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.

this is less an echo request and more an echo sequence proposal

/cracks knuckles

Player: Krystal
Character: who the hell do you think
Reason for Echo: Running into a wolpertinger in the woods with Liam.
Type and tier: Tier 2 for March, Ability/Creature
What is returned: Brego the wonder horse + ability to use Elvish to speak to animals

Reason for Echo: Seeing the lights in Tokyo over the news
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical
What is returned: The good bit of being a Numenorean -- his senses are keener than a normal human's but less keen than an Elf's. Extra good hearing/sight/smell.

Reason for Echo: Touching the hairrrrrrrr in London
Type and tier: Tier 1, Creature....?
What is returned: 100 GHOSTS that can't do more than be visible

Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence of his mother committing suicide out of lost hope.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Physical/Ability
What is returned: Weird Numenorian lack of aging + the ability to die on command. He won't remember Gilraen, but he'll have an instinctive sense that if he decides, for sure, that yes, now is the time to die, it'll happen.

Reason for Echo: Yelling at the ghosts to get them in line
Type and tier: Tier 2 for April, Ability/Creature
What is returned: Anduril, and with it, the ability to command the ghosts. If those would count as separate, that's fine. If not, the second part of this tier 2 should be how supernaturally scary they are, please! If not, I'll say Aaron saw the lights in London or Brazil over the news or something and have the ghosts get their fear that way. Let me know which it has to be!

Reason for Echo: Leading the ghosts into battle, when that eventually happens
Type and tier: Tier 1, Ability
What is returned: The ghosts can touch things and affect the physical world at will.


IF ANY OF THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, LET ME KNOW. None of these will come into effect until the event is RPed that triggers it, and if plans change, I'll make a note of it here. Holy shit this is a lot of Echoes, but this gets out of the way all of the big ones I want for endgame.

[theearth]

Echoes approved! THe ghosts getting their fear will have to happen through a separate pink light, either the London or the Brazil one. Please update your info post.

[elfstoned]

Excellent. Ghost fear will be for Brazil. And actually, I'm going to swap two around --

Player: Krystal
Character: Aaron
Reason for Echo: Gillian's death
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Memories of Gilraen's funeral, including Aragorn thinking back to what she told him about giving hope to men/keeping none for herself and the knowledge that she chose to end her own life out of despair for a darkening world.

Reason for Echo: London lights
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability.
What is returned: The actual ability to die on command + extended lifespan.

Still cool?

[theearth]

Yep, those work!

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

[elfstoned]

So I just noticed on my info post that I requested extended lifespan twice. Check my info post: the Tokyo lights and London lights are for the same effect. Can I swap one of them out? Have that plot echo grant Aragorn's ability to freestyle make up songs about dead comrades on the spot?

[theearth]

Plz rap about people's deaths.

Echo approved! Please update your info post.
