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: Lucy
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence, ghost!Aria is telling boys via text to come to their windows WHY IS THIS A THING SHE DOES MORE THAN ONCE IN CANON...
Type and tier: Memory, 1

Player: Jax
Character: Jake Harrison (Snow Villiers)
Reason for Echo: Seeing bodies and walking through the city rubble.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Memory of walking through the debris during The Purge after the army has been cleared out a bit. Mostly just remembering the things NPCs were saying while walking past them, random bodies lying around, the way the location looked, and the sounds of gunfire and explosions in the distance.

Player: Merav
Character: Emil/Hamel

Character: Kanti Singh (Kanaya Maryam)
Reason for Echo: This conversation with Octavia.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: Kanti remembers this conversation with Eridan Ampora and that they were something like friends.
struckout: (torn all to pieces)

[personal profile] struckout 2014-03-11 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Fighting a -pink- minisnake with Jake, which I somehow just realized vaguely resemble Last Ones. Ironically, this is also the first time she's actively attacked an actual monster-y thing bigger than a housecat, so there's that as well!
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental.
What is returned: Like another Echo she got waaayy back, some more ABSOLUTELY USELESS categorical knowledge of some of her canon's monsters- specifically the ones that can be hunted to extinction in Nova Chrysalia, listed here. No memories of actually interacting with the things, just their names and general appearance. Some of these also overlap with the first Echo, so ... in addition to knowing of "Flans," now she'll know of a specific type called a "Ectopudding." 8|

Reason for Echo: She bursts in on Jake using ice powers for the first time - JUST LIKE the very first time Snow did in canon.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental.
What is returned: Exact same scene Jake Echoed back, except from a slightly shorter and pink-haired perspective. A big crystal-zombie thing startles Lightning, before Snow shoves her out of the way and promptly uses magic on the thing. Sigh.

Reason for Echo: Finally taking a moment to sit down somewhere amid some of the city's destruction, once evening has fallen.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental.
What is returned: Memory of the scene here, where Lightning and her three pals have finally found somewhere to stop running from soldiers/monsters for a few minutes. Up into the conversation and stopping with Sazh's "Give 'em a taste of l'Cie terror!" about 40 seconds in.

umbrael: (Lizard King • Snout)

[personal profile] umbrael 2014-03-11 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Rex
Character: Oswald Doyle/Umbrael

Reason for Echo: Saw a reflection of his new form.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: Memory of the names his kind had (there were a lot, they're a long-lived species and so on), and clearest is the most modern one: Kheliosaur, and knowing that's what he is.

Reason for Echo: Facing off against this big reptilian thing with a long neck and tail. In his past life he was a big reptilian thing with a long neck and tail (only his kind had four legs but pff), and along from staring down and fighting his own kind, he's also faced off against other reptiles close to his size or bigger. Jurassic times call for Jurassic measures right ha ha ha-
Type and tier: Tier 1 Mental
What is returned: Some animalistic behaviour and instincts, especially aggressive ones. He'll growl and make threat displays, hiss, etc, and fight like a wild animal, even when he gets his human form back.

And, a little in advance:
Reason for Echo: Actually fighting as a kheliosaur. (same thread as previous)
Type and tier: Tier 1 Physical
What is returned: An increase in strength and durability, and an increase in power with shadows - a wider radius for his powers to reach, though the further away the shadows are, the harder they are to move. Still needs the shadow to be in his line of sight to move it.

Player: Bii
Character: Granny Ivy
Reason for Echo: Aria's I AM A GHOST NOW post
Type and tier: Memory (Tier One)
What is returned: Some very basic facts about Parasol-verse ghosts: that they're what happens to people with too much soul if those people don't get vampirized or werewolved and that they're usually addressed with the title Formerly. (If I can only have one of those I want the second.)

Character: Areonwen
Reason for Echo: Aria's I'M A GHOST NOW post
Type and tier: Memory (Tier One)
What is returned: That the other her died and became a kind of Guardian Spirit (which is basically what a Companion is, only physically incarnate.)

Player: Mawi
Character: Melati!
Reason for Echo: SAVE ME MELATI
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of a planet called Haestrom, where Tali had led a squad of soldiers only for all but one to be killed. It's specifically the act of leaving them behind that will trigger the echo. The only memory she'll gain is the name of the planet and basic facts about it, though.

Reason for Echo: General running around and participation in the war zone that is the Wise Snake log
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental
What is returned: The feeling that not only has she encountered situations with a lot of combat and strife, but she was also fully equipped, trained, and prepared to fight back against them. Basically, war? She knows it. No related abilities will return.

Character: Skiddo, actual punk thug pokemon
Reason for Echo: wait since when were they friends......... He had echoed back a conversation a few months ago about how quickly Sora made friends with someone else, and this conversation feels very similar, down to Kara's cheerfulness.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: From here to the end of the video. The consequences of making a friend a little before you get to know them.

Reason for Echo: This mention of a mass-murdering nutcase.
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: The word "Kira". Though L doesn't remember that it's connected to his own personal mass-murdering nutcase, he associates it with the pronunciation of "killer" with a Japanese accent and sound set.

[personal profile] gunhearted 2014-03-12 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Eren
Character: Jacuzzi Splot
Reason for Echo: Making people he cares about dearly (in this case, Isaac and Miria) cry accidentally and not knowing why or how to fix it, and apologizing for causing tears that are not really his fault.
Type and tier: Memory/1
What is returned: The memory of the night he got his Tattoo. Jacuzzi was fairly young at the time, and his best friend was hiding away in her room, recovering from severe chemical burns to her face, torso and arms, and she was p. devastated from the accident. Little!Jacuzzi knocked on her window to get her to open up, and was shown to have the new tattoo. When Nice asked him what he'd done, he responded that he got it so she wouldn't be the only one to stand out with her scars, so she'd be okay if they were together. Nice cries at the act, and Jacuzzi doesn't understand why she's upset, which causes him to cry from being so upset that he made her upset, and it just leads to everyone crying and Jacuzzi being sorry for making Nice upset. (In reality, it seems like she's happy about how much he cares about her, and she uses the story to tell someone how Jacuzzi does the thing where he just does things for other people and how bad it screws him over but it makes him friends.)

Player: Mawi
Character: Scooby doo
Reason for Echo: Carrying a good friend to safety? GEE AIN'T THAT FAMILIAR
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: A memory of Sora dragging Riku through Betwixt and Between as they try to find a way back to the world of light. None of the conversation or context for how they got there or why Riku was hurt.

Reason for Echo: Skyler and Helene spar every week to get Skyler up to speed with his hand-to-hand. This log is the latest one in proof.
Type and tier: Tier one, ability
What is returned: Muscle memory of regular spars, especially against someone much better than him that he didn't have much hope to defeat (i.e. Riku trouncing his ass for yeaaaars). I'd like this to be a gradually occurring echo, something that accelerates his learning process by a lot but doesn't make him an experienced fighter right away.

Reason for Echo: Aria is dead and Skyler was very very very much in denial about it.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: GOOBY :( Specifically, from here up to where Sora runs off. remember that one video game where goofy died for real for like a half hour

Reason for Echo: General big battle situation in the Wise Snake log.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: From here to the end and this entire video. ONE THOUSAND HEARTLESS

Reason for Echo: Telling his grandmother about all his abilities and the network in general, and her being largely accepting of the whole thing, that he has a role to play in the strange things that are happening.
