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.

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Vegas light
Type and tier: Skill, tier 1
What is returned: Knowledge of how to build and repair night vision glasses from the bird future. But not enough knowledge to get around the lack of a few necessary components.

Yuuya's really good with tech and has shown an ability to rapidly take apart an electrocution device and make it into a defibrillator.

To confirm! Are birds' night vision glasses both a thing which Yuuya was confirmed to have owned or used in canon, and if so, that he had ever built a pair himself? If not, then Echoing an ability to repair them on grounds of Yuuya's tech-savvy would fly best on its own!

[espigeonage]

Not confirmed directly. He's a secretive type! But, despite being of a species with poor night vision he describes himself as a creature of the night and is often seen out in dark enough conditions that a human has difficulty. He carries multiple pairs of glasses around despite having perfectly good eyes, and he's a spy in an organization where high levels of tech are so common they're taken for granted.

How about enough familiarity with such things to know how they're put together, so that when later he's given the more necessary parts he can fit them to frames more his size? Maybe with help.

Basically I just don't want him to have a pair of Yuuya's glasses. Those would reveal the size of Yuuya's head!

Apologies for the delay!

Echo for the knowledge to repair night vision glasses only from Julien's canon approved! By proxy, this includes familiarity with his canon's night vision glasses such that if Julien has Echoed or will Echo back Yuuya's tech-savvy-ness and obtains the materials necessary to build a pair of night vision glasses, then it would be possible for him to do so.

Please update your info post.
