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.

reusing this because it's related

Player: Angel
Character: Eugen Lambert
Reason for Echo: Canon Recurrence; being inside the Orbital Elevator, specifically at the linear train station. (This is the last one!)
Type and tier: Memory | Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of the Gundam Meisters (Lockon, Alle, Setsuna & Tieria) conversation at the linear train station while they are waiting for Tieria's train back into space ( REF: HERE [ time: 5:40 - 7:30 ] ) except the conversation between Lockon, Alle and Setsuna once Tieria is away from them. He will also remember Tieria hates being on earth and prefer space but he will not regain that preference yet, only the memory of it.
nowi_wins: (when I look up to the heavens)

Always late on these...

[personal profile] nowi_wins 2014-10-27 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ket
Character: Nowi(Nora Drake)
Reason for Echo: Pink light in Germany
Type and tier: Tier 2
What is returned: Manakete lifespan. Manaketes typically live a few thousand years. She's not immortal, but she'll age very very slowly from now on. (Not that she knows about it, but she'll be waiting a loooong time on growing up now.)

scarlet_devil: ([Adult] What the...)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-10-28 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Dealing with an out of control vampire.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: The memory of Flandre going on a rampage after something triggered her.
wastingtime: (r; there is no form)

[personal profile] wastingtime 2014-10-31 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Using the teleporter for the first time. I *believe* this would be considered a Plot Echo, but the fact that it's similar to his canon I think might cause it on its own were it not?
Type and tier: POWER - Tier 2
What is returned: Creating and using spacebridges.
Canonically, Vector Prime can open portals through space with the aid of his sword, crossing great distances in short walks. He could also hold these open for others to go through, but the longer he held open the portal, the more taxing it was on him.
Elian will be able to do the same - again, with the aid of his sword, which may be a difficulty on its own because he can't just walk around with the damn thing 24/7 - but he will be limited to within Echo Boundaries...and at least a bit of familiarity with the area. He can't just open it blindly; he'll need to have been there before, and/or a visual (ex a video through the network) in order to 'find' the place before spacebridging.
Attempting to open a spacebridge to an area outside of a boundary will result in an open spacebridge...but no exit point. A dead end, so to speak. As spacebridges usually come with a clear 'road', it'll become clear that it's not going to take anyone anywhere except back the way they came.

On a scientific note, this isn't so much traversing through another dimension as cutting/finding a path between two points and going through *that*.

Oh SWEET. In that case, would you prefer me to make a separate comment for a plot related to it (i've already got something in mind) or can i just put it in this thread?
wastingtime: (r; that you can hear)

[personal profile] wastingtime 2014-10-31 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
IN THAT CASE

Reason for Echo: PLOT ECHO dohohoho
Type and tier: PHYSICAL - Tier 1
What is returned: Further inner physical change as innards shift towards metal/robotic, which basically...for all intents and purposes, starts off as a huge pain flash, which will fade as his body/nerves adjusts. IN TERMS OF SPECIFICS, he now literally has gears inside of him, along with the basic setting of a spark chamber. He maintains the whole physical-fitness-of-his-prime that came from a previous echo.
As a side note, he now has enough metal present in his body to set off metal detectors. God help him.

Player: Olga
Character: Karl Aurion
Reason for Echo: Melissa is going to ask Karl to kill her if she goes into a frenzy again.
Type and tier: Tier 2, mental
What is returned: Memory of when Anna asked Kratos kill her after the exsphere got removed from her body. Anna went crazy and turned into a monster who attacked both Kratos and their infant son, Lloyd. In a moment of clarity, she asked Kratos to kill her and he did when she attacked Lloyd again. Similarly to Anna, Melissa is a woman who Karl loves and one who went crazy before charging him with the task of killing her.

Karl will recall up until actually killing her but nothing past that. For the Tier 2 part, he will recall all the emotions felt during this moment.

aaand soon after the other one

[personal profile] wastingtime 2014-11-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Talking about wings/flight with Julian here. It's sort of a combination between the Wings thing and actually, seriously discussing how flight could/would work with them.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: The memory that he once had wings for flight, too, though they were a lot different than Julian's own.




I'm aware this is somewhat of a loose connection, but I feel that there's enough here to justify a try. I figure that if this is approved, I can steer the thread towards a more *specific* reminder that will prompt the actual Echo if necessary, but if it's not it'll just go wherever it goes!

Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Kevin Steele || Chrono Harlaown
Reason for Echo: Fuyuka finally cornering Kevin that the three of them might all be from the same "past". Specifically, mentioning that they might have been colleagues, or siblings.
Type and tier: Recurrence, T1: Memory
What is returned: Kevin already knows about Fate, he just doesn't know how the names match up, or that Fuyuka is Fate's reincarnation. This will fix that; Kevin sees a scene of Chrono, his mother, and Fate standing in a futuristic-looking courtroom. This is the trial of Fate Testarossa, charged with conspiracy to cause a dimensional dislocation, and accessory to assault on a Bureau clerk, and Chrono, as the Enforcer working the case, has been by Fate's side. Due to her age and a rather large set of extenuating circumstances, when the judge finds her guilty, he sentences her to compulsory Bureau service, under the supervision and (full legal) guardianship of Lindy Harlaown. This, handily, makes Chrono the next best thing to Fate's brother, especially since Chrono remains the head Enforcer on the ship his mother commands. The fact that it's clicking now, on the other hand, is a signal to Kevin that Fuyuka is... probably right on the mark with her comments.
scarlet_devil: (Pain)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-11-02 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Getting killed.
Type and tier: Tier 1, or would it be 2? Physical.
What is returned: Undeath. Basically, after getting staked, she won't stay truly dead and will soon get back up and proceed to ruin the day of her attackers.
Edited 2014-11-02 20:53 (UTC)

[personal profile] knights_king 2014-11-02 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Dan
Character: Arthur York [personal profile] knights_king
Reason for Echo: Emilia gets staked, Arthur thinks she's going to die. Essentially, he realizes that trying not to hurt his enemies is a terrible strategy, especially when trying to defend his loved ones. Essentially, this would corrupt his 'heroic' ideal that he shouldn't hurt anyone if he can help it.
Type and tier: Tier 2; Trait and Ability
What is returned: The 'Alter' personality that Saber takes on. Essentially, Saber was tortured by one of the magi in his Holy Grail War until he went insane and gained a personality much like Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night. The 'trait' would be his Alter personality, while the 'Ability' would be the ability for him to shift to the Alter 'form', which is a more physical aspect of that corruption. His Alter form gives him golden eyes and taints his armor and sword black, making him a demonic entity by nature.
prismaticdestruction: (Lost in the Insanity)

[personal profile] prismaticdestruction 2014-11-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Kati
Character: Dani/Flandre
Reason for Echo: Tier 2 Ablity (Monthly)
Type and tier: Watching Emi 'die' and being attacked by the 'Hunters'
What is returned: Destruction. Now, as I've said before, This power is one I do not like to use unless for Plot purposes or without Mod and Player permission but even at this point, I will be nerfing the living daylights out of it. I would say to get it fully back will probably take a few echos. (I leave that up to you guys, if need be, I can explain it more)

At the moment the target needs to stay relatively still or else she can lose her grip on the 'eye' and have difficulty getting it back. Also it takes a LOT of concentration to do so she can easily be knocked out of this. She can only use it once or twice a month due to the strain it puts on her, It will cause her to pass out and not wake back up for a few days. Even then she will still feel really weak for a day before starting to feel better. (This will prevent her from trying to use it a lot.)

If this isn't enough nerfs on it, let me know and I can see what we can do or if you have any ideas to add to this.
