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.

First two echoes approved! Please update your info post!

For the last echo, Estelle can receive healing abilities but, since she does so through the use of healing artes, do you mean she received one of those back or something else? Her receiving the entirety of her healing abilities back in one go would be far too much for one echo, as a note.

[seethelanterns]

Oh, sorry! I should have been more specific with that. And then had a trip away for Easter. I will say the First Aid ability? Which, in game that recovers 30% of an allies HP.

[theearth]

Sounds good! One final question before stamping the approval, how would you translate 30% of allies' HP into healing in STE? Or simply put, to what extent would the spell be effective?

[astion]

Ah, right. I'd say perhaps more minor injuries with First Aid. It's the first basic healing spell in the Tales of series and targeted at one particular person. So in terms of translating that to StE perhaps say, she can heal smaller wounds/injuries and more minor illnesses such as colds or allergy symptoms? Things that could be a pain, but nothing serious enough to do to a doctor or the hospital for, if that makes sense. I figure that would be the extent of it initially at least, since really, 30% healing is not a lot.

[theearth]

Healing colds and allergies sounds a bit odd for a healing spelling dealing primarily with injuries in game. Maybe she could cause them to temporarily feel a reprieve from the symptoms/pain instead? Not a full heal, but someone with say a spilling headache from allergies would be headache free for a little while?

[astion]

Hm. Actually, now that you mention it, yeah. That would work! I mean, there are other artes specifically for status effects so that sounds like it would work a lot better. I was just trying to think of how to explain it and translate it to StE's setting in comparison. But temporarily healing them from that pain would work, yes!

[theearth]

Then echo approved! Please update your info post!
