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.

[scramasax]

Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Viewing the pink light in the sky on the 21st.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Physical
What is returned: Another degree of zombification - moving him to 4/6 steps along the physically-dying part of it. For the most part symptoms worsen as they've already been doing - stiffening up, vital signs dropping, and his natural self-repair from damage slowing to an effective nothing. It's also at this point that decomposition advances into obviously apparent - the Echo taking effect will leave him with a few holes opening up in his face, his eyes grayed-over, his hair coming out easily, and a bit of the expected smell, as the clear ways.

[entertainaplanb]

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: This conversation, which parallels Rebecca making a similar 'milk the time you have' decision in canon.
Type and tier: memory, tier 2
What is returned: The memory of said 'milk the time you have' discussion; she'll realise on her own it's part of the conversation about the statue of HG Wells. I'd also like her to get Jack's name, but not exactly why he's significant.

Reason for Echo: Marksmanship lessons from Kotetsu, planned on the network and handwaved to have happened. First time she's handled a gun in this life.
Type and tier: ability, tier 1
What is returned: Further regular-gun marksmanship skills; she still won't be very good with moving or small targets, but if it's large and relatively still she'll hit what she's aiming at.

Reason for Echo: The light show on the 21st.
Type and tier: item, tier 1
What is returned: Her service revolver. Essentially useless considering she has no license to carry, and it won't come with any bullets unless it happens to have a couple loaded.

Reason for Echo: Planned log for the next couple days in which Julien stealths up behind her and startles the bejeezus out of her; while Julien won't be doing it on purpose, her former boss does this all the time. (Seriously; it was a point late in S4 that Mrs. Frederic walking out of a room was a Bad Sign.)
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of an imposing black lady who liked to pop up in rooms and startle the bejeezus out of people.

please read tl;dr...

[wastingtime]

Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Something named Unicron, a beast the size of a planet, something horrible..."
Type and tier: MENTAL/MEMORY; 1
What is returned: I know I just requested an echo, but...let me tell you something. Let me tell you how important Unicron is/was to Vector Prime, Elian's preincarnation. Let me tell you how Vector Prime was literally forged to fight Unicron, to forever combat the work of the Chaosbringer and to safeguard Unicron's opposite, Primus's, own interests.
Elian's Echo will be another vision, but this one will be of fighting Unicron- combat, war, and all those other things that trigger Elian's own issues with violence. This, in correlation with his previous Echo moments ago, will cause him to faint...and then obtain the clearest Echo he's gotten so far; approximately ten seconds of battle, alongside his then-siblings, as they fight in the first true War.
All told, Elian will prefer not to remember this. He will block it out as much as he can; specifics such as the fact all of them were robots will be be walled off, and may or may not be unveiled through direct RP as opposed to another Echo trigger. The real result for the moment is the adding of the name 'Unicron' to the list of Elian's DO-NOT-WANTs, a name which will become associated with the concept of anathema. He will also unconsciously use the term 'Chaosbringer' if he has to refer to the entity.

Again, I know this is very soon after the previous one, but considering /how important Unicron is/was/ - I felt it justified.

[goldenclothes]

thank you~

[goldenclothes]

Player: Myf
Character: Reilanin
Reason for Echo: The lights on the 21st!
Type and tier: Tier one, plot echo, ability
What is returned: Her supernatural hearing ability. no dog whistles please. (oh god the next few days are going to be murder.)

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Pink lights on 9/21, evening.
Type and tier: Physical, tier 1.
What is returned: His tapetum lucidum. It's an additional layer in the eye that allows for night vision.

because it's about time sob

[caosgo]

Player: Enzel
Character: Emmanuel (Castiel)


Reason for Echo: Julien confiding in him that the Apostle made a terrible sacrifice to save his brother.
Type and tier: Memory/tier 1
What is returned: The memory of this scene. Castiel tells Dean that if he pledges himself to the angels, Sam doesn't have to have the responsibility of stopping the apocalypse.


Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights
Type and tier: Memory/tier 1
What is returned: A memory of being in the mental hospital with Meg looking after him. This is disjointed, since he was hallucinating almost constantly. There is a woman in scrubs with dark hair and a hideously disfigured face, but he feels safe with her because she looks after him. Also, there's a tall blonde man who he's completely terrified of, who seems to take delight in that fact. Add a hefty dose of guilt and (hallucinated, though it seems real) pain that doesn't seem to come from any particular source.


Reason for Echo: Investigating the buzzing sound
Type and tier: Ability/memory Tier 2
What is returned: His ability to hear ultrasonic frequencies. Canonically, angels are actually extremely high-frequency wavelengths and communicate across them, and can can technically tune into radio and other lower frequencies. In Episode 8.08 Castiel specifically does this to listen in on police radio.

Theoretically what I'd like to happen is this: it takes him about a week to learn how to shut it off at will, and in the meantime, all the sounds he hears will be too jumbled to sort through or make out. Lots of headaches, disorientation, dizziness, etc. After that he can start figuring out how to use it with more precision, but it'll take a month or two, and he won't be able to do much more than tune into, say, the news. Or, if he's allowed to tune into police scanners for some kind of plot reason, it'll only be brief and fragmented. (after all, trying to sort through thousands of frequencies worth of information with a human brain? near impossible. If this comes up, I'll make a request about what kind of information he can overhear, if anything at all.)

The memory returned with the hearing will be the memory of him attempting to speak to Dean after raising him from Hell, and breaking a lot of windows. (episode 4.01)

[hoennmaihime]

Player: Name
Character: Haruka Minamoto
Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights
Type and tier: Creature, tier 1
What is returned: her immensely depowered fire chicken. It can jump up high and that's it. Listens to only Haruka, and just barely.

and echo two-

Reason for Echo: Following the buzzing to the Tuning Towers
Type and tier: power for her creature, tier 2
What is returned: The moves Flamethrower and Sky Uppercut

[selfassured]

Player: Heather
Character: Derek Hale

Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: His freaky werewolf eyes.

Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: Recollection of killing his Uncle, Peter.

before i run out the door

[metalbent]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong.
Reason for Echo: "Once you arrive at the Towers themselves, in addition to the buzzing you’re likely to sense tremors in the ground below you - which isn’t actually shaking, or otherwise eliciting a reaction from the non-numbered around." I'd like the tremors, and sensing them beneath her with her feet, to trigger off the following:
Type and tier: Ability; pretty sure it's tier one. (I guess if it fits tier two if she like, gets the memory of being taught how to see like that with it, that would be cool too).
What is returned: Toph's seeing-with-her-feet schtick. Since Toph's seeing-with-her-feet schtick has a stupid crazy range and accuracy I think I'll probably need to be doing it in levels. For this, I'd say Sophie can maybe see up to...idk, what is a distance you guys think is fair? :|a fifteen feet? Twenty? Ten? And probably will have to practice a fair amount because wow sudden new sensory input (although tbh she will be thrilled, if like "what" "but why" "my feet?" and if she wants to use it really well she'll have to go shoeless 8| and obviously this will only work on rock/earth/etc ). This won't come with any of her other earthbending skills as of yet; just the tremor sense dealio. I THINK THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR HER TO GET INVOLVED IN PLOT STUFF, since she'll have to sit a bit less out.

Reason for Echo: The buzzing itself.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1.
What is returned: Remembers her friend Sokka gave her the metal space bracelet.

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto/Enter
Reason for Echo: Seeing Chris's weird cyberpunk white trenchcoat costume, along with Akagi's earlier mention that Enter wore "an odd trench coat with digital patterns".
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: His canon outfit.

Reason for Echo: Witnessing the lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical
What is returned: His Avatar body, a self-sustaining hard light hologram. He won't have a backup, but Cain's computer skills may allow him to eventually keep one himself.

Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability/item/physical?
What is returned: His ability to dissolve/alter his Avatar body for quick disguises and escapes--including travel along energy pathways. This won't come with intuitive knowledge of how to do this, however, just an understanding that he can. Mastering it will take a bit of time and practice--I'd say a week or two in-game?--barring another Echo. I'd like this to come along with Messiah Card 04 within his body, but he won't be aware of it.

-----

Character: Raul Light/Protoman
Reason for Echo: The lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: A record in a paper sheath, with a handwritten label reading "Hope Rides Alone". It only has one track on it.

Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: Protoman's shield, a heavy worn and blasted thing of steel and ceramic plating. He'll recognize the handwriting on it as his.

[drama8om8]

Player: Louise
Character: Octavia Serket
Reason for Echo: The lights in the sky
Type and tier: Tier 2, item/physical
What is returned: The contents of one of Vriska's innumerable loot strongholds (I'm assuming including the rocket boots would be too much, so forget those). It will come complete with the innate troll urge to sleep in piles of things. Especially piles of hard pointy things like this one. Yeah.

Character: Annabel Lyons
Reason for Echo: The lights
Type and tier: Tier 2, item/ability
What is returned: Her 3DMG and knowledge of how to use it, please.

[ursoreckless]

Player: Alec
Character: Shou Chinen/Sho
Reason for Echo: The lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: This photograph of five people taken at night. The photo is old, worn and with some fire damage on the one side, but still intact.


Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory
What is returned: He regains the memory of the night that the photograph was taken, which includes his driving skills being questioned, discussing romance on the dark beach, teasing his friend over the crappy camera he was using, and just hanging out having a good time. This means he will actually get names for the faces at last.

[wannabered]

Player: Levon
Character: Thomas Akagi
Reason for Echo: Seeing all the homemade costumes at the LARP log
Type and tier: tier 1 item
What is returned: Akagi's shitty cardboard AkibaRed costume.


Reason for Echo: the pink lights on 9/21
Type and tier: tier 1 mental
What is returned: Thomas will recall his songs from the Akibaranger soundtrack, these being almost all covers of older sentai songs.

Reason for Echo: Following the buzzing to the towers
Type and tier: tier 2 item/ability
What is returned: The Moe Magnum, Thomas' Akibaranger gun, will be able to open into doll form again, but not able to be used to transform. What it will gain back is its delusion boosting ability. This will be extremely limited and manifest in ways such as a personal soundtrack in an incredibly limited range or being able to pull of physical stunts he previously wasn't able to do, but able to imagine such as backflips. This boost can also not be used without tiring him out.
