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: Misty

Character: Near / Nathan Brooks
Reason for Echo: Santarem lights
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Memory
What is returned: Knowledge of the SPK (Special Provision for Kira). That he was the head of it, that it was composed of both FBI and CIA agents, and that it was based in Manhattan. Also the names, both false and real, of all its members.

Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Reason for Echo: Santarem lights
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Power/Ability
What is returned: His sword's "Subjugation of the Heavens" ability, which allows him to control the weather (or more specifically all of the atmospheric water) in the vicinity. This is usable in both states of his sword release. Range on this is said to be an area of effect of multiple miles, but for the purposes of the Echo, I'd scale it back to the range of a single mile while in his first stage of release, and double that when he's in the final release state.

Player: Critiana
Character: Celine Blanchefleur
Reason for Echo: Santarem lights
Type and tier: Plot Tier 2
What is returned: The manipulation of localized space (limited) and a plethora of her sliver throwing knives. The knives are made of a specialized silver capable of mildly disrupting ghosts and negative energy. These properties are innate to the material and are not a magic on their own. I can echo this back separately if its too much.

(and sometime in the near future when this happens)

Reason for Echo: Meeting Dani face to face
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Mental
What is returned: Additional feelings of devotion mixed with some healthy caution. Flandre Scarlet (the character Dani is based on) was Sakuya's other mistress and far more dangerous than Remilia.

Hrm... good question. I think back when Ariel and Liam were echoing their first echos things were fudged a little bit, but we had a different mod team then. (obviously)

Can I go with:

The knowledge that the oath was taken by kinslayers, with a vague icky AHH BAD NO reaction to the oath/kinslayers, (but does not specifically know that Arnold was one of them)?

Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Santarem arorae
Type and tier: Plot Tier 1, Physical.
What is returned: The rest of her superspeed. I'd say her top speed would be just under mach 1. 1230 kph, the speed of sound being 1236 kph.

I think if I stick with what I said in that last comment, we can get it to work out. :3

Then I can take the Santarem echos and the Revised memory echo?

She can stretch and fold space around her. It lets her do things such as make a room bigger on the inside or create pockets that can hold a lot more than they would appear to or even cross a long, enclosed distance in an instant by folding space.

However she is severely limited in that it tires her out to even alter a small area and the further away it is and the more significant the alteration the worse it becomes. She might expand the space within her clothing to carry knives in for example, but she wouldn't be able to maintain it for more than a few hours without becoming exhausted.

Player: Tea
Character: Maglor/Arnold Benedict
Reason for Echo: Liam just said the word "kinslayer"
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: That he is a kinslayer, perhaps a memory of participating in a kinslaying? I am happy to say he doesn't remember specifics, just that he has killed a lot of people. If a specific memory would be better, he already remembers the ending of Doriath (Elwing jumping) so perhaps him and his brothers attacking a harbor town

Reason for Echo: Aaron just said the Elwing's name
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: That Elwing is the lady who jumped in his first memory, and that she left twin sons behind

Reason for Echo: he's going to use the teleporter
Type and tier: Type 1, physical
What is returned: let's keep it simple, can he get his elven hearing back?

Reason for Echo: apparently you get one for meeting dopplegangers! He's. er. Adopted his and taken him home
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: Can I say that he remembers having brothers? He won't remember their names or faces, just that he didn't use to be an only child.

Reason for Echo: Fil just mentioned dragons attacking
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: I think the whole battle is probably a bit too much but Mags does have significant trauma surrounding the Battle of Sudden Flame when Glaurung attacked and razed his lands so... perhaps to remember that there was a massive dragon called Glaurung who attacked his lands, maybe what he looked like?

Player: Gilbert
Character: Glorfindel/Gabriel
Reason for Echo: Seeing Arnold's Silmaril
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The most important memory he has relating to the Silmarils: Fëanor's speech at the Great Square and leaving the city of Tirion.

Reason for Echo: Pink lights over London
Type and tier: Tier 2, item and ability
What is returned: Asfaloth and the ability to ride (Gabriel can already ride, and Asfaloth won't let a rider fall, but Gabriel will regain the elven ability to ride bareback).

Reason for Echo: Touching the hair on the underground
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical
What is returned: Glorfindel's hair: it has more volume and is longer than Gabriel's.

Character: Åsa/Finland
Reason for Echo: Pink lights over London
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability
What is returned: Nation immortality: she can only be killed if there's no one left who considers themselves Finnish. She'll recover from any injury and heal faster than others.

Player: Ziya
Character: Stefan Salvatore
Reason for Echo: Lights over Santarem!
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: The second half of Stefan's compulsion ability! He can now compel muggles (non-powered humans) into doing whatever he desires, with the ability to make them forget what he asked of them.
stefanged: (facepalming)

You know, I thought I replied to this, but I clearly must've dreamt that up. :|b

I was thinking it was different because the confusion of Stefan's doppelganger was similar to scenes in early S2 for Stefan, where he couldn't tell if he was talking to his girlfriend (Elena Gilbert) or his girlfriend's doppelganger (Katherine Pierce). If that doesn't work, the canon recurrence could simply be Stefan plotting to injure doppel Xander, as he's similarly plotted to injure / maim / kill doppelgangers in canon.

Player: Jessica
Character: Anthony Sparado
Reason for Echo: Recurrence, Doppel!Lazarus gloating about his conquests and exploits so shamelessly with no sense of compassion whatsoever is extremely similar to, well, pretty much every demon bad guy monologue ever.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental/memory.
What is returned: Fake!Lazarus' disgusting exposition so closely parallels the mindset most often displayed by demons or those that aspire to become/work for them that the familiarity and disgust invoke a strong sense of justice. The understanding that that sort of mentality is what sets apart humans and demons, and that to succumb to it is a quick trip to the land of no return. That the temporary "power" gained from such actions is fleeting, and ultimately superficial.

Basically it is the beginning of understanding the nature of souls. Not that he'll necessarily understand that bit just yet.

Also you know, any reasonable person's reaction of "ew you're so gross".

Player: Just gonna edit this on so I don't spam too much~
Character: Still Tony
Reason for Echo: Late plot echo for meeting a doppelganger or twenty.
Type and tier: Tier one, ability
What is returned: Heightened sense of smell! It's implied in canon that Dante's capable of smelling things that humans may miss, mainly demons. It doesn't seem to indicate he's got anything crazy like a bloodhound nose, but strong enough to differentiate between species or identify if someone is in a room with him he can't see. Barring them disguising their scent of course. Of course it also shows he can be overwhelmed by certain smells and absolutely hates cigarette smoke, it's so awful.

Say hello to a future of "did you really need to bathe in your cologne ugh".
