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: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: (1) Meeting the Sage and (2) bat-trap.
What is returned:
(1) An additional 25% of his regenerative ability.
(2) Hypnotism. From his app:

He is able to put a person or an animal in a trance. While in the trance, he can make simple demands, like retrieving the newspaper from outside. He cannot make complicated demands, like filling out the crossword section. Depending on the person, some actions may or may not constitute as complicated. For example, someone who is comfortable with driving will drive under his order, but someone who is still learning will not because there’s more thought that goes into the action for them.

He must make eye contact to hypnotize someone/something.

The first Echo is approved!

However, while the second also seems reasonable, for further clarity's sake, is there a certain time limit on the trance? Does it weaken under prolonged eye contact? Or does it hold as long as Alexander maintains it?

[amberhearted]

I've never set a hard time limit on the trance's duration. The longest he personally has ever held a trance over someone was a little less than an hour. The trance's duration and strength isn't static; theoretically, it will grow stronger the older Alex becomes and the more he uses it. I think, in the scope of this game, the latter would have much more of an effect than the former (unless we get a time skip or summat.)

It does not weaken under prolonged eye contact. It holds for however long Alex maintains it. When he first started using it, he had to maintain eye contact to maintain the trance. After nine months using it to hunt, he was able to maintain the trance without being present.

Got it! I apologize for the inconvenience.

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

No inconvenience at all! Thanks much.
