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.

waltharius: (wander vs the world)

Player: Zae
Character: Walter
Reason for Echo: FIGHTING A GIANT FUCKING SPIDER
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/physical
What is returned: Memory of the fight with Cenobia/the 14th colossus. Related in that they're both large creatures he's given the stab to and they both ended up destroying a LOT of scenery during their rampage/battle. Also comes with its Dormin chunk, so he'd be getting the usual stamina bump + effects of Dorminification (lines/darkening hair/paleness).

umbrael: (Default)

[personal profile] umbrael 2014-07-28 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Rex
Character: Oswald Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: Intense seething hatred of technology and the people who use it since people were snapping pictures of him after he's been humiliated by parked, moving, and demonic cars. Yes, he worked in IT, but this is a new level of anger directed towards modern day things, helped by an earlier echo that shortened his patience and made his anger towards things a little disproportionate.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Mental

What is returned: Kind of echoing back a loss here - Umbrael was the ultimate clueless grumpy old man when it came to anything made in the last century or so, partly because an ancient shadow god has a lot of other things on his mind and that kind of distracts from learning how to work these newfangled things, but mostly because he's just plain terrible with them. He's easily frustrated and has anger issues and that is a poor combination with anything, as you might know if you've ever had to program a VCR or figure out which remote goes for what or adjust the settings on a new phone or computer, etc.

So the echo here is - he starts blanking out more when using anything digital, forgetting things like keyboard shortcuts or where to find things on the computer and what switches or buttons to hit and so on and so forth. Along with it is a shortened patience and greater hatred for these things. (or, if forgetting reincarnate skills isn't a thing that can happen, it's just the hatred and lack of patience amplified until it causes the same effect of being clumsy and awful with everything)

Player: Josh
Character: Robyn Lyre/Ruby Rose

Player: Razorsaw
Character: Fuyuka Terasawa
Reason for Echo: Infiltrating the ThunderCorp compound
Type and tier: Tier 1
What is returned: Fuyuka regains a memory of Fate's childhood with her mother Presea; or rather, one of her implanted memories from her sister Alicia. The memory is idyllic of a close mother and daughter, with no indication of anything sinister or what happened later between them.

Reason for Echo: First encounter/attack with a Vermedi
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Ability
What is returned: Fuyuka gains the ability to transform and don her barrier jacket. In this case, she has no other abilities other than the power to transform and the added protection of the barrier jacket itself. In this case, the appearance is that of her Impulse Form's.

My apologies for how delayed these are. The month of June ate me, and then I got sick.

Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: L tries to comfort Belle in the shower the morning after she lost her job, got drunk, and slept with him. The specific trigger for the echo would be the act of running a wet towel gently over her skin and winding up, eventually, at her feet.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of Episode 25's foot massage sequence; L would recall being cold and soaking wet, kneeling at another drenched young man's feet, massaging them with a towel on a flight of stairs.

Reason for Echo: Seeing Julien in person for the first time
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: A memory of encountering a part-bird, part-humanoid being before. (As seen here, from 4:24 to 4:50.)

Edit: Adding another in here, so as to keep things all in one place.

Reason for Echo: Seeing John in his new regeneration and hearing him speak
Type and tier: Memory, Tier... 2, probably
What is returned: Knowledge of the fact that he has interacted with someone who looks and sounds like John does now on more than one occasion (without any specific detail of any of there encounters), and that people looking different from how they did before was something that was considered if not common, not entirely out of the ordinary where he was from.
