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.

FIRST ABILITY ECHO HERE WE GO

Player: Rex
Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: Doyle thought a little too hard about this: 'How can you protect anyone' - yes it's melodramatic and cliche but boy howdy is this an issue for Umbrael re: his own species, with the descendents of his 'family' dying out and nothing he could do seemed to stop it. So yeah, he'd ask himself in his moments of contemplation, and feel useless and powerless, which is something Doyle did up there, even if it's on a slightly smaller scale.
Type and tier: Ability, 1, FINALLY SOMETHING THAT ISN'T A MEMORY WOO
What is returned: Shadow manipulation powers, but only a small level for now - he's not even going to be aware he has them at all, actually, since there's no indication of what he echoed back. Until he figures it out or is thrown into danger, all he'll notice is a slight movement in his peripheral when he's deep in thought or troubled or stress.
If he gets put in danger at all and/or panics, then the nearest shadows would move to lash out wildly in defense as reflex, but it's really the shadowy magical equivalent of of flailing your arm in someone's face.
If he doesn't echo back anything better after that, he'll find he can currently only affect the shadows within about three or so feet of him without really concentrating on it. If he really tried, he could move a piece of shadow that's in his line of sight, but that's still a limited distance, like uh the same room? The further away, the more of a stretch it would feel. What he can do with them falls under... uh, his ability section, I guess, but waaaaaaay weaker and clumsier.

is this ok did I do it right?

[willchange]

Player: Remaix
Character: Cerise Bellefleur | Tsubomi Hanasaki

Reason for Echo: Seeing this post, in which the creation of the Metaroid is eerily similar to how the monsters Tsubomi fought were created.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Knowledge about Desertrians, how they're created, and that she used to fight them.

Reason for Echo: Meeting Raquel, Rikka's plushie-looking fairy partner.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Creature
What is returned: Her own fairy partner that looks like a plushie, Chypre. Except instead of just looking like a plushie, she'll actually be a plushie until further echoes happen.

Also wow somehow I missed this one, I am such a fail. But I'll request it anyway if it's fine that it's kinda late:

Reason for Echo: Seeing Annie's magical girl transformation with her transformation item.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory + Item
What is returned: Memory of transforming and introducing herself as Cure Blossom, plus her Heart Perfume, which is her own transformation item. Though she can't use it to transform without her Precure Seed, so it will just be a very fancy and useless perfume bottle.

[theearth]

Knowledge about Desertrians and how they're created are approved for Echo one. Echoes two and three are approved as they are! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[seishindairingun]

don't know if I'm doing this right but here we go

Player: Jay
Character: Inga Blink
Reason for Echo: this thread, of Cain making a sentient robot
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: The memory that sentient robots are A Thing, and that she was fighting two of them.

[theearth]

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

[stop_hamerutime]

Player: Nerdo
Character: Henrietta Szczensy
Reason for Echo: "I'm a soulless husk"/discussion of one's soul being in a separate container
Type and tier: Mental, 1
What is returned: A memory of a blue-haired girl (Sayaka Miki) being very upset over being a "zombie" because her soul is in something outside her body. Henrietta will not remember her name or the specific circumstances.

[theearth]

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

[synonymouswithdookie]

Player: RYO
Character: RAY/ZIM

Reason for Echo: That one farmhouse investigation log, running into all those vats and pods full of critters and goo.
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of Zim's giant, creepy underground base, which had plenty of weird alien shit just like it.

[theearth]

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

Bulking up on Echos while season 1 lasts

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

Player: Zack
Character: Luke/Link

A bunch of these will be retroactive as they supposedly happened in this log.

Reason for Echo 1: Snake Statue encounter.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory.
What is returned: Memories of the Dodongo's Cavern and receiving Goron's ruby.

Reason for Echo 2: Fighting a snake statue since it resembles the lizalfos that guard the bomb bag chest.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Item.
What is returned: The Bomb Bag. Can hold 10 bombs, and bombs are added to the list of possible spawning items when he cuts grass/breaks pots. They will only drop rarely.

Reason for Echo 3: Gavin trying to eat him whole.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory.
What is returned: Memories of Jabu Jabu's belly and getting the Zora Sapphire.

Reason for Echo 4: Playing JRPGs with Jamie, and arguing over what armor to give the character. (flipping back and forth between outfits)
Type and tier: Tier 1 Ability(?)
What is returned: The concept of an inventory screen. Luke won't be able to see it or anything like that, but he will be able to 'equip' and 'unequip' his echoed items as he would in game. When unequipped, the items will not be able to be retrieved by anyone except Luke. When equipped, the items in question are on his person somewhere, pockets/backpack/clipped to belt or pants. When he echos back the Zora Goron and Kokiri tunics, he will be able to switch between them instantaneously, he will not however be able to put back on regular clothing instantly, and will have to go retrieve his previous normal outfit from wherever he originally put it on.

[theearth]

Echoes 1, 2, and 3 approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

Regarding Echo 4, is this the first time Luke has played a game wherein equips can be rotated?

I'm just..................

[amajin]

Player: Abby
Character: Jin Aznable
Reason for Echo: This bullshit from Cain
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: The existence of metaroids and that his mission was to fight them.

Reason for Echo: This post from Calista
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory.
What is returned: Memories of Messiah as a terrifying sentient virus that had some sort of control over him/the world he lived in. Somewhat misleading, given that he lived in hyperspace (for some definition of 'lived') and Messiah hadn't been able to access the real world. He will have some idea that it's misleading, but not exactly why. Coming along with are memories of Escape, basic memories of her and the concept of an Avatar.

[theearth]

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

But wait, there's more.

[amajin]

Player: Abby
Character: Jin Aznable
Reason for Echo: Some nerd
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The existence of the Go-Busters as a spec-ops team that uses buddyroids. The fact that his is named J.

ughhhh

[amajin]

Reason for Echo: He won't shut up
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Enter's existence and that he's an enemy.

[prismaticdestruction]

Player: Kati
Character: Dani/Flandre
Reason for Echo: GDI Marisa! (http://savetheearth.dreamwidth.org/368597.html?thread=38846677#cmt38846677) I have a feeling there will be more incoming so just a warning.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Memory and Ability
What is returned: The memory of dodging that giant laser of death a.k.a. Master Spark. Also gaining back her most basic of danmaku with the very slow gaining of the knowledge of how to use it.

For now she can only create a few of the magical bullets at a time and only in moments of danger. As she practices with it and the knowledge comes back to her, she can slowly use more of the bullets and on command. None of these are lethal!

[theearth]

The memory of dodging Master Spark, the ability of basic danmaku, and the knowledge of how to use danmaku are considered three Echoes. Thus, as a Tier 2, please choose two of them to regain.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Player: Trouble
Character: Reimu Hakurei
Reason for Echo: Seeing weird things in the Farm investigation log
Type and tier: Type 2 Ability
What is returned: An upgrade to her divine power to about 50% of what it was in canon (though I didn't exactly say how much power she got last time, it was still a smaller amount) and the Yin Yang orbs can now split and multiply the more power she's using.

[theearth]

Could you give us an idea of what 50% of Reimu's original divine power means?

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: Jin directly addressing him as Enter
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: He already remembers the Go-Busters' codenames. He'll now remember Masato Jin - and that he operated as Beet Buster.

[theearth]

Echo approved; please update your info post accordingly!

[moralizes]

Player: Kelsey
Character: Izuru
Reason for Echo: running into a Blood Key for the first time
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: A spell-type attack

[theearth]

Before we stamp our approval, we'd like to confirm that it'd be acceptable to assume that as Izuru as of yet lacks the full spiritual power of shinigami status, the spell too itself would be powered down.

If not, then we wish to request an alternative Echo - and we apologize for the inconvenience!

AKAGI CAME BACK AND THAT MEANS ECHOES...

[sucrosity]

Player: Sandy
Character: Yoko Usami | Yoko Aznable

Reason for Echo: literally this entire post is an echo, thanks Cain
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: Cain talks like Enter, and looks like Enter! But more importantly, he makes monsters like Enter. Yoko will remember "Enter" created monsters named "Metaroids", and that they served Messiah.

Reason for Echo: Calista's comment here
Type and tier: tier 1, memory
What is returned: Calista's sounding pretty close to regular Escape, there. Yoko will remember Escape: that she served Messiah, who she called "Papa", and that Yoko fought against her.

Reason for Echo: Akagi fourth-walling
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: She remembers the general appearance of her teammate, Masato Jin, who looks much younger than but otherwise just like her dad!

Reason for Echo: See above (provided I can... do that...)
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: Yoko remembers that she was a member of the Spec-Ops Cell, Gobusters, and they had robot partners, called Buddyroids.

If the last two should be rolled into one tier 2 Echo, I can do that, but I figured they were distinct enough references to be separate?

[sucrosity]

Reason for Echo: for the love of all that is holy, Akagi, shhhh
Type and tier: type 1, memory
What is returned: She'll remember J, who she nicknamed Juicy, as a Buddyroid and as her teammate, Stag Buster.

it keeps happening

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: Calista referring to the Metavirus as an evolved virus and comparing it to Messiah
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The knowledge (to an extent) of what the Metavirus is. An extension of Messiah's power as a living assimilative virus, bringing life to inorganic matter. He won't know that with further evolution it can infect and absorb living matter, or be truly aware of how far it can go.

Reason for Echo: Fuckin Akagi. His references to "the main purpose of ANY Metaroid" and his talk of a "hyperspace incursion".
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The awareness that Metaroids are meant to be beacons for Megazords - and that the Megazords will have attributes of those Metaroids. He'll remember that the Megazords would come in from a pocket dimension called Hyperspace, where Messiah and the Vagras made their base.

LIFE IS PAIN

[cava]

Reason for Echo: Yoko wearing her Go-Busters team jacket and trying to intimidate him
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: He'll remember Yoko Usami, and that she was Yellow Buster.

[strikeraid]

Player: Mawi
Character: pooplord skybutt dickweed mcgee
Reason for Echo: A real AI with limitations in its programming, you say...
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: From here to 28:37! Lots of technobabble, meeting Tron, talking about Hollow Bastion and the MCP, figuring out how to get out, and Goofy telling him that the Keyblade can unlock that door!

[theearth]

Echo approved; please update your info post accordingly!

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Plot - farmhouse investigation.
Type and tier: Ability, tier 1.
What is returned: An additional 25% of his healing, for a current total of 75%.

[theearth]

Echo approved; please update your info post accordingly!

[amajin]

Player: Abby
Character: Jin Aznable
Reason for Echo: Nngh, Enter...
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: He remembers being Beet Buster and how to transform. (He can't do it yet, of course, but he remembers how)

[theearth]

It might not look that bad if it was a yellow beet.

That said, Echo approved - as the knowledge that he was Beet Buster, regarding how to transform as a separate piece of knowledge! If this is not acceptable, let us know; if it is, please add relevant data to your info post.

[adorabastard]

Player: Kas
Character: Alistair
Reason for Echo: Seeing the tattoos on Ironhide's face in this log.
Type and tier: Mental, tier one.
What is returned: The memory of Zevran's tattooed face.

Character: Axel
Reason for Echo: Ironhide referring to a bunch of assassins.
Type and tier: Mental, tier one.
What is returned: The knowledge that there are many of these things, and he commanded them all.

Character: Axel
Reason for Echo: KEYBLAAAAADE.
Type and tier: Mental, tier one.
What is returned: The knowledge that the Keyblade isn't just "a weapon that frees hearts trapped inside the heartless": it collects those hearts. That fact is extremely important, though he has no idea why.

Character: Axel
Reason for Echo: Does the name "Riku" ring any bells?
Type and tier: Item, tier one.
What is returned: The name "Riku" fills into place in his diary, in each of the entries in which it appears (including those that are otherwise currently blank).

[theearth]

One receives memory of Zevran and the other receives memory of commanding a group of assassins but in any case Echoes approved! Please update your characters' info posts accordingly!

[loveyoubaby]

Player: Ryo
Character: Max Kawasaki/Gunmax

Reason for Echo: robot ninja detective ???>>
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory

Colorful in two senses of it.

[centurian]

Player: Kalan
Character: Gerald/Garrus Vakarian

Reason for Echo: Consensual interspecies porn (????????)
Type and tier: Mental, 1
What is returned: The memory of a publication called Fornax, dubbed "the galaxy's finest xenophilia" not that he ever looked through it.

Reason for Echo: ...Soulless husk????
Type and tier: Mental, 1
What is returned: The memory of husks, zombie-like creatures created out of synthetic and organic materials. WHY they exist isn't quite clear, but they seem pretty unsettling to Gerald.

[theearth]

Echoes approved! (The first of them quietly.) Please update your info post accordingly!

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Player: Ken
Character: Lily Tsukuyomi (Yuri Tsukikage)
Reason for Echo: This event greatly parallels the creation of the monsters Yuri fought as Cure Moonlight.
Type and tier: Tier 1 (Memory)
What is returned: Basically the other half of the Heart Flower memory; how the Desertarian monsters were created by the Desert Apostles, what they are, and that she fought them.

[theearth]

Echo approved - excluding the specific knowledge without inference that Yuri fought Desertarians. If acceptable, please, update your info post accordingly!

[dominateartimus]

Player: Joc

Reason for Echo: Canon parallel due to threatening a female blood key member when saving Ravindra from being mugged.
Type and tier: 1, memory

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please update your info post!

[youngestone]

Player: Fae

[sassymaru]

Player: Red
Character: Shadowmaru | Takenaka Yuji
Reason for Echo: Max implied Yuji's preincarnation had a dog's name and he reacted indignantly.
Type and tier: Tier 1: Memory
What is returned: Remembering how much he hated being referred to as a DOG because he "was a wolf"! Except he won't recall yet the fact he turned into a robot dog, just that he couldn't stand being called one, and very much preferred to be called a wolf.

[theearth]
