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: g-man
Character: Roxy Lalonde
Reason for Echo: Meeting Thad in person and spending time with him, here.
What is returned: A memory of her old home, populated by a species of alien she can't identify.

Reason for Echo: Meeting DJ in person
What is returned: Roxy's cat, Vodka Mutiny, will develop an extra set of eyes.

I figure each of these should count as a separate Echo,but if they don't count separately, then I'll just take the colony memory.

The first Echo is approved!

Before we stamp the second, however, may we have clarification on the link between the cause and the proposed Echo?

[wonk]

In Roxy's old home, she often experimented with the science of ectobiology, which involves cloning with genetic samples collected through time travel. Errors in this process resulted in her owning several mutated cats. Dirk(DJ) was from this same future, and was a close friend of Roxy.

While I have you here, I'd like to clarify something: does an Echo returned by a canon recurrence have to be directly related to the recurrence, or not? I've been a tad unclear on this since I apped Roxy.

[theearth]

Of course, and apologies for the lack of clarity - an Echo caused by a past-life parallel indeed ought to return something that a character would be "reminded" of by the occurrence.

That said, would Roxy have solid memory of Dirk being around her cats? If so it'd be good to go - if not, an alternative Echo should be preferable, as the mutation of Roxy's cat is a tad specific as a memento of the world that she and DJ are reincarnated from.

No, actually, and so I'm changing it to the memory of these two pages of pesterlogs with Dirk.

Got it - and sorry for the inconvenience.

Echo approved; please update your info post accordingly!
