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.
Backlogged Echoes! 8D
Character: Oswald Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: After being told about this video, Doyle tracked it down and watched it, and seeing a shadow move independently along the wall (where the other one he echoed from was just someone walking into their shadow and disappearing) reminds him of one of the easiest and most common things Umbrael would do with his own shadow. Though he didn't have to enter his own shadow to do it.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: A memory of seeing his own shadow, which is really significant because it was more than his primary weapon - it was like another limb, to him.
More relevant to Doyle, though, - it's really obviously not a human shadow.
Reason for Echo:
berating a kidThis tragically short thread where he talks leadership responsibility and blame with Octavia. This conversation is similar to ones Umbrael had with subordinates he had put in charge - and also himself, at some point. His plans didn't always go as successfully as Octavia's... escape plan, and there were consequences he (or whoever he was talking to) would have to accept, or sometimes plan around.Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: Umbrael, after a long time of not only outliving his fellow kheliosaurs, but watching them die through less natural causes (sometimes at his own claws), started to triage them in his head in terms of who'd be expendable where and when. Doyle's going to start thinking of people this way too - who could be sacrificed if it comes down to it, what kind of losses are acceptable, and developing the kind of detachment required for that.
Reason for Echo: This conversation with Eren where he's bizarrely focused on how Eren insults him, and other nitpicks. This was something he would do to - well, anyone who talked to him and made those little mistakes. He especially liked to do this with anyone backtalking him or trying to oppose him in some way. Well, 'liked' as in it happened more in those cases - it wasn't always a conscious thing. Just one of those 'if you're going to insult me or make an attempt on my life or rule, could you at least do it in a way that isn't embarrassing for both of us?'
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: Some of Umbrael's old irritability re: little things. ... Yeah he's irritable already, but he'll start becoming more irritable.
Happy freaking holidays, Doyle~!
