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.

[handcuff]

Player: Katherine
Character: Kyouya Hibari
Reason for Echo: Touching the statue (twice, on two different occasions)
What is returned:
- Memories of one of the battles from the Kokuyo Land Arc: Gokudera & Hibari vs. Chikusa & Ken partway through Hibari vs. Mukuro (rematch). He'll only remember starting the second fight and not finishing it, though.
- His ability to produce Dying Will Flames. However, he has nothing to channel them into, so he won't be able to use them until later!

[theearth]

What exactly is/are Dying Will Flames, might I ask? First Echo is approved, I'm just curious about the ability involved in the second.

[argents]

wasn't planning on this but it just kind of played out that way... PRETENTIOUS ART REFERENCES, ACTIVATE.

Player: kou
Character: banagher links
Reason for Echo: hanging around in the art gallery! backdated to the 10th when he went with audrey, since we're just now making some headway there. haven't decided if he's going to be dumb and touch a statue yet or if he'll just hang around long enough to produce an echo.
What is returned: BLAM. his memory of the tapestry will be spotty, i.e. he won't know if it's a memory from his childhood or a memory from when he visited the vist foundation mansion with audrey. he will remember the À mon seul désir inscription, though.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.

[hollowleg]

Player: Bat
Character: Hollow Ichigo
Reason for Echo: Shiro decides to go to the art gallery to see if all this shit is for real. It is.
What is returned: Hollow hunger/carnivorousness. Shiro will be hungry almost all of the time to the point of feeling ravenous. Since eating souls is not a thing he can't do (yet), eating raw meat and living animals will abate the hunger for longer periods of time than other kinds of food. His stomach will go through the necessary changes to accommodate eating raw meat. As such he will be puking up the old lining of his stomach along with some blood! YAY!

[theearth]

WHELP THAT SURE WAS A THING I just read.

Echo approved. You think a "nice to meat you" pun would be inappropriate here? Oops, too late.

[entertainaplanb]

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: A spot of canon recurrence, that being: helping someone talk through this weird thing that happened in an effort to get to the bottom of it. (Birds speaking Japanese? Riiiight up the Warehouse's alley.)
What is returned: The feeling that she's done some kind of investigative work before (and, perhaps, an inexplicable urge to go buy some purple gloves).

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura Ryou
Reason for Echo: Playing card games [Magic the Gathering] with a group of plot relevant friends
What is returned: The very end of Kaiba's duel against Pegasus when Kaiba's soul was sealed in a card and that when Yuugi duels Pegasus, his soul also is going to be put on the line. [aka, Card Games are Serious Business]

[theearth]

Is this a retroactive Echo or are you only just getting to that point? I remember Chris (Starscream) posting this up awhile ago, so if you could link me to where this is/was happening, that would be helpful. Unless I'm thinking of something entirely different, but yeah, a link would still be great.

[iaijutsu]

Player: Sam
Character: Hajime Saitou
Reason for Echo: Souji is going to waltz into his place with a cat he found and make Hajime take care of it, which also happened in one of the Hakuouki drama CDs.
What is returned: Stupid useless just for fun Echo of Saitou's disney princess tendencies - he does well with cats and there are a few pieces of official art where birds are sitting on him, which the series artist has also joked about. (He's not enough of a Disney princess to get them to sing back-up in musical numbers, though.)

[theearth]

Echo approved. Go on and update your info post.

ballsack I had to edit grrrr

[comparative_insanity]

Player: Emi
Character: Fai D Flourite
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting (doing this beforehand since I already know what I want to do)
What is returned: Vampire physiology. It will make him faster/more durable/stronger than a normal human, but since he has ZILCH magic at the moment, it will also mean that he's going to need blood to survive. Specifically, Youou's blood. He'll also get the ability to grow razor-sharp, very long claws, but he'll be absolutely unable to control them and will probably ruin a lot of furniture and not much else. OH, and this transformation canonly hurts so much that he'll collapse in a shivering, writhing mess and then black out.

Reason for Echo: This conversation, and most specifically Joshua asking if the Book of Memories steals souls.
What is returned: The memory that no, it captures memories and shows them to the next person. Not that the book still does anything of the sort. It's still a normal book, he just remembers what it'll do once it stops being that.

[theearth]

Both Echoes are approved. Go on and update your info post.

[icy_heavens]

Player: Misty
Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting
What is returned: The knowledge of the "city rules." (Those being: "First, wash your hands when you come back home. Second, no eating food that has fallen on the ground. Third, duel is nothing else but one-on-one.") This is completely useless. He was due for one like this.

[theearth]

Echo approved. Go on and update your info post.

[searchforpeace]

Player: Melon
Character: Mineva Lao Zabi / Audrey Burne
Reason for Echo: Banagher and her were testin' out this whole Newtype business in the midst of the statues at the gallery.
What is returned: As a test, she picked a neutral thing to think about and called Banagher's name. Her last echo made her remember her fall from the Garuda and calling someone's name. This echo will make her remember it was Banagher's name she called as well as being caught by the Unicorn Gundam.

[theearth]

Echo approved!

Now open your eyes, Audrey Burne.

[formermagicalgirl]

Player: Nadia
Character: Takako/Fenrir
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting on the 23rd
What is returned: The second half of her third echo that allows her to use her hair as a weapon of sorts. Basically she now can drain energy without having to actually come in physical contact with it with her skin. It still is going to have the same limits that were approved previously of only working on animals, plants and insects and at most enough to make tired/slightly wither. Also will cover the control issues she's been having like mentioned when the first part was approved since the ability is now complete, though depowered still.

Also, with the memory she got for the first part, just want to add a tiny bit that she knows that while the ability is capable of killing, Fenrir did indeed hesitate at going that far in that particular memory.

Character: Leonhardt
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting with Lina on the 27th.
What is returned: Knowledge of orbments and his canon's technology. Pretty much theoretical and downright useless until he gets more echoes other than the fact that the mechanical and robotic creatures may be something he can recreate an adapted design for in time. See here for some basic info.

[theearth]

Twice the Echo approval! Twice the info page updating! Are you ready for sick deals of this magnitude?!

Well, you'd better be. 'cause that's what you gotta go do now.

[consiliarius]

Player: Rose
Character: Sanosuke Harada
Reason for Echo: Touching one of dem statues in the gallery, oops
What is returned: His Shinsengumi haori (way later than everyone else because that's how I he roll)

[theearth]

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to touch strange foreign objects?

...don't answer that.

Echo approved. Go do info post updating stuff.

[shut_up_idiot]

Player: Kim
Character: Kurogane
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting
What is returned: The memory of Princess Tomoyo. Not all of it, just her name, a vauge recollection of what she looks like and the fact that she is important like omgz(!!!!) for some reason.

Reason for Echo: Fay drinking his blood.
What is returned: "Bait" physiology. Basically boils down to accelerated healing, a very much improved immune system and connecting his life force to Fay's, meaning that as long as Fay lives Youou will not age.

[theearth]

First Echo is approved, but I'll need more details on just how powerful the Bait physiology is, as right now it's seeming a little too much for one Echo.

[entertainaplanb]

Planning ahead for next week/whenever the underground party is.

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: The 'Tesla coil to amuse the kiddies' incident I used as the Network sample in my app. (Thor's mun wants in on this as well, so we haven't set a date beyond 'after Memorial Day.')
What is returned: Her Tesla! ...And that's it; if it has any charge at all, she'll promptly waste it trying to figure out what the damn thing does.

Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting scheduled for the 30th.
What is returned: Some of her accuracy re: aiming a gun (so that if and when she needs to fire one she'll feel a little safer doing so).

Reason for Echo: Attending the underground party, whenever that happens.
What is returned: A snip of a memory - a woman unboxing a machine, a little discussion of past life experiences, someone comparing it to something he read online about Russell Crowe. (Mostly because that last part amuses me.) Still no context of where this is or who these people are... other than possibly a vague feeling that there's something familiar about the woman's face, but Becky won't be able to place it.

[theearth]

Seven Echoes all together is a little too much, given that Becky hasn't been in the game long. I'll give you two of your choice from that list, with the future stipulation that you need to slow down slightly with the rate she's picking them up.

Also, I generally don't approve Echoes quite that far in advance (and with the underground shenanigans still up in the air), so I'd be putting this on hold until we get closer to stuff actually happens.

[steelettos]

for the plot ahead!!

Player: sele
Character: lenalee lee
Reason for Echo: hanging out in the art gallery
What is returned: the layout of the new headquarters. she'll know it's a church and she lived there, haha but not why she lived there or the use and owners of the different rooms and floors.

Reason for Echo: vermedi sighting on the 27th (she's going with leonhardt)
What is returned: the innocence's ability to invoke through lenalee's emotions. its initial abilities (high jumping and enhanced speed, nothing transonic/supersonic since that's for much later) will also come with it but lenalee will have a really, really, really hard time gauging and controlling its power without the memories of how to use them so... a lot of bruises, falling and slamming into walls and people (and possible vomiting due to sudden motion sickness) are on its way.

[theearth]

First Echo is approved. Second Echo's abilities will be slow to start, as noted, and then build gradually up to GOTTA GO FAST. Feel free to ping a mod if you're unsure of when to upgrade it along. Maybe Colette can give you some tripping advice?

Anyway, go update your info post with the relevant info.

[hollowleg]

Player: Bat
Character: Shiro Nakamura (Hollow Ichigo)
Reason for Echo: Vermedi encounter on the 30th!
What is returned: TIME FOR SOMETHING USELESS. These pajamas. They're very comfy!!

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.

[reckless_fire]

Player: Sylver
Character: Kazuma
Reason for Echo: Tadashi's intro post (since the app's been accepted)
What is returned: The memory of his first meeting with Kimishima.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien/Yuuya!
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence. Julien's left the game area to attend a wedding and will be back in a few days, regaining everything then. He'll then realize there's a pretty painless way to not be a part of this whole confusing mess - he could just leave - and that will be a quandary. Eventually he'll decide to stay.

The option to unnaturally forget something that's painful to him came up in canon. Yuuya rejected it instantly, treating it as a huge deal when pressed. He can't change the past or his actions in it, and the least he can do is remember. Even though that gives him pain, that pain is part of him. He chooses to remember, always. (sorry, Yuuya, you'll remember again one day. But not yet.)
What is returned: A pigeon heart. ...Scaled up to fit his body, so he doesn't die. And I guess relevant vein and artery alterations so different pressures and so on don't cause complicated medical issues.

Proportionally a pigeon's heart is more than twice the mass of a human's, more muscular, designed somewhat differently. It's more efficient, pumping more blood per beat, and it's slower at a resting rate, but better at beating faster for a long period of time.

...not gonna have much effect on Julien for now, have to say. It'd help him be a better athlete, especially combined with bird lungs, but he's not exactly called upon to be an athlete, so far. I'm building up cumulative stuff.

[theearth]

The pigeon heart doesn't really seem to have anything to do with the reason listed for the Echo. Can you expand upon this a bit more?

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: Posting to the forum
What is returned: A paperweight palantir. Specifically, the one from Orthanc. It doesn't work -- it's just a really heavy, rather pretty globe.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.

[seriallylucky]

Possibly I should request Echoes when I sign up for Echo-granting things, yes?

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting
What is returned: Low-level sword skills; I'm thinking roughly equivalent to what he has at the beginning of his part of canon, when he's level 5, but there's nothing to really compare with real-world stuff and I'm willing to be flexible.

Reason for Echo: Meeting the Sage of Earth (whenever that happens)
What is returned: Spire Psynergy, aka "drop a rock on it". I'm willing to tone it down from the man-sized stalactite presented in the canonical animation, just say how much.

[theearth]

Vermedi sighting is granted, but we'll be granting Sage-related Echoes once we draw closer to that point in time since details are a bit hazy right now. Putting that on hold for the time being.

[orumad]

Player: Sheena
Character: Dawn Summers/Dahlia Silver
Reason for Echo: Statue exhibit! Just re-read the info. She'll go for the two touches, since the original info post says that the touch and hanging around don't stack. Which makes her second Echo that much more perfect. Take the risk? Pay the price. xD
What is returned:
1 a memory: feelings of hopelessness/despair and laying on train tracks to die, so that she would be loved and remembered after death (from the episode Him;
2 physical: a broken left arm (from the episode Wrecked; it seems a bit random, but I think it would be effective because a, she was already hesitant to seek out more of these 'Extras', and b, it'll make her that much more determined to figure out what the jfkaldf is going on)

[theearth]

First Echo is approved, and I suppose you could give her a broken arm if you wanted to, but... from my perspective, a meaningful memory or object would work just as well in motivating someone. A broken arm is also going to put her out of commission for more of the active plot-related things for a bit.

Like I said, it's up to you, but I'd personally recommend going with something less hindering.

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: He and Alata will be encountering a Vermedi on the 28th.
What is returned: Undead senses/reflexes. I'm listing them together because all the enhanced senses do is allow him to react to things more quickly than a human would. There's no super-vision or super-hearing or anything like that; just better reaction time. For a canon example of the level of reaction time/these senses are awesome I'm thinking of, at one point, someone throws an octopus at the back of his head and he's able to catch it without looking up because he sensed the attack from behind (helps that he was being yelled at at the time). He's not infallible, and it's still quite possible to land a hit on him.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Go on and update your info post.

[flamberge]

Player: Olga
Character: Kratos Aurion
Reason for Echo: Vermedi sighting on the 24th
What is returned: The memory of eating Raine's cooking (from a z-skit). In it, he tries a bit of her food, comments that "it's...flavorful and...has a remarkable texture. I've never eaten anything like this before." and then has to cast First Aid on himself because it's so foul. The memory will leave Karl feeling slightly sick to his stomach afterwards.

[theearth]

A+ Echo, would approve again. Go on and update your info post and uh, watch out for any suspicious cooking there, bro.

[struckout]

Player: Andyouwin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Mulling over the fact that people's Echoes often come from the things trying to kill them, during the conversation here.
What is returned: The memory of a very similar situation, conversation, and state of confusion. From here until everyone starts to wander off.

[theearth]

I seriously did not get the Andyouwin = Anduin connection until now. I feel like a clod.

Echo approved, but only if you promise not to come here and laugh at me. :'(

[unfearing]

Player: Liv
Character: Hijikata Toshizou
Reason for Echo: Forum reply.
What is returned: Continuing to phase shift back into a vampire samurai, he's beginning to feel stronger than normal.

Character: Euphie
Reason for Echo: Forum thing.
What is returned: A memory of her brother, Schneizel, and a strange conversation she can't quite parse yet about Areas and a bunch of proper nouns she doesn't understand out of context.

Character: Amaimon
Reason for Echo: He's about to get the life stabbed out of him by Souji.
What is returned: As this is a commonplace thing in Blue Exorcist canon, being killed within an inch of his life is going to trigger a weak form of his demon regeneration. Just enough to keep him from bleeding out and mend his wounds over a few weeks rather than being totally dead.

[theearth]

All three Echoes are approved. Just so you know, you don't need to request Echoes for strength boosts of a gradual nature; you can just manage those yourself, after the initial Echo.

That being said, go on and update your info post.

[controlsdesire]

Player: Knight
Character: Shuji Kiyokumi / Eiji Hino
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the gallery for over an hour.
What is returned: A Tyranno medal corresponding to the legs of OOO's PuToTyra form.

However! I want him to receive the medal in a strange way. During the course of the series, the purple medals are primarily (possibly even exclusively, I can't remember off the top of my head) kept inside of his body, because they attach to his lack of desire and begin changing him into a Greeed. He's a perfect vessel in which they can develop. So, receiving this medal, I would like it to be kept inside his body as the other purple medals are. Receiving only one will not allow for a noticeable change or give him any powers, but it's a slow build up to him getting more of them later on which would start making him mentally unstable. Also, it would give him a strange scent that might make other characters wary of him.

I'm providing a clip of when he canonly receives his medals in the series here. You can see the initial effects he suffers when housing multiple core medals.

[theearth]

Echo is approved and may be undertaken as requested. Go on and update your info post with the appropriate information.
