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: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Inspiring Alan to take his powers seriously and fight for those who don't have the strength to do the same (This is an echo to a similar conversation Reiner has with Eren, where he talks to Eren about the importance of being a soldier and fulfilling his duty, which in turn inspires him to take his training more seriously.)
What is returned: The memory of the original speech itself, as well as the fact that he was a soldier (though not what kind or anything specific)
Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Bertholdt's name
What is returned: The memory of the fact that he knew someone named Bertholdt, at least as a child.
Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Tap water event
What is returned: Fond memories of his training days, and the fact that he had lots of friends back then. (If you wanna get specific, he remembers long days of training and bonding with the guys at dinner, that sort of thing.) No specific names or faces stick out other than happy feelings.

However, a name alone may not elicit a strong enough response to trigger an Echo - hearing it presented in a specific way or context that would remind Reiner of the original Bertholdt or meeting Bertholdt in person, on the other hand, would almost definitely.
