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.

Got it - and with that both Echoes are now approved! Apologies for the inconvenience and please update your info accordingly.

[shiromadoushi]

Kinda, yeah. He jokingly told a zoned out person to tip well, not expecting anything to come of it and they did. So he's kinda having a very alarmed moment there. the thread in question.

It's kinda a "this is not a power someone should have holy crap what" moment.

[theearth]

Got it - with that, another Echo approved! Please update your info post accordingly!

[toobig]

Thank you! I hope I clarified them enough, I wasn't sure when you wrote "second" twice haha.

[gainingmomentum]

Player: Wingus
Character: Walter Westerfeld/Wally West
Reason for Echo: Reports of the Dead District bombings.
Type and tier: Power/ability & mental/memory, Tier 2.
What is returned: Memories of a city being attacked out of the blue, with the target being a questionable organization. As for powers, his super-speed - though I assume he'll only be able to get a fraction of it at first, but I'm unsure what would be a good limit for it.

[wannabered]

Player: Levon
Character: Thomas Akagi
Reason for Echo: Nearly dying during an encounter with a stone snake during an exploration of the dead district with Hajime and Bakura.
Type and tier: tier 2: item & memory
What is returned: Memories of being flown into the sun and dying and the figurine used in his memorial.

[steinsgatehaschosen]

Player: Prof
Character: Chris/Rintarou Okabe
Reason for Echo: Tinkering around with a busted microwave to try and get it working again.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Building the Phonewave, and the fact that it would eventually become a time machine, but not the crucial missing steps necessary to turn it into a time machine.

[steinsgatehaschosen]

For clarity: The Phonewave is a remote-controllable Microwave that can be turned on from a distance by calling a specific cellphone number.

[songoftimeandtimeagain]

Player: Zackary
Character: Luke
Reason for Echo: A large fake spider dropping onto his head while shopping for Halloween decorations.
Type and tier: Memory Tier 1
What is returned: Vague memories of Kokiri Village, and more vivid ones of the Deku tree, mostly the fight with the ceiling dropping mega spider Gohma.

[argents]

WRONG JOURNAL but not entirely, at least not ones she felt like she was such a part of, but if it's too much of a stretch i'm fine without it!

[alderaanda]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Nat/Tash
Reason for Echo: Recurrence, after this conversation with Toushiro. Tash experienced the Force as having a constant presence and, in moments of greatest despair, a voice.
Type and tier: Ability...? Tier 1.
What is returned: The vague sense of a constant, utterly inhuman presence, vast as the sky, impersonal. It links up to her existing weak Force abilities, so if she pays attention she will know that her hunches and so on come from it, but it doesn't seem to acknowledge most of what she says or does. If she ever gets into a particular state of despair she may perceive it as speaking to her, but this is things like "You're not alone, Tash. You're never alone."

[amberhearted]

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Encounter with one of the bipedal, pink snake statues.
Type and tier: Item/Item, tier 2.
What is returned: His House Evandros-issued 1) set of guard armor and 2) sword (in its sheathe.)

[healspec]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra
Reason for Echo: This thread, where he attempts to use his healing ability as a diagnostic tool
Type and tier: Skill | Tier 1
What is returned: The ability to...use his magic as a diagnostic tool, lmao. Basically functions like a sonogram, but with magic.

[shiromadoushi]

Player:Fran
Character:Bakura
Reason for Echo: Talking with Toushirou about names that are blocked from being known for a reason
Type and tier: Memory/1
What is returned: the knowledge that the pharaoh from his memories had his name erased [and is just known as the Nameless Pharaoh in modern time] and that the lost name is important.

[doomedtheworld]

Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa
Reason for Echo: Seeing the explosions on the 23rd
Type and tier: Memory/Ability Tier 2
What is returned: Seeing the smoke and fire from the explosions will bring back her memory of Scadrial's environment, ash falling from a sky filled with clouds of black smoke and the red sun. I didn't think of this when writing her app but, if it's okay, the ability part would basically be the lung capacity of somebody adapted to that world. In other words, a boost in lung capacity and the ability to breathe easily in smoke and gas (unless said gas is also an irritant like, say, tear gas, or has some other effect). She won't know she has this until actually exposed to a situation where she'd realize it.



Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa
Reason for Echo: Snake fight with Alex and Banagher when the thread moves there.
Type and tier: Skill/Tier 1
What is returned: Is it too early to ask for her power upgrade in pewter? If so, just a measure of skill in using Steelpushing in a fight. Both in accuracy and movement.

[theearth]

Apologies for the delay on this - but as one last bit of clarification, would Ezreal and Lux specifically have interacted with this sort of dynamic in canon? If so we shall have this stamped at once.

[theearth]

That icon appears rather apropos for the viewing of such a memory.

...That said Echo approved - please update your info post accordingly!

Yes. Lux and Ezreal in canon are quite close (it's strongly implied but not confirmed that they are in fact in a relationship which we are using as canon for our purposes). Ezreal in personality is very rough and tumble, Lux is very upper crust so there is naturally going to be some friction in their interaction on that point.

[theearth]

Both Echoes approved (the latter for pewter)! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[theearth]

Understood and Echo approved; thanks muchly for your patience, and please add relevant data to your info post!
