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: Zae
Character: Walter
Reason for Echo: Hunting/attempting to track a lost friend with all his hunting gear in tow. Locke's dangerous and he's paranoid.
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: Lizard Detection Stone. It can detect white-tailed lizards in the area. Aids in hunting/tracking them down efficiently.

Reason for Echo: Wolpertinger
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/physical
What is returned: Memory of the fight with Quadratus, the 2nd colossus AND the associated Dormin chunk. Stamina + paleness + general increase in creepy demonic look, with the added bonus of pitch black blood.
ruleorserve: (the {noun} of Rassilon)

[personal profile] ruleorserve 2014-11-19 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Sceadu
Character: Archimedes "Emil" Keller
Reason for Echo: Talking to Lazarus about moving things from one place to another (in the context of teleportation/transferring a thing from one plane to another and back in an attempt to make a similar effect)
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: A memory of the TOMTIT machine - what it looks like, what the acronym stands for, what it does (moves things through "the space between the now and the now"), and that it somehow played a part in the summoning of Kronos. Like with the Keller machine, he won't recall that he actually made it, and neither will he remember how it actually works.
dead_black_eyes: "Secret Agent Man" (The world's filled with filth and lies)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-11-19 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: This mention of monsters; L questions whether or not his detective Other was one, whether he presented as frightening physically or not.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is Returned: The following monologue, spoken by L's character when asked by a child what frightens him:

There are many types of monsters in this world, monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble. Monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood, and, monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance, they are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans, even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat, even though they've never experienced hunger. They study even though the have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it, because in truth, I am that monster.
dead_black_eyes: "Secret Agent Man" (I fashioned you from jewels and stone)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-11-19 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: This thread, where Elian, a old man, hugs him and tells him that he tried to shoulder too much, realized it, and asked for help, and this makes him a man.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: In canon, L has a seldom-absent, elderly handler. While he's remembered an old man with a mustache in an earlier echo, I'd like him to get more detail back with this echo; the fact that he called this handler "Watari" (the Japanese word for "handler," super creative) and that he shouldered many of L's burdens, preventing him from going too far by serving as a voice of restraint and reason and taking care of many mundane physical needs. For the first time, there's a sense that his other felt affection and respect for another human being, something Lazarus has been doubting up to this point.

Player: Kira
Character: Blaine Frost / Ymir
Reason for Echo: First teleporter usage
Type and tier: Tier one, physical
What is returned: Her full titan appearance. She already has most of it, but there's little bits lacking still - this echo basically brings her titan to canonical dimensions and looks.

Reason for Echo: First wolpertinger encounter
Type and tier: Tier two, mental
What is returned: Losing her mind aka becoming a dumb titan that's only out to nom humans and lacks intelligence past that of a deviant titan (aka one who is hard to predict). The second half of the echo is the ability to sense humans and that she is attracted to them in a "wanna eat" way.

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Recurrence. Listening to Blaine talk about Titans and how people who fight them sometimes turn into them.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: The phrase "the mummy hunter becomes a mummy", a Japanese equivalent to "if you can't beat 'em join em" but with the connotation that "becoming a mummy" may be involuntary. Yuuya references it once.

Reason for Echo: Swandog wolpertingers
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical
What is returned: The remaining human organs and tissues he's got become birdy, though still shaped to fit a semihuman body shape. Slightly lower weight, more streamlined, the immediately noticeable thing is his mouth defaulting to dry and his saliva being less watery and more slippery.

Player: Alec
Character: Chinen Shou | Sho
Reason for Echo: Canon echo - basically this question here - thanks L, no really
Type and tier: Tier 1 - memory
What is returned:
It's never mentioned outright, but from the way the vampires acted in the movie, it's safe to assume that vampires from Sho's canon can stop drinking blood from a victim but suffer a kind of drugged haze. This is shown with Luka, who was forced to flee while in the middle of feeding and was weak and dizzy for some time after.

So basically Shou is going to remember that it's dangerous to stop in mid-meal for both the vampire and the human - it can cause the human to bleed out, while the vampire remains pretty weak and possibly hungrier. It could be done, but carefully and Shou isn't sure how since Kei never told him anything outright about it.
oncedevil: (Rebellion pls)

I keep forgetting to do this oops

Player: Jessica
Character: Tony Sparado
Reason for Echo: Plot echo for using the teleporter for the first time. Yes horribly late to the party I'm sorry.
Type and tier: Should just be a tier 1? It's an item enhancement more than an item itself, since the item is already present? Wow convoluted.
What is returned: Rebellion's soul, or presence if you will. Devil Arms are typically forged out of the souls of demons, and Rebellion is no different. What this gives is a sort of link to Tony (Dante) and a focus and stepping stone for further advancements and doesn't add much on its own. Tony will now be aware of and capable of "feeling" the blade, even summoning it back to himself over short distances, but for the moment that's about it. The soul itself would be largely dormant at this stage.

Others may feel creeped out in its presence, especially if they're particularly sensitive to demonic or dark energies.

All in all it doesn't do much yet is just generally creepy and slightly alive. While it has been shown to scream that's only when influenced by a huge amount of demon energy from an outside source, I don't think we'll be seeing that any time soon.

The knowledge of the phrase and its connotations, not even that it's Japanese.

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2014-11-26 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Super belated plot echo from seeing a recording of the lights over Germany. Maybe he'd been avoiding it after hearing people were getting things off of it and just now caught the broadcast by accident.
Type and tier: Item, Tier 2
What is returned: A pair of his Rouse Cards, the Three of Hearts and the Six of Hearts.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] A smile)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-11-26 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Wolpertinger encounter.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical.
What is returned: Superhuman senses, sight, smell and hearing. And yet another weakness: silver.
dead_black_eyes: "Poison" (I wanna love you but I better not touch)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-11-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: This thread in which Shou switches over to Mandarin Chinese (not his first language) while helping Lazarus move Project Jump to a safer location.
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: L speaks Mandarin!
