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: Jeff
Character: Calvin Kent (Clark Kent)
Reason for Echo: Plot-related, encountering snakes at a group meeting.
Type and tier: Ability, tier 2
What is returned:
First Tier: Calvin will gain back some of his preincarnation's Kryptonian physiology and ability to absorb and store solar energy. His senses will become slightly sharper, his body will become slightly stronger and tougher and he'll have more stamina from being able to absorb solar energy, but none of this will be particularly absurd by human standards.
Second Tier: A low level of heat vision. He'll be able to release concentrated bursts of solar energy in the form of beams fired from his eyes. The toughness of his eyes will dramatically increase to be able to withstand the heat, but still only to the point where he'll only be able to use the ability offensively for very short bursts.

Reason for Echo: Plot-related, confronting a group of Blood Keys who roughed up Arthur's grandmother.
Type and tier: Ability, tier 1
What is returned: A low level of super speed. He'll be able to run and jump at supersonic speeds for short bursts and his reaction time will increase appropriately. His body's durability will increase slightly to handle the stress of moving at supersonic speeds, but using it in more than short, concentrated bursts will still put more stress on him than he'll be able to handle.

Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence caused by getting shot at by Blood Keys in the aforementioned confrontation because, come on, what'd they expect to happen?
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: A memory of him seeing a really big military jet about to shoot him with a very big gun, then him leaping out of the way as fast as possible to avoid being shot. (Seen here starting at the 0:10 mark). In the linked log, this will have a muscle memory sort of effect, instinctively triggering the realization that he can move at supersonic speeds.
Edited (Added another echo, changed it to the tier 2, everything's kind of changed as a result.) 2014-01-26 01:14 (UTC)
