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.

[eras]

Player: Lucy.
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido.
Reason for Echo: Vriska's full-on quirk.
Type and tier: Memory 1.
What is returned: This conversation ("0h b0y thats way t00 many of the same letter in a r0w twice" is a legitimate summary of all Vriska conversations ever right?)

[wonk]

Player: g-man
Character: Roxy Kurosawa
Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers visit
Type and tier: Tier Two Ability
What is returned: Intangibility and invisibility.

[unimpressive]

Player: Alex
Character: Vyse/Vaughn Inglebard
Reason for Echo: A conversation about a space station on a silver moon
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: He remembers visiting the Great Silver Shrine, though not how or why, or even what it's called.

[destinedforrock]

Player: Blue
Character: Cinderella (Rarity)
Reason for Echo: Witnessing Thomas Akagi showing off his recent Echo: ability to break into a musical number complete with accompaniment - a thing which a certain fourth-wall-blind friend of Rarity's was known and acknowledged for tending to do!
Type and tier: Mental - Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of all of the sounds - but none of the sights - of the Giggle at the Ghostie scene.

Reason for Echo: The sign of the emblem on Banagher's helmet - the first sight she's had of what a unicorn would look like, and a grandly-executed one at that.
Type and tier: Mental - Tier 1
What is returned: Simple knowledge of unicorns as lived in Equestria; they were ponies with horns and magical abilities, notably including telekinesis.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Monroe getting the knowledge of Grimms back and explaining them to Nick
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: The canon memory of the first time he asked Monroe about Grimms

[reapsthewind]

Player: Teal Deer
Character: Chris Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: PLANE CRASH. This mirrors the opening of the first episode of The Transformers, when the Autobots and Decepticons crash their space ship onto the planet Earth.

Log is here and it's pretty much a life-or-death situation.

Type and tier: Physical/Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: Chris' legs from the hip down will turn into metal, just like her arms. She will also temporarily gain the ability to fly, just long enough to get everyone who needs it safely to the ground and clear of the crash.

Unfortunately, this will come with a much heavier energy requirement than she currently has, which means she's going to get steadily weaker over the next month, until she ends up bedridden -- unless someone figures out how to either supply her limbs with an auxiliary power source, or create Energon. She will also, obviously, not have enough energy to fly after the incident, just like she doesn't have enough energy to power her guns.

hello friends i'm here again

Player: Caz
Character: Jason
Reason for Echo: Screwing around near the Tuning Towers to see what's up with that buzzing
Type and tier: tier 1; would this be physical or mental idk
What is returned: the munchies. all the time. the coffee give him it. the creme cakes he will eat them. he is an ingestion machine and none can stop him. what a good echo.

AND

Player: Caz
Character: Jason
Reason for Echo: He is literally in a burning crashing plane, which reminds him of that one time when he was literally in a burning crashing plane
Type and tier: tier 1; memory
What is returned: [spoilers for a six year old game] The memory of holding onto an old-fashioned airplane control wheel, while everyone and their mother screams behind him, and the sea approaches fast. They're in a nosedive. Weirdly, he doesn't remember being particularly scared.

Two for the price of two!

[truthandlogic]

Player: Nadia
Character: Miles Edgeworth
Reason for Echo: Going back to the Tuning Towers to confirm if his reaction was due to the nightmare or the tremors, which would cause a canon recurrence when he ends up with a reaction due to his phobia.
Type and tier: memory, tier 1
What is returned: The memory of him talking with Maya and Phoenix in the detention center and then an earthquake hits and he reacts badly. He'd vaguely hear Maya's comments on his reaction and know that for him what she found to be a bit overboard is actually mild for him.

If need be because I brain farted and forgot that the reaction to the phobia would also be a canon recurrence (it does happen three times in canon, two of which have some pretty crappy results for him), I can also have this just be a delayed one for the first visit, or change that to a tier 2 with this being the second part. I'm flexible since that was my blunder, but there is also room to say this doesn't come the first time since the fear he felt was a bit different and left him with some room to doubt the cause of the reaction he had.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Player: Eric
Character: Marisa Kirisame
Reason for Echo: Approaching the source of the buzzing sound
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory
What is returned: Marisa recalls flying after the mysterious flying palanquin ship.

[femmefashionaire]

Player: Braysl
Character: Pia Yeboah-Markos
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the Tuning Towers too much
Type and tier: Tier One: physical
What is returned: The addition of her Drinker Teeth, sharp canine teeth used for drinking blood (however her lust for the taste of blood won't be returning yet). As seen here and here.

[schild]

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Tuning Towers exploration adventures!
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Some bits of chapter 47-49, the memories of being chased by the Scouting Legion (with Bertholdt and Eren on his shoulder.) He won't remember any of the reasons why, but at least now he'll finally remember what the Armored Titan looks like.

[drama8om8]

Player: Louise
Character: Octavia
Reason for Echo: Roxy mentioning the Condesce
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: Knowledge that Octavia's past self also lived on a planet ruled over by Her Imperious Condescension.

[ex_elude798]

Player: Ren
Character: Suzaku Kururugi
Reason for Echo: Tuning Tower Time
Type and tier: Memory + Item, Tier 2
What is returned: Suzaku remembers piloting the Lancelot (a giant mecha) in combat and the name of his opponent - someone called Kallen. This gives him a good view of the cockpit of the Lancelot and a view of the red machine he was up against. Afterward, he has the key that was used to activate the robot he was piloting.

[ex_purity762]

Player: Ren
Character: Clear / Pierce Asher
Reason for Echo: Pink Lights
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: After seeing that light in the sky, Pierce gets the strange tendency to forgo doors entirely - in favor of clambering through windows or getting on rooftops. Safe? Absolutely not. Sensible? Heck no, but once upon a time he always did that.

[chalicejoker]

Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: The pink light on September 21
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: Partial regain of Joker's instincts. When he's not in his Joker form or presented with a monster attack of some sort, Hajime will be slightly more competitive and aggressive, which he will likely just think is the result of stress. It will become difficult for him to resist changing to Joker when presented with a possible fight, and once he's in that form, he runs a very high risk of going berserk while consumed with a desire for battle. If he's already in the Joker form for whatever reason, same rules apply--he'll have a much shorter fuse than usual.

Because this is a partial regain, it'll be possible, though difficult, to snap him out of it as long as he has his Two of Hearts card. (Without it, he's pretty well screwed.) Once he becomes aware of the issue, he'll also be able to try resisting the instincts, with his rate of success varying depending on who's with him, what he's doing, that sort of thing. (If he's with, say, his sister and they're attacked by a Vermedi, he'd go berserk on the monster more quickly than if it were some random guy getting attacked, but conversely, she'd have a much easier time snapping him out of it than a random other person would.) Resisting the instincts to change and fight for too long without getting away from whatever's setting him off will also have the effect of making him physically ill--fever, aches and pains, that sort of thing.

Character: Arthur Curry
Reason for Echo: He'll be visiting Tuning Towers to investigate!
Type and tier: Physical, Tier 1
What is returned: He'll be getting back his need for water every couple of hours. Basically, he'll dehydrate very quickly, and he will die if he's not regularly exposed to it. Freshwater or saltwater doesn't matter, it just has to be water.

am i doin this right

[synonymouswithdookie]

Player: Ryo
Character: Ray Zimmerman
Reason for Echo: Everybody and their grandmothers talking about ALIEN INVASIONS. LIKE THIS.
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: his PAK. He'll have no way to attach it or know what to do with it or anything but hey, it'll make a nice doorstop.

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Parallel - being quarantined in a derelict abandoned house in the Dead District quite similar to the derelict abandoned house in Tyrol that he slept in.
Type and tier: Mental, 1.
What is returned: The memory of the derelict old house in Tyrol that he used as his sleeping area.

Before we stamp approval on this, what might the limitations on both abilities be - most specifically, will either state need to be actively-maintained, or will they work by figurative on-and-off switch?
