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: Incardine
Character: Britany Ruff/Rita Mordio
Reason for Echo: Plot Echo from the Aliens' broadcast.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Echo for the month of April!
What is returned: Britany now has a Memory+Power - she can recall how to use Ancient Catastrophe, and has memories of a time Rita cast it, giving her an idea of how it works. (... This was the thing I was saving for the Wise Snake log before I dropped.)

Player: Void
Character: Ezekiel "Ez" Jordan/Ezreal
Reason for Echo: Aliens plot echo
Type and tier: Item, tier 2
What is returned: Tear of the Goddess. A somewhat situational item in League of Legends that is crucial to the "Blue" Ezreal build. It is a small gemstone that fits in the palm of his hand. It's abilities will translate to the following in-setting:

-Higher mana pool, allowing Ezreal to use his spells more often in battle
-Hightened mana regeneration, which feeds into Ezreal using his spells more often in battle.

Functionally, Ezreal is considered a "Spam Champion" who throws out low impact abilities frequently and as a result can have distinct mana issues, the Tear smooths that out to some degree and lets him use his abilities longer in combat.
hotshots: ([L] - 0020)

[personal profile] hotshots 2014-04-15 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ken
Character: Neil
Reason for Echo: Canon Recurrence - Mention of being Celestial Being's Gundam Meister.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: What that means, in at least a basic sense - being a Gundam pilot for an organization seeking peace through combat. Specific details beyond that are vague in his memory.

[personal profile] knights_king 2014-04-15 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Dan
Character: Arthur York / Saber
Reason for Echo: Arthur sees another dinosaur, eventually determines that it isn't immediately dangerous instead of opting to wet himself.
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: Instinct. Arthur's ability to read situations, especially in battle, would be greatly increased to the extent on his preincarnation.

Reason for Echo: white whale holy grail, Arthur sees armor and an apparently magical golden chalice in Lux's post, making a close association. His whole life was being a knight and then his end goal was pursuing the Holy Grail.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Item/Ability (Enhancement of the item)
What is returned: Arthur's armor, from Prototype. It doesn't have any special effects other than being exceptionally durable against physical attacks and supernatural attacks.

dead_black_eyes: "Runs in the Family" (They say that I'm crazy)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-04-15 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus "L" Lawliet
Reason for Echo: After this thread in which L accepts a case involving Cesar's brother's disappearance in Greece, he bought a Greek textbook to see if his other understood Greek. The hunch was based on his knowledge that the guy was multilingual; turns out it was solid.
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: The results of having studied some Greek in his other life, ie the ability to speak the language well enough to communicate. In Death Note, L's a foreigner who speaks perfect Japanese before accepting a case there, conducting his entire investigation in the language; as an anime genius who solves cases worldwide, he probably has a strong grasp on the world's major languages and decent, if not perfect, grasps on languages that are less widely spoken. Though Greek's only spoken by 12 million people, he probably would have focused on it since it, along with Latin would have aided him in learning other languages. Greek and Latin form bases for languages like English, Spanish and French, which he is heard speaking in the live-action version of Death Note.

AN: My degree's in linguistics so I cringe a little bit insisting on how ridiculously multi-lingual this character is. Know that I know that real people are far more limited in their capacity for learning languages and that anime geniuses don't real. This is as close as L gets to a superpower. :|

Player: Angel
Character: Eugen Lambert
Reason for Echo: Canon Recurrence; dangit, twin mentioned Celestial Being’s Gundam Meisters.
Type and tier: Memory | Tier 1

[personal profile] ghostlyprotector 2014-04-15 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Ryuuto
Character: Maria Angelus/Bianca di Angelo
Reason for Echo: Vermini encounter
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Bianca will remember the Oath she made to the goddess Artemis, as well as the warnings given to her about breaking it. She won't remember the names of the other people who witnessed the swearing, with exception to the goddess herself.

Reason for Echo: Alien plot Echo
Type and tier: Item and Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: The bow she receives from the goddess Artemis. This bow is basically perfectly made for Bianca. She'll also gain the ability to summon her bow from wherever it is, as that is part of Artemis' blessing to her Hunters.
sucrosity: (pleased with herself)

Player: Sandy
Character: Yoko Aznable
Reason for Echo: Alien trio!
Type and tier: Tier 2, item + item
What is returned: Her jacket harness - there's nothing supernatural about it, it has straps that go over her shoulders and around her hips and chest. She's wearing it in this picturea. Attached to the harness, however, is her Transpod, a device that allows her to transport items through hyperspace so she can use them. Without Enetron or a scanning device capable of connecting to it, it's just a clip-on thing.

hi have hat echoes also vampire sunlight troubles

[personal profile] pokebonnet 2014-04-15 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: bii
Character: Ivy "Granny" Curry
Reason for Echo: SO GRANNY SAW THE LIGHT OVER VEGAS ON THE NEWS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, I JUST FORGOT TO ASK FOR THE ECHO.
Type and tier: Object (Tier 1)
What is returned: One of the first Ivy's hats. Here, have a description: It was a mind-numbing purple, trimmed in bright green, with three high feathers emerging from what looked to be an entire fruit basket arranged about the crown. Fake grapes spilled down and over one side, dangling almost to Ivy's pert little chin.

Reason for Echo: Encounter with Mirror-Arthur
Type and tier: Physical/Ability (Tier 1)
What is returned: Sunlight aversion, stage one. Going outside in the sunlight won't kill Ivy, but it will make her distinctly uncomfortable, becoming more and more painful as time goes on.

Reason for Echo: Seeing the broadcast with Geoff & Co
Type and tier: Memory/Object (Tier 2, April)
What is returned: A pair of hairmuffs and the knowledge that she'd invented the clever things, which were very practical for dirigible travel.
