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: Snakes in a meeting!
Type and tier: Physical change, Tier 1
What is returned: Beak/tongue/glottis/choana - basically a change to the inside of Julien's mouth and throat.
The roots of his teeth will dissolve so the teeth themselves will shed. In their place something like the hard outer layers of a beak will push up out of his gums. It'll have the same general shape and color as teeth and be deeply grooved in the right places, so it functions the same and at a glance looks like teeth to humans. However it's keratin instead of enamel, less sturdy but also slowly growing. There are particular touch and taste receptors embedded in it.
For the rest, I drew a diagram! On the left is the human formation.
The esophagus and trachea are parted. The trachea can pinch closed or fit itself to the choana, a closeable slit in the roof of the mouth leading to the sinuses and nostrils. Deeper than the choana is a smaller slit leading to the inner ears - birds can "pop" their ears at will to adjust to pressure differences.
The tongue itself becomes longer and less flexible, narrower, bears a bone inside, and is forked in a particular way. If he doesn't extend it all the way or let people examine his open mouth it just looks like he's keeping his tongue narrow. And now he can no longer taste capsaisin. :(
