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.

Player: Whit

Character: Wheatley
Reason for Echo: A conversation with Michelle (Chell) on February 18th, where they talk about their memories of the same place/events.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: The name of the AI they once upon a time attempted to escape from: Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. All he'll get is a name to put to Michelle's description.
metalbent: official show art (- lady. dangerous bender.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-02-22 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lucy
Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong
Reason for Echo: ALIEN ATTACK
Type and tier: Ability/Memory, Tier 2
What is returned: This memory of taking on all the Earth Rumble competitors, which given the moves she's using in there will probably require a tier two I think? It'd ratchet her skill level up a bit from knowing it, so I thought that'd work out.

Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong
Reason for Echo: Leading the underground tunneling team; she's led a team to take on bad guys via an underground tunnel made by yours truly before.
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: Okay, I cannot for the life of me locate a clip of the part of the episode (THANKS NICK) but in The Drill the following happens: "The group runs into the cloud, Toph creates a tunnel underground and tells everyone to jump in. When Sokka remarks about the tunnel's dark interior rendering his sight useless, Toph sarcastically replies, "Oh no, what a nightmare!" They all emerge from the tunnel, now underneath the drill. Sokka sees an open hatch and Aang helps him and Katara enter the drill. He urges Toph to follow them inside, but she refuses, explaining that she would not be able to bend or see inside the drill, being it was made of metal. She instead decides to aid their efforts from the outside by wedging a large boulder against the drill to slow it down." THAT IS WHAT I WANT BACK.

Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake proximity
Type and tier: Ability/Memory Tier 2
What is returned: Discovering metalbending, THE MEMORY, which would also slightly increase her skills/mastery there, I'm thinking? :|a

Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Farmhouse attack
Type and tier: Ability/Item, Tier 2
What is returned: Her sylladex, which uses the ouija modus. ...Usefully (not).

Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake proxmimity
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: I'd like to either double her ability to lift via telekinesis from 500 pounds to 1000 pounds orrrrrr to give her back her whipkind specibus (...basically a whip in hammerspace which was her weapon) if that's unacceptable.

Character: Sierra Callahan/Serah Farron
Reason for Echo: Farmhouse log (medic team)
Type and tier: Tier 2, Item
What is returned: Her bowsword locked in bow mode. It seems to just kind of have infinite arrows (through magic??? because what) so it probably needs a Tier 2 all its own.

Character: Sierra Callahan/Serah Farron
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake Proximity
Type and tier: Tier 2, Ability/Memory
What is returned: ...the skills required to actually use her bowsword. :| And also a memory of the first situation in which she used it, i.e. when New Bodhum was attacked.

THEIR LAST TIER 2'S WERE ALL IN JANUARY, so they have their free snake tier 2 and their february ones bundled in here. (...or would these count as march?)

Player: Misty

Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Reason for Echo: Alien fighting at the farmhouse
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: His attempt to defeat Aizen in the Central 46 Chambers . . . which resulted in Toushirou going down in a single blow.

Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake proximity/battle
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Memory/Power
What is returned: The name of his sword and the realization that the voice in his head is the voice of the sword's spirit. Knowing the name grants him the ability to access his Initial Release. While there are several powers that can be used with the Initial Release, the one he'll be getting back is to create large, eastern-style ice dragons with his sword slashes, that he can then direct at a target. He won't be able to have more than one of these created at a time.

Reason for Echo: wise snake

What is returned: incinerate, specced for damage/recharge speed/damage, and a scorpion pistol.

Player: Lauren
Character: Michiru Kaiou
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake

Type and tier: 1 / mentality?
What is returned: Bakura Ryou's (assumed/headcanon) studious nature and positive outlook on school
thebalrogslayer: (Default)

[personal profile] thebalrogslayer 2014-02-23 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Gilbert
Character: Gabriel/Glorfindel
Reason for Echo: Wise snake!
Type and tier: Item/ability, Tier 2
What is returned: His sword from Gondolin and the ability to use it. The canonical swords we have from the city are Sting, Glamdring and Orcrist (from left to right, Sting is a knife rather than a sword) so it would look similar to the three of them. I'm making this up entirely, but there's no description: it would have a blade similar to Sting's, and a hilt more like Glamdring's. It'd be two handed and glow blue in the presence of orcs, though that's unlikely to be relevant anytime soon.

Reason for Echo: Giant bloody reptiles destroying the city echoes giant bloody reptiles destroying his city in Gondolin because apparently all the Tolkiens have had trauma of this description
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: He'll remember that the city he called home was destroyed, linked his last memory, which was of the start of the attack

Character: Åsa/Finland
Reason for Echo: Wise snake
Type and tier: Ability, tier 2
What is returned: Part of her nationhood: the physical connection to the land. This means she'll be physically hardier and able to stay awake/not eat or drink and maintain physical activity longer than someone her size (or any human) ought to. Should she go without she'll still crave sleep/nourishment and feel tired, but her physical existence is now linked to the land of Finland. This means that should Finland suffer a disaster (ie freak weather or some man made disaster such as a nuclear explosion) she'll feel it physically as well. Linked into this is her physical strength; she'll also become much stronger than her size dictates. She'll be able to lift an average sized man without strain, and could just about carry two (assuming one on her back and one in her arms) over a short distance (100m or so). So about 300lb maximum.

tldr; she'll be connected to the land of Finland so she can endure while it does and she'll be strong.
chalicejoker: (Joker5)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2014-02-23 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Alien farmhouse attack
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: He'll be getting back some of Joker's more destructive talents--namely, he'll have the ability to remove one of his wrist blades to use as a hand-held scythe weapon, and he'll be able to fire crescent-shaped blasts of green energy as an attack.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: Undead endurance and lack of a need to sleep. I'm mostly basing this off of headcanon and things observed in the series, but he seems to be confused by the act of sleeping. He also has crazy amounts of endurance and can keep going and going, especially if he is in his Joker form. It will be possible to exhaust him to the point of collapse in battle, true, and in his human form or as Chalice, he may remain unconscious for a little while. But Joker has been shown to be knocked flat by very strong attacks, only to revive and get to fighting again minutes later.

[personal profile] stillshrill 2014-02-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Gazebo
Character: Anders
Reason for Echo: Anthony mentions sigils
Type and tier: memory / tier 1
What is returned: Anders remembers the use of runes for armor and weapons. He doesn't know how to make them, though.

Reason for Echo: talkin' bout magic staves and seeing Nathaniel's horse-head-cane-staff thing
Type and tier: item / tier 1
What is returned: Anders' staff, Freedom's Call..
moarnomsplz: (andalite // ickle)

Player: ellie
Character: Ax-Alex

Reason for Echo: farmhouse plot
Type and tier: ability, tier 1
What is returned: his skunk morph

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: physical/memory, tier 2
What is returned: I'd like to reset him back to Andalite as his usual form, and give him the memory of the time-limit rule for morphing.
whiterabbit_dot_obj: (superpowered RAAAAAAGE)

[personal profile] whiterabbit_dot_obj 2014-02-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Leriel
Character: Barnaby Brooks Jr.
Reason for Echo: Canon Recurrence - Kotetsu calling him "Bunny" in this thread. The Nickname is a huge deal in canon, obviously. Also, during the last few episodes Barnaby has all of his memories of Kotetsu edited or removed, altering his personality to the point where he's willing to KILL Kotetsu; hearing the nickname is enough to undo the changes and restore his memory. It's canonically very powerful in how much it means to him and how deeply he associates it with Kotetsu.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 2
What is returned: 1) He remembers that being called Bunny was A Thing, and the nickname slots into the odd gap in the memory he got for his first Echo. 2) The memory of the OTHER first time the nickname was used. He also remembers that while he hated the nickname at first, it became very precious because of how much the person who used it meant to him...not that he remembers who that is, exactly.

Reason for Echo: Farmhouse attack (mission control)
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 1
What is returned: The start of his Hundred Power regaining process: his thirty seconds of blue glowing with a one-hour cooldown upgrades to thirty seconds of blue glowing and his strength and speed being increased hundredfold with a one-hour cooldown.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 2
What is returned: 1) A much clearer memory of this symbol (the tattoo on the shooter in the memory from his second Echo), and 2) his obsession with it, including a drive to learn everything he can about it. EVERYTHING.

[personal profile] neonnerd 2014-02-23 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Bri
Character: Benjamin Ratchet
Reason for Echo: Alien attack
Type and tier: Physical | Tier 2
What is returned: His robot body, but scaled down to human size, with no additional weapons or tools other than the buzz-saw and EMP blaster that he already has. He will also not regain his transformation ability with this echo, which will leave him temporarily stuck as a human sized robot.

Reason for Echo: Seeing one of the giant mechas being echoed back
Type and tier: Physical | Tier 1
What is returned: His original height, just over 20 feet, and with this, a proportional increase in strength and durability - but only for a few hours, after which he will be back down to human size and stay that way.

Reason for Echo: Fighting Wise Snake
Type and tier: Ability/Physical | Tier 2
What is returned: Limited/partial regain of his transformation ability - only the ability to change from human form to human-sized robot form, no giant robot or hummer yet.
shotguncarnage: (15; I set a dozen 12-step traps)

[personal profile] shotguncarnage 2014-02-23 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that is perfectly acceptable! I would not expect the changes to go outside of the barrier, given what caused it can't, so that is a-ok with me.

And yes again to this! I will def speak to mods if/when a plan forms.
sucrosity: (Default)

[personal profile] sucrosity 2014-02-23 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Sandy
Character: Yoko Aznable

Reason for Echo: Seeing the alien
Type and tier: Tier 1, Item
What is returned: Usada Lettuce, her Buddyroid. Usada will be without his vaccine program (and therefore his sentience), but will power on, with base programming that allows him to dock with RH-03, and for RH-03 to be hand-piloted. Any further piloting assistance programming will have to be from forthcoming Echoes.

Reason for Echo: Witnessing the robot's matter-shaping abilities - there are several Metaroids (monsters of the week) in Go-Busters with the ability to perform fantastical matter-changing properties on objects, in addition to the general "sentai monster" feel that comes from battling a robot.
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability/memory
What is returned: Her virus program. Yoko's superpower (strength, centered in her legs, and the ability to create data platforms off of which to launch herself, plus the ability to be transported/digitized and made back into a human) comes from this program. She'll also be Echoing back her memory of how to use it in a fight. What she won't be echoing back is the memory that her program comes with a weakpoint: she needs a regular calorie supply.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake attack
Type and tier: Tier 2 - large item
What is returned: RH-03, her mecha.

I'd also be Echoing back canon reoccurance Echoes from Usada docking with RH-03 and actually sitting in the pilot seat--should I put in for those now, or would you prefer I wait?
soulsborderline: (Default)

[personal profile] soulsborderline 2014-02-23 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Nerdo
Character: Asuka Langley Soryu
Reason for Echo: L referring to (past-)Asuka as "that person"
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Okay so I don't know if it's possible to Echo back a repressed memory and keep it repressed, but if so, Asuka would get back the memory of her mother referring to her as "that girl" and something else as the "real" Asuka, something she repressed and ignored for about ten years of her past life until something else (a different Echo) brought it back up.

[personal profile] pianistofraielin 2014-02-23 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Player: The Guindo
Character: Russel/Raiel
Reason for Echo: Emil intentionally inducing a nosebleed with a picture of a bikini model
Type and tier: Memory | Tier 1
What is returned: A memory of Hamel winning a fight by flipping Flute's skirt
seishindairingun: (I RAN OUT OF PLANETS)

[personal profile] seishindairingun 2014-02-23 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The outfit is more-or-less designed so that the grabbing of clothing can't happen! It's pretty skin-tight. Also it is a tense situation and Preincarnate!Inga wears it specifically to fight!
youngestone: (Default)

[personal profile] youngestone 2014-02-24 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Fae
Character: Killian Ryan/Kíli

Reason for Echo: Proximity to the Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier two, physical
What is returned: Dwarven stamina and durability

Reason for Echo: Getting shrapnel in his thigh
Type and tier: Mental, one
What is returned: The memory of the Morgul arrow in his leg and how much that hurt.

Reason for Echo: Owen and Skyler bickering with Killian eventually ordering them to call Fil so he can get help
Type and tier: Mental, one
What is returned: Remembering that Kíli relied on Fíli a lot (which comes with the desire to rely on Fil a lot since they're the same person)

Reason for Echo: Gabriel showing up while Killian is waiting for Fil and knowing that Gabriel is an Elf
Type and tier: Mental, one
What is returned: Remembering that another Elf (he doesn't know which one) came and helped him after the Morgul arrow

Reason for Echo: The whole "there's a giant reptile under my home" thing
Type and tier: Mental, one
What is returned: Remembering that his ancestral home was taken over by a dragon, though he wasn't alive when it moved in
