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.

Reason for Echo: Seeing a silmaril
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: the other two silmarils

Reason for Echo: Seeing Hajime shapeshift
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 2 (April)
What is returned: Knowledge of the Ainur. They're not bound to a material shape and thus can take a variety of them, they are more powerful than "my people" but generally to be treated like normal people, there's some that are more powerful than others, they're typically connected a specific element.

Fluency in the language Valarin (this is the language of the Ainur that with very few exceptions, one of them being Fëanor, is only spoken by the Ainur themselves), though he cannot understand it.

Reason for Echo: Discussing Gabriel's "deageing" and later looking at pictures of him and realizing that yes, he really used to look a lot older.
Type and tier: Physical, Tier 1
What is returned: ...Deageing, in a way. He'll grow younger until he looks like an Elven 14 year old. This will happen slowly though, by about an appearant year every two weeks.


Reason for Echo: Trying to systematize Sindarin.
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: The little Sindarin that Fëanor managed to learn before he died. It's enough to make out what the other person is talking about if they're patient and speak slowly and simply, and to then give very simple answers that aren't necessarily correct. Also: Hideous Quenyan accent.
