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.

Both Echoes approved - please add relevant data to your info post!

[theearth]

Before stamping formal approval, to clarify! Will this be two separate Echoes, in that case, with two separate triggers - one from making it to the tower and one in canon parallel? In that case it ought to do nicely to grant him the stalk eyes from reaching the tower and the Tier 2 Echo associated with Ax's illness from the canon parallel, if it's in line with what you had in mind!

[theearth]

Reaching of corvid-like intelligence by pigeons by April sounds secure - just a last couple of points: how long would you call the plateau in development lasting? Also, we'd like to ensure it's understood that the virus and its effects would leave birds upon crossing the boundary out of Locke City.

[neopianangst]

Player: Gingey
Character: Shinji Ikari
Reason for Echo: seeing the lights
Type and tier: item/ability, tier 2
What is returned: his cello and the ability to play it


Reason for Echo: getting dragged exploring the tower and all that
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: memory of a conversation with Rei where he said he didn't believe in his father and Rei slapped him

[espigeonage]

The plateau would just be it. The next generation will be smarter, but the current ones, birds alive right now who survive the disease, stay at corvid level at best - their behavior might change as they learn things that they are capable of grasping, but they don't get smarter than that.

Totally understood!

[eras]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido!
Reason for Echo: backdated stuff at the larping log; specifically larping with travis, which was new to them since they normally, like. do d&d.
Type and tier: Memory, 1.
What is returned: Team Charge being a thing with Travis. <3 Basically they used to dress up and larp as a team. ...Because they were dorks. So.

Reason for Echo: DJ's creepy puppet post.
Type and tier: Memory, 1.
What is returned: Yeah she found that puppet once before.

[drama8om8]

Player: Louise
Character: Octavia
Reason for Echo: Going to the towers with Homura
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of being proposed to by a weird orange guy, then punching him in the face. It's hard, being the hottest hottie. It's hard and no one understands. 8c

[dorkytracksuit]

Player: Aki
Character: The Psionic
Reason for Echo: The Lights
Type and tier: Second Tier, if acceptable.
What is returned: Memory of flying her Imperial Condescensions ship, specifically the installation process. When he comes out of it I'd like the screaming of his memory to transition to the voices screaming in his head, so that would be the second thing he gets back with the memory.

[counterclock]

Player: u00
Character: Avery
Reason for Echo: SEEING DIRK'S CREEPY FUCKING PUPPET (Lil Cal)
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: Ok it barely needs explaining. Dave's Bro had a sexual puppet fetish. Cal is one of those puppets. Dave eventually gets old enough to realize these puppets are really fucking creepy and flips is shit and never really looks at puppets the same way ever again. I want Dave's unease around puppets.

[shut_up_idiot]

Player: Kim
Character: Youou/Kurogane
Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights
Type and tier: mental/memory, Tier 2
What is returned: Kurogane's temper as it is earlier in the canon, meaning he will have one hell of a anger management problem, and the memory of killing people even though he technically didn't have to.

Reason for Echo: Being called "Big Dog" by Fay who remembers the nicknames Fai used to call Kurogane. This particular one is pretty recurring nickname in the canon after Fai starts using in the fifth world they travel to, and it's the one that annoys him the most.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: That his name is Kurogane.

[show_my_cannons]

Player: Red
Character: Ironhide
Reason for Echo: The Lights

Type and tier:
Physical | Tier 1

What is returned:
The tattoos covering his original form. They include sigils and symbols in Cybertronian. The tattoos run across his knuckles, across his "cheekbones", around his "ears", and in a circle on either shoulder. The facial tattoos can be seen here. The last tattoo... is the Autobot symbol. On his lower back. He won't know what they mean, only that they're extremely embarrassing.

[neonnerd]

Player: Bri
Character: Benjamin Ratchet
Reason for Echo: Seeing the pink lights!
Type and tier: Physical and Tier 1
What is returned: Part of his scanners! Only the X-ray scanner, which means he can see through just about anything with about a twenty foot range. He won't have complete control over it to start, and will have to figure out how to use it - and how to stop it from kicking in when he doesn't want it to.


Reason for Echo: Following the buzzing to the Tuning Towers
Type and tier: Physical, Tier 1
What is returned: His arm buzzsaw, at a much smaller scale than the original form. It will be scaled down in size proportion with the rest of him, and will reside in his arm when not in use. So, although his right arm still appears human, it is now much more robotic in nature.


Reason for Echo: Bumping into Chris and finding out about her robotic arms
Type and tier: Physical, Tier 1
What is returned: A bit of his own robotic self! Specifically, his rescue vehicle sirens.

[boredallready]

Player: Kaito
Character: Lloyd Irving
Reason for Echo: Training with Kratos
Type and tier: Memory/Physical, Tier 2
What is returned: The memory of his first sword training session with Kratos and the physical aspects that went along with it. This would be basic holding and swinging.

Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights in the sky
Type and tier: Item, Tier 1
What is returned: The Daddy Material Blades, which are technically the Eternal Sword split into Lloyd's style of weapon. They will not have special powers now and will only be sharp, functional blades. Lloyd does not have the strength to properly use them yet.

[vetala]

Player: Surge
Character: Kanti Sing (Kanaya Maryam)
Reason for Echo: Looking at the pretty pink lights on Sept. 21st
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Item
What is returned: A strange and heavy tube of lipstick covered in a mysterious purple substance.

(The lipstick folds out into a chainsaw and the strange substance is blood from a rather unfortunate motherfucker.)

[moarnomsplz]

That sounds perfect, thanks!

[peacefulwinter]

Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa
Reason for Echo: [Plot] The pink lights in the sky.
Type and tier: T1: Item
What is returned: Rikka's Cure Lovies, a small golden pin she and the other DDPC girls have. By itself it's largely uninteresting; the pins effectively "choose" a Cure candidate, and they seem to briefly drown in them the first time they're given one. It also has the power to protect its bearer from certain specific ailments caused by Selfishness; namely, it prevents infection by a certain ailment the enemy group gains access to mid-season. Oh, and it's the "key" that lets Rikka transform into Cure Diamond via Raquel. Winter at best will suspect it from past Echoes, and Raquel can't assume the correct form yet anyway. That comes later.

Reason for Echo: [Recurrence] When the fainting spells start later this week, Winter will be experiencing something not unlike a recent event in Rikka's canon - the bad guys develop a tree that plants seeds of selfishness in people's Psyches (hearts), initially causing them to fall into a coma, but later (theoretically) causing them to turn into the monsters Rikka and her team normally fight en masse. The team narrowly evades this fate, as a side effect of a last-minute powerup. Winter herself will be trying to shake her classmates back to full consciousness, to no avail.
Type and tier: T2: Memory + Memory
What is returned: Winter gets two related memories out of this, which are so close I'd call them a single memory, but they're long enough (and notable enough) I'm going to count it as two. She and the rest of her team are watching a report on the TV about mass fainting in town, which turns serious as the girls watch people collapse on the screen, including the reporter, cameraman, and studio newscaster; they're able to see odd black orbs enter the victims just before they collapse. There's a thud behind them; they'd been just about to sit down to dinner with their collective parents and guardians, but all of them have fallen into comas, and no amount of shaking or calling wakes them. While Mana's worrying over her mother, one of the black orbs tries to hit her, which Rikka notices far too late to do anything about... and then her Lovies shines, she shines, and the orb pops. The girls immediately conclude the Loview protected her... and that's all Winter gets to see. She doesn't get any knowledge of what the orbs were or who the other girls were; Rikka was far too busy worrying over her mother to pay them much attention.

Reason for Echo: [Plot] Tuning Towers investigation.
Type and tier: T1: Pet > Power
What is returned: Guess who's going to be able to fly again? Raquel's getting his flight back, and with it his independent movement capacity in general. While he prefers to stay with Winter (as his original did with Rikka), sometimes circumstances dictate he be somewhere either, either to investigate something while she's tied up (usually at school), or when she's afraid he might slip up and betray his decided lack of being inanimate. Winter is much less inclined to let him go off on his own, but if the need arises, she'll let him go off somewhere. Raquel has no way to communicate with Winter while he's away, short of finding a way to dial and use a phone somewhere (or going through another network member). If he tries to leave Locke (or rather, the effect radius from the Tuning Towers), he'll be unsummoned and reappear by Winter's side shortly thereafter, severely disoriented. Anything he was holding drops to the ground, so he can't use this as an out for fetch quests. Raquel also can't carry heavy weights; at most, we're talking a few pounds, maybe fifteen or twenty if he's really pushing it. Raquel's walk speed is about half Winter's; his fly speed is about twice Winter's walk speed; it's magical flight, so there's no visual or auditory tell he's in motion, other than that he's moving, but he still can't go through a storm without either getting blown away or possibly needing repairs. All this information will go into a separate panel on Winter's info sheet for him. (At some point, a certain Echo for Raquel will probably necessitate I turn him into a discrete character combo-apped with Winter. That... will be later.)

[grimmopedia]

Player: Pae
Character: Monroe
Reason for Echo: Pink lights Plot
Type and tier: Physical and Tier two
What is returned: Monroe gets back his sense of smell and his ability to control it.

Reason for Echo: Nick explaining about his new weird power to be able to tell when people aren't human (meaning part of Nick's Grimm abilities.
Type and tier: Mental/memory
What is returned: Monroe remembers what Grimms are.
