Echo Requests

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.

As of November 2014, Characters who have had their echoes for over a year can cause echoes in other people This is involuntary, cannot be controlled by either character and doesn't require a recurrence. The receiving character must have 15 echoes or less; they must be physically close to the other character; only tier 1 echoes can be caused that way; one cannot give themselves echoes. Both players must, of course, have consented to this oocly. A character can receive echoes through this mechanic no more than 10 times, and only up to 3 times from the same character. If requesting one of these echoes, please indicate the character from which the echo was received.

Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger, a person 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.

Reason for Echo: Being out shopping with his wife when Wise Snake is causing panic
Type and tier: 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of the zebra undead attacking when he and Sayoko were out shopping together and that she tried to get him to run, but he wouldn't (and all the complex reasons behind it) and instead, transformed to attack it, and failed.

Let's see if I can roll some of these inevitable ones out of the way.

Player: Ken
Character: Lily
Reason for Echo: Roll call between STE Precures
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: The Heartcatch Precure roll call, complete with names, announcement speeches, and TEAM name. This results in knowing the existence of Cure Sunshine and Cure Marine, in addition to Cure Blossom from previous echoes, and at least a recollection they are yellow and blue Cures if not their exact appearance.

Character: Lily
Reason for Echo: Destruction to the city from Wise Snake
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Seeing destruction like this first hand recalls a city in ruins, covered in endless miles of sand and the briefest of glimpses at a massive, demonic monster.

Character: Neil
Reason for Echo: Trying to utilize his Gundam's sniper targeting system in the cockpit.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Item. At least I'm assuming it needs to be a 2 - correct me if this passes but I'm wrong.
What is returned: Trying to target through a giant robot is quite a new, unique experience. Only thing is, Neil quickly realizes he lacks a GUN.

This would re-obtain the GN Sniper Rifle. Like the Gundam, it can be generally assumed it's charged over time when stored ON the Gundam.

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna

Reason for Echo: Farmhouse mission
Type and tier: Tier 2 | memory + memory
What is returned:
Pt 1: The history of the Templars. Who they are, why they exist, what they do.
Pt 2: The rest of this memory, ie actually touching the pendant and receiving Alm's blessing and being elated/relieved to be accepted as a Templar.


Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2 | mental + mental
What is returned:
Pt 1: His preincarnation's lack of regard for people he doesn't know personally. Reincarnation Ravi cares about people in a general sense and wants to help where he can, even for perfect strangers. Preincarnation Ravi...did not. He became a very insular person who pretty much only cared what happened to strangers if it personally affected him in some way. So, callousness toward the plights of people he has no personal attachment to, basically.

Pt 2: The flip side of that is that his preincarnation clung much more fiercely to the people he did know--which by that point was pretty much just Alex, but would have applied to anybody he felt attached to. So STE Ravi will be more forgiving of, loyal to, and protective of his CR, basically.


Reason for Echo: During Wise Snake he's going to overextend himself magic-wise and pass out and end up with mana burn for a few days after
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: Knowledge of how to monitor his mana use. Doesn't give him increased efficiency or anything, but gives him a clearer picture of how much he's using and how much he has left and what his safe limits are.

Player: Gingey
Character: Shinji Ikari
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2, item/I guess technically a creature
What is returned: Evangelion Unit 01, a giant cyborg alien clone pretending to be a robot. I actually wrote up some details on her here when I apped. She'll be without any weapons, won't have any power source outside of the internal battery that only lasts for five minutes, and Shinji has absolutely no idea how to use her at all. So it's mostly useless at the moment and takes up a lot of space, oops.

Character Shinji Ikari
Reason for Echo: Being in Unit 01's cockpit
Type and tier: Canon recurrence, tier 1
What is returned: Unit 01 now has Yui Ikari's soul again hooray

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake encounter

Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Memory of fighting Slade's mechanical worms/snakes while they are attempting to drill through Titans Tower.

Player: Zae
Character: Walter
Reason for Echo: COLOSSAL SNAKE
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/physical
What is returned: Memory of the fight with Phalanx/giant snakelike colossus the second + the associated Dormin chunk. Same stamina bump as always and more obvious physical effects this time: faint demonic lines on skin, slightly darker hair

Reason for Echo: COLOSSAL SNAKE PLOT ECHO
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability x2
What is returned: His parkour-ish abilities, and also the related ability to fall for a long distance without grave injury should those abilities fail him

SO SORRY I AM LATE WITH THIS, I JUST REALIZED THAT THESE WOULD QUALIFY FOR ECHOES.

Player: bii
Character: Areonwen the Arabian Mare
Reason for Echo: ALIEN DEATH EXPLOSION. The whole invisible force exploding out in the ring is rather similar to the effect of the Mage Storms (which Sayvil lived through) on the magically gifted.
Type and tier: Memory (Tier One)
What is returned: Memory of the whole Mage Storm situation from the Storms trilogy. (Not like the entire plot of the books or anything, just what the hell was going on with the Storms and a little of what people were doing to fix it. She might get names but no clear memories of individuals.)

Reason for Echo: Seeing the Wise Snake from a distance. It's a big mostly snake-like thing with stubby legs and it's hostile as fuck.
Type and tier: Memory (Tier One)
What is returned: Memory of what colddrakes are and that she's fought them before, with the impression that she might not have been horse-shaped at the time. (She'll know that the Wise Snake isn't one.)
pianistofraielin: (what is my life)

[personal profile] pianistofraielin 2014-03-01 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: The Guindo
Character: Russel / Raiel
Reason for Echo: Precure team roll call, ie a bunch of heroes making their dramatic entrance from a tall rooftop
Type and tier: Item + memory | Tier 2
What is returned:
This dumb shit.
(Specifically the Kotatsu Man costume)

Because it started with a dramatic entrance, and completely ruined said entrance.

Pt 2 is the memory of all 3 of those pages of events.

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Dislocating his shoulder and injuring his ribs during alien attack
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: The memory of getting nearly identical injuries in canon, from fighting a creature called a Siegbarste

Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Alien attack
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 1
What is returned: Further return of his Grimm fitness (speed, strength, endurance, reflexes, and agility), putting him at decidedly above human level - but not to the point of being able to pick up cars or anything.



Character: Varric Tethras
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Item | Tier 2
What is returned: Upgrading his crossbow to appear in her former glory, a repeating crossbow with a retractable bayonet, and giving her one of the lines on this talent tree - specifically the Bursting/Shattering/Smoking Arrow line.

Player: Second
Character: Jake Harley
Reason for Echo: Roxy pretty clearly calls him out on being Jake English.

umbrael: (Lizard King • Eye)

[personal profile] umbrael 2014-03-02 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Rex
Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: OKay this is mega old but i've been thinking about it for awhile. Basically the phrase 'who's more useful dead than alive' is one his past self used, though in not in terms of tactics. More like, 'which unaffiliated/dangerously rebellious/unbelievably obnoxious kheliosaur or enemy would is more useful to us dead', or 'who makes my life easier by dying'. What a winner.
Type and tier: Tier 1 mental
What is returned: He's going to think about people this way too. Not enough to dictate his actions or anything, but sometimes when he thinks 'god I wish this person was dead' he's going to realize he actually really means it, and maybe wouldn't mind seeing it, either.

[personal profile] decelerate 2014-03-02 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Player: bird!
Character: dallen sutherland (davesprite)
Reason for Echo: it's still being threaded out, but dallen will be the lucky one to witness aria's death, and he will be completely and utterly unable to stop it.
Type and tier: memory, tier 1.
What is returned: bro's death; it's the same scenario. they were fighting a Big Bad together and bro dies in front of davesprite, and he isn't able to do anything about that.

not sure if this works but! figured i should try.

Player: Walk
Character: Rei Ayanami
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2, Item/Creature
What is returned: Evangelion Unit 00. However, I'm only echoing the robot and none of the accompanying weapons or external features such as the power supply or launch bay, therefore it's only capable of running for five minutes before shutting down completely. Rei also won't be receiving any skill in using it.

Player: Walk
Character: Rei Ayanami
Reason for Echo: Being inside of Unit 00
Type and tier: Tier 1, Canon Reoccurr.
What is returned: Unit 00 receives the soul that was dwelling inside it. (Who's soul exactly it is is never made clear in the canon.)

[personal profile] shotguncarnage 2014-03-02 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Myf
Character: Miles Lewis
Reason for Echo: Blood Key bump-in (Skylar)
Type and tier: Tier 1 (item)
What is returned: His omni tool, "Omni-tools are multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tools as well as computers used for a variety of civilian and battlefield tasks, such as hacking, decryption, or repair". It does things like dispenses medigel, plays and records soundbytes/videos/holograms; it can act as a flashlight, repair items (so long as the user has omni-gel, also created by the omni-tool) and be used as a weapon (omni-blade), though Wrex doesn't use it much in combat scenarios. It is invisible until activated, where it appears as an orange-ish hologram hovering just over the user's hand/forearm. Like so.

[personal profile] shotguncarnage 2014-03-02 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Myf
Character: Miles Lewis
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake~
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory and item
What is returned: The sight of the snake gives him back the memory of his defeating the Thresher Maw during his Rite. It also gives him back his Graal Spike Thrower, a nasty piece of shotgun equipment specifically made for fighting the things. The description from the Mass Effect wiki describes it thusly:

"The Graal is one of a long line of krogan weapons used to hunt thresher maws. Its ammunition consists of oversized flechettes meant to pierce thresher hide and create deep wound channels leading to massive blood loss. For additional firepower, the weapon is double-barreled, and, as a last resort, possesses blades to cause internal injuries if the wielder is swallowed by the thresher. Using a Graal on a humanoid target has predictably grisly effects. Its shots can be charged for more damage."
