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.

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: SNAAAAAAAAKES

[pokebonnet]

Player: Bii
Character: Ivy Curry
Reason for Echo: Lets get these gosh-darned snakes out of this gosh-darned house.
Type and tier: Ability (Tier 1)
What is returned: Vampire healing! Ivy will be able to heal superfast from anything but wood-caused wounds. Wood wounds, however, will heal more slowly than this.

[theearth]

How fast is Ivy's vampire healing?

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Player: Trouble
Character: Reimu Hakurei
Reason for Echo: Snake Statues at the planning meet up

[sucrosity]

Player: Sandy
Character: Yoko Aznable
Reason for Echo: IT'S A SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory + Ability!
What is returned: Yoko will be remembering how to transform into Yellow Buster using the Buster Brace. Along with that knowledge, the Buster Brace will be coming back online, allowing her to transform into Yellow Buster. (She'll remain without the ability to use Hyperspace, her superpowers, or anything about using the suit beyond "turn this on, wear pleather". It has strength and endurance boosting abilities, but they won't do much besides bump her existing human levels up a bit.)

[peacefulwinter]

Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas

Reason for Echo: I am sick and tired- yeah, no, we're just going to be fighting some snakes. Winter hasn't fought one since the second underground expedition.
Type and tier: T1 - Ability
What is returned: The ability of Dokidoki Cures to spontaneously power up when they're fired up - officially, when they're "overflowing with love", which tends to have varying meanings for different Cures based on their personalities. Rikka only ever seems to power up when Mana's on the line, which doesn't exactly help here, so it'll adapt to Winter. Which means when someone she really cares about is on the line, Cure Diamond will start to glow an icy blue, wisps of power visible and rolling off her - it's not unlike a Saiyan energy aura. All parameters are increased while like this, though it'll exhaust the user slightly faster. The duration... is theoretically limited, but we don't know how long it is, as this mode is more than enough to wipe out all but exactly one enemy, and that one was kind of unfair and unbeatable. Like almost all her other abilities, this doesn't function unless Winter is transformed into Cure Diamond, and its effect ends if and when she leaves form. Aside from the power boost, there are no other abilities or benefits to this ability, and it doesn't have a name.

TL;DR - super love love mode, which for Winter is "no, I like you, don't dieeee" mode.

[theearth]

This sounds more like a tier 2 ability. Do you have a tier 2 open for January?

[songoftimaendtimeagain]

Player: Zackary
Character: Luke
Reason for Echo: Snakes at Elian's!
Type and tier: Tier 1 Ability.
What is returned: Combat rolls! and backflips/sidehops. He can chain somersaults forever as well as roll up stairs somehow.


(This is of course going to change my Wise Snake Tier 2 but I have a plan for that so no worries.)

[theearth]

We're sorry, but Luke has already used his encounter with a snake statue Echo post-Proud's capture on December 13th.

[envisaging]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Sierra Callahan/Serah Farron
Reason for Echo: The FF cast meet up that is ongoing rn. SPECIFICALLY, MEETING MILES WHICH I SHOULD HAVE PRE REQUESTED AND FORGOT TO DO UH.
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: Hope handing Sierra Lightning's knife, and her having a breakdown about it, since that's the clearest memory she has of young!Hope that we've seen on-screen. :|a

Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong
Reason for Echo: Mac/John is apparently doing windy stuff all over the place at battletopia.
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: Aang's name/that she knew an airbender named Aang basically.

[gogoghostpowers]

Player: Lisa
Character: Danny McDoofus
Reason for Echo: SNAKE ATTACK
Type and tier: ability, tier 2!
What is returned: Flight. If possible, I'd like for him to get his full flight abilities here--no limits on altitude or speed (aside from his canon limit of ~150mph)

[pianistofraielin]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: Farmhouse meeting snakes
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 1
What is returned: Assassin stealth ability. All mundane learned skill, the type of stuff you get from training intended to make you good at sneaking around: the ability to move quickly and silently, knowing how to stay hidden, that sort of thing.

The moving silently part was something so ingrained in him that he had it pretty much always on, sooo that'll be a thing.


Character: Russel Goldman / Raiel
Reason for Echo: Also snakes, he's getting called in by Lily to help out
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 1
What is returned: Being able to play Appearance of the Firebird from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite on piano. Nothing else. Just that one song, not even the whole ballet.

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Sierra shows her the Pulse brand on her arm...
Type and tier: Mental, 1
What is returned: A very, very strong sense of distress. The knowledge that such a thing is extremely bad and probably should not be shown openly.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

[wastingtime]

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Snakes? SNAAAAAAAAKES
Type and tier: 2/PHYSICAL
What is returned:
Short version; a bit of strength so he's not quite frail old man. Also an underlayer of metal.
Long version; a while ago, Elian had some tattoo-like lines appearing on his back. Well, now they're going to be spreading across the entirety of his body below the neck; underneath the skin, around the dermal layer, there'll also be a change as it starts to harden and begin its transformation in to a more metallic substance. While this won't directly affect his muscles, it will have the side effect of making him more durable and, well, a bit stronger. He won't exactly be throwing cars around, but he will basically have a body that's about as tough as it was in its 20-30ss...even if it still looks its age.

I'm considering this a tier 2 because it seems like a 'big' change at once; while his precarnation was still, well, Old Robot, even an Old Robot strength strikes me as more than a Normal Person, and especially Old Man strength.

[centurian]

Player: Kalan
Character: Gerald/Garrus Vakarian
Reason for Echo: One day this thread won't trigger an echo every other comment.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of spending some time on an asteroid called "Omega". Why he was there remains unknown but WOW THANK YOU FOR ALL THE ECHOES MORDIN.

[eras]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Roxy's going to die/revive at the log. :|b
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2 (her last tier 2 was in September, SO.)
What is returned: She also has conditional immortality: revives unless just/heroic. I believe that alone is usually a Tier 2, yes, with no attached memories?

Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Combining her powers to move stuff at the log with Soren
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Moving the meteor in conjunction with Sollux OKAY THAT'S IT FOR NOW I JUST FORGOT THIS ONE WOW.

SORRY, I WAS GOING TO EDIT IT INTO THE OTHER ONE BUT YOU'RE ON THE BALL.

[theearth]

Correct!

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

[hawaiianheir]

Player: Mon
Character: Mac Kapule
Reason for Echo: Roxy is going to die/revive in the snake attack log.
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2 (I don't think I've used one since NIC CAGE, so it should be cool)
What is returned: The usual God Tier Contractual Immortality: revives unless the death counts as Just or Heroic. SO MANY HOMESTUCKS WHO CAN'T DIE WHAT IS THIS

[theearth]

After some discussion, we feel that the sight of Roxy's death and revival is not a strong enough trigger for a canon recurrence Echo that returns John's immortality.

He could, however, get a memory Echo of himself having once been immortal or that he had once obtained immortality if you'd like that instead!

[mood2wiingiing]

Player: kya
Character: soren
Reason for Echo: soren and aria are going to throw the babby snake statue around!
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: memory of moving the meteor with aradia!

[titansno]

Player: Zero
Character: Rachel Roth
Reason for Echo: Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability
What is returned: Yet another increase to her soul-self's power, maximizing her telekinesis and returning her shadow mimicry.

Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: Second verse, same as the first
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability
What is returned: Messiah Card 04 activates, enabling him to transform into Enter Unite. This will grant significant boosts to his physical traits (strength, agility, endurance...) and combat ability while transformed. Not on the level of throwing a car or anything, but not someone a normal person wants to go up against. It comes with a sweet rapier.

This will also cause his eye to occasionally glow red, with the number 04 over the pupil.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: Encountering the snakes in the barn meeting log
Type and tier: Tier 2, Power & Memory
What is returned:
Power: A Transformation Cog. This will give Chris the ability to transform her robotic parts into another form to disguise them. AT PRESENT, the base form will be that of a normal human. She'll be able to simulate clothing with it, but only over her robotic parts, which is useless at the moment since that's just her arms, legs, and eyes.

If someone were to just shake her hand, they wouldn't notice anything different; however, if she were cut, she'll still bleed bright pink glowing fluid, and any removal of the artificial skin will reveal metal underneath. She can't use any of her weapons or powers while in disguise.

Memory: The Autobots were the people that her Decepticons fought against in that great five million year long war. In her memories, they were despotic, racist rulers that her noble underclass rose up against to overthrow, but they refused to surrender, locking them in planetary conflict. ALL THEIR FAULT. In her mind, they're weak-willed wishy-washy two-faced hypocritical goody two shoes, overly idealistic and isolationist with no concept of how the universe REALLY works.

(Obviously, that's not true, but it's how Starscream THINKS of them.)

These Autobots were the first to develop transformation technology in a war that came long before the one she fought in; the Decepticons (in her mind) then perfected that technology.

[amajin]

Player: Abby
Character: Jin
Reason for Echo: Snaek!
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical/creature
What is returned: The AI he's been creating, through which he's attempting to recapture something of his former Buddyroid, J, gains sentience. Though no more advanced than a child, it is self-aware and learns. It's also kind of eager for knowledge. It will be based off a desktop rig as a cloud and connected to Jin's phone and perhaps others through a phone app.

Reason for Echo: Oh no, he's hot.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: He remembers Kurorin, aka Takeshi Kuroki, a coworker at the Energy Management Center (the organization which commands the Go-Busters) and superior as a Go-Buster. He was also a straight-laced military type who had crazy eyebrow game.

[tenaciousc]

Player: DC
Character: Mi(chell)e
Reason for Echo: THE HOUSE IS FULL OF SNAKES I REPEAT THE HOUSE IS FULL OF SNAKES ABORT ABORT
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory (last Tier 2 was mid-December)
What is returned:
Part 1: She remembers, in vivid detail, looking up at an ominous mechanical figure that's hanging from the ceiling, surrounded by screens. (The sight provokes a strong emotional reaction she has very little context for.)
Part 2: Speaking of context, she now knows that that robot is what she and Wheatley were trying to escape in their Blood Key echo! They were going to shut her (and she knows the robot is female, somehow) down so they could get out of... wherever they were.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Benjamin
Reason for Echo: snaaaakes!
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: The memory of Ratchet cannibalizing Jetfire's parts to use on Optimus so he can battle the Fallen! No context or names, just a vague feeling that Jetfire was a comrade and had been alive a moment ago, and then Ratchet was ripping off his useful bits and sticking them on another comrade in battle.

[grannyfucker]

Player: Lisa

Type and tier: tier 1, memory

[telvanni]

Player: Louise
Character: Nathaniel
Reason for Echo: Intentionally getting himself mugged by Blood Keys 8')
Type and tier: Tier 2 item(s!)
What is returned: His staff enchanter and a satchel of heart stones - ie, the basic equipment he'll need to begin enchanting staffs. Unfortunately, he will have no idea how to do that yet so the items are useless for now.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

[darkhourdear]

Player: Bookie
Character: Phillip Santorini/Pharos
Reason for Echo: In music class, their teacher introduced them to Carmina Burana, starting with talking about the meaning behind O Fortuna. That meaning is pretty much the cruelty of Fate, which the teacher explained the concept of, and that plus the whole lyric about the moon in a poem/song about horrible fate..... yeah it's a bit of a canon reoccurance
Type and tier: Tier 1; mental
What is returned: His ability to get really philosophical about fate, and a vague sense that it was very important to his past self.

Reason for Echo: Snakes!
Type and tier: Tier 1; ability? ish?
What is returned: Periodically, Phillip will random appear in the room of any in-game PC (male or female) at midnight and disappear at 1AM. The liklihood of this happening increases tremendously right before and after the full moon.

[theearth]

Unfortunately, we do not feel like an elementary school teacher would talk about the cruelty of fate to their students and so we have decided to decline this Echo request.

Second Echo, however, approved! Please update your info post and discuss random Phillipings with players before surprising their characters.
