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: Saretha Kaiser (Satsuki Kiryuin)
Reason for Echo: Plot - Project Jump
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Saretha remembers a scene from Satsuki's childhood, as a dour young girl in kindergarten interacting with her childhood friend, Nonon Jakuzure. In the context of the show, it is a flashback to the moment where Nonon dedicated herself to being Satsuki's right hand, by way of Satsuki being way too philosophical for a 5 year old on the subject of sand castles.
"A castle that blows away with the first gust of wind is worthless. Don't you agree, Nonon?"
"But all buildings fall down eventually!"
"Then you should build it in your mind! A skyscraper built within our mind will never fall down."
...look I could write an essay on what she's actually trying to say here, but it's late and I'm tired.
MOVING ON.
Reason for Echo: Plot - Cultists
Type and tier: Memory + Memory, Tier 2
What is returned: Two separate memories, both regarding another member of the Elite Four, Ira Gamagoori, and how he came to stand alongside Satsuki. The linking point of them being that they are the two memories we see of Satsuki and Gamagoori's past.
FIRST: Gamagoori, as Student Council President of his Junior High, is unable to save a boy being forced to jump off the roof of the school lest a particular punk whose father employs the other boy's basically ruin his family's life. The boy is saved by a timely trampoline (Kiryuin branded, of course) and Satsuki (a first year Junior High Student now) appears proclaiming that she's personally just bought that company out. The thug sics his goons on Satsuki, but she quickly dispatches them, as she is WIELDING A KATANA ON SCHOOL GROUNDS, leading to the following exchange.
SATSUKI: "As of this moment, I rule over every student in this Junior High School. Crooks like you who can't see beyond their own self-interest will no longer be tolerated."
GAMAGOORI: "But you're relying on your parents' influence too, are you not? How are you any different from these two?"
SATSUKI: "These petty thugs are merely leeching off their parents' power. I am different! I will exploit everything I can, be it the power of my parents or others! But I am the one who wields that power! I absorb it all and make it my own! It is a difference of resolve."
GAMAGOORI: "Resolve...?"
SATSUKI: "Gamagoori. Those who lack resolve are incapable of even wiping away their own tears."
SECOND: Flashing back again, Gamagoori is missing his Junior High graduation to challenge the 13 year old Satsuki, challenging her will to take over the school by force. She finds quickly that he is wearing steel armor across his entire body beneath his clothes, making it difficult for her to damage him. He claims that he will show her not everything can be taken by force, and that he will never kneel to her - indeed, even as he passes out, he manages to stay planted on his feet.
As Satsuki wakes him back up with a chop to the back of his head, she requests that he join her and become her shield.
"People are pigs in human clothing. I will fight against everything this world stands for and completely remake it."
Oh, and in the second scene Gamagoori is randomly 20 times her size for the entirety of it. This is going to be a thing.
YES, SHE IS PRETENTIOUS AS FUCK. WHAT OF IT.no subject
