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: Julien
Reason for Echo: Recurrence - staking out the new security around the Tuning Towers while trying not to be noticed or caught. Yuuya's done this kind of thing many times and is really, really good at it.
Type and tier: Ability. Tier One.
What is returned: Another element of Yuuya's stealth. Specifically Yuuya's ability to make himself very difficult to notice. I think it's supernatural. We only really get to see him on a stakeout once but he's implausibly good at it, and very able to stalk people.
It doesn't matter that he stands out a little, if he's quiet and unobtrusive he can just sort of... fade into the background, figuratively. He's still completely visible, no one would walk into him, but somehow he seems not worth paying attention to. It works best in a crowd and at some distance, worst - barely at all - if he's close and the only one present. If he speaks or does something conspicuous and someone sees or hears, they notice. If someone who knows him sees him in full view, they notice. He can't use it to escape being cornered or followed without escaping for at least a few minutes first, and it's not invisibility. His scent is not affected.
