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: Miles Edgeworth
Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights
Type and tier: Item, tier 1
What is returned: His Steel Samurai action figure, minus the note from
his stalkerits sender. He won't have any clue what it is of but will have an unconscious liking for it and an urge to display it prominently in his office.Reason for Echo: Following the buzzing sound to the Tuning Towers.
Type and tier: mental, tier 1
What is returned: His recurring nightmare of his father's murder.
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence from the tremors that can be felt at the Tuning Towers
Type and tier: mental, tier 1
What is returned: His rather debilitating phobia of earthquakes and anything else that resembles one (like severe turbulence).
Player: Nadia
Character: Takako/Fenrir
Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights
Type and tier: Ability, tier 1? (if it needs to be tier 2, that is fine)
What is returned: Her ability to affect people's dreams.
Since this sounds pretty powerful, let me give the limits to it:
1. She has to be able to see the person (seeing them via one of her demon familiars counts).
2. The person has to be asleep, obviously. This wouldn't work on a creature that doesn't sleep. She will have to be awake to be able to do this (which won't be an issue once she fully regains her inhuman nature)
3. The person has to have the ability to dream.
4. She can only affect what they see in the dream, she cannot hurt the dreamer at all or do anything to help them really, she can only talk to them and affect the overall setting.
5. The dreamer may or may not recall the dream, that is up to player discretion, but they likely won't rest as well and feel unnerved depending on what she made them see.
6. Obviously permission would be needed for this.
7. It will definitely take time before she's very good with altering the setting of the dream.
8. And since canon didn't show her side of it, I'm also going to add in a weakness that she has to fully concentrate on it and will not be aware of her surroundings, making it very easy to sneak up on her.
