok with him arousing suspicion!)
What is returned:
(1) Vampire fangs.
(2) The memory of witnessing two werewolves eat a person after dark, in the woods outside of Tyrol. He wrote to Ravi about it, too, but if that's too much for one memory I can omit the writing part!

[theearth]

Teach me the ways of the sparkletext.

Then I may consider approving this echo.

Just kidding, you're approved, but it's still nifty.

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony

Reason for Echo: Touching one of the snake statues at the museum.
What is returned: Memory of the appearance and name of the Ulyaoth rune.

Reason for Echo: His scheduled haunting on the 12th, should it stay on the agenda!
What is returned: Something to shed a little more light on memory of that symbol - memory of using the Enchant Item spell. All he'll remember is the circle of glowing blue runes surrounding broken pieces of an urn and a low, disembodied voice incanting "Antorbok, Magormor, Ulyaoth."

[theearth]

WELL THAT'S NOT CREEPY AT ALL.

Approved anyway, in both cases. Now time to get a fresh pair of pants...

[seriallylucky]

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues
What is returned: The inclination to grow his hair out and keep it long

[theearth]

Unless that occurred specifically within canon, this really isn't a valid Echo request as it's... just an inclination, as you noted. I would suggest just having the Echo magically poof his hair long (like we've had poofed hair colors) and he can decide he prefers it on his own merits instead.

[comparative_insanity]

Player: Emi
Character: Fai D Flourite
Reason for Echo: Poking one of the statues like a tool
What is returned: The first hint of his ability to utilize just about anything around him as a weapon. He won't be able to pick up a bow and arrows and be instantly amazing at it just yet, but he'll be quicker than an ordinary person to come up with uses for everyday items to defend himself with.

[theearth]

IS MAYONNAISE A WEAPON?

Approved but if you don't use mayonnaise as an instrument somehow I will be seriously disappointed. Don't forget to update your info post!

[spideyfanone]

Player: Siobhan
Character: Kurt Waggoner
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues politely.
What is returned: Written on his brain like a lifelong favorite, "Beautiful Dreamer," sung by a powerful if slightly pop-ish female voice and accompanied by ukulele.

Reason for Echo: Hauntings
What is returned: The memory of hacking a spaceship's weapons systems to nuke a third of a planet after finding out that his parents were vivisected by earth's new rulers. He doesn't remember any kind of context or what happened next.

[theearth]

I uh.

Okay, I confess, I have no idea about the ukulele thing. How does that relate to Kurt again? Second Echo is approved, though.

[solfage]

Player: Sam
Character: Luca Trulyworth
Reason for Echo: ain't no party like a GHOST HAUNTING party
What is returned: A blue magic spell, Triangle Tune. It's her low level heal/revive; because "lol RPG mechanics" I'm interpreting revive here as "restore consciousness" and not "bring back from the dead." As I have in her app, she'll need a power source to properly use her magic, although I'd like to say that without one and running on her own power, she could heal like...little cuts and scrapes, if that's possible? But for it to be able to do enough to actually be useful, she'll need that power source first.

[theearth]

Yep, healing little cuts and scrapes will work for now. Power source will come some time later.

Echo approved, so go on and update her info post.

[destinedforrock]

Player: Blue
Character: Cinderella (Rarity)
Reason for Echo: Scheduled haunting on the 11th!
What is returned: Opalescence the cat - Cinderella will not recognize her, and under the circumstances, will probably assume that she's a spirit or monster in disguise for the first few days, but she'll grow on her.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.
