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.

Character: Doyle/Umbrael
Reason for Echo: He's currently throwing down with a werewolf - needless to say this is something he did in his past life albiet a bit more skillfully
Type and tier: Tier 2, Physical/Item
What is returned:
Physically, Doyle's going to look a little more beastly - his teeth are sharper, his pupils are slitted, his nails grow in tough, sharp, and bright red, his ears are pointier (and can wiggle around), and his skin looks a little... off. Maybe paler, maybe grey, but not like a corpse or a basement-dweller. On the bright side, he'll have a stronger sense of smell and hearing, and will be able to see in the dark a little better! However, he won't read as entirely 'human' anymore to people who can sense that.
The item he gets back will be a silver, narrow, triangular earring, with a dark purple stone in it. Even though he was a powerful godlike being, he was sometimes
lazyin need of devoting more of his focus on his shadow powers instead of keeping a different shape. This earring could shift him from his huge natural form, to the... mostly human form I described above. Some additional glamour-whatever-magic helps sell it a little better, but that was him, not the earring.I've said all that, but the earring for now does nothing, it just looks neat.
So uh, to be clearer - the whole shapeshifting thing is relevant, because where Umbrael's from, weres were essentially humans with magic who used it to turn into animals (to fight things like Umbrael's kind, to be honest), and Umbrael sort of copied their magic so his kind could turn into humans, to better disguise themselves and hide now that humans were getting the upper hand.
Reason for Echo: Wise Snake B.S.
Type and tier: Tier 2 Physical
What is returned:
he turns into this:
and a bust for good measure
Though he'll start out a few hands shorter than that first image, he'll grow into it! Also he's not getting any inherent knowledge of how to move around as a dionsaur thing, that's going to take some adjusting. Not much else to say, really, other than that it's going to suck to be a big reptile in early march!
ok i think that's everything.
