ECHO CLASSIFIED ADS MEME



Have an Echo request that you're just dying to make but you can't seem to find a canon reoccurrence trigger for - or a trigger you'd love to bring into play in a specific way?

Consider this our first try at an Echo-specific plotting meme!

Gather up, post a comment for each of your characters, and fill out information on what Echoes you're looking to obtain or play about with either freeform or using the copypaste form for a start:

<b>Character:</b> REINCARNATED NAME | ORIGINAL NAME | CANON <b>Description:</b> [A quick blurb! Who are they? Who're they becoming? What are they currently up to?] <b>Seeking Triggers For:</b> [Feel free to make a list in bullet, paragraph, or whatever form you'd like of things you're particularly interested in getting for your character! Elaborate as much as you want on ideas for how they could Echo it, ways that you want them to discover it or get their start using it, etc. But please make the gist of what you want to get for them clear! For example, bolding or uppercase [E.x. <b>Lycanthropy</b> or TELEKINESIS.] <b>Unique Features/Abilities/Knowledge:</b> [What Echoes or other special features might they have that could induce an Echo from someone? For example, can they cast a magical spell with particularly showy effects? Are they a supernatural creature or have some features of one? Do they have knowledge that might "remind" someone of something similar?]

Peruse at will and see what another character might have that interests you - or how yours can assist another one net an Echo!

Let's give it a go!

Character: Fred Vandenberg | Felix | Golden Sun
Description: Fred was once a fairly ordinary college student. Then the Numbers happened, and he got powers, and aliens killed his mother. Now he's pretty much stopped going to classes and is trying to figure out what being Numbered does/should mean for him. This may end up leading him to Vegas or a subsequent location, but at the moment he's got no plans to leave Locke. (Though doing so properly might well give him an Echo or two...)

Seeking Triggers For: PIRATE ESCAPES WITH LAME INSULT: One of the most hilarious scenes in Golden Sun is Briggs' escape. Felix gets Briggs, a notorious pirate, locked up, and then later Briggs escapes on a ship that Felix helped fix (literally right after; the guy saying the repairs are complete shows up almost on the heels of the guy reporting the escape). Felix gets to the harbor before the ship gets very far, though it's too far to catch up, and Briggs gets to deliver the taunt he's been saving for Felix (which consists of "Neener neener neener! Neener neener neener! Neener neener neener! Neener neener bleah!") I figure this could be triggered by either the "ridiculous insult" angle or the "he's getting away" angle, particularly now that Fred's at least tentatively superheroing. Alternately, if you can bring up some of the things Briggs says before taunting him - notably "Keep [town name] safe from thieves and pirates! And politicians, too!" - that could well work also.
MY MAGIC'S NAMED WHAT NOW?: I'd like to get him some of the canon-specific terminology, most particularly "Psynergy" for the magic itself, but also spell names; his healing spell, in particular, is Cure, which could work with some of the Final Fantasy people if stuff comes out. I have no specific ideas on this one.
YOU'RE A WEREWOLF: Like many fantasylands, Golden Sun has werewolves. If some of Locke's have access to a "wolfman" shape - the classic humanoid bodyshape with wolf head and fur - that could trigger some things. Especially if some of the triggering weres are cubs or have particularly fancy clothes they might wear while wolfmen.
EVENT MEMORIES: I'd like him to get more of these in general. Apart from Briggs' escape, above, I don't have a lot of specific ideas, and besides I'm pretty sure I know fewer canons here than we have players who know mine, so let me know if you've got any thoughts!
PSYNERGY TRAINING GROUND: Okay so the third Golden Sun game (the one that mostly doesn't include Felix) has this place called the Psynergy Training Ground, which is literally a theme park version of the first two games. As in, actual rides and carnival stuff. Considering that the games in question involve (among a number of other things) the near-death of both of Felix's parents, I can't believe he'd be happy with this. I just think it'd be fun for someone to suggest setting up some kind of training ground to learn how to deal with Echoed powers, and Fred to go "O.O NOPE I don't even know why but NOPE".

Unique Features/Abilities/Knowledge: Fred probably doesn't have a whole lot that's interesting, apart from his healing magic (with a visual of rising yellow sparkles) and drop-a-rock spell. If you get him talking about past-self experiences he might bring up the waterfall at the edge of his world, glimpsed in a brief Echo some time ago. Um... possibly his Djinni, pictured in the icon, could prompt something if handled right.
