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.

Er, no, whoops. My reasoning was that the event would echo the outfit, and the outfit would then echo the memory. If that's not how it works, I'm okay with nixing the memory!

All right! Is it ok if he echoes back this boss fight against Hercules instead? Getting punched by a demigod == getting punched by a distraught magical girl, right?

aaand if that isn't ok is getting punched by yao cool

if neither of these are ok i could probably come up with shit forever but i think it would be a tiny bit rude to keep insisting uou

Player: Mini
Character: Alexander Varista
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence: hypnotizing Ravi during a very emotional moment is similar to how he hypnotized Ravi when he was very emotional about his daughter leaving Tyrol.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1.
What is returned: The memory of hypnotizing Ravi, feeding off of him uninvited, and the immediate aftermath.

Reason for Echo: Plot: fighting the alien.
Type and tier: Physical, tier 1.
What is returned: The remaining 25% of his regenerative healing.

LET'S GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY.

Player: Ken
Character: Neil Dylandy
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2, giant freaking robot
What is returned: The GN-002 Gundam Dynames.

No active weapons, as all of them are separate pieces. GN Drive is active, but GN Particle dispersion cannot yet allow it to achieve flight. The Gundam can move and fight, but is restricted by gravity for now. It also lacks the GN Full Shield as that was an additional, later upgrade.

Reason for Echo: Entering Gundam for the first time during Wise Snake event.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory/Ability
What is returned: Knowledge of how to pilot the Dynames.

Player: Joc
Character: Xander Jarle / Sandrath
Reason for Echo: Reading Lazarus' post about religious interference.
Type and tier: 1, memory
What is returned: San revealing that he's an angel (except he's not) to a religious person before messing with them about preconceptions and depictions of angels & demons.

Reason for Echo: Reading comments between Lazarus and Rakka, mainly the mention of Lucifer & a fallen angel.
Type and tier: 1, memory
What is returned: Sandrath's meeting with Lucifer, swearing his allegiance to him before becoming a fallen arch-angel and holding up his end of the deal by dealing with another angel who followed him.

Player: Eric
Character: Marisa Kirisame
Reason for Echo: WISE SNAAAAAKE
Type and tier: Tier 2 memory/skill
What is returned: She will echo back her duels with a wolf tengu and a crow tengu, and as per the research system we came up with earlier, she will have decoded how to do the trick of attaching the mini hakkero to her broom to use it as a rocket booster and fly around far too fast. She just wasn't convinced it would WORK until she remembered past Marisa doing it.

Player: Still me
Character: Sam Middleton
Reason for Echo: WIIIIIIIIIISE SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE
Type and tier: tier 2 abilities
What is returned: Sam will regain Satan's domination power, allowing him to temporarily mentally dominate people, as well as Satan's telekinesis. These both draw on the same power source as all his other powers, and thus are not terribly reliable without a source of energy.

i held off on a lot of these for a while, i'm sorry for the tl;dr

Player: Lisa
Character: Danny Fenton
Reason for Echo: farmhouse alien encounter!
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: A general boost to intangibility, because when I said I gave him the ULTIMATE INTANGIBILITY, I had actually underestimated his skill--with this, his limit will be boosted from a large car/11-ish people to a structure the size of a small house/however many people you could fit into a small house without it being claustrophobic.

The intangibility boost also improves his skill with possession--he will have full control over people's bodies when he's in there (no more random actions/manners slipping through), and he will actually be able to leave bodies at will. This is still bound by his energy levels, though (and of course, I will always ask permission from any related parties to do anything while possessing characters).

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: increased durability--enough to be slammed through several brick walls and shake it off with little effect within seconds.

Also, invisibility. Exactly what it says on the tin. It basically operates under the exact same rules and limitations as intangibility.

Reason for Echo: being mind controlled into wanting to smooch people. (this is backdated to 2/14.)
Type and tier: tier 1, memory
What is returned: the memory of Ember doing the same thing to him with her music. He remembers what caused it and he remembers his actions while under the effect of the spell, but nothing else about the episode.



Character: Jovan Burzek
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: The ability to see/interact with ghosts. I would like to give him this power in its entirety, which would allow him to freely see/hear dead people and speak with them (although it's unclear whether he can actually have any physical contact with them--I'm going to go with no on that.)

However, I've already talked this echo over with Blue a while ago, and was given a full rundown on the limitations on how this power would work in the StE setting and the 'native setting' ghosts for the time being. I also understand, though, if this is something that needs to be discussed more or rehashed because I asked about this back in mid-January, but I'd really like to be able to give him this power back!



Character: Chuck Reyes
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: tier 2, ability
What is returned: An increase in nanites in his body and along with them some mental schematics of a particular piece of robotics, which will allow him to build these things out of his arms. (They can also spin at fast enough speeds to drill through rock.)

The increase in nanites will not affect at this point his technopathy--they're literally only getting increased to give him enough 'nanite bulk' to form the fists.

Player: Bii
Character: Areonwen
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake proximity
Type and tier: Ability/Knowledge (Finale Tier Two)
What is returned: Sayvil's MageSight + basic knowledge of your standard Herald's Gifts. (Mage Gift, MindSpeech, Empathy, FarSight, ForeSight, FireStarting, Fetching.) Not necessarily HOW they work, just what they do.

Character: Ivy "Granny" Curry
Reason for Echo: Super Granny guarding the healers during farmhouse assault.
Type and tier: Ability (Tier One)
What is returned: Improved Vampire Healing. Healing time for non-wood injuries is cut in half from previous Vampire Healing levels.

Character: "Granny" Ivy Curry
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake proximity
Type and tier: Physical x2 (Finale Tier Two)
What is returned: The complete script to Death Rains of Swansea AND costumes for that very play, to be found in Arthur's apartment when he and Granny go crawling back.

Player: kou
Character: banagher links

Reason for Echo: damnit winter. (she invoked UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT MISCONCEPTIONS)
Type and tier: memory, tier 1.
What is returned: the newtype theory in whole. basically: "The theory proposes that as humanity expands into space, all latent abilities will blossom in order to adapt to the great void and mankind will then be able to understand each other without misconceptions."

Reason for Echo: wise snake! (plot)
Type and tier: item, tier 2.
What is returned: the RX-0 unicorn gundam. as discussed here, it will be coming with its vulcan guns and beam tonfas, though if that needs to be subject to change i'm a-ok. the vulcans can indeed run out of ammo, and the tonfas are only good so long as the unicorn has fuel. it will not come with any other armaments (shield+i-field generator, beam magnum, beam gatling, or hyper bazooka) or its special programming. the la+ program, NT-D, and weapons driver system will all either be sealed or offline.

Reason for Echo: wise snake! (canon recurrence)
Type and tier: ability, tier 1.
What is returned: by getting into the cockpit for the first time, banagher will regain his piloting ability.

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2014-02-22 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Angel
Character: Eugen Lambert (Tieria Erde)
Reason for Echo: Seeing a very important name.
Type and tier: Memory | Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of their first conversation in Krung Thep when they introduced each other. He will remember Lockon introducing himself as Lockon Stratos and he replied with his own name, Tieria Erde.

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: L using a "Moves left until I win the game" timer on their game of chess
Type and tier: 1 / Memory
What is returned: Memory of Yami Bakura pulling a similar stunt vs Yami Yuugi using the Ouija board, which displayed a new letter every 5 turns until the word "Death" was spelled out. [He failed at it, however, as Yami Yuugi defeated him the last turn with a God Card.]

[personal profile] drama8om8 2014-02-22 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Louise
Character: Octavia
Reason for Echo: Denying that she has any kind of ~*~*rivalry*~*~ going on with Eri.
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory
What is returned: Vriska's conversation with Eridan in [S] Past Karkat: Wake up, in which they talk about the end of their kismesissitude (Text available here, ctrl+f "VRISKA: Hey.")
Edited 2014-02-22 16:42 (UTC)
italktofish: (JETPACK)

[personal profile] italktofish 2014-02-22 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: He'll be helping out with the alien in the farmhouse.
Type and tier: Item and memory, Tier 2
What is returned: Aquaman's trident, which is both a weapon and a symbol of Atlantean royalty. He'll also regain some of Aquaman's Atlantean verbal quirks, which may lead to him yelling things like "FOR ATLANTIS!" in the middle of a fight or flirting with women by calling them things like "my little coral flower." Basically, he'll be getting cheesy Silver Age nautical vocal tics.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Item, Tier 1
What is returned: Aquaman's jetpack. He only used it once in the series, but...Arthur. With a jetpack. While a giant snake is attacking.

siesinddasessen: (that's my christa)

[personal profile] siesinddasessen 2014-02-22 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Kira

Character: Thorir / Thorin
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2
What is returned: Dwarven stamina and durability

Reason for Echo: His home settlement getting attacked by a big reptile/serpent type being, complete with people dying and I assume also fires and such due to the structural damages.
Type and tier: Tier 1
What is returned: The complete memory of Smaug's attack on the Lonely mountain up until it was clear that the elves had left the dwarves to their fate.



Character: Sweden / Siiri
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: Tier 2
What is returned: She can now travel large distances in a short time, as long as there is no large body of water (say, an ocean) between point of departure and end point. She also has the knowledge of how to make the types of longboats that were built in the Mälar/Gotland area now (to cover distances that she cannot walk).

Reason for Echo: Mimi riding on her shoulder.
Type and tier: Tier 1
What is returned: The nation ability/curse that, when beings stay close to them for a prolonged amount of time, some of their nationhood (mostly the immortality) will rub off on them. (Since this drives humans insane, nations make sure to not impose it on them, but animals don't have that issue and the animal that Sweden keeps close tends to ride on his and Finland's shoulders).

Reason for Echo: Almost dying, but not being able to, and then being healed by Akito.
Type and tier: Tier 2 March
What is returned: Full blown nation immortality, and since that is necessarily connected with it: Physical connection to her people (and land): Recovery up to a certain point will be instant, and past that the healing rate will entirely depend on how good Sweden's economy is at that time. Her aging process is also entirely dependent on her nation's growth, which for the moment will only mean that she won't get any older physically as Sweden is very static in the independence/size department right now. In addition, the physical connection means that she's more physically hard and able to stay awake and maintain physical activity much longer than a human ought to, and that she doesn't actually need food, drink or sleep to survive (she'll still crave it, though). It also means that her health is dependent on her economy now, much like the healing rate.

I know this is a big complex, but it all boils down to "her health is now dependent on her economy and the Swedish people's well-being", plus she already had a tier two for the immortality. So I think it should pass? If not, I can probably split it up some way into two triggers, the one of not being able to die and one of Akito healing her.



Character: Blaine / Ymir
Reason for Echo: Wise snake
Type and tier: Tier 2
What is returned: The ability to partly emerge from the neck of her titan. Her titan strength.

If those are not connected enough, the rest of her titan looks along with the ability to emerge from it's neck.

Reason for Echo:Talking about the end of the world with Fuuma and discussing what actions one should take about that. Her opinion here is basically the same one that she seems to have in canon until Christa overrides it.
Type and tier: Tier 1
What is returned: The knowledge that the world inside the walls was going to end, and that the only way to survive was located outside of them.

Player: Awe
Character: Miranda Atmiller
Reason for Echo: Farmhouse Alien
Type and tier: Ability, tier 1
What is returned: Increased ability to hold Song Magic (in At2 game mechanics terms, an increase in MP from ~30 to ~300 (it makes out at around 8200.))

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake encounter
Type and tier: Object+Mental Feature, tier 2
What is returned: A Dive Machine (appears in its own room in Miranda's basement). Dive Machines, as they appear in the games, require an operator. However, a plugin for them exists in the third game that's a Cosmosphere analyzer, so it's not unreasonable to assume that in the several hundred years Mir lives past the canon that a Dive Machine that doesn't need an operator was developed. (Proper Dive Machine operation is a very particular skillset generally only held by NPCs (although Luca Trulyworth and Mir herself had them it), which is partially why I conjecture the existence of an operator-less machine for ease of use here.)

In addition, she will be regaining Mir's Mind Guardian, Ayatane. The Mind Guardian is a feature of any Reyvateil's subconscious, and have the following responsibilities:
- Explaining how Diving and such works to new Divers
- Preventing unauthorized entry into the Reyvateil's mind/Soulspace/Cosmosphere.

Diving is a method of creating new Song Magic, and using it can produce Songs for Miranda that Mir wouldn't or couldn't have learned in canon. Miranda can learn only one new Song per month by being Dived into, no matter who the Diver is.

Player: Merav
Character: Emil Fiedler (Hamel)
Reason for Echo: Chatting about fate
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1
What is returned: Aversion to his own fate. It’s a big deal in canon - Hamel’s “fate” is to give in to his Mazoku side and become the Demon’s King successor, and he spends the entire series fighting against it. Emil won’t remember any details, but he won’t be able to help but feel that whatever fate has in store, it’s bad and he doesn’t want it.

Player: Kya
Character: Soren/Sollux
Reason for Echo: farmhouse!
Type and tier: tier 2/ item & power
What is returned: 1. a jar of mind honey. if possible i would like this to go with a sense of uneasiness about it or just the knowledge that he is NOT supposed to eat the mind honey, but if that's too much let me know!
2. i would like to do another boost to his telekinetic power (probably the last i'm doing for a while, possibly ever) - at the moment his limit is 500 lbs and i would like to increase that to large enough to lift a car - cars on average seem to be around 4000 lbs so that is where i would like to put the new limit if that is okay. realistically that probably won't change a lot, especially without him knowing he can do it, but lifting cars is super awesome okay.

Player: Lexil
Character: Lazarus Lawliet
Reason for Echo:
Mission control work, in which L is absolutely surrounded by computer screens and monitors and it seems weirdly familiar to him because those were his exact working conditions in canon.
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: A gothic letter "L", displayed on a laptop held by the man he remembered before. That is his name, he's sure of it now.

Reason for Echo: Working mission control for the farmhouse (I think we get a free echo for that?)
Type and tier: Type 1, memory
What is returned: Solving another missing child case, involving a kidnapped heiress in her early teens.

Player: Jisu
Character: Kari Acosta (Caren)
Reason for Echo: Farmhouse
Type and tier: I - Ability
What is returned: Her shielding. A white dome of light will appear around her and deflect attacks as she's singing. This can be broken by stronger attacks or just by stopping her singing some way or another.

Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: II - Memory
What is returned: Memory of Noel, her sister/first-arc-motivation and of Gackt, the guy who defeated and kidnapped her and promptly went after Caren too for two years

Character: Tessa Hart (Kokoro Belmont)
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake
Type and tier: II - Ability
What is returned: Platonic Power. The problem with this is that nobody actually knows what it is, but it allows her to fly a Ride Viper, transform into her pilot uniform, and activate the Ride Viper's shielding from attacks and extreme temperatures. It also allows her to breathe in space, as well as being the apparent source of her Lightning Sword ability (though as that functions as both her Platonic Break and her Grand Cross, she'll echo it back separately). Because Platonic Power does all this at once, I figure it takes up a whole Tier II.

Reason for Echo: Walter talking about being ripped straight from the hentais.
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory
What is returned: A memory of the Dragonborn opening one of Hermaeus Mora's black books and getting grabbed by dark tentacles much like Walter describes.
