Echo Requests (retired)

[theearth]

New Echo Request page here!

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.

Sweet! Now can I be really cheeky and request the same thing on a slower time scale for her starting to work through the pile of notes she got from her last life? Just, have her start learning the basics of magic over the next few months?

That ought to be acceptable! For clarification firstly for the purposes of tracking what she's already got at her disposal, what ought she be capable of once that process has completed?

I figure this will have to be pretty carefully handled to not be just free unlimited echoes, but Marisa's magic is based on painstaking research more than natural talent, So here's my proposal:

The immediate effect is that improved technique will mean she'll waste less energy when using her powers, so they'll start to be more powerful and less tiring. Over the long term, she'll be able to start researching and mastering spells and abilities from her past life. Rather than just giving her old abilities willy nilly, though, I'll take opportunities where she COULD have gotten an echo, and instead say "She mastered a new spell!" so that she's not getting her abilities the same way as everyone else, but she's still getting them at more or less the same rate.

Does that sound fair?

Indeed - this is, as well, approved; please update your info post accordingly!
