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.

Reason for Echo: Also Raye going berserk
Type and tier: Tier-1. Memory.
What is returned: After Raye is restored from her berserker state, Senketsu will regain the knowledge of the true nature of Life Fibers and himself. That they are an invasive, destructive species that devours all life around them and that he was created from to be a weapon. His true purpose, however, will continue to elude him.
ghostly_heiress: (No you don't understand!)

[personal profile] ghostly_heiress 2014-12-21 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Sair
Character: Danielle Masters/Dani Phantom
Reason for Echo: Plot recurrence. The first time Danielle's really been hit how much she misses her father after running away.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1.
What is returned: The memory of Dani on the streets early on and how she actually misses Vlad. Because she still loved him even if he didn't love her. ):
hustru: Blond woman with a cat on her arm staring into the camera with a neutral expression that could be read as disapproving (Default)

Player: Kira

Character: Siiri /Sweden
Reason for Echo: Teleporter echo
Type and tier: Tier 2
What is returned: Speaking and writing Swedish from all time periods, though her modern Swedish only comes in a heavy Norrlandish accent.


Character: Thorir /Thorin
Reason for Echo: Let's talk about betrayal! Aka talking with Julien about Numbered being used in case the surface people find the colony in the mountain.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: Thorin's distrust of others because they might take his mountain that with the echo below will get amped up by a thousand into a serious issue.

Reason for Echo: Finding all the gold in the Erebor. wow such gold.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental
What is returned: Dragon sickness. When Thorin encountered all the gold inside the mountain, he rapidly fell into this mental illness, that basically makes him unable to think positively about anything but the treasure hoard to the point of even discounting human and dwarven lives for it; since this is an echo, Thorir will echo the full load of it the moment he sees the gold, so there's not even a slowly falling into it.

Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: When Cesar returns to the network sans vocal cords, L tries to think of ways to help him communicate and picks up some videos from one of the libraries in Locke City about American Sign Language, which he has never studied.
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: A decently comprehensive grasp of American Sign Language. While not quite fluent, he has the competency of someone who has studied for several years and a larger-than-average vocabulary for someone of this level. He's not going on to become a skilled interpreter, but he could absolutely help someone who's just learning.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Into her eyes)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-12-24 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Witnessing this!
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability.
What is returned: Emilia gets back her own ability to mesmerise her target into doing her bidding by making eye contact. It doesn't just work on humans, but on animals too. For now, I'm considering it having no effect on Numbered if it's too much.

It'll last until she releases them. Let's say for a tier 1 it doesn't affect Numbered and her targets remember it?

Player: Airdra
Character: Torin
Reason for Echo: First of the pink pulses in December.
Type and tier: Item, Tier 2.
What is returned: Bragigas, Torin's Voltasaur partner. Because Bragigas's canon size can best be described as "freaking enormous," Bragigas will not be returned at full size. His body will be roughly the size of a city bus, with the rest of his limbs adding to that. (Still large, just not large enough to, say, contain a secret base.) He will not have his ability to change into Gigant Bragi-Oh, his humanoid fighting form. He will, however, be returned with his personality in tact; he can't speak, only roar. Torin is the only one who will be able to understand him, unless anyone else has gotten back the ability to speak dinosaur. Torin's going to end up agreeing to work with the FBI to protect his dinosaur buddy.

Character: Torin
Reason for Echo: The second of the pink pulses in December.
Type and tier: Item, Tier 2.
What is returned: Torin will recieve one of Bragigas's Beast Batteries (he already has one he uses to transform into Kyoryu Silver), along with one of Gurumonite's Beast Batteries. The Gurumonite Beast Battery will allow Torin to make a target very dizzy.

Character: Hajime
Reason for Echo: First of the pink pulses in December
Type and tier: Item, Tier 2.
What is returned: A pair of Rouse Cards--the Seven of Hearts and the Eight of Hearts.

Character: Hajime
Reason for Echo: The second of the pink pulses in December.

It would be Lazarus' first encounter with actively studying ASL. L is a character who is shown to be highly (and unrealistically, but this is a fictional anime genius) multilingual in canon and capable of taking in a lot of information very quickly. Having solved 1,000 of the world's most difficult cases, even if only one of those required comprehension of ASL (or any other language), he would have put effort into learning it, and probably seen ASL in particular as very useful for other reasons (since he relies on a handler and they share most of their intel) a method of communicating silently would have its merits for a detective under more than a few circumstances.

It is a headcanon/reasonable assumption echo (like most of his other language echoes); unfortunately we get to see a very small portion of L's career in canon, so there's 17 years completely unaccounted for where all we know for sure is that he was being an awesome detective and solving 1,000 distinct cases while acquiring a lot of random and surprising skills (like Capoeira and flying a helicopter, which are hard canon). Of all these random skills, languages are probably the most useful and reliably reasonable to headcanon.

If this isn't OK or simply too farfetched, I'd like to alternatively have him echo back his ridiculously quick learning curve via Wolpertinger encounter (Tier 2 would be OK, since it's a big one) so he can go about picking it up.

Hey! So, I just remembered that I made this when I was really tired;; so I'd like to change it.

The plot echo will be tier 2! With the adage of Rakka gaining knowledge about what a sinbound Haibane is, and how they cannot take the day of flight.

The second echo will just be omitted!

Ooh! Yes, I absolutely do want the additional echo, and agree wholeheartedly with the necessity of limiting it (since the last thing I want is to play a Gary Stu!)I will use it responsibly and sparingly; at present I can't think of too many immediate applications for it, but as endgame approaches there might be something he can benefit from learning rapidly. How about something like using it once per month to acquire a significant skill (learning a new language, becoming an expert on cartography, ski master etc) or twice per month to acquire more minor skills (proficiency at tying knots, knitting, card tricks)?

I'd define a "major" skill as something that would ordinarily take a person years of dedicated practice to accomplish, and a "minor" skill as something that a person could get the hang of in a couple of weeks of dedicated practice. With endgame in progress he won't have the chance to do this very much, but it'll be cool when he can!
