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.

Fair enough, though I was thinking of something physical to show for it.

Instead, the memory of the banishing spell from Conversations with Dead People? With maybe the phantom sensations of something fighting against her (the 'spirit' she's banishing scratches her face, throws her around a bit, and bloodies her mouth). She wouldn't have the actual physical injuries, but the feeling of them with the memory.

What most people do for more physically-oriented Echoes are more cosmetic changes -- things like scars, different colored eyes, or else things that look different and impact the character significantly, but don't prevent the character from, say, rushing into a pack of werewolves. Not naming any names, of course.

That would also work! Or, again, you could give her the scratches in addition to the memory... just a bloodied mouth... really, Echoes are intended to be flexible. You can take certain bits and pieces from a scene you like and get creative with it, so long as you don't add too much to the Echo. You can check some previously approved Echoes for examples.

I'm mostly just rattling this off since you're new and I wanted to make clear how the system functions, so I hope it was of some help to you. Or maybe I'm just obnoxious and like hearing myself talk type. Whatever you'd like to do, be it the memory/feeling or the injury, is approved, so go for it.
