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: Lisa
Character: Rex
Reason for Echo: seeing a human hand turn into machinery turn into a buzzsaw
Type and tier: tier 1, memory
What is returned: knowing how his own sword/buzzsaw looks when he forms it.

WHOOP, SORRY, CHANGING MY MIND. I'd like for him to get some of the mental blueprints of the sword/buzzsaw--namely, the blueprint/mechanical specifics of how the sword expands into the buzzsaw. (He won't get the blueprints for building out the actual sword in the first place, though, because then he'd actually be able to do it and that would be too much for a tier 1.)

Player: Katie
Character: Belle/Belphegor
Reason for Echo: Walking through a long hallway on a lower floor of a recently-wrecked building in search of an item lost in the Wise Snake confusion unwittingly recreates the atmosphere of the underground tunnel connecting Kinzo's main mansion to Kuwadorian, where the fortune of gold is hidden.

Type and tier: Tier 2 item/memory

What is returned: The first line of the Witch's Epitaph

Behold the sweetfish river running through my beloved hometown.
You who seek the Golden Land, follow its path downstream in search of the key


And a single gold ingot engraved with the crest of the one-winged eagle.

(in her home canon, the vast fortune of gold belongs to Belphegor's master, Beatrice...but I would like this single ingot to give Belle something to dig on at a later point in her development that she, herself, is nothing more than a small fragment of Beatrice.)
vetala: ([Shrug] i don't even know what even)

[personal profile] vetala 2014-03-21 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Surge
Character: Kanti Singh (Kanaya Maryam)
Reason for Echo: I'm planning on Kanti taking a hit from the mutated version of Crab that the The Best Fucking Search Team Ever is going to find in the warehouse when they find Karson and Ava's body in this log, and I wanted to get the echo out of the way so I could plan what happens after more effectively. It's going to be an abdominal wound, so...
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Physical/Ability
What is returned:
Physical - The massive hole Kanaya got in her abdomen from when Eridan killed her. It's a prominent feature in the story line initially, but then seems to go away eventually, which brings me to...
Ability - The capacity to endure and heal from grievous injuries, which most trolls seem to have, but considering Kanaya came back from the dead, hers is probably a lot better than your average troll's.
It's never specified how Kanaya heals her wounds, or if they even really heal properly at all or if she's just good at hiding them. Because of that, I've had to resort to headcanon, and the theory I go with is that depending on the amount and color of the blood she drinks, that's how well her wounds heal. Since her wound doesn't seem to vanish until after she drinks from Sollux, I imagine the way it would work would be that the lower the color on the hemospectum, the better it heals. Evolutionary, it would make sense, since lowbloods are more common than highbloods, and easier to access.
If the details seem a bit too headcanon-y and this doesn't work for an ability, than just the basics from the first sentence will suffice and we can leave it a mystery.
dead_black_eyes: "Secret Agent Man" (Will you listen to my proof)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-03-21 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus Lawliet
Reason for Echo: This talk, in which L says something he did in canon, word for word: specifically, "let's value our lives", which he said in the series after his task force introduced themselves to him by their real names.
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: L recalls that his previous self never gave his real name to anyone.
hustru: Blond woman with a cat on her arm staring into the camera with a neutral expression that could be read as disapproving (Default)

Character: Siiri / Sweden

Reason for Echo: Sparring with an axe
Type and tier: Ability 1
What is returned: Ability to fight with an axe

Reason for Echo: Sparring with daggers
Type and tier: Ability 1
What is returned: The ability to fight with daggers against an opponent who is larger than her (which means that it somewhat compromised right now and will need adjustments)

Reason for Echo: Sparring with a sword
Type and tier: Ability 1
What is returned: The ability to fight with a sword.

[personal profile] chernobolt 2014-03-21 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Len
Character: Kara/Starfire
Reason for Echo: This portion of her conversation with Jacuzzi, talking about how the bonds of close friends are unbreakable.
Type and tier: Tier 1 (memory)
What is returned: The opening scene of How Long Is Forever - trying to celebrate Blothog and finding her friends bickering, ending with Robin telling her that they'll be friends forever.

Player: Misty
Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
Reason for Echo: Encountering ghost Aria in the park
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Power/Ability
What is returned: The ability to see and speak with ghosts/spirits.
hollowleg: they r so fashionable yes yes sparkle (Default)

[personal profile] hollowleg 2014-03-22 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Bat
Character: Shiro Nakamura
Reason for Echo: Talking to/seeing Ghost!Aria
Type and tier: Physical Tier 1
What is returned: The ability to see and communicate with ghosts

THAT SAID, there seems to be some confusion among players as to whether there are NPC ghosts. People killed during the wise snake attack, for example. Do these ghosts exist? Because I know, back in THE DAY, when Krystal apped Ichigo, she was told there were no NPC ghosts at all. Has that changed?
evowhisperer: Made by Zalein! (Outside looking in)

[personal profile] evowhisperer 2014-03-22 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Zalein
Character: Cesar Sanchez-Ortiz/Caesar Salazar
Reason for Echo: His NPC older brother has gone missing, and no one knows why or how.
Type and tier: Memory Tier One
What is returned: Memory of a span of a few seconds from preincarnation when Cesar was checking up on the status of his missing brother, Rex (played here as [personal profile] swissarmyjesus. He remembers the face, the name (Rex Salazar), and a glimpse of his emotions from when he was still missing.
dirtdevil: (~ giving 110%)

[personal profile] dirtdevil 2014-03-22 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Alison
Character: Levi
Reason for Echo: Trying (very unsuccessfully) to beat some sense into titan Alan in the finale
Type and tier: 2, memory/ability
What is returned: The basic recollection that wrangling titan Eren was his responsibility, plus the ability to actually do that (meaning the last 3DMG skill upgrade and thus full recovery of his preincarnation's bullshit ability). I've been trying to space this out so not to go straight from having never used it to being ~the best ever~, so hopefully this works out okay!

Player: Jess
Character: Owen Thalberg/ Owain
Reason for Echo: Thorir saying his past life could have been a thief or other ne'er-do-well, and Owen's complete denial of this idea.
Type and tier: Tier 1 physical
What is returned: His Exalt brand, the mark (most) of the Ylissian royal family has, and proof of their birth and right to bare Falchion
twelfthspark: ([:|a] if what they say is true)

[personal profile] twelfthspark 2014-03-22 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: DC
Character: Arlene
Reason for Echo: Dammit, Dante.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: She's not 100% sure what they were, but she knows that destroying the Heartless was necessary to make Kingdom Hearts.
radiantchicken: (Default)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2014-03-22 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Torin
Reason for Echo: In this thread, he's getting into his first real direct fight with anyone, and there is another freaky-looking bird-thing there, too. He fou
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: Torin's sense of courage and bravery. He's already sort of partially got it back as far as "giant monsters attacking the city" go, and he's already been a rather courageous bird, but this would just make things more formal--the bird will be brave enough that in canon, he was able to turn himself into the living incarnation of bravery. (He will not be becoming this incarnation with this echo; he will just be attaining the appropriate levels of bravery.)
youngestone: (Booze!)

Character: Killian Ryan/Kíli
Reason for Echo: Drinking with his dad, the first time he's had any alcohol.
Type and tier: Physical, one
