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.

Type and tier: Tier 1, memory

Player: Bii
Character: Ivy Curry
Reason for Echo: She and Elian are going to have a run-in with Werewolf!Lyall in this thread and Lyall's going to sink his fangs into her in the neck/shoulder region. (This resembles how Ivy Hisselpenny got fang-bit in the neck in the memory, albeit by a different supernatural creature, which led to her getting vampirized.)
Type and tier: Memory/Physical (February Tier 2)
What is returned: The memory of how Ivy got turned into a vampire in Book Five (from her arriving with the cavalry to save Lady Maccon and Ivy's daughter Primrose to Vampire Ivy rising from the dead to lisp around her new fangs) AND her vampire fangs. Which she'll proceed to lisp dreadfully around.

Hmm, ok! I think I'll go ahead and leave off on the second echo, then. For the third one, it does sound like two echoes, but since the triggers were so close together in the text, it felt a little awkward to put in two separate requests. Should I go ahead and split them for clarity, or would the two separated not be strong enough to trigger two individual echoes at all?

Player: Kira
Character: Blaine /Ymir

Player: Gazebo
Character: Anders
Reason for Echo: that meeting with the snake statues and things
Type and tier: Mental/Memory (tier 1)
What is returned: Anders remembers fighting a High Dragon!

Character: Anders
Reason for Echo: the Warden Daylen shows him an Arcane Shield, i.e. casts a magic spell that's sourced in the Dragon Age universe. Arcane Shield is a sustained-effect spell that can be maintained over time

What is returned: The memory of what an Arcane Shield is, though not how to cast one. The ability to use Panacea, also a sustained spell. Panacea increases the healing rate of the whole party by 100% and is a mode that is needed for Anders to do some other healing spells (not that he knows those yet).

Player: sabriel
Character: Fil Darrens / Fili

Reason for Echo: Hearing the the name Kili here.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: The younger kid he remembers being protective about in an earlier echo, he remembers that the kid's name IS Kili. But he still doesn't remember that Kili is actually his brother.

Reason for Echo: The name Misty Mountains and the mention of goblins here.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: The memory of being captured by Goblins in the Misty Mountains (ie. this part of the hobbit: auj)

Reason for Echo: Talking about a house dug into a hill called Bag End and a discussion of just what is a hobbit here.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: First memory of the Shire as Fili and Kili arrive for the Unexpected Party.

Reason for Echo: Hearing a description of people juggling plates and cups to hurry up the washing from Killian here.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Mental
What is returned: The memory of the shenanigans and song of "This is What Bilbo Baggins Hates" (ie. this scene here.)

Player: Eren
Character: Matthias/Minato
Reason for Echo: Recreating a persona summoning sans evoker, with a toy gun.
Type and tier: Item/Tier 1
What is returned: Minato's evoker. ("LOL Matt u got close here take this just in case.")

FOLLOWED BY

Player: Eren
Character: Matthias/Minato
Reason for Echo: Scene recreation--Matt's first time seeing, followed by attempting to fight with an actual evoker, a shadow.
Type and tier: Ability/Memory/Tier 2
What is returned: The ability to summon Orpheus, and the memory of this scene. I say tier 2 because shadows and fighting them and everything are kind of a huge deal. Summoning a persona for the first time is a huge deal. (It taxes the body and mind, so people are kind of useless for a week after. Since it's his first time summoning, I'd have Matt go comatose for a week following, if that's okay.)
