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.

scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Neutral)

Player: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet/Emilia Stacojiu
Reason for Echo: Seeing and speaking to Rei Ikari, and noticing her red eyes.
Type and tier: Physical
What is returned: A nice pair of blood red eyes.
dead_black_eyes: "Secret Agent Man" (Singing the sound that you found for me)

[personal profile] dead_black_eyes 2014-06-07 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I feel that "The Raging Bomber" and "Mad Bombings" are similar enough in name and theme to trigger an echo ("raging" and "mad" are synonyms, both applied to a serial bombing spree). Additionally, for character development reasons I've had him focus on cases that are primarily kidnappings rather than the darker stuff like serial killers (that comes later), but since he's deeper into detective work now and interested by Naomi's work with the crime lab, it's the first time he's heard about a serial bomber in the context of something he could potentially work on at some point (and did, according to his preincarnation).
kyoumibukai: (keyword: u suck)

[personal profile] kyoumibukai 2014-06-07 09:07 am (UTC)(link)

healspec: (Default)

[personal profile] healspec 2014-06-07 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: Meeting Geoff plot echo
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 2
What is returned:
Pt 1: The fundamental understanding that human corpses should dissolve into ash within 24 hours of death, instead of decomposing. This is just an unquestioned fact of life in his preincarnation's world, so anything else will seem strange and unsettling.

Pt 2: The inclination to use "ash" as a colloquial replacement for a lot of death verbs. ie "Ash him," "He got ashed," etc.
chalicejoker: (Chalice - Poker)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2014-06-07 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Airdra
Character: Hajime Aikawa
Reason for Echo: Plot Echo, talking to Geoff.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1.
What is returned: Knowledge of how Chalice's bow works and how he would pull off his special attacks as Chalice. Too bad he doesn't actually have the bow yet and won't be able to use this knowledge.

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo, going aboard Geoff's spaceship.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Brief memory of Isaka's lab. They're together watching Blade fight another Undead, but the fight and the power going on there sets Hajime off. Hajime can't help but transform to Chalice and join in. The memory ends just before he leaves; he won't remember why he's leaving (that Isaka has planted a bomb elsewhere).
airfoils: (Everyone is happy here)

[personal profile] airfoils 2014-06-08 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Will
Character: Alexander Bogu/Allelujah Haptism
Reason for Echo: Plot echo, encounter with an animal that's been infested with vermini
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental, going to Hallelujah.
What is returned: His hand to hand combat training. No weapons training and none of his pilot skills would be returned with it, though.


Reason for Echo: Plot echo, random Vegas vermini encounter.
Type and tier: Tier 2, physical
What is returned: The nanomachines that he has in his blood. They basically keep him in peak human physical condition and keep his muscles from atrophying while in zero gravity for an extended time. They won't allow him to do anything superhuman, however.

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Plot echo: Run in with the car!
Type and tier: Physical | Tier 1
What is returned: Partial return of his enhanced healing! In canon, Nick's able to heal from things such as bruised ribs and a dislocated shoulder in under a week, instead of the usual 12-16 weeks of recovery for the latter. This echo will return about a third of his enhanced healing, meaning he will recover from injuries in about half the time that it would usually take.


Character: Benjamin Ratchet
Reason for Echo: Plot echo: Run in with the car
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 2
What is returned: The return of his car form! He'll now be able to transform into a neon yellow rescue hummer.


Character: Benjamin Ratchet
Reason for Echo: Plot echo: talking to Geoff
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: Partial return of his previous self's medical knowledge on Autobots - about as much as a medical student would know.

Player: Lampdevil
Character: Jackson Isaka
Reason for Echo: Plot echo for speaking with Geoff.
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: Jack will get his ability to take a human guise. He simply needs to concentrate properly to allow it to happen.

Reason for Echo: Plot echo for boarding Geoff's spaceship.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of he and Hajime in a laboratory. Hajime is about to leave but he calls him over to see something "interesting" on a viewscreen. It is of what seems to be an important place to Hajime, with an agent revealing that a bomb is planted there. Hajime is understandably furious, and Isaka threatens to set off the bomb if Hajime goes through with leaving.

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - opening up to Anthony out of love and not wanting to lose him, part of which included mentioning how his parents' deaths affected him for the first time
Type and tier: Mental | Tier 1
What is returned: The canon memory of opening up to someone for the exact same reasons, including telling them about his reaction to his parents' deaths - but not who that person was.
buildyourworld: (At the shopping district)

[personal profile] buildyourworld 2014-06-09 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Angel
Character: Eugen Lambert
Reason for Echo: Plot echo; run-in with the car.
Type and tier: Ability | Tier 1
What is returned: Increase of GN Particle output on the Virtue. This will allow the Virtue to gain the ability to float and glide off ground. It won't be able to fly by a long note. (Note: Virtue doesn't have a thrusters system used in mobile suits of other Gundam series. The ability to move, float and fly is dependent on the GN Drive, fueled by the GN Particles.)

Player: Angel
Character: Eugen Lambert
Reason for Echo: Plot echo; speaking with Geoff
Type and tier: Memory & Item | Tier 2 (May)
What is returned: His portable workstation unit used to run maintenance on the Gundam and memory of how to operate it.

[personal profile] pianistofraielin 2014-06-09 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: The Guindo
Character: Russel/Raiel
Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: getting caught in the blackouts
Type and tier: Tier 1 | Skill
What is returned:
The ability to play Beethoven's 5th piano concerto, "Emperor", which he used in the manga to brainwash a crowd into an unruly mob.

He used a song about truth and love and justice to enrage people over the losses they'd suffered at the hands of the Mazoku and brainwashed them to use that outrage against Hamel as a representation of the Mazoku as a whole. Which is....sort of the same thing he'll be doing with it here, but not with this Echo.

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: seeing the aurora in Vegas
Type and tier: Tier 2 | Mental
What is returned:
Pt 1: Raiel's anger at Hamel for killing his parents evolved over time into a delusion that Hamel was responsible for all the atrocities the Mazoku had committed, and that killing him would be the ultimate act of justice and would somehow fix the situation w/the Mazoku. blah blah Hamel is dangerous and must be stopped at all costs OR WHO KNOWS HOW MANY LIVES WILL BE LOST!!

That delusional hatred is what Russel will be regaining.

Pt 2: Along with the knowledge that Hamel is a dangerous foe and he'll never get anywhere with trying to kill him if Hamel's able to use his violin.

Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: seeing the cultist symbol
Type and tier: Tier 1 | Mental
What is returned:
It's with THIS Echo! The knowledge of how to utilize Emperor for the greater purpose of mob justice.
healspec: (Default)

[personal profile] healspec 2014-06-09 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: Plot: getting caught in the blackout
Type and tier: Tier 1 | Skill
What is returned: The ability to combine holy magic with a physical attack. This is your shield bash, your sword smite, etc. Basically he can throw a holy effect on top of any melee attack he's using to make it hit harder, hurt more, and damage incorporeal opponents.

Reason for Echo: Parallel: the emotional effects caused by the blackout ghosts
Type and tier: Tier 1 | Memory
What is returned: There's these things in his setting called Astral beasts, which occur when a place absorbs so much ambient emotion that it coalesces into a conscious force. They're imperceptible to most people, but being in the presence of one pushes those emotions onto you, causing you to experience unexplained sadness, anger, etc as long as you remain in its presence. This is common knowledge but Astral beasts are very rare, so most people never actually encounter one and it ends up just being a bogeyman sort of thing.

Ravi has been in the presence of one before, though. When he was digging through the ruins of Arithea for the things he wanted to take with him. He'll remember that event and what it was like.

Reason for Echo: Plot: crossing the boundary of Thundercorp's Dead District compound
Type and tier: Tier 1 | Skill
What is returned:
The ability to create a barrier that absorbs concussive force. The bigger the shield or the stronger the blow against it, the more energy it takes to maintain. Could probably stop a few bullets but he'd be tapped out after that. (Because everything is physics. The amount of physical force required to stop something is directly proportional to the amount of energy spent to stop it. I am the nerd it is me.)
