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: Jovan Burzek
Reason for Echo: using Project Jump for the first time
Type and tier: tier 1, mental change?
What is returned: His capacity to give a fuck is lowered--less self-consciousness, less of a filter from his brain to his mouth, lessened sense of what's socially acceptable and what's not. (Look, I'm just trying to make him into more of the asshole he was always destined to be)

Reason for Echo: CRAB BATTLE CRAB BATTLE
Type and tier: tier 1, mental change?
What is returned: Being British as FUCK. So, getting back his good ol' accent and speech patterns and overwhelming compulsion to type everything with a u in it.
truthcharted: (I don't see a problem.)

[personal profile] truthcharted 2014-09-25 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Kevin Steele | Chrono Harlaown
Reason for Echo: Lily's talking about the Heartcatch Mirage eating herself and Winter. Back in the Book of Darkness case, that particular magic item ate Fate when she tried to subdue its wielder, and trapped her inside a simulated pocket dimension where she lived with her (otherwise dead) sister in harmony.
Type and tier: Tier 1: Memory
What is returned: The name Fate Testarossa-Harlaown, and the nondescript "image" of extremely long blonde hair and red eyes to go with it. The name "Book of Darkness" and that it refers to a magic item, a "Lost Logia", and that he doesn't like it. And surveillance footage (from high orbit, but he doesn't know that) of said blonde (maybe nine or ten years old), wearing a black leotard and little else while holding a massive yellow blade, charging a woman with jet-black wings and holding a book. As she gets close, the woman raises a hand, and the book glows, and there's a bright flash. When the light clears, the girl is gone.

Player: Razorsaw
Character: Fuyuka Terasaw
Reason for Echo: Lily Tsukuyomi talking about being absorbed into the Heartcatch Mirage. This parallels how she herself was absorbed into the Book of Darkness and placed into a pocket dimension within.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: Fuyuka remembers being in battle as a younger girl, and that she is rushing a woman in black with wings. However, her attack proves futile, and she's struck back. Both herself and the Book glow brightly, and she is absorbed into the Book as her best friend Nanoha calls out her name.

Player: Mark
Character: Liam Benedict / Legolas

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: Lobster/Crab battle thing. September 2014
Type and tier: Tier 2 Memory
What is returned: Memory of a short conversation with Gimli + Knowing that "Gimli" is the name of the Dwarf he was talking to.

Gimli: Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf.
Legolas: What about side by side with a friend?
Gimli: Aye, I could do that.

If this is not cool let me know I have other options

Player: Pyjak
Character: Yelena Lyre (Yang Xiao Long)
Reason for Echo: Trying to get Dani to come out of her shell and get her to join the party more.
Type and tier: Tier 1: Memory
What is returned: She gets back the memory of trying to give Ruby a bit of a pep-talk regarding Weiss and the disastrous first impression her little sister made.

[personal profile] guitar_case_vagabond 2014-09-26 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Nick
Character: Senketsu
Reason for Echo: Discussing partners with Lily, specifically Cologne's demise.
Type and tier: Memory. Tier-1
What is returned: HIS DEATH. Memory includes dropping back through the atmosphere and burning up after saying his goodbyes to Ryuko.

Player: Olga
Character: Karl Aurion
Reason for Echo: Using the transporter to go to Vegas for the first time
Type and tier: Tier 2, item and mental
What is returned: His Judgment aka bondage outfit knight uniform and the knowledge that it is a knight uniform. A very weird, very impractical knight uniform.
purestambition: (Default)

[personal profile] purestambition 2014-09-26 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ken
Character: Saretha Kaiser (Satsuki Kiryuin)

Reason for Echo: Plot - Vermaxi Encounter
Type and tier: Tier 2 for September, Memory + Ability
What is returned: The ability to manipulate Junketsu's form into other shapes. While certainly Satsuki is not covered in an awful lot of armor, she can will Junketsu to take on other shapes to suit her needs in battle - such as a shoulder morphing into a drill, or another one shooting out and embedding itself to be used like a grappling hook. It's a multi-versatile skill and one Ryuko showed in canon often as well, morphing Senketsu into various shapes, such as sword arms. While Senketsu is able to evolve to greater heights of power than Junketsu in the long run, their base abilities are parallel - as such, that should give a better idea of other things Junketsu would be possible of.

She also regains the knowledge of how to utilize this.

Reason for Echo: Recurrence - Witnessing Senketsu communicating
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Upon seeing Senketsu communicating on the Network, Saretha regains a sense of remembering a time when Satsuki heard his voice. She doesn't understand the context, but it tells her that he is, indeed, different from Junketsu in that he really is a thinking, feeling creature.

Reason for Echo: Recurrence - Coming against an opponent that resembles a GIANT FREAKING CRAB
Type and tier: Type 1, Memory
What is returned: Saretha remembers Satsuki on a battlefield, a city on fire, facing off against... a guy in a giant mecha crab alongside one of her subordinates, Uzu Sanageyama. Her remaining Elite Four arrive, granting a new Three Star Goku Uniform to Sanageyama who proceeds to defeat the giant crab robot guy.

Ending with his weapon lodged up the guy's backside.

YEP.

Reason for Echo: Plot - Refined Shell
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory + Memory
What is returned: (For the sake of brevity, I'm truncating the descriptions of these this time, I can elaborate if need be.)

PART 1: Another flashback! A younger Satsuki once again facing off against a particular young fighter, intent on defeating her. Namely, Sanageyama in yet another example of "why this person ends up following Satsuki."

PART 2: Yet another flashback, this time the young Satsuki saving a young hacker who is caught hacking into the systems of her family's company, Revocs. There, she makes him an offer to join her at Honnouji Academy.

The two memories are related as they are the moments in which the other half of her Elite Four, besides Nonon and Gamagoori, were inspired to join her.
hotshots: ([L] - 0028)

[personal profile] hotshots 2014-09-26 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ken
Character: Neil Dylandy (Lockon Stratos)
Reason for Echo: Plot - Refined Shell
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory + Memory
What is returned: PART 1: A memory of Lockon's raw, unrelenting anger for terrorism, at its source the leader of the terrorists that he knows took the lives of his family - Ali Al Saachez.

PART 2: Lockon's final battle against Saachez. Half blind, he loses himself to his anger, fighting sloppily, and somewhat stupidly. He winds up with the Gundam trashed to hell, and uses a last ditched effort of slipping outside into space to fire a left over weapon. He manages to hit Saachez's Gundam, but there is a resulting explosion, and...

Well.

Lockon's not long for this world. He remembers his final moments, floating through space, and... that is all.
thebalrogslayer: (Default)

[personal profile] thebalrogslayer 2014-09-26 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Gilbert
Character: Glorfindel/Gabriel
Reason for Echo: Liam talking about his balrog echoes Glorfindel's death, when he was pulled off a mountain side by a balrog. He's already remembered that he took one on in a life/death struggle, but since Liam talks about someone falling off the cliff in correlation to it it's a pretty close description of what happened to Glorfindel (even if he's actually talking about Gandalf. Apparently the only surefire way to take out a balrog is to go down with it).
Type and tier: Tier 2, ability and memory
What is returned: The memory of his death and elven immortality: he'll no longer age, and while he can die by unnatural means (ie violence) old age/illness won't affect him any more.

If it's not enough for immortality, I'm happy to just go with the memory as a tier 1 echo

[personal profile] arrowpoint 2014-09-26 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Mark
Character: Liam Benedict / Legolas

Reason for Echo: Liam being deep inside Erebor.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental
What is returned: Legolas' intense dislike of being very deep underground. Which is ironic because he grew up in a cave. Fail, Legolas. Canonically accurate, though, promise.
waltharius: (heads up)

[personal profile] waltharius 2014-09-26 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Zae
Character: Walter
Reason for Echo: Proximity to CRAB BATTLE
Type and tier: Tier 2 (bonus), creature/mental
What is returned: 77 white-tailed lizards and the urge to eat said tails to absorb their weird stamina-boosting powers.

Reason for Echo: Engaging in CRAB BATTLE -- a fight with a giant water monster.
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/physical
What is returned: Memory of the fight with Hydrus/the 7th colossus, which took place in water and, as always, involved plenty of giant monster stabbing. Associated Dormin chunk follows suit, which includes further degradation of Walter's appearance and a stamina boost.
starlightheart: (Default)

[personal profile] starlightheart 2014-09-26 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Ken
Character: Natalie Tamura (Nanoha Takamachi)
Reason for Echo: Plot - Refined Shell
Type and tier: Tier 2, Ability + Ability
What is returned: PART 1: Raising Heart's ability to transform into its "Buster Mode."

PART 2: The primary spell of that mode, "Divine Buster" - a high impact, massive beam of magical energy capable of considerable destruction. Its power can be a bit variable, dependent on what level of power Nanoha herself is wielding, what form she's in, and just how many Cartridges she loads into the attack.

Reason for Echo: Plot - Cultist Symbol
Type and tier: Tier 2,
What is returned: PART 1: Transformation into Nanoha's Barrier Jacket in Aggressive Mode. The Barrier Jacket, as its name implies, applies considerably more protection than one might see for any normal person. The outfit is effectively its own, physically generating magical barrier, capable of deflecting attacks on its wearer, as well as giving an impression of increased strength.

PART 2: Yet more defense. Round Shield is a commonly used Defense spell, creating a ... stay with me here... ROUND shield of magical energy before the uses. Its use is limited to the number of free hands you can muster up, as Nanoha has utilized two at once in the past.

They are connected by way of... well, both are magic from Raising Heart capable of defending its user.

Player: Josh
Character: Robyn Lyre
Reason for Echo: Plot - Refined Shell
Type and tier: Ability Tier-2
What is returned: Ability 1- Increased Strength. Enough to comfortably lift and use a giant gunscythe. (She does not have the skill to actually use this properly use this yet.) Ability 2 - Improved Marksmanship - She knows how to use sniper-rifles properly. These abilities are related through her very specialized fighting style of sniper-rifle-scythe-fu

[personal profile] youngestone 2014-09-26 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Fae
Character: Killian Ryan/Kíli
Reason for Echo: The crab battle (NOT a plot one, the battle directly relates to the echo I'm requesting)
Type and tier: Memory, One
What is returned: The memory of the attack on Laketown thanks to Smaug. A giant red monster is attacking a town right by Erebor--even if we don't know what's going on in that scene yet, Kíli most certainly was a witness.
sunshinethatwarmsherup: (confused blushing)

[personal profile] sunshinethatwarmsherup 2014-09-26 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Mags
Character: Linda Hidaka/Miku Kohinata
Reason for Echo: Plot
Type and tier: Tier 2 (Refined Shell), Ability and Ability
What is returned: Part 1: The ability to activate her Symphogear and actually transform into a magical girl (but not the LiNKER drug in her blood that'd let her actually do it. This just gives her back the ability to transform it when she actually echoes back her only canonical dose of said drug).

Part 2: Her Armed Gear of her Symphogear, which is a closed metallic fan that can be used to strike her opponents with it. She needs to be transformed to use it, and it can take on alternate forms, but with this echo she only gets back the fan in it's closed form.

They're both related by being basic aspects of being a Symphogear user.

Character: Linda Hidaka/Miku Kohinata
Reason for Echo: Reccurance
Type and tier: Tier 1 Memory, triggered by helping people evacuate during the battle against Refined Shell
What is returned: Linda regains the memory of Miku assisting with evacuation during the Noise attack on Lydian Music Academy.
professorwolf: (Default)

[personal profile] professorwolf 2014-09-26 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Gail
Character: Randall/Randolph Lyall
Reason for Echo: Seeing the Refined Shell (and trying to rescue people from it)
Type and tier: Physical, tier 2
What is returned: Lyall's supernatural strength (which is only available after dark, not during the day) as well as his werewolf physique, which seems to me to go hand in hand. The latter isn't a HUGE difference (we're not talking Arthur, here, and his clothes will still pretty much all fit) but he'll be going from bog-standard, skinny geek to someone who had to physically work for a living before he was bitten, so the difference will be definitely noticeable.

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-09-26 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Blue
Character: Anthony
Reason for Echo: Proximity to Refined Shell.
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Mental + Mental
What is returned: Memory of Chattur'gha killing Xel'lotath and what Xel'lotath herself was - an Ancient and goddess of the mind and insanity.

[personal profile] knights_king 2014-09-26 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Dan
Character: Arthur York | Arthur Pendragon/Saber
Reason for Echo: Triggered by Arthur deciding to gamble for the first time in Vegas.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Ability/Talent.
What is returned: Arthur's obscene luck when it comes to gambling. His instinct does most of the work to tell him if an action will benefit him, but his 'luck' is what makes him a crazy gambler. Arthur, in his lifetime, had an uncanny gift in gambling, but never used it because it was a base habit he didn't enjoy. Arthur York would have no qualms about it at all!

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo! Fighting the CRAAAAAB
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Ability, Knowledge
What is returned: Arthur's ability to mold his armor, sword and Avalon into magical energy. Essentially, this means he can hide his magical artifacts and even repair them with his own magical energy. The end result? Magical girl transformations when he makes everything appear. Part 2 of this! Knowledge on how to do so, which complicates the use of it. Arthur can also use this not to just create his armor, but he can do nifty things like adapt the armor and put it on someone else or on a vehicle he's driving to make it a magical tank, essentially. The name of the ability is essentially 'psychokinesis', while the 2nd half is knowledge of the ability.

Player: Drizz
Character: Rakka Yoshitoshi
Reason for Echo: Crab battle!
Type and tier: Tier 2; memory
What is returned: The memory of her other self going to the wall that surrounds the town and touching it. It'll cause her to go numb and get a high fever.

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-09-27 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Seeing the cultist symbol.
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical.
What is returned: Emilia's hair starts to change color to a light lavender.
truthcharted: (I'll take care of it.)

[personal profile] truthcharted 2014-09-27 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Kevin Steele | Chrono Harlaown
Reason for Echo: Lobsterfest Vegas. Kevin's going in deep.
Type and tier: T2 (free): Item + Ability
What is returned: Chrono's second Device, Durandal; it's already active when he Echoes it back, for convenience. Durandal is a short staff maybe half as tall as kid!Chrono, so we'll call it maybe a two-foot scepter. As a Sealing Device, it can't think for itself, but it can answer simple direct queries, and it has a significant effect on focusing magic. While Chrono's magic doesn't really have an affinity for any particular element, Durandal itself is tuned for ice attacks.

Along with this, Kevin will get back Device 101, and his first spell: Stinger Blade, an offensive magic that creates swords of blue light. At some future point, he'll regain the second mode, Stinger Blade Execution Shift, which fills the sky with swords in a rather absurd fashion. The standard version generates a few swords, which can be guided before and after launch, with some focus. It's fairly efficient in terms of power, fortunately. Aside from this spell, Kevin will get back the basics of using a Device, namely that they're specialized computers, and that they have standby and active modes (and how to dismiss and call a Device).

Reason for Echo: Being close to ground zero as Toushirou activates his bankai, which scatters a frozen mist in the air as part of its setup.
Type and tier: T1: Memory
What is returned: Kevin will remember that he has a spell called Eternal Coffin, that it scatters frozen mist around the battlefield, and that he can collect it together to basically flash-freeze something. Even the information he's getting suggests it's powerful, but more importantly, that he doesn't have the control right now to cast it safely at all. He won't get back how to shape the magic to get it to cast, anyway, so that's not exactly a problem.

Player: Razorsaw
Character: Fuyuka Terasawa
Reason for Echo: Plot - Seeing the cultist symbol
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Ability + Ability
What is returned: Fuyuka regains Bardiche's ability to transform into its Haken form, along with the ability for it to use the Haken Saber. Haken Saber effectively transforms Bardiche into a scythe with a blade made of electrical energy, and allows it to throw said blade as a ranged attack.

Reason for Echo: Plot - Refined Shell
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Ability + Ability
What is returned: Two spells; the ability of flight in her transformed state and the ability Blitz Rush, which allows her to move at high speeds. These are both related in that they are movement/transport type spells.

Player: sabriel
Character: Filber Phineasson Darens | Fili
Reason for Echo: Entering Erebor for the first time after it appears in Vegas and seeing it completely empty of living things inside
Type and tier: Tier 2, Memory (September tier 2 echo)
What is returned: Dwarven history to do with the dwarves of Erebor, particularly tales of how Erebor fell to the dragon Smaug that drove the dwarves from their home and killed the rest of the dwarve in Erebor, leaving no one in it.

Player: Aave
Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: CRAB BATTLE
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory
What is returned: Two memories of big titan fights: first against Annie in Stohess (in which he is upset and confused, but completely in control and handles things very well) and second against Reiner by Wall Rose (in which he is utterly enraged, but manages to stay in control and use wrestling moves to win out against Reiner's armour)
