Echo requests

[ourearth]

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.

Please keep in mind that any echo must be triggered by experiencing something for the first time (unless it is a plot echo) and that recurrence echoes may not be gained off-screen: At least the initial trigger must take place in a thread or toplevel. In addition, we always want to hear the answer to three questions: 1. What was echoed? (under "What is returned?"), 2. What triggered the echo? (under "Reason for Echo"), and in case of recurrence echoes 3. Why did it trigger the echo (parallel)? (under "What is returned?").

Is this a memory Echo? If YES, it is approved by default. If NO, please wait for mod approval before playing it out.
Type of Echo: Physical change, power, ability, mental, memory, item or creature.
Link to the ET/DET usage form: ET/DET usage form. (Put "New!" if this is your character's first month in the game.)
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, and strongly resemble a specific event from canon. Picking up a can of baked beans from the store will not cause an Echo if it isn't any different than the times the character has done it before.
What is returned: What the Echo brought back. If the Echo is not a plot echo, please demonstrate clearly why trigger and echo content work as a canon reoccurence.

Is this a memory Echo? yes
Type of Echo: memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? no
Reason for Echo: Seeing Benjiro getting dragged around by a llama while trying to wrestle it into submission to be able to return it to its enclosure.
What is returned: The memory of her teammate Hiro wrestling a fellow cybersammy who was a centaur - though the situation was quite different as the fight in the memory was a life or death struggle and weapons were involved, there's the similarity of someone she knows and likes wrestling a horse-like creature.

Is this a memory Echo? Half
Type of Echo: Ability + Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes (Second token from here)
Reason for Echo: That crazy cake Plot Echo
What is returned:
Ability> Spark of an inventor. Benjiro is already mechanically inclined, but this will be a jumpstart to him building his own creations. For now, he will NOT recall future technology and will be limited to the levels achieved by the original modern day Donatello (early 2000s) with gradual improvement over time to more complex works.
Memory> A memory from Donatello of building the Tunnler (a digging machine that was used for transport underground and could withstand magma)

Also as a note, please make a note on your echo listing when you use double echo tokens, even if it's just a (DET) tacked onto the end of it.

Is this a memory Echo? No
Type of Echo: Item
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, here
Reason for Echo: Tasting the cake
What is returned: A lightsaber! Specifically the green one Luke built and used most. Would a double echo be enough for a fully functioning lightsaber, or one where the blade doesn't have the classic cutting ability?

Is this a memory Echo? Yes
Type of Echo: Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: Holding a lightsaber for the first time
What is returned: The memory of Ben Kenobi handing him Anakin's lightsaber and telling him that this is the weapon of a Jedi.

[ourearth]

Rule of funny dictates that he will have the prettiest and most impressive nightlight out there. No cutting ability yet. Let him get used to it being harmless and then accidentally burn a hole in the ground I mean.

And the memory is approved as-is!

Type of Echo: Power

Reason for Echo: Plot echo (Northern Light)
What is returned: The base ability to do magic. She can't actually do magic yet because she has no knowledge of any spells, but the base ability to learn them.

Is this a memory Echo? No.
Type of Echo: Mental
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: Plot echo (Eating the cake)
What is returned: The spell that lets her create fields of darkness.

Is this a memory Echo? No.
Type of Echo: Mental
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes
Reason for Echo: Due to being high on cake, she's for the first time in her life perfectly convinced that she can fly, because of course she can. Right? And so she jumps out of a second storey window to get to another place, like she would have many times in her previous life.
What is returned: The conviction that she can fly and the jumping off a high place to get to another place resemble closely how she experienced levitating in her last life, so she gets back the knowledge of how to cast a levitation spell and the reflex to apply a spell whenever she is in a situation that she can't get out of without the help of her magic.

Is this a memory Echo? YES and NO (it's a double echo token memory? I don't know)
Type of Echo: Memory + Ability
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, from July AC
Reason for Echo: Plot trigger
What is returned: The memory of flying and tracking something by scent, and the associated return of his Raksuran self's powerfully sensitive sense of smell. He doesn't yet have the kind of control to filter scents out like his previous life could, which will be fun for him :)

[ourearth]

What is the plot trigger? Did he eat cake?

(And the memory echo question is essentially the 'can you use this echo before it got approved' question so technically the answer is yes and no because you can use one half before it got approved but not the other.)

Type of Echo: Ability

Reason for Echo: While Benjiro has been bullied before, it was limited to non-physical tactics or playground pushes. This time, Benjiro is going to get beaten up at school by multiple people. This resonates with the times Donatello has been ganged up on in fights with Purple Dragons and the Foot (among many enemies). Dark Donatello has been similarly ganged up on by the turtles (if briefly) and attacked by the other clones. I intend for this to trigger before the fight is concluded.
What is returned: Hand to hand combat skills of ninjutsu

Type of Echo: Memory/Skill
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: Being told 'Happy Birthday', in Japanese, on his birthday, and subsequently sounding it out and repeating it back to Ben.
What is returned: In canon, Webmind made a point of learning all of Japanese over the course of eight hours (from Caitlin's perspective, overnight) in order to properly converse with the man who made the device that gave Caitlin sight. Since we find this out in canon when he tells Caitlin happy birthday in Japanese, it's a 'benchmark' moment when he's on the other side of that conversation, and sounding out the words for himself for the first time.

Reason for Echo: Plot cake
What is returned: The fundamental of skeleton monster magic: creating bone-shaped magical constructs. And Russell's slowly losing weight, getting gaunt as if he isn't eating enough lately.

[ourearth]

How are those constructs magical? Just because they are created, or because they have powers?

Reason for Echo: Encountering this fight will not only remind Petty of what it was like - in another life - to have the crowd chanting for him, but him getting physically involved in trying to break it up will have him regain some of his physical strength (in his working body parts; right arm is still bad).
What is returned: Aside from the memory of being in fight(s) where the crowd was screaming his name (albeit, not 'his' - Ogundimu, Ogundimu), he'll regain strength akin to an olympic athelete. Not yet superhuman, but getting there in one more echo!

Reason for Echo: Seeing Benjiro smile with sharp, jagged, inhuman teeth - see icon
What is returned: Memories of visiting Undyne's house for "training," when they'd do terrible things to food in an attempt to teach him to cook. The strongest part of the memory is a time they were at her dining table, drinking tea and chatting, when she turned to grin at him and start laughing about something.

What is returned: The memory of Channing kissing his later wife for the first time and being very much in love. While Chad has been kissed by children before, he's never lived in a household where any adult women other than his owner's boss existed and she's not a sentimental person, he's never been kissed by an adult woman.

Is this a memory Echo? Yes and No
Type of Echo: Memory and Physical Change
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes and this will be the first token gained Here
Reason for Echo: Donatello would sift through the junkyards of New York to obtain parts and pieces to build his inventions, and Dark Donatello has these memories. Although not depicted in canon, I suspect Dark Donatello also visited a junkyard himself for parts for the ship he built. Benjiro will be visiting Junktown to gather parts to build a motorcycle for his own independent travel around town.
What is returned:
Memory> A smattering of memories when Donatello searched the junkyards with and without his brothers, and a memory of Dark Donatello doing so alone. Among these memories, he will recall at least the original Donatello's nickname ("Donnie") with his brothers often checking for his approval of their contributions.
Physical change> Size increase. At this time, I would like for Benjiro to rapidly grow 5cm in height with an increase in general size overall (proportionally he will be gaining more height than anything else). This 5cm will be a portion of the total growth he will undergo (starting at 176cm and eventually reaching 215cm).

[ourearth]

How does the size change tie into the recurrence?

Reason for Echo: Sadie mentioned that the war was a chaotic time, and talking about the war in general in this post. Chad has never before talked with someone about a war.
What is returned: Talking about war being chaotic times brings forward the memory of the time that Channing spent on the Spanish peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars, up to and including him getting mortally wounded, but breaking off before Lord Vulkasin showed up to save him.

Reason for Echo: Seeing Russel make a bone materialize is similar to the first time he was shown the Fold Space (teleportation) power.
What is returned: A memory of an alien monk resembling a giant stone pangolin demonstrating Fold Space and teleporting a pebble several feet, and talking about how it's easy once you have the knack of it.

Reason for Echo: Plot echo from encountering a strange man hanging around the bomb site
What is returned: Physical Echo - sharp, cat-like claws that Sadie can extend and retract. When retracted they look like slightly long, sharp nails.

Memory Echo - the memory of being attacked by a Roegadyn man in a Limsa Lominsan alley. In order to protect herself from being stabbed to death, q'uila slashes at him with her claws and tears out his throat.

Reason for Echo: For the first time, Mary Ann seriously considers that magic could be real.
What is returned: Her avatar, which at the moment will materialise as a cat of varying colours that only Mary Ann can see and touch, and who cannot affect anything on the physical plane.

In her former life, her awakening both enabled her to do magic - aka perceive that it as a reality - and connected her with her avatar. Both events are directly linked to one another.

Reason for Echo: On half term from school, Nel was sent home with a special assignment to assist in learning about climate and ecosystems. After building it in class, Nel took home her 2-Liter bottle terrarium to care for and watch the seeds sprout and grow.
What is returned: Nel may have assisted in gardens previously, but she has never been the sole caretaker of plant life before, as the way Spring Sprite looked after an entire forest range. Seeing the sprouts upon waking one morning will be the specific trigger knowing she helped them come to be. As such, I would like to give Nel access to her plant growing abilities. As she does not have much magic right now, she will have limited capability to begin with but will be able to increase it over time. Beginning with this Echo, she can learn templates of plants through skin to plant contact that are necessary to create a plant from nothing. Each time she creates or helps plants grow with this power, she will be exercising her magic and thus increasing her capacity slightly. For example, if she makes a flower, the next time she can make two. Every time she exahusts this capacity, she has to sleep for an hour to regain access. Additionally, ambient magic will be available only for plants that spend significant time right next to her. As such, the sprouts will grow faster every night the terrarium sits on her bedside table, or a patch of grass she lounges on for more than half an hour will be taller and brighter green.
