Player: Lisa
Character: Danny Fenton
Reason for Echo: the magical pink light show!
Type and tier: tier 1
What is returned: In ghost form only, his organs will basically come to a standstill. He will have no heartbeat or lung functioning, none of that. However, he will continue to breathe, etc. out of subconscious habit.

aaaand NOW LET'S TRY THIS ONE OUT:

Reason for Echo: the tuning towers.
Type and tier: tier 2
What is returned: This is essentially going to be two ability echoes, both of them related to Danny's intangibility. First, he will gain the ability to turn his entire body intangible instead of just bits and pieces, and he will be able to sustain it for longer (maybe a few minutes, tops?), rather than it being a split-second occurrence.

Second, and here's hoping this isn't too much: he will gain the ability to possess people, which is a direct extension of intangibility. There is no physical indication that the person is being possessed, and they only have very vague memories of what happened while they were possessed, as though they weren't paying attention. People can definitely fight it off as well with enough willpower.

It feels like just giving him THE FULL POSSESSION is a bit much though, even for a tier 2, so I'd propose that for now, it's easier than usual to force Danny out altogether, and even while possessing them, characters can still force their own small motions through (say a phrase on their own, make a movement, etc.), although they will still have pretty vague memories of the whole thing. Lastly, I'm going to say that the longer Danny possesses a person, the less control he has over them. Depending on how much they fight and factors like Danny's energy levels, he will lose the ability to control them more and more until the person's actions, speech, etc. are mostly unimpeded. Shortly after that, Danny will simply be forced out of their bodies with a good chunk of his energy sapped (depending on how much the person fought him, etc.) If this is too much, let me know if this whole echo won't fly or if you guys have suggestions to weenify limit it more somehow!

This will only be done with player permission, of course, and I will coordinate with all possessees before Danny makes any significant actions (i.e. anything more than some casual conversation) in their bodies to make sure I don't edge into godmod territory.

Also, he still does not have perfect control over the intangibility. He's gotten better about it through practice, but he still can and will accidentally go intangible at times.
