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: Pyjak
Character: Remilia Scarlet (Emilia Stacojiu)
Reason for Echo: Encountering a ghost wolpertinger.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical.
What is returned: Emilia will now be able to, assuming it's all worked out OOCly, turn another Numbered (assuming they're mostly human) into a vampire.

Reason for Echo: Creating a vampire.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical.
What is returned: The vampire gets the ability to regenerate like Emi can.

First echo approved, with the caveat of that their preincarnation species must be human. Please update your info post!

For the second echo - where did this turning someone into a vampire happen/where is that vampire now? Also technically Emi would echo the ability to "make vampires that can regenerate" so her poor first vampire wouldn't get this benefit, but only all that she makes after him/her. Just to be on the same page here.

[scarlet_devil]

It doesn't yet, and not to any Numbered. An NPC will get turned down the line.

Also, any vampires she make will have a sort of link to her, or it wouldn't take in the first place. She should be able to 'update' an existing vampire made by her with new abilities. Maybe by feeding them some of her blood?

[theearth]

Does the "updating of a vampire" happen anywhere in her canon?

[scarlet_devil]

Kind of. The 'bond' thing is headcanon, like a lot of stuff about first age elves.

[theearth]

Do you mean to say that this "updating of a vampire" is headcanon without a basis in canon?

[scarlet_devil]

Something like that. Most of her abilities have a canon basis, though. For the first echo, wouldn't it only work if the person she's trying to turn was still mostly human, and of course had blood?

[theearth]

The way you say that - considering that her vampire turning only works on humans, updating would logically be ruled out.

[scarlet_devil]

I meant she can't turn someone that's turned into a bird. Vampires are human enough.

[theearth]

They are not a distinct species, according to her canon?

[scarlet_devil]

Ah, nope.

Would turned vampires instead be able to echo back powers?

[theearth]

No!

[scarlet_devil]

Okay then.
