Link to character's info post:Info post. Is this a memory Echo? Nope! Type of Echo: Power Are you using a Double Echo Token? No. Reason for Echo: Sky hasn't really been in any setting quite like the underground tunnels before, and while there gets buzzed by squeaking bats in the close space. Luke's been in a lot of different tunnels but being rushed by bats is juuuuust enough like traveling through Qom Jha spaces under Niruan. The Qom Jha are small batlike aliens who communicate through a combination of chirping and weak telepathy; Luke cooperated closely with them and relied extensively on his ability to sense and communicate with people using the Force.
What is returned: Luke has sort of a skill tree for the power he used to understand and talk to the Qom Jha. To comprehend speech he first had to be able to read into minds somewhat, to be able to reach into minds he needed to be able to sense them/sense life.
This means 'hearing' the pattern of life in his vicinity, with the conscious minds of animals being brighter than plants and sentient beings even moreso. He could learn to distinguish sentient beings from animals by their presence, and to sense their location is relation to him. It's very hard to understand much of this input at first, but the more he knows someone and how they think the more their presence might indicate - more or less alert and agitated. It's not mind reading and is much shallower than real empathy, which is a later thing.
The range for now is, I'm not sure, fifty feet?
come to think of it- Is this a memory Echo? Yes! Type of Echo: Memory Are you using a Double Echo Token? No. Reason for Echo: Listening to presences for the first time, being confused and unable to understand. What is returned: A brief memory of talking to Mara Jade on Wayland, helping her pick out individual minds from the general feel of the pattern of life around them, and thus be able to locate and count people by sense.
"Try looking for deviations. The ways the minds are different from each other. That's the best way to resolve them."
