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: Merav
Character: Emil/Hamel
Reason for Echo: Using the teleporter for the first time
Type and tier: Mental, tier 2
What is returned: Hamel’s encyclopedic knowledge of classical music (from the Baroque era to the early 1900s). Emil will regain it bit by bit, though reading about a certain composer/learning their work will trigger relevant details.

siesinddasessen: (a distant memory)

[personal profile] siesinddasessen 2014-08-23 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Kira
Character: Ymir/Blaine Frost
Reason for Echo: head cultist badge
Type and tier: Tier 2 August, Physical+memory
What is returned: The memory of losing a fight to titans (at castle Utgard, but the context is lacking) and re-emerging from her titan, up until she's held by Historia.
And the injuries that she retains during this battle. They'll show in real time, too =D


Character: Thorir /Thorin II Oakenshield
Reason for Echo: Learning that Hjalti removed/tattoed over the mjolnir-tattoo that they and their siblings got together as a sibling thing, and realizing just how much that meant to him (he's never really thought much about what it means to him before, it was just something that he had and his siblings had too).
Type and tier: tier 1, physical
What is returned: Thorin's tattoos: this and this.
umbrael: (Human • Angry)

[personal profile] umbrael 2014-08-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Rex
Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: A little pre-emptive, but using the teleporter for the first time as he heads to Vegas for the conference.
Type and tier: Tier 1 Ability, Plot Echo
What is returned: HIS EARRING GETS ITS SHAPESHIFTING POWERS BACK!

Which is to say, as long as he is wearing the earring, he can alternate between big ol' dinosaur form and his old human form. Well, human-ish, it still looks off, red eyes, pointed ears, red nails, sharp teeth, etc. (you can kind of see it in this icon here!) But at a glance, he's human enough, right?

The switch can be activated when he flicks his ear in either form. If the earring comes off, he instantly turns back into a dinosaur. The human form comes with clothes, but it's part of an illusion/pre-packaged magical form. He could take those clothes off, but they'd vanish when he switches back to his natural form, and are back on him when he switches to human. Regular clothes and so on do not shapeshift with him, which means he's stuck with this look for a very long time unless he's careful to strip off the regular clothes before transforming.

youngestone: (Clinging Tightly)

[personal profile] youngestone 2014-08-24 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Fae
Character: Killian Ryan/Kíli
Reason for Echo: Getting tattooed
Type and tier: Physical, one
What is returned: My headcanon tattoos for Kíli--there's reason to believe ink is a Thing for Dwarves, including official concept art of at least one of Dwarves who have no visible tattoos in the movie with some. None of these would be visible, on his arms and back and mostly geometric designs.

Reason for Echo: Filing to have his name legally changed.
Type and tier: Mental, one
What is returned: In Tolkien, Dwarves have a use-name (Kíli, Balin, Gimli), and a secret, Khuzdul name that very few people know but is as much their real name as the name they go by. Killian will be echoing back the knowledge that this was a thing but not what Kíli's was (largely because Tolkien told us they had two names and never bothered to tell us what they were).
guitar_case_vagabond: (Default)

[personal profile] guitar_case_vagabond 2014-08-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Nick
Character: Raye Satterfield

radiantchicken: (Human)

[personal profile] radiantchicken 2014-08-25 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Torin
Reason for Echo: This comment, in which he's asked if dinosaurs breathe fire.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: The knowledge that the Voltasaur Allomerus could, in fact, breathe fire.

Reason for Echo: If this is a plot Echo, please state which plot is acting as the trigger. If this is a canon recurrence/parallel Echo, please clearly explain how the reason for the Echo parallels canon.
Type and tier: This discussion, in which the idea of magic having saved the earth and some dinosaurs comes up.
What is returned: The knowledge that music was very important to saving his world in the end.
sylvanguard: (Default)

[personal profile] sylvanguard 2014-08-25 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lills
Character: Ariel Boisvert/ Tauriel
Reason for Echo: Mafia attack from this log
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory x2

In canon, Tauriel refuses to toss the weapon to Kili because a dwarf. In this rendition she refuses to toss a dagger to Liam because he is a klutz. She will also remember that her past self was alright with killing things like orcs and other creatures.

What is returned: The memory she receives is that conversation with Kili and then the second would be the memory of being cool with killing things like orcs and other stuff that attacks her/ Evil.



espigeonage: (Default)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-08-26 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien/Yuuya
Reason for Echo: Recurrence. Julien tries to break into Liam's house. As a spy Yuuya is a master of unauthorized access, physical locks included. His brother's fancy security isn't much of a deterrent.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Ability
What is returned: Lock subversion skills, based around prehensile feather dexterity. Nothing instant or infallible, but he's got a good chance of getting past most of them.
squicksilver: any card! (pick a card!)

[personal profile] squicksilver 2014-08-26 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Beren
Character: Alex Mercure | Xerxes Break
Reason for Echo:1. The end of the cultist's meeting, when everything goes sideways and turns into pandemonium, is a strong reminder of Oz's coming of age party at Isla Yura's mansion, that turned into a festival of decapitation and burning.
2. The earthquake is a reminder of when Jack Vessalius cut the chains holding the world up (which caused earthquakes).
Type and tier: Tier 1, canon recurrence (x2)
What is returned: 1. A memory of the fire and panic at Isla Yura's mansion, and specifically grabbing Elliot Nightray's wrist and accusing him of being the Headhunter. And not seeing too much of anything.
2. Remembering that a madman tried to destroy his world.

Player: Gilbert
Character: Åsa/Finland
Reason for Echo: Mafia plot echo/seeing someone killed for the first time
Type and tier: Tier 2 for August: item/ability
What is returned: Finland's sniper rifle and and a scary and almost inhumanly accuracy with it and other riffles/pistols. Gun in canon and wiki to what it most likely is

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2014-08-27 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Tao
Character: Cecil Keller | Kevin Cecil
Reason for Echo: Experiencing the earth tremors in Vegas. here!
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: The memory of the attempt on William's life during the Walpurgis Night, which ends with Dantalion breaking the crystal barrier Kevin set around William's school. The demonic attack and barrier rupture is so intense that it causes the ground to shake and a part of the chapel's ceilings to fall off.

[personal profile] proudbraveandtall 2014-08-28 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Tai
Character: Hjalti Thorsson/Dwalin

Reason for Echo: Thorir having him work in the smithy for the first time in two decades.
Type and tier: Tier 2 for August, Ability/Ability
What is returned: Dwarven smithing skill and dwarven leatherworking skill.

Reason for Echo: He went to get his family tattoo fixed/replaced (he had it done over after the schism) and get a new one of his fiance's and son's names.
Type and tier: Type 1, Physical
What is returned: All of Dwalin's tattoos on top of his own (not in replacement), which are more or less a pictorial history of the line of Durin

Reason for Echo: Erebor suddenly showing up in Las Vegas and him seeing it on the news and in network broadcasts
Type and tier: Type 1, Memory
What is returned: The memory of sailing across the Long Lake on the final approach to the Lonely Mountain and the subsequent search for the hidden door

[personal profile] umbrael 2014-08-28 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Rex
Character: Doyle / Umbrael
Reason for Echo: Plot Echo - seeing the cultist symbol!
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory
What is returned: Memory that he used to be a god (or king, or leader, or caretaker) of his kind. Well - he was immortal and powerful and ancient, and ruled over other Kheliosaurs. Pretty much a god, though his past self seemed reluctant sometimes to outright say it for some reason.
nowi_wins: (soar in the purple light)

[personal profile] nowi_wins 2014-08-29 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ket
Character: Nora Drake(Nowi)
Reason for Echo: Robyn requesting a dragon ride.
Type and tier: Tier one, memory
What is returned: The memory that she used to offer dragon rides to kids. (They were usually too scared to accept though.)
abhero: illbillyou @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] abhero 2014-08-29 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Merav
Character: Emil/Hamel
Reason for Echo: Using magical music on Vermedi to make it more docile.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: Memory of using magical music to charm animals… only to bash their heads in with the violin and cook them.
italktofish: (I'M BATMAN)

[personal profile] italktofish 2014-08-30 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: Coming face-to-face with the gigantic crustacean underneath Las Vegas.
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2.
What is returned: Arthur will get his hydrokinesis--the ability to control water--back. He will be able to control and shape water. This will allow him to do things like create a solid sword out of water (it's not ice, just...hardened water because comics physics are weird), create waves, throw solid balls of hard water, and so on. He will also Echo back the knowledge of how to use this.
peacefulwinter: (Default)

[personal profile] peacefulwinter 2014-08-30 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa
Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: using Project Jump for the first time.
Type and tier: T1: Item
What is returned: A new Loveads! There's a picture of a baby's bottle on it. When used in her Commune, Winter gets... a baby's bottle. This is one of a series of Loveads that provide handy baby tools for the girls to raise Ai-chan, which are useless to Winter.

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: A first meeting with the cultists, at the invite-only event.
Type and tier: T2 (August): Memory + Ability
What is returned: Cure Diamond's last unique ability (skipping one and coming back to it later), Diamond Blizzard. It comes in two flavors - the version used in the movie, which freezes something solid, and the version from the end of the TV show, which creates a massive diamond-shaped prism of ice, encasing everything inside... herself included. It's also a very strong purification skill, but that's likely not going to be her primary use, as Diamond's ice is pretty resistant to damage. It'll basically function as a perfect defense for a minute or two, in exchange for taking her out of the action. After a bit, the effect ends; it drops Diamond, who'll be extremely tired for a minute, but functional. Rikka ignores the usual things that should make using this kill her - namely being encased in ice and unable to breathe - because Precure logic.

I am giving her back the TV version first; I know she can use both, but this one's the version I'll show her first. And I do mean show - she'll also get back a memory of a tough fight somewhere, surrounded by what must be at least a hundred monsters. (Unknown to Winter, this is the final battle against King Selfishness, and she's inside its throat, covering for Mana, Makoto, and Regina, who have gone ahead.) Diamond's putting up a good fight, but she's just being overwhelmed. Still... something's driving her. Something that's enough to resonate with her power, and Diamond's body is covered in blue wisps, like the time Winter got knocked through a building in March. She pulls her Love Heart Arrow, and uses the Diamond Shower Loveads, but... this isn't the same. The power flowing through is enough for Winter to feel across space and time, and as the power fires, there's nothing for a moment, then a sharp feeling of... being suspended in something. Diamond smiles, then her eyes slide shut, and that's all Winter sees. Using this version of Diamond Blizzard requires Winter to be similarly driven, enough to have extra power (extra "love") to burn.

Reason for Echo: Post regarding dragons possibly existing in Vegas.
Type and tier: T1: Memory
What is returned: Dragons, you say? We fought one of those. Winter will see a glimpse of a fight between a massive dragon and her team, inside a cavern. The thing breathes fire, and it's stronger than they are; one by one, Diamond, Rosetta, Sword, and Ace are all picked off, despite their best efforts. It's Mana's sheer will that lets Heart push through, ignoring a flaming breath weapon and charging through to deliver a single, powerful punch - but she doesn't make it. Just before Heart makes contact, she suddenly stops, falling to the ground, and popping out of form once she hits. All Winter will know is Diamond shouting Mana's name and starting to run over before the memory ends.

Player: Lisa
Character: Weenie Fenton
Reason for Echo: babby's first teleport
Type and tier: tier 1, ability
What is returned: GHOST BIOLOGY 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO, it's gonna get a little weirder and Danny will be able to stretch his body/separate it a little further for longer, and in more extreme ways. Like...remember that scene from the second Harry Potter movie where the bones in Harry's arms were just gone and it was all floppy and pliant? Danny will be able to do that. Pretzel arms go.

Reason for Echo: babby's first cultists
Type and tier: tier 1, ability
What is returned: GHOST BIOLOGY 3: SON OF GHOST BIOLOGY. Building off the last one, he'll be able to just. straight up. pop off limbs. And then reattach them later, no big. Basically just taking the "he can separate parts of himself for a few moments" part of his powerset and amplifying it.

Player: Jessica
Character: Anthony Sparado
Reason for Echo: Echo recurrence/familiarity
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental/kind of a memory but more a sense of familiarity and knowledge?
What is returned: While talking with Anthony (the other Anthony hurr) the subject of priests being possessed came up, thus sparking a general sense of understanding and familiarity with that sort of thing. Possessions, specifically. Not a direct memory exactly more a sense of one if that makes sense?

[personal profile] siesinddasessen 2014-08-31 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Kira
Character: Thorir / Thorin II Oakenshield

Reason for Echo: Forcefully claiming the Lonely Mountain as "his" for the first time.
Type and tier: 1, mental
