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: Recurrence - starting to wrestle with identity issues and declaring that damn it, he's himself. On a route distinct from the one I'm taking him from Yuuya gives advice on this which seems to be very personal to him. By the time of the games he seems to have himself figured out.
Type and tier: Memory/knowledge, Tier One.
What is returned: The knowledge that Yuuya's mother is high in the peerage and his father was much lower class. On one side he can trace his ancestry back to pre-flu times, it's "pure", on the other he's not sure of his grandparents. To some people that's important, especially nobility.

...and he rejects the nobility, any place he might have among them, and the whole concept that purity of breeding and who you're descended from so defines your worth. There's a sense that it might have taken a long time to get to that without thinking that he's rejecting his mother and part of himself, and he's had identity issues of his own which he now feels are resolved.

Ultimately, "There's a lot more to worry about than who you are. You are yourself. Never let anyone tie you down."

Hmm. All right, thanks! I'll leave it for another time.
