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.

It occurs to me, knowing the ending I can ask for this before we get to the recurrence in-thread...

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: His mother getting transformed and then dying
In canon, Felix's parents and the man who later becomes his sister's father-in-law get turned into a three-headed dragon and forced to fight the party. Afterward they de-transform and everyone knows who and what they are, and as far as the party's healers can tell they're dying with no way to help. There is some reason to believe (though no way to be sure) that Felix knows he's facing his parents, and does it anyway in order to save the world. So what's recurring here is the experience of a) having a transformed parent and then b) that parent being, for all intents and purposes, dead.
What is returned: A determination to save the world, regardless of the cost. (This does not mean that he'll be particularly more effective; with only low-level skills and no significant information about the threat, there's not a lot he'll be able to do. But it will mean that he'll be ICly more interested in getting involved and Doing Something.)
