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: Gail
Character: Lyall
Reason for Echo: The pink light!
Type and tier: Item, tier 1
What is returned: The waistcoat of holding! ... as in, the waistcoat Lyall wears in canon which has lots of pockets on the inside and he can often be found pulling exactly what is needed in any given moment from inside it. No actual magical properties, just Lyall always being prepared ;)

Player: Trap
Character: Miles/Hope
Reason for Echo: Pink lights in Vegas on the news.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1.
What is returned: Knowledge of the Antimatter Manipulation Principle or AMP. It's ridiculously handwavy even in canon so the actual principle(s) is/are unknown-- its products range from propellers for airships/gunships, allowing people to simulate magic and other ridiculous videogame things. I basically think it's a principle/study that allows people to thoroughly destroy the laws of physics through technology. Not really sure if this will be okay with you guys though.

But if this does get approved, Miles will know the principle itself-- how it should work, limits and basics-- but not its products as seen in the games, or how to build gadgets with AMP/put AMP into existing gadgets.

Reason for Echo: Monsters on March 29. He'll bump into the iPod that runs on ANGER.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: A piece of maturity that makes him keep his temper from controlling him. It doesn't remove his temper outright because it's a growing up thing, but it will teach him to not bite someone's head off or say stupid shit just because he's pissed off.

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Seeing the Vegas pink lights on the news!
Type and tier: Physical (ability?) | Tier 1
What is returned: The partial return of whatever the heck it is that makes other supernatural creatures sense that he's a Grimm. This is never really explained in canon, but several times Wesen with an enhanced sense of smell have been shown reacting to it after sniffing the air, so for the purposes of the echo - any of the reincarnates with an enhanced sense of smell will be able to tell that Nick no longer smells quite human, but more like something predatory.


Character: Varric Tethras
Reason for Echo: Seeing pink lights on the news
Type and tier: Mental/Personality | Tier 1
What is returned: The preference for wearing shirts partially unbuttoned and showing off his chest a little, instead of his former immaculate button-ups and ties.
