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.

umbrael: (Lizard King • Eye)

[personal profile] umbrael 2014-03-02 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Rex
Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: OKay this is mega old but i've been thinking about it for awhile. Basically the phrase 'who's more useful dead than alive' is one his past self used, though in not in terms of tactics. More like, 'which unaffiliated/dangerously rebellious/unbelievably obnoxious kheliosaur or enemy would is more useful to us dead', or 'who makes my life easier by dying'. What a winner.
Type and tier: Tier 1 mental
What is returned: He's going to think about people this way too. Not enough to dictate his actions or anything, but sometimes when he thinks 'god I wish this person was dead' he's going to realize he actually really means it, and maybe wouldn't mind seeing it, either.
waltharius: (everything is under control)

He wouldn't try to fight it directly, no, but he'll be trying to retrieve Octavia's body while it's rampaging out of fear that it'll crush her and she won't be able to revive. Which could include climbing over it at some point to get at her, as I would hate to miss an opportunity to climb over a giant monster even if he's not crazy enough to stab it!

BUT. If this isn't enough, I'm okay with reshuffling things and making the Phalanx fight/Dormin chunk the plot echo and nixing the parkoury skills for now!

Player: bird!
Character: dallen sutherland (davesprite)
Reason for Echo: it's still being threaded out, but dallen will be the lucky one to witness aria's death, and he will be completely and utterly unable to stop it.
Type and tier: memory, tier 1.
What is returned: bro's death; it's the same scenario. they were fighting a Big Bad together and bro dies in front of davesprite, and he isn't able to do anything about that.

not sure if this works but! figured i should try.

Player: Walk
Character: Rei Ayanami
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2, Item/Creature
What is returned: Evangelion Unit 00. However, I'm only echoing the robot and none of the accompanying weapons or external features such as the power supply or launch bay, therefore it's only capable of running for five minutes before shutting down completely. Rei also won't be receiving any skill in using it.

Player: Walk
Character: Rei Ayanami
Reason for Echo: Being inside of Unit 00
Type and tier: Tier 1, Canon Reoccurr.
What is returned: Unit 00 receives the soul that was dwelling inside it. (Who's soul exactly it is is never made clear in the canon.)

shotguncarnage: (6; and think I musta wanted it this way)

[personal profile] shotguncarnage 2014-03-02 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Myf
Character: Miles Lewis
Reason for Echo: Blood Key bump-in (Skylar)
Type and tier: Tier 1 (item)
What is returned: His omni tool, "Omni-tools are multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tools as well as computers used for a variety of civilian and battlefield tasks, such as hacking, decryption, or repair". It does things like dispenses medigel, plays and records soundbytes/videos/holograms; it can act as a flashlight, repair items (so long as the user has omni-gel, also created by the omni-tool) and be used as a weapon (omni-blade), though Wrex doesn't use it much in combat scenarios. It is invisible until activated, where it appears as an orange-ish hologram hovering just over the user's hand/forearm. Like so.

[personal profile] shotguncarnage 2014-03-02 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Myf
Character: Miles Lewis
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake~
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory and item
What is returned: The sight of the snake gives him back the memory of his defeating the Thresher Maw during his Rite. It also gives him back his Graal Spike Thrower, a nasty piece of shotgun equipment specifically made for fighting the things. The description from the Mass Effect wiki describes it thusly:

"The Graal is one of a long line of krogan weapons used to hunt thresher maws. Its ammunition consists of oversized flechettes meant to pierce thresher hide and create deep wound channels leading to massive blood loss. For additional firepower, the weapon is double-barreled, and, as a last resort, possesses blades to cause internal injuries if the wielder is swallowed by the thresher. Using a Graal on a humanoid target has predictably grisly effects. Its shots can be charged for more damage."

Player: Mawi
Character: Skyler Veracruz
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake proximity
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability and... sort of an ability? READ ON
What is returned: Two abilities he has for beating up big giant things will return! One of them, however, comes with a caveat.

1. Superglide. His Glide ability is now fully upgraded! He goes at his fastest speed, his angle of descent is as gradual as it will ever be, etc. Still not and will never be true flight, but this is the closest he will get!

2. The requirements to summon a Keyblade. One can only summon a Keyblade if they have gone through the ceremony of inheritance - which just means that if you've touched a Keyblade before, one will become available to you if your heart is strong enough. This Echo will give him that prerequisite back. However, Skyler's current personality is not strong enough to summon a Keyblade. He may be able to summon in it small spurts, and if he's really focusing on achieving something that requires strength of character, or the power of his friends' faith and bonds with him, he may be able to summon it for longer, and may even get back to full Keyblade business as usual later if he gets enough character development (which sort of makes this a gradually occurring echo with an additional requirement), but otherwise his bond with it will be very weak. If anyone who has also gone through the ceremony/has a Keyblade tries to take it from him, they will be successful.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake looks like Xemnas' dragon thing stripped of its wings.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Basically... that video I linked ROFL. Up to 8:32

Character: Stella
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake is actually the very first snake she's ever seen!
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: A memory of the Pine Marten Ublaz Madeyes and a description of who he is, as well as Romsca would have known it. One of his most notable traits is the ability to hypnotize anyone who looks into his eyes; his most infamous show of power is the fact that he keeps a coral snake under his will with the power of his eyes.

[personal profile] oncedevil 2014-03-02 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Jessica
Character: Tony Sparado
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake pls. Proximity to Wise Snake and an encounter with a Scale, why is fighting strange monsters so familiar we just don't know.
Type and tier: Tier 2- physical change/mental.
What is returned: White hair, and with it the compulsion that draws him to a fight rather than fleeing like any sane, rational person would do.

This will absolutely end well for a squishy human let me tell you.

Keywords appropriate.

Player: Zackary
Character: Link

Reason for Echo: Riding Cinderella.
Type and tier: Tier 1 ability.
What is returned: His mad horse riding skillz. Boy knows how to handle himself in a saddle.

Reason for Echo: Jumping over a fence while riding Cinderella
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory.
What is returned: Memories of freeing Epona from Ingo. This memory contains how to play Epona's Song, which currently does nothing except sound nice since Epona is not around to hear it.

Reason for Echo: Storming the Farmhouse.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Item.
What is returned: An empty glass bottle. Yup, that's it.

Reason for Echo: WISESNAAAAAKE.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Item/Ability.
What is returned: The Hylian shield and his basic combat skills. This includes backflips, sidehops, the ability to infinitely chain front rolls, and the ability to somersault up stairs. This also includes his non magically powered spin attack. He can swing his sword in a circle, but there's nothing extra special about it. It's just a fancy sharp pirouette in its current form.
