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.

It's the first time that he's discussed the idea of being part of it, yes, as well as it being triggered by discussing it with Ivan. A lot of people on Keith's post have talked to him about superpowered beings, but that in itself hasn't pinged him because he hasn't thought of himself as part of that up until his discussion with Ivan. If that makes sense?

it's a combination of it being the the first time he's ever discussed the idea plus the fact that it's keith who he's talking to! back in his canon, there were many instances where the show itself would say it's a show about beings with superpowers, so i was thinking it would be uh. canon recurrent enough. sorry, i'm still trying to understand how echoes work. orz

Player: Ken
Character: Neil Dylandy
Reason for Echo: In this thread Banagher is going to show Neil Haro in some capacity, per his player. Requesting ahead of time in the interest of being timely with the snake incoming this weekend!
Type and tier: Tier... 2, I think. I'm not entirely sure how best to classify this one, because this Haro has more extensive capabilities than most.
What is returned: Lockon's Haro. Haro is very, very closely tied to Lockon, so seeing one is something that would trigger something EXTREMELY vivid back - thus, getting Haro back himself.

My reason for being uncertain on the type & tier is because while Lockon's Haro only has rudimentary intelligence and communication features, it can also... co-pilot the Dynames and has the programming to preform maintenance on the machine. Not to mention be a mouthy little brat on occasion.

I'm not sure if getting Haro PLUS his programming fully intact would be a Tier 2, so... erring on the side of caution.

Player: Nick
Character: Raye Satterfield/Ryuko Matoi
Reason for Echo: Discussing Echoes with Lily. Specifically mentioning "not even getting the other part of her scissors."
Type and tier: Memory - Tier 1
What is returned: The memory that there is indeed another half to the scissors out there and that somebody stole it. Why this is a big deal will be lost on her for some time.

Just gonna edit a second one in here if that's alright, since this one's already submitted.

Player: Nick
Character: Raye Satterfield
Reason for Echo: Discussing remembering naked people with Connie.
Type and tier: Memory - Tier 1
What is returned: She'll remember Mikisugi Aikuro! Well... not entirely. But she will remember that she knew some naked guy with glowing pink nipples.

Okay, I admit it's tentative at best. I just want her to remember glowing pink nipples.
