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.

First time in a conversational context spoken not as a first language! Lazarus took Japanese in college (very few students attempt to take two languages as difficult and different as Chinese and Japanese simultaneously so he would have been less likely to encounter non-native speakers of Chinese there) and since canon L would have a grasp of a language as commonly spoken as Mandarin (but probably with a heavy accent and definitely not as his first language) I think this could trigger an echo.

Player: Drizz
Character: Rakka
Reason for Echo: Winter coming around, and the first signs of snow.
Type and tier: Memory; tier 2
What is returned: A memory of herself speaking with Reki about how winter is coming and it's the death of summer and symbolism bluh.

Rakka gets a pair of wing warmers out of it.

Reason for Echo: Going to Nuremberg Christmas Market, and coming back home with gifts
Type and tier: Memory; tier 1
What is returned: A memory of herself at a similar looking market with the other Haibane. They're talking about the new year coming around, and about little charms made of nuts that symbolise forgiveness. Rakka seemed sad for some reason about Reki.

Player: Jessica
Character: Anthony Sparado
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence, hunting mafia goons with Shou is fairly similar to his other's old profession of Devil hunting.
Type and tier: Tier 1, don't know if it counts as an ability so much as an instinct?
What is returned: Watching and helping Shou while hunting skeevy jerk mafia men is very similar to routing out devils, especially those posing in similar positions of mafiosos or other underworld dwelling types. As such he's regained some of his instincts on how to do that more effectively. It's not a direct memory perse, just a strong familiarity with the subject. A muscle-memory how to if you will.

Player: Fiona
Character: Richard Stroud/Bro Strider
Reason for Echo: Hard to pin down an exact trigger for this, but Nick's post about going after Albero was the tipping point. He's never honestly considered killing someone before and meant it.
Type and tier: Tier 1; Memory(ish)
What is returned: Richard would get Bro Strider's 'Guardian' instincts. Whatever it was in the Guardians of the human kids that made them sacrifice everything for the sake of their charges. This would make him more determined, more reckless and more likely to do unusual and dangerous things to keep the people he cares about safe.

Sorry for the lateness, I'm traveling and really should have called hiatus D:

Yes, that's correct! Since canon L is part Japanese it's more than plausible that he would have learned Japanese before Chinese and even geniuses aren't going to speak everything perfectly flawlessly, so the accented Chinese would be what he got back.

Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Dani calling her 'sis' accidentally.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: The knowledge that Dani's past self was her sister. It'll only kick in once she's in an echo boundary.
oncedevil: (Ow)

[personal profile] oncedevil 2014-12-05 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Jessica
Character: Anthony Sparado
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence
Type and tier: Tier 2, passive ability, triggered by a shot to the forehead. This happens too often to past!Dante to be healthy.
What is returned: BEING SHOT IN THE FACE happens in the early part of Devil May Cry 3, where young Dante infuriates Lady into shooting him. In the face. Which is happening again to poor Tony. He has his predecessor's luck.

What is returned is the ability to survive that bullet to the face, demonic survivability. What this encompasses is two parts, one rapid regeneration that allows him to heal from essentially any injury that doesn't outright kill him. Continued damage over time will slow the effect, and larger amounts of damage still take time to heal, but barring death nothing will be lasting.

The second part is durability, the ability to not immediately die from many things that would otherwise kill a normal human. Falling from great heights, bullet to the forehead, sword to the gut. What can kill him is a direct blow to the heart, continued sustained damage past his regeneration point, and probably decapitation? He survives getting punched into a crater by a three-story tall monster, so he can take a beating but he's not invincible. Just very, very durable.

Extreme amounts of damage can bring him near death still (passive Devil Trigger may still be necessary), even if they won't outright kill him they can take him down. Blah blah I am rambling if there's anything else let me know?

ADDING AN EDIT: Regeneration greatly reduced. Heals enough to bring him stable then only heals at about half speed, takes time and significant energy to fully heal a major injury. Yes?

Player: Alec
Character: Chinen Shou | Sho
Reason for Echo: Canon echo type thing!
Type and tier: Tier 1 + 2: memory + physical

What is returned: Memory - Seeing Tony fight off the head wound and go after that goon in this log will bring back the memory of Kei in the midst of bloodlust - going into a drunken, though crazed attack on the people that had shot him as well kill a friend of theirs.

Physical - Shou will gain back the complete durability of a vampire, which is to say so long as he is feeding regularly, he can shrug off damage that would kill a normal person. The less he's been feeding the less that he is able to heal and he will go into bloodlust if he reaches that point where he needs to feed to heal.
stefanged: (oh really now?)

Player: Ziya
Character: Stefan Alesci / Stefan Salvatore
Reason for Echo: Plot echo, using the teleporter for the first time after talking to Julien
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability (mind compulsion)
What is returned: Stefan now has the ability to compel people - that is, make them listen to his bidding by staring directly into their eyes. When they make eye contact, he can order them to do almost anything [from getting him a cup of iced tea to killing someone to letting them inside his house], as well as for them to forget the orders they performed under his control. The compulsion can last for a few seconds, or a few hours, or as long as Stefan needs it to work.

This ability doesn't work on witches or ghosts canonically, as well as other vampires. For the sake of StE, it can be expanded to other Numbered (and any other supernatural creatures the mods desire).

Player: Ken
Character: Saretha Kaiser
Reason for Echo: Discovery of the worst kept secret in this game a relation between herself and Raye Satterfield.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Memroy of when Satsuki Kiryuin discovered the same thing towards Ryuko Matoi.

Namely, remembering Satsuki beaten and having been literally put through a wall, stripped of Junketsu, now worn by her mother Ragyo. Ragyo confronts Ryuko and ... well, rips out her heart. Ryuko somehow remains alive, Life Fibers running through her heart and Ragyo addresses her as her "daughter."

Reason for Echo: Seeing Raye's berserker form.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Memory of Satsuki seeing the same for the first time - Ryuko atop a tournament spire, confronting one Nui Harime... who admits to killing her father. Ryuko goes nuts and transforms into an insane, berserk monster that basically begins to trash everything in sight.

It can easily be my Tier 2 for the month, yes! (I don't mind splitting it up either, I'm just not sure how. If it would be feasible for him just to compel people into doing his bidding and remembering, then I don't mind making that a Tier 1.)

Thank you! I'll make a permission post for that as well. c:
