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.

nowi_wins: (when I look up to the heavens)

Always late on these...

[personal profile] nowi_wins 2014-10-27 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ket
Character: Nowi(Nora Drake)
Reason for Echo: Pink light in Germany
Type and tier: Tier 2
What is returned: Manakete lifespan. Manaketes typically live a few thousand years. She's not immortal, but she'll age very very slowly from now on. (Not that she knows about it, but she'll be waiting a loooong time on growing up now.)

scarlet_devil: ([Adult] What the...)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-10-28 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Dealing with an out of control vampire.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: The memory of Flandre going on a rampage after something triggered her.
wastingtime: (r; there is no form)

[personal profile] wastingtime 2014-10-31 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Using the teleporter for the first time. I *believe* this would be considered a Plot Echo, but the fact that it's similar to his canon I think might cause it on its own were it not?
Type and tier: POWER - Tier 2
What is returned: Creating and using spacebridges.
Canonically, Vector Prime can open portals through space with the aid of his sword, crossing great distances in short walks. He could also hold these open for others to go through, but the longer he held open the portal, the more taxing it was on him.
Elian will be able to do the same - again, with the aid of his sword, which may be a difficulty on its own because he can't just walk around with the damn thing 24/7 - but he will be limited to within Echo Boundaries...and at least a bit of familiarity with the area. He can't just open it blindly; he'll need to have been there before, and/or a visual (ex a video through the network) in order to 'find' the place before spacebridging.
Attempting to open a spacebridge to an area outside of a boundary will result in an open spacebridge...but no exit point. A dead end, so to speak. As spacebridges usually come with a clear 'road', it'll become clear that it's not going to take anyone anywhere except back the way they came.

On a scientific note, this isn't so much traversing through another dimension as cutting/finding a path between two points and going through *that*.

flamberge: (Default)

[personal profile] flamberge 2014-10-31 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Olga
Character: Karl Aurion
Reason for Echo: Melissa is going to ask Karl to kill her if she goes into a frenzy again.
Type and tier: Tier 2, mental
What is returned: Memory of when Anna asked Kratos kill her after the exsphere got removed from her body. Anna went crazy and turned into a monster who attacked both Kratos and their infant son, Lloyd. In a moment of clarity, she asked Kratos to kill her and he did when she attacked Lloyd again. Similarly to Anna, Melissa is a woman who Karl loves and one who went crazy before charging him with the task of killing her.

Karl will recall up until actually killing her but nothing past that. For the Tier 2 part, he will recall all the emotions felt during this moment.
wastingtime: 30 Seconds to Mars - "From Yesterday" (Default)

aaand soon after the other one

[personal profile] wastingtime 2014-11-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Mindy
Character: Elian Price
Reason for Echo: Talking about wings/flight with Julian here. It's sort of a combination between the Wings thing and actually, seriously discussing how flight could/would work with them.
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: The memory that he once had wings for flight, too, though they were a lot different than Julian's own.




I'm aware this is somewhat of a loose connection, but I feel that there's enough here to justify a try. I figure that if this is approved, I can steer the thread towards a more *specific* reminder that will prompt the actual Echo if necessary, but if it's not it'll just go wherever it goes!
truthcharted: (Default)

[personal profile] truthcharted 2014-11-02 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Kevin Steele || Chrono Harlaown
Reason for Echo: Fuyuka finally cornering Kevin that the three of them might all be from the same "past". Specifically, mentioning that they might have been colleagues, or siblings.
Type and tier: Recurrence, T1: Memory
What is returned: Kevin already knows about Fate, he just doesn't know how the names match up, or that Fuyuka is Fate's reincarnation. This will fix that; Kevin sees a scene of Chrono, his mother, and Fate standing in a futuristic-looking courtroom. This is the trial of Fate Testarossa, charged with conspiracy to cause a dimensional dislocation, and accessory to assault on a Bureau clerk, and Chrono, as the Enforcer working the case, has been by Fate's side. Due to her age and a rather large set of extenuating circumstances, when the judge finds her guilty, he sentences her to compulsory Bureau service, under the supervision and (full legal) guardianship of Lindy Harlaown. This, handily, makes Chrono the next best thing to Fate's brother, especially since Chrono remains the head Enforcer on the ship his mother commands. The fact that it's clicking now, on the other hand, is a signal to Kevin that Fuyuka is... probably right on the mark with her comments.
scarlet_devil: (Pain)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-11-02 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Getting killed.
Type and tier: Tier 1, or would it be 2? Physical.
What is returned: Undeath. Basically, after getting staked, she won't stay truly dead and will soon get back up and proceed to ruin the day of her attackers.
Edited 2014-11-02 20:53 (UTC)

[personal profile] knights_king 2014-11-02 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Dan
Character: Arthur York [personal profile] knights_king
Reason for Echo: Emilia gets staked, Arthur thinks she's going to die. Essentially, he realizes that trying not to hurt his enemies is a terrible strategy, especially when trying to defend his loved ones. Essentially, this would corrupt his 'heroic' ideal that he shouldn't hurt anyone if he can help it.
Type and tier: Tier 2; Trait and Ability
What is returned: The 'Alter' personality that Saber takes on. Essentially, Saber was tortured by one of the magi in his Holy Grail War until he went insane and gained a personality much like Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night. The 'trait' would be his Alter personality, while the 'Ability' would be the ability for him to shift to the Alter 'form', which is a more physical aspect of that corruption. His Alter form gives him golden eyes and taints his armor and sword black, making him a demonic entity by nature.

prismaticdestruction: (Lost in the Insanity)

[personal profile] prismaticdestruction 2014-11-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Kati
Character: Dani/Flandre
Reason for Echo: Tier 2 Ablity (Monthly)
Type and tier: Watching Emi 'die' and being attacked by the 'Hunters'
What is returned: Destruction. Now, as I've said before, This power is one I do not like to use unless for Plot purposes or without Mod and Player permission but even at this point, I will be nerfing the living daylights out of it. I would say to get it fully back will probably take a few echos. (I leave that up to you guys, if need be, I can explain it more)

At the moment the target needs to stay relatively still or else she can lose her grip on the 'eye' and have difficulty getting it back. Also it takes a LOT of concentration to do so she can easily be knocked out of this. She can only use it once or twice a month due to the strain it puts on her, It will cause her to pass out and not wake back up for a few days. Even then she will still feel really weak for a day before starting to feel better. (This will prevent her from trying to use it a lot.)

If this isn't enough nerfs on it, let me know and I can see what we can do or if you have any ideas to add to this.

Player: Fae
Character: Killian Thorsson-Ryann
Reason for Echo: Being asked by L if he believed in Heaven and explaining that he doesn't really, but he does believe he'll see his mom again
Type and tier: Mental, one
What is returned: A little Dwarf Lore: when they die, they will be brought to the Halls of Mahal to wait with their ancestors until the remaking of Arda.
brotimaeus: (Default)

[personal profile] brotimaeus 2014-11-06 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Fiona
Character: Richard Stroud/Bro Strider
Reason for Echo: Plot Echo! The first time he uses the ~Transporter~ to go to a different location to see if he can find friendlier areas to get more reliable work, with the risk of him being outed as Numbered in Locke getting higher all the time.
Type and tier: Tier 1; Physical
What is returned: In trying to find a more secure spot for himself financially, Richard ends up with his preincarnation's bright orange eyes, making him all the easier to spot as one of the Numbered.. Good job :I
dominateartimus: (Lounging)

[personal profile] dominateartimus 2014-11-08 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Joc
Character: Xander Jarle / Sandrath
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel due to Xander saying "I take it some of your co-workers are insisting that you get some rest before you end up in the hospital for neglecting yourself?" to L, where San has said the same thing to Arthur after spending several days awake doing a lot of work.
Type and tier: 1, memory
What is returned: The conversation between San and Arthur about discussing the paramedic's unhealthy habits of being a work-a-holic even though Arthur has some supernatural endurance.
starlightheart: (Default)

[personal profile] starlightheart 2014-11-08 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Ken
Character: Natalie Tamura (Nanoha Takamachi)

Some super delayed stuff here, sorry!

Reason for Echo: Plot - Lights over Germany/Austria
Type and tier: Tier 1, Item
What is returned: A decent sized cache of Cartridges, ammunition for Raising Heart's... err, Cartridge System. She's fought so little she's literally been running off of one magazine for months but Refined Shell sort of depleted that.

Reason for Echo: Plot - Transporter use, utilized for the first time teleporting to Germany.
Type and tier: Tier 2 for October, Ability
What is returned: Nanoha's original, signature ultimate spell, the "Starlight Breaker." It's a variation of the Divine Buster which gathers all the scattered, depleted mana of magic user that has been spread across a given battle field and condenses it along with high output energy from Raising Heart and Nanoha to fire a massive, incredibly destructive beam of magical power. Due to its nature, it would be weaker at the start of a battle when little magic has been used by any given combatants than further in when people have been slinging attacks and spells all over the place.

Reason for Echo: Recurrence - Kevin mentioning the name of Fuyuka's preincarnation, "Fate Testarossa."
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Natalie remembers the blonde girl that was with Nanoha in her memories much more vividly - Fate Testarossa, someone who was very kind and gentle, yet burdened with some sort of great sadness.

[personal profile] seed_of_memory 2014-11-10 04:01 am (UTC)(link)

Character: Fuyuka Terasawa

Also some delayed stuff, heh.

Reason for Echo: Plot - Lights over Germany/Austria
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: Same as Natalie above, a cache of cartridges for Bardiche Assault.

Reason for Echo: Reoccurrence, Kevin telling her something here
Type and tier: Tier 1 - Memory
What is returned: Fuyuka regains memory of being tried for her crimes in the first series of the show, and being placed into the custody of Lindy Harlaown. She also recalls that Kevin's past self was the aforementioned individual's son.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Neutral)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2014-11-11 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Hearing 'Lady Emilia' spoken out loud by someone else.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: Just one little thing, the knowledge her past self was known as 'Lady Remilia.'
ghostly_heiress: (Default)

[personal profile] ghostly_heiress 2014-11-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Sair
Character: Danielle Masters (Dani Phantom)
Reason for Echo: Plot Recurrence. A lie involving Danny and 'running away.' Because she isn't convinced he's just running away, and is hoping she's just paranoid.
Type and tier: Memory, Type 1.
What is returned: When she first met Danny, in which she lies about running away from home to hide a worse truth and hoping the lie is believed.

waltharius: (judges are bullshit your honor)

[personal profile] waltharius 2014-11-16 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Zae
Character: Walter
Reason for Echo: Hunting/attempting to track a lost friend with all his hunting gear in tow. Locke's dangerous and he's paranoid.
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: Lizard Detection Stone. It can detect white-tailed lizards in the area. Aids in hunting/tracking them down efficiently.

Reason for Echo: Wolpertinger
Type and tier: Tier 2, memory/physical
What is returned: Memory of the fight with Quadratus, the 2nd colossus AND the associated Dormin chunk. Stamina + paleness + general increase in creepy demonic look, with the added bonus of pitch black blood.
ruleorserve: (the {noun} of Rassilon)

[personal profile] ruleorserve 2014-11-19 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Sceadu
Character: Archimedes "Emil" Keller
Reason for Echo: Talking to Lazarus about moving things from one place to another (in the context of teleportation/transferring a thing from one plane to another and back in an attempt to make a similar effect)
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: A memory of the TOMTIT machine - what it looks like, what the acronym stands for, what it does (moves things through "the space between the now and the now"), and that it somehow played a part in the summoning of Kronos. Like with the Keller machine, he won't recall that he actually made it, and neither will he remember how it actually works.
dead_black_eyes: "Secret Agent Man" (The world's filled with filth and lies)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-11-19 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: This mention of monsters; L questions whether or not his detective Other was one, whether he presented as frightening physically or not.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is Returned: The following monologue, spoken by L's character when asked by a child what frightens him:

There are many types of monsters in this world, monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble. Monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood, and, monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance, they are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans, even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat, even though they've never experienced hunger. They study even though the have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it, because in truth, I am that monster.
dead_black_eyes: "Secret Agent Man" (I fashioned you from jewels and stone)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-11-19 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: This thread, where Elian, a old man, hugs him and tells him that he tried to shoulder too much, realized it, and asked for help, and this makes him a man.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: In canon, L has a seldom-absent, elderly handler. While he's remembered an old man with a mustache in an earlier echo, I'd like him to get more detail back with this echo; the fact that he called this handler "Watari" (the Japanese word for "handler," super creative) and that he shouldered many of L's burdens, preventing him from going too far by serving as a voice of restraint and reason and taking care of many mundane physical needs. For the first time, there's a sense that his other felt affection and respect for another human being, something Lazarus has been doubting up to this point.

Player: Kira
Character: Blaine Frost / Ymir
Reason for Echo: First teleporter usage
Type and tier: Tier one, physical
What is returned: Her full titan appearance. She already has most of it, but there's little bits lacking still - this echo basically brings her titan to canonical dimensions and looks.

Reason for Echo: First wolpertinger encounter
Type and tier: Tier two, mental
What is returned: Losing her mind aka becoming a dumb titan that's only out to nom humans and lacks intelligence past that of a deviant titan (aka one who is hard to predict). The second half of the echo is the ability to sense humans and that she is attracted to them in a "wanna eat" way.
espigeonage: (Default)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-11-21 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Recurrence. Listening to Blaine talk about Titans and how people who fight them sometimes turn into them.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: The phrase "the mummy hunter becomes a mummy", a Japanese equivalent to "if you can't beat 'em join em" but with the connotation that "becoming a mummy" may be involuntary. Yuuya references it once.

Reason for Echo: Swandog wolpertingers
Type and tier: Tier 1, physical
What is returned: The remaining human organs and tissues he's got become birdy, though still shaped to fit a semihuman body shape. Slightly lower weight, more streamlined, the immediately noticeable thing is his mouth defaulting to dry and his saliva being less watery and more slippery.

Player: Alec
Character: Chinen Shou | Sho
Reason for Echo: Canon echo - basically this question here - thanks L, no really
Type and tier: Tier 1 - memory
What is returned:
It's never mentioned outright, but from the way the vampires acted in the movie, it's safe to assume that vampires from Sho's canon can stop drinking blood from a victim but suffer a kind of drugged haze. This is shown with Luka, who was forced to flee while in the middle of feeding and was weak and dizzy for some time after.

So basically Shou is going to remember that it's dangerous to stop in mid-meal for both the vampire and the human - it can cause the human to bleed out, while the vampire remains pretty weak and possibly hungrier. It could be done, but carefully and Shou isn't sure how since Kei never told him anything outright about it.
