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: Lampdevil
Character: Jackson Isaka / Peacock Undead
Reason for Echo: A discussion with Sakuya Tachibana where the man is refusing his help, similar to an incident in canon.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of the actual argument, where Isaka offered to fix Tachibana's health problem and Tachibana angrily refused and insisted that the two fight.

Player: Merav
Character: Emil/Hamel
Reason for Echo: Playing a magical Donna Donna on the network and depressing a bunch of people.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: Memory of playing Donna Donna at a ball and depressing everyone because he was in a bad mood.

Reason for Echo: The Doctor saying he expected the music to have a physical effect.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: The knowledge that a skilled musician can affect people physically. If it's possible, i'd like him to remember the specifics - giving someone a power boost and control their movements like a marionette. If it's too much for tier 1, then he will just remember there's a general physical effect.

Reason for Echo: Arguing with Russel about hats.
Type and tier: Item, tier 1
What is returned: Hamel’s hat.

Player: Fran
Character: Tachibana yet again

[personal profile] idealofhope 2014-02-28 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Jeff
Character: Calvin Kent | Clark Kent

Reason for Echo: Plot related, confronting the alien at the farmhouse.
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 2 for February 2014
What is returned:
First Tier: Advanced toughness/stamina. Due to more of his Kryptonian physiology returning, his body will become tougher, his skin functioning somewhat as natural armor. His body will also begin processing his solar energy more efficiently, giving him more stamina as long as his body is adequately charged with solar energy. Basically, he'll be able to take more physical punishment without injury and participate in strenuous activities for longer without getting exhausted.
Second Tier: Advanced strength. He will be able to punch, kick and generally smack into things much harder.

Reason for Echo: Plot related, participating in the Wise Snake battle.
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 2
What is returned:
First Tier: Advanced control/precision for his super speed. He'll be able to move at supersonic speed for longer periods of time and with more precision. Combined with his advanced strength, he'll be able to leap both very high and very long distances at super speed.
Second Tier: Advanced control/precision for his heat vision (oh my god, that rhymes). His eyes will become tougher, allowing him to use the ability for more controlled bursts before the strain becomes too much. It will still hurt a lot to use.
jasminebloominginshadow: (crying for what I need)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2014-02-28 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Razorsaw
Character: Jasmine Tsukuyomi (Dark Precure)
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2, Item/Ability
What is returned: Dark Precure's Dark Tact, which is more or less identical in form and function to the Moon Tact wielded by Cure Moonlight, save for the ability to purify. It can allow her to extend an energy blade from its tip, fire off her Dark Forte Wave attack, and her Dark Power Fortissimo attack.

The echo will not come with the knowledge of how to use these attacks, but she did use both in a scene that was part of a previously approved memory echo, meaning she knows they exist and can activate them via phrase. It can also direct and fire energy, but much like Lily, she won't intrinsically know this and will most likely stumble upon it accidentally as it's related to her already approved ability to fire dark energy blasts.

Unlike Lily, Jasmine cannot dispel her Dark Tact, as she does not transform or have the brooch Dark Precure uses to put the Tact in and out of sight, meaning she has to carry it around with her.

peacefulwinter: ([D] I... I can do this!)

[personal profile] peacefulwinter 2014-02-28 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake: proximity (plot)
Type and tier: T2: Item (ability?) + Item
What is returned: Cure Diamond's Love Heart Arrow, which looks suspiciously like a big heart that happens to be usable as a crossbow otherwise sized for a fourteen-year-old girl. As with other her magically-generated items, though, it automatically sizes up for Winter as the wielder (which will be a difference of maybe two inches). By itself, completely useless. Canon gives it three functions over the course of the season, one of which I'll be returning to it now: Diamond Shower, Cure Diamond's mid-tier ice ability. It's much more versatile; it sprays in pretty much whatever fashion Rikka wants, even being used to make a spiral staircase from thin air into a canyon (out of ice, though; I don't know know she managed to get a whole team down it without anyone falling). Each member's Love Heart Arrow functions differently during their individual ability; Cure Diamond's is used as a tambourine, and each hit generates a huge blast of ice, in addition to an actual ringing sound as if it were a tambourine. Winter will also be getting back a unique Loveads (yes, canon is finally making me change the spelling; I'll update it in my info post) that, inserted into the Love Heart Arrow, actually makes Diamond Shower happen instead of something else.

There are two other abilities the Love Heart Arrow adds, which I'll mention briefly here for clarity: the Lovely Force Arrow, which is a shooting-type team attack that requires Heart, Diamond, Rosetta, and Sword to all be together and to all fire at the same time (and also requires a unique Loveads); and Diamond Blizzard, which is a significantly more powerful Diamond Shower in which Rikka surrounds herself in a cloud of snow and flash-freezes it into a massive three-dimensional diamond, useful to block paths and lock down lots of enemies... except it kind of freezes her inside when she uses it, ahaha. We only see that move once, during the final battle, when she's trying to buy Mana time to finish the job. However, it doesn't use a new Loveads - it uses the one for Diamond Shower, but also requires her to dump absurd amounts of power in that Winter just doesn't have. More to the point, Winter doesn't realize she can channel that much power into an attack - she'll need a memory Echo before she figures it out.

The limitations on the Love Heart Arrow are... mostly obvious, except for one that I still scratch my head over. First, like everything else, Winter can't use her Love Heart Arrow in civilian mode - she has to be transformed. Diamond Shower also uses a little more energy, so she'll get tired faster, but the sky's the limit with what she can dream up for effects while the power lasts. Most annoyingly (to me), even though the Love Heart Arrow is a bow in at least one mode, even if she figures out a way to unfold it into the bow form, it can't fire arrows without a Loveads that creates them, and that requires either Cure Heart's Loveads (which she never gets) or the Lovely Force Arrow Loveads (which requires a team). It also doesn't generate a string or, well, anything else you need to fire actual arrows. So it's only useful for Diamond Shower.

Probably worth mentioning: Winter will not be getting an Echo that tells her what her Love Heart Arrow can actually do. That's because Rikka didn't know how to use hers at the time, either; she just got the Lovies handed (telekinetically) to her and guessed. This seems a fair pattern and I'll let Winter figure it out on her own.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake: staring down something she knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, she can't defeat. Something beyond her abilities in every way. (recurrence)
Type and tier: T1: Memory
What is returned: The memory of Rikka staring down something she should not have been able to defeat: King Selfishness. Think "as tall as the Empire State Building" and "its footsteps create tidal waves". The precise moment this is coming from is after a single energy blast blew her whole team into and through multiple buildings and brought them to rest in a pile of rubble, Cure Diamond staring with blurry vision at the approaching sign of the apocalypse. Winter won't have context; she'll just see herself (and enough of her Cure costume to tell her what form she's in), and feel intense pain, and have the feeling of certain defeat at the hands of whatever this thing is.

Reason for Echo: Plot: Alien at the Farmhouse
Type and tier: Tier 2, item/ability (March).

Reason for Echo: Plot: WISE SNAKE
Type and tier: Tier 2, item.
What is returned: The Black widow sniper rifle with one thermal clip (19 shots) worth of armor piercing ammo.

Reason for Echo: Mordin describing destroyers.

Player: Aave
Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: talking about whether Alan would use mind control to win a fight
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/ability
What is returned: The memory of unknowingly using mind control to win a fight, as well as the Coordinate itself, namely the power to control titans. He'll have no idea of what it is or how to actually use it. (Additional note: while it's shown that other shifters can sense it when the Coordinate is being used, it's currently unknown if it actually works on them. If there is later confirmation that it does, I'll make that part of the power a separate Echo.)

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake fight
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/ability
What is returned: Full titan shifting, along with the memory of his father telling him to get to their house's basement and injecting him with a mystery drug.

Player: bird!
Character: ivan karelin.

Reason for Echo: canon recurrence. seeing the gundams pop up during the wise snake showdown!
Type and tier: tier 1, memory.
What is returned: memory of these exosuits that were used in a terrorist attack against stern bild. he won't recall who controls them or what reason they had for attacking the city.

Reason for Echo: another canon recurrence. witnessing the destruction of the business district.
Type and tier: tier 1, memory.
What is returned: ivan will remember how parts of stern bild were bombed and destroyed thanks to the exosuits. he won't remember the city name, just that a pretty impressive-looking city has parts of it go up in flames, and he will be able to tie it into his memory of the exosuits (that they were the ones responsible for the destruction).

Reason for Echo: wise snake! plotwise.
Type and tier: tier 2, item + ability.
What is returned: his hero suit helmet plus his NEXT ability, which is the ability to shapeshift into things he's touched. for now it will be super random and he has next to no control over it. he'll wind up shapeshifting into a snake scale without meaning to somehow, just watch him.

Player: Dice
Character: Keith Goodman

Reason for Echo: Plot; wise snake
Type and tier: Tier two, ability+item
What is returned:
First tier: His purple Hero callband.

Second tier: For his powers to return at a weak level. Keith has the ability to conjure up/manipulate wind, but at this point in time I would be asking for him to regain essentially the bare minimum (something like a gentle breeze at best). He will need to relearn his mastery of his powers, unless he echoes that back at a later stage.

Reason for Echo: Parts of Locke City/the business district laying in ruins
Type and tier: Tier one, memory
What is returned: The memory of parts of Sternbild city laying in ruins after it was laid siege to. He will not remember the name of the city, just get a glimpse of the damage that was done to it.

Reason for Echo: Encountering the mecha/gundam that others echo back after S1 ending plot
Type and tier: Tier one, memory
What is returned: The memory that he has encountered mecha like that before in Sternbild, though he will only catch a glimpse of what they looked like. He won't know why he's seen them before, or recognise Sternbild at this point in time.

Player: Kira
Character: Thorin
Reason for Echo: The term Arkenstone and a basic description of it
Type and tier: Item, tier 1
What is returned: The arkenstone as it appears in canon.

Reason for Echo: Eliot mentioning that there were 13 dwarves visiting Rivendell, one of the 13 being Thorin.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: A brief overview of the company visiting Rivendell: The names of all dwarven members of the company, the knowledge that Bilbo was with them and that Gandalf was sometimes with them. (most of this the cast has already pieced together).

Reason for Echo: "Thorin Oakenshield"
Type and tier: Ability tier 1
What is returned: [Thorin gained his byname in the battle of Azanulbizar, using a piece of an oak as a makeshift weapon while fighting Azog.] The ability to fight with shield and sword.

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake. :F
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability (using both halves of the tier 2 to bring in this power at what's functionally full strength, aww yeah).
What is returned: Lightning's Returns-given ability to magically switch clothing. :D Her Guardian Corps outfit that was Echoed in a while back will work as her 'starter' by suddenly appearing on her again, but she'll have to manually dress up any new or existing 'slot' afterwards / change her clothes except for the switching between them. It also covers everything she's carrying, so... I guess technically she could stuff her pockets full of junk, switch to a new outfit, and repeat the process too, if she wanted. inb4 kallie is used as a drug mule. Unfortunately - for now - none of her clothes will offer her any stats changes or... whatever.

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Meeting Noah up-close for the first time.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: Memory of the first time Lightning met Noel in person- or rather, right before, as he falls out of a giant glowing 'gate' in the sky in Valhalla. "Of course. The one from the vision. I know your name: Noel Kreiss." And then she summons her Eidolith and flings herself off a building backwards before smashing it. :')

Player: Claire
Character: Sheila Go/Shego


Reason for Echo: Her students being idiot and no evacuating a burning theater
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: The memory of her pulling Dr. Drakken out of any number of collapsing, burning, flooding and/or exploding lairs while he whines about his plans being foiled. It's a reoccurring theme, in canon.

Reason for Echo: That certainly is a texting critter...
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: The memory of Rufus, the naked mole rat, whose behavior is sufficiently anthropomorphised and intelligent to make this a canon recurrence.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake plot!
Type and tier: Memory/Ability, Tier 2 (for March, I guess?)
What is returned:
Plasma blasts - she won't have any range between 'harmless glow' and 'full-force plasma column of doom'. So none of her useful finesse skills will be available to her yet, just big honking energy blasts that she doesn't know how to control quite yet.

And a snipping of memory about how she used those powers. Namely, being arrested with the booking number 11734, and being charged with (among other things) grand larceny, destruction of property, assault, conspiring to take over the world, having outstanding warrants in eleven countries, and jaywalking.

What is returned: Recognizes that Haro was effectively Lockon's partner and co-pilot. Little else.
