Echo Requests

[theearth]

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.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Reason for Echo:</b> If this is a plot Echo, please state which plot is acting as the trigger. If this is a canon recurrence/parallel Echo, please clearly explain how the reason for the Echo parallels canon. <b>Type and tier:</b> If this is a Tier 2 Echo that receives approval, then note that it is a Tier 2 in your Received Echoes list AND the month for which it counts. <b>What is returned:</b> Clearly explain how the Echo relates to its trigger. If this is an ability, please briefly describe it. Assume the mods are unfamiliar with your canon. If this is a Tier 2 encompassing two Echoes, remember that the Echoes must be related somehow. Please explain how they're related.

FOLLOWED BY

Player: Eren
Character: Matthias/Minato
Reason for Echo: Scene recreation--Matt's first time seeing, followed by attempting to fight with an actual evoker, a shadow.
Type and tier: Ability/Memory/Tier 2
What is returned: The ability to summon Orpheus, and the memory of this scene. I say tier 2 because shadows and fighting them and everything are kind of a huge deal. Summoning a persona for the first time is a huge deal. (It taxes the body and mind, so people are kind of useless for a week after. Since it's his first time summoning, I'd have Matt go comatose for a week following, if that's okay.)

First Echo approved! Please update your info post.

Before we approve the second request, we'd like to know what Orpheus will be capable of.

[phoenix_temple]

Orpheus has a very basic skill set, consisting of a light physical damage attack, Bash, that depletes health, a light fire-based attack, Agi, that depletes SP, or mental... energy I guess is the best way to put it? And a skill called Tarunda that lowers a single enemy's attack power. It also makes him weak to dark and electricity based magic.

All in all he's pretty weak.

I should also note when i said "it makes people useless for a week after" that a week was a vague estimation of about the time it might take for someone to recover and i realize that now i am having a time with words tonight....

[theearth]

Orpheus with his skill set, basic though it may be, would require its own Tier 2. So you can go with the memory + summoning Orpheus without his skill set or summoning Orpheus with his skill set, but without the memory originally requested.

Which option would you like?

[phoenix_temple]

Okay scratch that. If I got Orpheus and his skills back would it be possible, upon seeing and using Orpheus for the first time, that Matt would echo back the memory? Only because this is a kind of "difficult to set up, you only get one shot, but incredibly important for a lot of reasons" kind of memory.

[theearth]

Yep, the summoning of Orpheus can work as a trigger for the memory!

So! Orpheus with his skill set is approved as a Tier 2 and the memory of summoning a persona for the first time is approved as a Tier 1. Please update your info post and thanks for your patience.
