Echo Requests

[theearth]

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.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Reason for Echo:</b> If this is a plot Echo, please state which plot is acting as the trigger. If this is a canon recurrence/parallel Echo, please clearly explain how the reason for the Echo parallels canon. <b>Type and tier:</b> If this is a Tier 2 Echo that receives approval, then note that it is a Tier 2 in your Received Echoes list AND the month for which it counts. <b>What is returned:</b> Clearly explain how the Echo relates to its trigger. If this is an ability, please briefly describe it. Assume the mods are unfamiliar with your canon. If this is a Tier 2 encompassing two Echoes, remember that the Echoes must be related somehow. Please explain how they're related.

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Echo approved as a tier 2 (robot can fly + Marina can steer it - for maximum comedic effect you can delay the second part of the echo a bit, if you want to)! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Both echoes approved as tier 2s! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

The echo is as good as approved, but could you please give us a hard number of how long she will be able to stop time now before it starts to damage her?

Player: Tea
Character: Arnold/Maglor
Reason for Echo: Julien is talking about praying to the stars!
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory
What is returned: Can he remember that elves love best Varda who created the stars, and the song that doubles as a prayer to her

Reason for Echo: the moon is a snake!
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory
What is returned: Can he remember that the moon is a ship with a giant glowing flower in crystal piloted by a lovesick angel-demigod-type-being called Tillion (gotta love Tolkien cosmology). If he could also remember that the sun is a ship with a giant glowing fruit piloted by a exasperated angel-demigod-type-being called Arien who wants to smack her boyfriend that's also be awesome but I'm happy with just the Moon XD

Sorry

Player: Pen
Character: Misa Amane
Reason for Echo: Shou answering, "Killers. Criminals. People with blood on their hands," to her question of who he hunts.
Type and tier: tier 1, memory
What is returned: Knowledge that Kira only kills criminals.

Erm... I don't really have a hard number. It largely depends on her mental state before the first stop and then how frequently she's stopping, recovery time, how easily she can focus, and most importantly the length of time a single stop is sustained. It gets exponentially worse.

I can give you a soft number though if we assume she's in an ideal position when she stops she could probably maintain 30 consecutive seconds without hurting herself. At about 45 seconds she'd start causing lasting damage and at a minute it starts getting really dangerous.

She doesn't usually start from an ideal position though.

Player: Kira
Character: Feivel / Fëanor
Reason for Echo: Having a brother all of a sudden (Lazarus telling him and Tony that they're brothers)
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Knowledge of the birth of his second half-sibling, Nolofinwë, and his emotional landscape surrounding it (in short, Fëanáro was not happy about the step-mother that he already didn't like for having married his dad and not being his "real mother" having born yet another child, and this time a boy, so someone who could in theory replace him in full).

[highly_gifted]

Alteration to hair encounter because I got durability twice: Theoretical knowledge of how to make a lampstone (=Fëanorian lamp).

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

That soft number totally works <3 (Please add what you just wrote up there to the echo on your info post, thanks!)

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

WOW I KILL NOBODY RUDE ;)

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

The Tokyo Lights echo doesn't work, as the eye things and Japanese aren't related. You could instead, for example, get Fluency in spoken Japanese + the ability to read written Japanese (however not the ability to write it)?

All other echoes are approved! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Echoes approved! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Ability to gain access to them, yep!

And echoes approved! Please update your info post.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

In that case I will switch the second half of that Echo to literacy in Japanese. The others were the important ones anyway.

Thanks!

[theearth]

Echo approved (spoken Japanese and literacy in Japanese)! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Just as a note, Tilion isn't Arien's boyfriend, rather her stalker.

With that alteration, echoes approved! Please update your info post.

[theearth]

Modifications:
-Ship comes without the push-or-pull tractor beam that can shift as much mass as the ship itself has and the weak laser.
-The ghostzone creatures will act like regular ghosts when it comes to her.

That said, all echoes except for the last one are approved! Please update your info post.

For the last one - while I understand that metalbending is an earthbender-power, they still seem to be separate powers, so they would require separate echoes to strengthen them. Thus:

Last echo is approved as a Tier 2.

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

Hi there. I took a look at both the Imperishable Night/Story/Scarlet Team's Extra and Vampires in Touhou to check things out.

Nowhere in the vampire wiki does it say vampires have the ability to turn anyone into other vampires, let alone what size would have to do with that process. I also took a look at the stage you were referring to, and while it is true she says "So, how about you become immortal too, Sakuya?" She did not say vampire, she said immortal of which there are many in canon. Further more, Remilia's character is known to be childish, and may be speaking in jest. The conversation was a lighthearted one.

The idea that Remilia can turn other people into vampires appears to be a very stretched headcanon, and we cannot pass echoes based on headcanon with such little canon basis to be so powerful. So unfortunately our decision stands.

Player: Ziya
Character: Stefan Salvatore
Reason for Echo: Tony commenting that he's a good cook in Tokyo (canon recurrence)
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Cooking experience, primarily with more complicated Italian cuisine (than he would've learnt from his father). He also remembers trying to teach his human girlfriend how to cook said dishes, only to realize she should never be allowed in the kitchen. Ever.

Reason for Echo: attending the Parliament meeting in Tokyo (canon recurrence)
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Knowledge that the government of Mystic Falls, the Founders' Council, hated supernatural creatures - and that they wouldn't hesitate to stake vampires (or kill werewolves) if it ensured the town's safety.

Reason for Echo: Emi feeding him her blood off-screen (canon recurrence)
Type and tier: Tier 2 (for April), ability
What is returned: Vampirism! Stefan has now (unfortunately) gained immortality at age 21, with the price that he must drink on blood to survive.

I forgot to mention her profile in the first game she appears in. Remi indeed couldn't make vampires because she was too small, something Emi doesn't have a problem with.
