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.

Player: Robyn
Character: Lady Une
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art exhibit
What is returned: the ability to make dudes follow her around Her old diplomatic skills so that's gonna be increased intelligence and flirtaciousness, I guess? :)

Increased intelligence/"flirtatiousness" is kind of vague. Can we maybe flesh this out a bit more? Say, an improved knowledge of politics in particular, added charisma in certain situations, etc.? I know what you're getting at sort of but I feel it could be defined better here.

Episode 17 sort of encapsulates it best since it's a huge character shift scene so "flirtatiousness" would mostly be "an increased willingness to invade personal space" as exemplified by how she doesn't hesitate to take the eyeglasses off an ambassador. It's an increase in confidence and risk-taking. As for the intelligence bit, yeah political skill would fit the bill along with having a lot more stock knowledge to break the ice (e. g. Episode 11's episode in Moscow shows her lacking in grace when dealing with the guests at Marquis Weridge's party which contrasts how she better mingles with ambassadors later on in the show. For better mingling, you have to know shit like "Oh right, your homeland. Awesome place. I hear the GDP is blah blah blah pretend I care.").

Alright, the examples really helped, thanks! Echo approved, go on and update your info post.
