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.

sorry again about so many echoes

Player: bii
Character: Areonwen/Sayvil/Savil Ashkevron
Reason for Echo: Actually examining her fancy Companion's saddle and seeing the SYVL on it. This will need to be done with help from a handed friend.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Her name as a Companion: Sayvil.

Reason for Echo: Arthur Curry is going to be giving away his showgirl ex-girlfriend's possessions over the network. One of those possessions is a feather mask, which superficially resembles some of the Hawkbrother art that Savil Ashkevron had on her walls.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory.
What is returned: Knowledge of the Hawkbrothers in general and of k'Treva specifically, including her wingsister status with k'Treva. Any members of k'Treva itself would be names and vague impressions.

Reason for Echo: Arthur has to deliver the feather mask. He's also been in this game over a year, meaning that he can give people proximity echoes.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory (Arthur Proximity)
What is returned: The insipid yet earworm-y song "My Lady's Eyes", which she'll recognizes as her sister-in-law's favorite, despite not remembering said sister-in-law yet.

Reason for Echo: Being visited by her owner, Shou, now that he's back from Japan. Shou has been in the game since the start and can give echoes.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory (Shou Proximity)
What is returned: The memory of Tylendel Frelennye, Savil Ashkevron's pupil who she'd loved like a son and who'd committed suicide when his own Companion repudiated him.

Reason for Echo: Pink light in the Galapagos.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Ability/Knowlege. (Bonus Plot)
What is returned: Savil's Mage Gift (the ability to use magical energy for things) and a journeyman's knowledge of how exactly to use said Mage Gift. (Journeyman is the second-lowest mage rank, right after apprentice. In her canon, Savil achieved the highest rank, Adept, by the time she was middle-aged.)

Reason for Echo: Pink light over Tokyo.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Knowledge/Knowledge. (Bonus Plot)
What is returned: Heralds: who they are, what they do, why they exist + Companions: who they are, what they do, why they exist. The Herald knowledge would be from the Herald point of view and the Companion knowledge from the Companion. These are paired because Heralds and Companions work as a team and because Savil/Sayvil had been first one, then the other.

Arthur's and Shou's muns have given me permission for the proximity echoes.

Oh right! Sorry, I misread that. It's just as well, though. Nobody needs My Lady's Eyes inflicted on them.
