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.

I'll add relevant data to your info post!

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-26 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Proximity to Refined Shell.
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Mental + Mental
What is returned: Memory of Chattur'gha killing Xel'lotath and what Xel'lotath herself was - an Ancient and goddess of the mind and insanity.

[personal profile] knights_king 2014-09-26 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Dan
Character: Arthur York | Arthur Pendragon/Saber
Reason for Echo: Triggered by Arthur deciding to gamble for the first time in Vegas.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Ability/Talent.
What is returned: Arthur's obscene luck when it comes to gambling. His instinct does most of the work to tell him if an action will benefit him, but his 'luck' is what makes him a crazy gambler. Arthur, in his lifetime, had an uncanny gift in gambling, but never used it because it was a base habit he didn't enjoy. Arthur York would have no qualms about it at all!

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo! Fighting the CRAAAAAB
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Ability, Knowledge
What is returned: Arthur's ability to mold his armor, sword and Avalon into magical energy. Essentially, this means he can hide his magical artifacts and even repair them with his own magical energy. The end result? Magical girl transformations when he makes everything appear. Part 2 of this! Knowledge on how to do so, which complicates the use of it. Arthur can also use this not to just create his armor, but he can do nifty things like adapt the armor and put it on someone else or on a vehicle he's driving to make it a magical tank, essentially. The name of the ability is essentially 'psychokinesis', while the 2nd half is knowledge of the ability.
charcoalfeather: (The crows?)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2014-09-27 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Drizz
Character: Rakka Yoshitoshi
Reason for Echo: Crab battle!
Type and tier: Tier 2; memory
What is returned: The memory of her other self going to the wall that surrounds the town and touching it. It'll cause her to go numb and get a high fever.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] With a red moon)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-09-27 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Seeing the cultist symbol.
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical.
What is returned: Emilia's hair starts to change color to a light lavender.
truthcharted: (I'll take care of it.)

[personal profile] truthcharted 2014-09-27 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Kevin Steele | Chrono Harlaown
Reason for Echo: Lobsterfest Vegas. Kevin's going in deep.
Type and tier: T2 (free): Item + Ability
What is returned: Chrono's second Device, Durandal; it's already active when he Echoes it back, for convenience. Durandal is a short staff maybe half as tall as kid!Chrono, so we'll call it maybe a two-foot scepter. As a Sealing Device, it can't think for itself, but it can answer simple direct queries, and it has a significant effect on focusing magic. While Chrono's magic doesn't really have an affinity for any particular element, Durandal itself is tuned for ice attacks.

Along with this, Kevin will get back Device 101, and his first spell: Stinger Blade, an offensive magic that creates swords of blue light. At some future point, he'll regain the second mode, Stinger Blade Execution Shift, which fills the sky with swords in a rather absurd fashion. The standard version generates a few swords, which can be guided before and after launch, with some focus. It's fairly efficient in terms of power, fortunately. Aside from this spell, Kevin will get back the basics of using a Device, namely that they're specialized computers, and that they have standby and active modes (and how to dismiss and call a Device).

Reason for Echo: Being close to ground zero as Toushirou activates his bankai, which scatters a frozen mist in the air as part of its setup.
Type and tier: T1: Memory
What is returned: Kevin will remember that he has a spell called Eternal Coffin, that it scatters frozen mist around the battlefield, and that he can collect it together to basically flash-freeze something. Even the information he's getting suggests it's powerful, but more importantly, that he doesn't have the control right now to cast it safely at all. He won't get back how to shape the magic to get it to cast, anyway, so that's not exactly a problem.

seed_of_memory: (Default)

[personal profile] seed_of_memory 2014-09-27 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Razorsaw
Character: Fuyuka Terasawa
Reason for Echo: Plot - Seeing the cultist symbol
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Ability + Ability
What is returned: Fuyuka regains Bardiche's ability to transform into its Haken form, along with the ability for it to use the Haken Saber. Haken Saber effectively transforms Bardiche into a scythe with a blade made of electrical energy, and allows it to throw said blade as a ranged attack.

Reason for Echo: Plot - Refined Shell
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Ability + Ability
What is returned: Two spells; the ability of flight in her transformed state and the ability Blitz Rush, which allows her to move at high speeds. These are both related in that they are movement/transport type spells.
moreweaponsthanyou: (I'm serious)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-09-27 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: sabriel
Character: Filber Phineasson Darens | Fili
Reason for Echo: Entering Erebor for the first time after it appears in Vegas and seeing it completely empty of living things inside
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory (September tier 2 echo)
What is returned: Dwarven history to do with the dwarves of Erebor, particularly tales of how Erebor fell to the dragon Smaug that drove the dwarves from their home and killed the rest of the dwarve in Erebor, leaving no one in it.

wirsinddiejager: (teen titans go)

[personal profile] wirsinddiejager 2014-09-27 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Aave
Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: CRAB BATTLE
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory
What is returned: Two memories of big titan fights: first against Annie in Stohess (in which he is upset and confused, but completely in control and handles things very well) and second against Reiner by Wall Rose (in which he is utterly enraged, but manages to stay in control and use wrestling moves to win out against Reiner's armour)

[personal profile] detectivetroll 2014-09-27 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: using the transporter for the first time!
Type and tier: Item | Tier 1
What is returned: His vambrace! Basically an arm guard strong enough to withstand the bite of an alligator, with a fancy retractable blade. But, you know, only one, so hopefully whatever bites him only goes after one arm.

Reason for Echo: Refined Shell
Type and tier: Item | Tier 2
What is returned: An upgrade for his previously echoed back trailer: the apothecary table is now stocked with its various chemicals and herbs.

[personal profile] starlightheart 2014-09-28 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ken
Character: Natalie Tamura (Nanoha Takamachi)
Reason for Echo: Recurrence - Witnessing various people flying around the Refined Shell battlefield, many under mystical or supernatural assistance.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Ability
What is returned: She regains the Accel Fin spell. This creates wings from her feet that grant her the power of fully sustained flight.

In canon, Nanoha is fast enough to likely rival the speed of fighter jets at maximum speed. For purposes here, Natalie is getting a scaled down version of that output - she'll still be pretty speedy in the air, but not completely over the top. Yet.
buildyourworld: (gn particles overload)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2014-09-28 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Angel
Character: Eugen Lambert
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence; mention of Lockon's family death
Type and tier: Memory | Tier 1
What is returned: Tieria's knowledge of Lockon's family death that was caused by the KPSA terrorist.
