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.

Echo approved! Echo approved!

Info update! Info update! Just don't try to blow up the cute girl with it this time, okay? Banagher, that is not how you make friends.

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sasame
Reason for Echo: Touching the detective (I'm assuming this'll happen at some point, anyway...)
What is returned: Sasame's need to protect people--both a desire to, and a feeling that it's his "duty."

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: He's proving himself to have issues working with others here and here
What is returned: Memory of his first meeting with Blade. Blade wants to fight together, but Hajime claims everyone is his enemy and lashes out at the other Rider before leaving. Both he and Blade are transformed. Hajime won't remember what he looked like aside from being aware he was armored somehow, and he'll just get a memory of hitting a guy in different weird bug-themed armor.

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Getting her grubby hands all over the second snake statue.
What is returned: More of her chaos-based soul; vague sense that there's something different, in a way that makes her keep touching the area around her heart as if expecting something to be there. As a direct result, her Thunder spell also gets slightly stronger.

Reason for Echo: Seeing Elizabeth/Euphemia and aaaall of that long pink hair.
What is returned: Her own hair becomes unusually prone to fading... and starts growing in pink. Yep.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: First mention of werewolves
What is returned: A memory of running and hunting as a wolf, with the Woolsey pack.

Toldja they'd start coming with the werewolf plot...

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: An offer to guide Jack to a place of safety by using his knowledge of the terrain to keep them from being spotted = guiding the Hobbits to Rivendell. "Strider can take you by paths that are seldom trodden."
What is returned: The ability to move with silence and stealth, especially in terrain he knows well.

[reapsthewind]

one memory of flying above a planet-sized metropolis under an alien sky will do then

[deathcough]

Player: Kalyn
Character: Souji Okita
Reason for Echo: touching the statue
What is returned: Memory of sparring with Hajime, but no context as to why.

[unfearing]

Player: Liv
Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Saitou briefed him on the rather overwhelming, high-stakes situations going on, which was something Saitou often did in the past.
What is returned: A guilt-ridden memory of a night when Saitou similarly debriefed him on a mission he'd just completed, involving the assassination of a young girl.

Character: Euphemia li Britannia
Reason for Echo: While visiting the Dead District at a rather seedy time to meet with Aragorn, she went and felt up the statue.
What is returned: A brief but vivid flash of the flag of the Holy Britannian Empire.

Could you clarify what you mean by "stealth", please? Is this simply improved sneaking around, or is it literal invisibility?

I'm guessing you mean the former, but I just want to make sure.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura Ryou
Reason for Echo: Playing D&D with a group of plot signifiant friends.
What is returned: Very condensed memories of Monster World,
with special focus on the conflict between the two Bakurae and the end result Also, some phantom pains in his left hand to go with the wow painful memory.

[elfstoned]

Sure! It's not straight-up invisibility, not by far, but he'll be about as good at sneaking-around-without-being-seen as you can be without supernatural powers.

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: Attempting to scare someone into being more cautious with his trust, then denying the terrible what-if scenario with logic reminds him of his first meeting with Frodo & company in Bree.
What is returned: He remembers the text of Gandalf's letter to Frodo in its entirety.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Some kind of "werewolf" encounter.
What is returned: Lungs changing into pigeon lungs (though... proportional to his chest, so he doesn't just die), smaller and differently made and oh yes not involved with the diaphragm, so... unable to breathe deeply, about level three dyspnea when calm.

and soon after that

Reason for Echo: Being told firmly to breathe and take deep breaths, in person, while being examined.
What is returned: Pigeon air sacs off his lungs and the ability to use them, allowing those lungs to actually be used effectively. Without some other birdy adaptations - hollow bones, extra large red blood cells, a faster metabolism, a large powerful slow heart - he couldn't get the full benefit of them, but hey, it becomes very difficult for him to be out of breath.

Neither happens instantaneously.

Hmm. Could that heartbeat-sound of getting an echo be heard by someone else? Say with a stethescope at the time?

[theearth]

Approved!

Please update your info post.

[theearth]

I don't have an issue with the first parts, but I'm not sure why he'd have phantom pains over the memory unless this also occurred within canon. Could you clarify this for me?

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[theearth]

Approved! Twice!

And I'm not sure about that, actually, but I'll ping Mal for an answer (assuming he doesn't see this first).

[shiromadoushi]

In canon, his hand having been impaled like that is kinda serious messed up (since.. well.. it got impaled.) So was thinking of it like sympathy pains from the memory, if that makes sense?
