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.

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Snake statue encounter with Lyall
Type and tier: Physical change. This might count as Tier 2.
What is returned: Birdlike bones and a bursa of fabricius. His skeleton keeps its shape and configuration, but much of it is pneumatized, hollow and reinforced with struts. The air sacs coming off of his lungs fill some and invade most of the rest. Bones are more calcified, harder but also more brittle.

The bursa of fabricius is an internal organ that produces blood cells. His remaining bone marrow isn't quite up to maintaining the supply. Of course, what it produces are pigeon red and white blood cells. ...We'll say that the heart change back in the mines came with the ability to handle those.

Air sacs stretch out into the provided spaces, which brings him up to four times the air capacity that he had as a human and reduces his weight by several pounds. ...retroactively he's also been losing more water as vapor with each exhalation than any human, still lacks bird systems for reclaiming that water, and this will make that worse. I hate learning bird things late. And over a couple of months human blood cells will all be replaced with bird ones, which are significantly more efficient; he'll breathe and have his heart beat more slowly, will be able to survive far greater amounts of blood loss, and have a stronger immune system.
