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.

Exactly as they sound, actually! The Abyss in Pandora Hearts is another realm or dimension. Before it was contorted, it was filled with a lot of floating golden lights. These lights later go on to pick and choose Baskervilles and guide them to Glen Baskerville. The Abyss wiki page does have a short notation on these.

In short, they're a bunch of lights no one else but Leo can see unless you're looking at Leo's eyes, then they reflect there. So other people can only see those lights looking at the reflections of them in Leo's eyes. I hope that makes any sense at all. Although they're a really big part of his story, the explanation surrounding why they're visible in only his eyes is vague. (ie: They don't show up in any other Glen's eyes, etc. Maybe it's because Leo was born like that? Who knows!)

Aye aye captain! (I think Pandora Hearts characters in general are just throwing confetti over the fact there won't be an Abyss here. Thank god!)
