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.

LAST ECHO REQUESTS FOR A WHILE

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: um everything in that D&D game is basically his life -- but specifically, this time, it's the idea of noble, immortal Elves.
What is returned: The ability to read, speak, and write Elvish languages.

Reason for Echo: Participation in the werewolf hunt!
What is returned: The first part of his fighting skills! He'll be a moderately good fighter, above average but nothing special.

Also, a question. Will you ping me when it's OK for me to start getting echoes again, or should I just ask you, "hey, I think this would ping him, is the cap off yet?"

[earnedmystripes]

Player: Batty
Character: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi
Reason for Echo: Werewolf shenanigans, specifically jumping in to protect someone else
What is returned: The burn scar on his shoulder from taking Lunatic's firebolt for Barnaby

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[kingside]

Player: Lina
Character: Lelouch vi Britannia | Brendan Blake
Reason for Echo: Statue touching here (errr, soon)
What is returned: Pretty purple eyes. Because pretty purple eyes. Entirely useless except for looking pretty and probably giving Brendan a minor heart attack when he figures it out.

[redelivers]

Player: Liv
Character: Toshizou Hijikata
Reason for Echo: Saitou's about to attack him with a sword in the werewolf hunting log.
What is returned: His werevampzombie fighting reflexes, because or else he's definitely going to lose that arm. This would be the first bit of his past life powers he'd be regaining.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky
Reason for Echo: Gettin mad 'bout Casval's shitty leadership :V
What is returned: Chris has never been tolerant of incompetent leadership, but now she's going to be even less so, and, beyond that way less tolerant of other people leading in general. She's going to start jumping at people and trying to let them put HER in charge.

fOOOOOLS

[theearth]

Since you would presumably be getting an Echo from the werewolf interaction as well, I'm going to have to cap you at either this or the future one later in the thread. Three Echoes in one plot mission, especially two occurring very, very close together, is starting to push it.

[theearth]

Approved!

[kingside]

NO NEVER YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME

[reapsthewind]

I actually wasn't going to go for a werewolf interaction one? But okay. I can leave this one behind.

Chris is actually pretty belligerent about leaders without it being compulsive anyway.

[theearth]

Sorry, not sure how I missed this one! Both Echoes are approved.

As for the Echoes cap, it's more of a soft one at this point in time; use your best judgment is the current rule, though we'll probably be elaborating more on this soon.

If you really need an estimate, I'd say maybe a week and a half to two. Not too long, but enough so that other characters have time to catch up.

[theearth]

Might I suggest she have this Echo occur at the time of the werewolf interaction? Or you could replace it with another you'd prefer instead, also at that time.

[reapsthewind]

Werewolf interaction works!

[theearth]

You got it! Echo approved, in this case.

Hint: Casval's not-so-superb leadership will probably be a lot more apparent by then, anyway.

[reckless_fire]

Player: Sylver
Character: Kenji Kobayashi/ Kazuma
Reason for Echo: Learning Kung Fu from Shen
What is returned: Basic fighting skill/muscle memory. Again, he'll feel this is all very familiar, but no specific memories of fighting.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

[consiliarius]

Player: Rose
Character: Sanosuke Harada
Reason for Echo: Werewolf Hunting! And his fun fighty times in it that include wielding some debris in the vague form of a spear.
What is returned: His knowledge of spearmanship so he can actually fight like a professional in the future and not die.

welp I finally get to use this icon

[northless]

Player: Effy
Character: Robb Stark
Reason for Echo: Une patching him up in her apartment post-werewolf fight, and then things just...explode. And not in the Michael Bay way.
What is returned: Jeyne Westerling...comforting him, back at the Crag.

[theearth]

Approved!

Please remember to update your info post.

And I still have no idea what's actually happening in it.

[theearth]

Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Stark?

Approved! Please remember to update your info post.

And as discussed, please mark and cut your explosions appropriately so some of us don't get accidentally Not Michael Bay'd at work.

[theearth]

This reason is kind of vague, in that Echoes of this nature should really only be caused by very specific similarities to the characters' past life. Subtly helping people is kind of mundane, and probably not enough unless it's especially reminiscent of a particular instance. Likewise, what is returned should also be directly related to the cause, but... I'm not really seeing the connection here as is.

[abidan]

Oh right! I totally missed the cause-to-item part. Many apologies for that - a dumb moment on my part. I'll rethink it, then, and maybe wait until the next event.

Sorry to be a bother. :')
