Echo Requests (retired)
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.

Character: Chris Starsky / Starscream
Reason for Echo: PRETTY PINK LIGHTS IN THE SKY
Type and tier: Tier 1; ability
What is returned: Chris will suddenly understand chemistry about as well as someone who graduated with an undergraduate degree in inorganic chemistry would. This has the following limitations:
> Organic chemistry? Derp? What do you mean, protein chains? Does not compute. Basically she will understand jack shit about any chemistry having to do with biology.
> Some bits will be related to
dumb cartoons from the 80ssuper-sophisticated alien tech that might not actually function in this universe. Stuff like magic acid baths or... I mean you've seen 80s cartoons.Player: TealDeer
Character: Chris Starsky
Reason for Echo: Following the buzzing noise to Turing Towers
Type and tier: Tier 1; ability
What is returned: Knowledge of advanced physics, including both astrophysics and quantum mechanics, as someone who had gotten an undergraduate degree in said thing. Chris already understands terrestrial physics pretty well, but from an engineering perspective.
With BOTH these things, given that what she's going to know is highly specialized, she probably wont' be able to ACT on the crazier ends of her knowledge without a large amount of specialized (and expensive) (and rare) equipment, of the type that gets you put on terrorist watch lists if you order the parts. For instance, being able to understand the most efficient method of traveling from Mars to Earth, or how to slingshot around a black hole safely, or how to use a particle accelerator? Yeah um, not all that practical.
