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.

[dead_black_eyes]

Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus Lawliet
Reason for Echo: In this thread L's therapist Belle Goldman is taking him to the kids' playroom to indulge a pissing contest he wants to have out with Bakura over a game of chess. The miniature chairs will force him to sit the way he does in canon: with his knees drawn toward his chest and balanced on the balls of his feet.
Type and tier: mental/memory, tier 1
What is returned: L gets a faint recollection of an old English gentleman. He doesn't remember a name but he remembers that this old man was important in his life, possibly a relative, definitely someone L looked up and at times deferred to.

[theearth]

For clarification's sake, where exactly would you draw the connection between the Echo trigger and the specific regain - that is, what would cause taking after the past L's sitting stance to "remind" him of Watari?

[indy_wannabe]

Player: Void
Character: Ezreal
Reason for Echo: Mounting a rescue in the Snake thread
Type and tier: Tier 1, Ability
What is returned: Trueshot Barrage, level 1. In game the ability can traverse the entire length of the Summoner's Rift (as seen here) which is a pretty large distance. In this case, I'll set it at traveling as far as he can physically see. The ability passes harmlessly through allies and damages all enemies it passes through, doing decreased damage with each new target. As far as Ultimates go it's a lower damage lower cooldown ability, but he can't fire it off willy-nilly it takes some time before he can use it again (About a minute and a half).

Player: Abby

Reason for Echo: Yoko mounting a rescue in Buster regalia
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Jin gets back memories about Yoko as yellow buster, her fighting style and whatnot... And the fact that despite never being in a serious relationship with her mother in the past life, he's still her dad, and he's been estranged from her for a long time for some reason he can't remember and has hidden that fact from her, so she has no idea.

[italktofish]

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: This post mentions the Teen Titans. Arthur's world had its own version of the Titans.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Knowledge of his world's version of the Teen Titans, though it should be composed of Robin, Speedy, and Aqualad. SUCH AN ODD DISCREPANCY.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: snake snake snake!
Type and tier: Item/Ability | Tier 2
What is returned: One of the coins of Zakynthos, with none of its power and as nothing more than a shiny coin with unfortunate markings. However, along with that, he'll gain back part of his mental acuity as a Grimm - specifically, the indomitable will part that makes him resistant to most forms of mind control, hypnotism, and mental suggestion. This does not, however, make him at all drug resistant.

[theearth]

Echoes that are combined for tier 2s ought to be related to one another -- is the coin related to his mental acuity as a Grimm?

[titansno]

Player: Zero
Character: Rachel Roth
Reason for Echo: Arthur mentioning a version of the Titans with Speedy and Aqualad on the team.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Knowledge of a second Titans team called Titans East, operating from the East Coast in Steel City. She'll know the lineup had the names Speedy, Aqualad, Bumblebee, and Mas y Menos.

[radiantchicken]

Player: Airdra
Character: Tater/Torin
Reason for Echo: Bakura's calling him by his preincarnation's name, which Thomas told Bakura but not the parrot himself. (Rude.)
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: Memory that his name is Torin, and that he has two titles: Paragon Supreme Torin and Demon Sword Priest Torin. He does not like the second one of these at all and would prefer to ignore it completely.

[titansno]

Player: Zero
Character: Rachel Roth
Reason for Echo: Douchebag elf talking about learned vs innate magical power.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: Confirmation that Raven did have outright magical potential, and the knowledge that she had spent time learning and practicing magic accordingly. Not all of her power was innate, basically.

[dancingonapin]

Player: Kat
Character: Francis Fell (Aziraphale)
Reason for Echo: Talking about encountering a figure of Death with Xander, which is a canon echo from his brief but intense encounter with Azrael (and the other Apocolyptic horsepersons) during the climax of the novel.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: A really intense flashback to the showdown between Adam the Antichrist and Azrael, the angel of Death.

I apologize again for the lateness in requesting this one. I promise the ones I request late are just really memories anyway, and I wasn't sure if this thread would go in the direction it needed for an echo regardless. I realize now that it has, enough to the point where I can make the request.

[eras]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Luke's post which I am tagging into now, specifically the mention of time travel.
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: The knowledge that she was the Maid of Time, although no understanding of what the heck that was, beyond the fact she was a time traveler.

[theearth]

Unless this is the first time Aria has encountered the concept of time travel, the mention of time travel by itself isn't strong enough to induce a canon recurrence Echo.

[strikeraid]

Player: Mawi
Character: Skyler aka skybutts von dickweed cockwipe fucklord mcdouchenozzle
Reason for Echo: CREEPIN' A CREEP ON SOME PRECURES. He was present during this event and I am here to collect! Pt 1: A shield made of light that hits back, you say...

What is returned: Reflect! A shield made of light that lasts for a few seconds and then disappears. Explodes and damages upon contact with an enemy. The explosion radius and the size of the dome of light will increase upon higher levels, but Reflect is the first level.

Reason for Echo: CREEPIN' A CREEP PT 2: A magical girl transformation sequence you say.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental

[pianistofraielin]

I feel like my echoes are always extremely specific and detailed i'm sorry you have to read this

Player: The Guindo
Character: Russel Goldman/Raiel
Reason for Echo: The first time he plays Appearance of the Firebird on piano/keyboard. Sometime in the future, idk when, I wanted to get the echo approved before I started planning for it.
Type and tier: Tier 1. It's sort of halfway between an ability and an animal companion.
What is returned: Firebird. See icon.

OKAY SO FIRST UP A DISCLAIMER I was looking over my app and I realized I forgot to specify that Raiel using The Infernal Dance as Firebird's summon theme is actually headcanon. The manga never specifies which part of the Firebird Suite he uses, and it's a 40+ minute ballet, sooo... I've always assumed he could do it with any song from the suite but headcanoned that he usually does it with The Infernal Dance. I CAN EDIT MY APP TO REFLECT THIS I've just taken it as a given for so long that I completely forgot to note it as headcanon.

I chose Appearance of the Firebird instead of The Infernal Dance for Firebird's first appearance in STE because it feels more thematically appropriate. also comedy option

ANYWAY. Firebird is a fire spirit, summoned by Raiel when he plays the Firebird Suite on piano. This is what it looks like. It has no specific powers outside of being a huge bird made of fire. It flies and it tears shit up and it sets things on fire by getting too close, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

Raiel is able to communicate with it (it never actually talks but he acts like it does), and there are sometimes extended joke sequences about the way it and Raiel treat each other. This is why I say it's half ability, half animal companion; they're pretty much BFFs, but Firebird is only around whenever it's summoned.

Points of note:
1) Russel does not have the ability to hear Raiel's summons yet, so no communicating with it for now
2) Firebird will be immediately unsummoned as soon as Russel stops playing; he is completely tone deaf and can't keep the music in his head well enough to keep the spirits around

[thebalrogslayer]

Player: Gilbert
Character: Gabriel / Glorfindel
Reason for Echo: Encountering athelas in this thread for the first time

[flamberge]

Player: Olga
Character: Karl Aurion
Reason for Echo: Skyler petting his hair at Starbucks aka Blood Key echo! (there's a log scheduled for Saturday but just wanna get this in now)
Type and tier: Ability/Knowledge, Tier 2
What is returned: The Aionis in his blood. It's this mineral/rock thing that, when ingested, gives a human the ability to use magic.

He'll also get the knowledge back on how to use a single, novice spell, namely First Aid. It's a healing spelling that canonly heals 30% of hp to one person. Translating this to ste, it'd probably heal up a minor wound completely (like paper cuts and scraps and stuff) and slow the bleeding for anything larger. Severe wounds (like limb loss and super heavy bleeding) would not be affected by First Aid at all, expect maybe like temporarily lessening the pain but no healing effect whatsoever.

[theearth]

Damn them Keys - either way!
