ECHOES OPINIONS MEME

[struckout]

We all love smashing our characters in the face with Echoes, right? And yet, rarely do we have the opportunity to ramble about what they actually think about them and/or just what the hell they assume is really going on...!

RIGHT HERE IS THAT CHANCE. Fill out the below for each of your dudez or ladiez, then comment around with your own thoughts or offers to help with future plans or whatever. Hell, post ICly too, if you want! 8Db

Character: Fred Vandenberg / Felix
How long they've been in game: Mid-April-ish
When or how long ago their first Echo was: About then. Before the Dead District statue got wrecked, but after it showed up.
How many total they've received so far: Ten. Whoa, that's more than I thought.

What do they think of their Echos?: Fred... has no idea. He still thinks his first Echo was a memory of 'his' death, even though all of the others happened after it. He is a bit alarmed that he got a sword out of the deal - up until the mines he'd barely gotten into so much as a fistfight. On the other hand, it goes well with the "I will save the world, no matter what" he got around the same time.

And on other things?: He thinks he's ready and willing to kill any Gardeners or their minions (including relevant Thunder people) that he finds and figures he can get away with. This... could prove interesting, since I usually play his preincarnation as being really not into killing if he can avoid it, and as implied above Fred has not been a violent person up until now.

Any plans for them in the future?: Random memories for the next little bit, I'm thinking. Golden Sun has, if nothing else, a bunch of quirky dungeons and environments to get snatches of. I may also do some stuff with the Djinni Echo who showed up a bit ago, although probably not the stuff that'd make him combat-useful.

Character: Thad Atterberry [Jake English]
How long they've been in game: 15 days
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Three years ago
How many total they've received so far: Just two so far

What do they think of their Echos?: So far Thad is pretty freaked out by these echos and he's not so sure he likes the idea of getting more. His first one practically traumatized him as a child and his second one just made him irrationally frustrated with technology. The fact that he got his second one, his first in several years, while arguing with DJ is making him extremely apprehensive of the guy.

And on other things?: He's kind of realized now how serious things are and that he's in danger. It scares the shit out of him, but eventually he's going to work towards getting more involved the best he can

Any plans for them in the future?: I really want to use his semi-celebrity status to fuck with him somehow, but I haven't figured out how yet. Also one of his echos is definitely going to be him getting his terrible eyesight back at a really inconvenient time.

Also there will be some hella drama with him and DJ when they get a few certain echos back.

Otherwise I am up for ideas and stuff.

[gogoghostpowers]

Character: Danny Fenton
How long they've been in game: 44 days
When or how long ago their first Echo was: About three years ago, at age 12.
How many total they've received so far: 4, but will be up to 5/6 pretty soon

What do they think of their Echos?: Right now he's only aware of two out of the four echoes (his intangibility and knowledge of Amity Park's location), so. He's mostly just confused. He used to be scared, namely of the intangibility, and he still kind of is, but he's mostly adjusted to that one now.

And on other things?: He thinks his parents are actually onto something after they were right about the water and is now much more inclined to believe their theories. He doesn't know yet quite how Thunder Corp is connected to it but HE WILL FIGURE IT OUT. EVENTUALLY.

Any plans for them in the future?: My two big plans for Danny's echoes right now are: regain his full ghost form, at least down to appearance/biology basics, which is when he'll come to the undeniable conclusion that he is actually some fort of dead. (And promptly proceed to be terrified and upset all over again.) He'll have a fair amount of trouble trying to hide all the unnatural aspects of his appearance.

My other plan is that, once that's done, he's going to start remembering all his criminal charges and that he was basically a convict in two different dimensions. He'll become convinced that he's like, I dunno...the reincarnation of a murderer whose crimes were so awful they're still trying to punish him after he got the death penalty.

Also, his intangibility is gonna get stronger. I don't have it planned out yet when, but rest assured, he will get strong enough with it that he'll be able to possess people. Get in line people, Danny will happily possess you by accident and then run and scream at the network about it in your body!

[goodboybestshot]

oh my god dibs on one of these possession instances

[espigeonage]

Oooh. Oooh. Do Julien late enough that he might have started to calm down, and be set off again by how inhuman this body is!

[formermagicalgirl]

When Danny gets the ability to possess people I volunteer Edgeworth.

Mostly because yeah, it would be hilarious because he's so straightlaced. Though that whole thing will most definitely give him an echo as well, just don't be surprised if Danny forever ends up at the receiving end of his infamous glares.

[espigeonage]

Character: Julien/Yuuya
How long they've been in game: 139 days.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: First echo and entry into the game were less than a day apart.
How many total they've received so far: Seventeen!

What do they think of their Echoes?: Doesn't know Yuuya's name, but the first memory echo involved responding to the name "Apostle of the Violet Rose", so Julien usually calls him "the Apostle".

He knows Yuuya is extremely inhuman, obviously, and possesses wings. Aaron told him a while back that Julien's anatomical changes are all very avian, but Julien really wants to believe he's not turning into a bird, so he's going with "somewhat birdlike" and not even thinking much about that. As it turns out his general willpower and ability to be positive and focus also make him very good at denial.

"Angel" is still something he'd prefer, though... not at all the traditional sort. The gigglewater brought back that first memory (in which Yuuya hallucinated being a human healer-knight), which helps a little. He also knows Yuuya went into some kind of kingdom of the dead to rescue people or souls, and faced the monstrous soul-absorbing King that he couldn't fight while doing so.

He thinks Yuuya was a serious, set, kind of grim character, because a lot of memories come with serious mental anguish over something he did once to save his brother, and Yuuya's used that to fuel a kind of conviction/attempt to atone through saving people. He does want to protect humans, and there's the disturbing inference that there aren't many left.

It's weird that Yuuya owns a smartphone. Recognizable tech, even if it's weird-looking.

Julien is sure he'd be more useful if he was more like his other self, who seems extremely capable and determined. He thought Yuuya was always sure of himself and what to do, but the latest one seems to cast doubt on that - then again, he also feels certain that "I didn't do it so he'd love me" is the oldest one yet. He dreads it happening, but...

And on other things?: Julien wants to do things! And help. He... doesn't really know what to do but organization is good, and he sometimes thinks of useful details. Being "leader" stressed him out and people didn't act according to plan, but also no one was hurt or killed, which is good. He hopes very much that he'll not have to do that kind of thing again.

Even if he doesn't show it, he worries about a lot of people and what will happen to them.

He's... actually really torn up by Aaron forgetting. It's comingled with the latest memory, which is devastating. If that latest entry had come with video and he didn't have a moment to make himself look presentable, there'd be self-hugging, unpretty faces, and so on, and he's trying to fight back the idea that it's somehow his fault. But said memory also came with "Swallow it back, maintain hope, keep going and don't let anyone know", so he's got more of a facade up than if he hadn't gotten an Echo out of it.

Any plans for them in the future?: Hahaha. Ha. Aha. Boy is turning into a secret agent fantail pigeon. I know a lot about avian anatomy and physiology, and also Hatoful Boyfriend.

He'll have to get the bird uplift virus and start unwillingly spreading it eventually. He'll also have to learn about the virus that led to 95% of humans dying, possibly before getting the uplift virus. The future also holds a pigeon tongue, which is forked but not in the way you think, and feathers for hair, and hollow bones and bird blood, and ears which hear ten times faster, and thin tough skin, and a complex skin oil and related gland, and avian muscles, and magnetic-field-sensing organs, and the desire for flight.

Then he'll grow feathers and his hands will turn into wings and he'll have a tail, which... yeah he'll kind of fall apart then. Also somewhere in there are more Yuuya memories and artifacts. I'm excited about them too, I just can't ramble about them off the cuff like with anatomy.

[minkhollow]

--ooooh hey hey a thing.

Action log sometime where Julien stealths up behind Becky and scares the everliving crap out of her? And then I can Echo her a memory of Mrs. Frederic, who regularly stealths up behind people and scares the everliving crap out of them. (Rewatched an episode last night where a guy's getting something out of his fridge and she PHOTOBOMBS IN BEHIND HIM, holy crap.)

I should be back around after Labor Day. :D?

[reapsthewind]

Character: Christobel Starsky / Starscream
How long they've been in game: SINCE THE BEGINNING
When or how long ago their first Echo was: February 05, 2013.
Chris and her unnamed former best friend got lost in a snowstorm while doing urban exploration in the Dead District. Her friend vanished and didn't bother calling her to tell her that he'd ended up in the hospital, leading her to think he'd died. They basically stopped talking to each other after that, at which point Chris' eyes melted out of her head and were replaced with metal.
How many total they've received so far: 18

What do they think of their Echos?: She's so torn. On the one hand, the cybernetic implants, though inconvenient, are really cool. On the other, most of the memories she's gotten back alternate between nonsensical and really depressing, and she's afraid of completely losing herself.

And on other things?: Chris has probably been more on top of plot related shit than most other characters so far? She now works for a company that contracts with Thunder Corp.
*e* also thanks to getting back a measure of Starscream's poor judgement, she's going to start advocating for direct assault soon.
Any plans for them in the future?: Becoming more and more robotic over time, and initially starting to get excited about the knowledge and power she's getting, before the truth comes out that Starscream's a sociopath and war criminal :V

I'm also debating getting her killed at some point since she has Echoed back the mutation that lets Starscream's soul survive beyond death... but we'll see. That'd leave her bodiless which makes CR hard.

[icy_heavens]

Character: Toushirou Hitsugaya
How long they've been in game: Since April 10th
When or how long ago their first Echo was: About a month before he connected for the first time. Who knew that having a lazy project partner would trigger something?
How many total they've received so far: Ten

What do they think of their Echos?: He's not entirely averse to the ones that give him skills, really. They kind of give him a feeling of being in control and capable. He likes that, kind of embraces it, even; he volunteers himself for combat support when network people get together for investigations. On the other hand, he's not sure how sword skills, cryokinesis, and superspeed are supposed to fit together. It's a weird mishmash. And that ghost knowledge? What's that about? Weird nonsense possible "incantation" in Japanese, too. Where does that fit in? What the hell is it even supposed to do if it's a spell? He frankly doesn't have much of an idea on how that all ties together.

One of his memory echoes disturbs him, where he sees himself saving someone from a hoard of monsters only to seemingly kill the guy himself. He kind of worries about what kind of person his "other self" was if he could do something like that. It just doesn't seem right to him. He really hopes he's missing some context there and there's something about the situation that makes it more palatable.

And on other things?: If given the opportunity to go back to being normal . . . he probably wouldn't take it. For all the messed-up, dangerous stuff that's going on, he wants to be a part of this. His forgetting won't mean this stuff isn't happening. What it would mean was that he wouldn't be able to do anything about it, wouldn't be able to protect his family. That's not something he wants.

He pretty much trusts the network people, whether he can be said to like them or not. (Spoilers: he doesn't really care for most of you that much.) Thundercorp? Ahahaha, no way. He doesn't know if they're a front or what, but they're involved and they're bad news. He's careful about his abilities and such in general, so I wouldn't count him as being less trusting of "normies" in general. He just. Doesn't want to advertise what he can do, just in case. Especially now with the cops on high-alert for weird behaviour and general happenings. Network cops, he's good with. Off-network cops? Nope, doesn't trust them and will try to avoid them.

Any plans for them in the future?: Well, he's due for some physical changes at some point down the line, minor as they'll be. Read: his hair going white, and he'll shrink three inches. The loss of height will bother him way more than the hair change. Way. More. He'll need some help fudging an explanation that his Granny can accept. Next time he gets involved in a big dangerous plot event, he's totally getting his sword back, sans the swords powers. Which is great for him until he has to figure out how to keep Granny from finding it.

And there will be memories of bloody battles, of betrayal, of weird monsters, and all that good stuff. Yay, shinigami life.

[counterclock]

Character: Avery Strider
How long they've been in game: 41 days.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Two weeks or some shit?
How many total they've received so far: Two! She's. Kind of staying away from shit atm.

What do they think of their Echos?: She's mostly not even noticing them as strange occurrences. She just thinks they're kind of weird personality evolutions hitting her at odd times.

And on other things?: She still thinks it's all some elaborate roleplay but that's kind of hard to keep on believing. Regardless she thinks it's mostly bullshit.

Any plans for them in the future?: I WANT HER TO REALIZE IT'S ALL REAL...

[unwakingwaters]

Character: Maya Aaronson / Aqua
How long they've been in game: since July 12
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Hers was in 1966, so 47 years ago.
How many total they've received so far: 9
What do they think of their Echos?: She's confused and uncertain, and mostly very disturbed that they seem vaguely close to the books she wrote. It's actually really disturbing when your fiction starts becoming reality.

And on other things?: she has a house and she gardens?

Any plans for them in the future?: ffff idk with her
at some point I want her to revert to Aqua's original age

[skickpowered]

Character: Al Amagi/Alata
How long they've been in game: 100
When or how long ago their first Echo was: for 12 years he said
How many total they've received so far: just five _(:3/ L)_

What do they think of their Echos?: Al is... quite lost and unsure with all these echoes he's receiving. And thanks to Al's first echo, he is aware he had fought giant monsters in the past, even though Al himself couldn't really see himself as a fighter. (Though having to learn how to use a sword seems pretty cool to him.) He's also being hinted that he was some sort of angel, but Al's pretty unsure of that, since he doesn't recall having wings or a halo. The typical picture of an angel.

And on other things?: He's making use of his Gosei Blaster (a type of gun) as a means of self-defense. And use it once he finds more Vermedi again. (And he hopes not.)

Any plans for them in the future?: For now, I want him to slowly make him aware he was an angel. And once that's done, he'll be getting his guardian angel powers back (one by one). And in-between, I'm planning to throw useless stuff at him in the meantime. Like his cards.

[chalicejoker]

Hey, hey hey, cards are NEVER USELESS.

[somedaytogether]

Character: Amrita Khanna [Anthy Himemiya]
How long they've been in game: August 4th, roughly.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Probably a day earlier than she joined the network, since she had time to freak out and read the FAQ
How many total they've received so far: Three.


What do they think of their Echos?: Rita was cool with her first two echoes, more or less. She thought the roses were a bit creepy, but they were also really interesting. And a great conversation starter. And knowing that people with naturally blue hair existed is not such a huge deal.

So she decided that echoes were valuable! And meaningful! And induced one with the water. That was not fun. It was a memory of being tortured, and the only clue she has as to why was the word witch. She is still very freaked out about it, and very upset. She no longer considers echoes a good thing, and she would be nervous about getting more.

And on other things?: Not really! Rita does have powers that would be useful in combat, but she doesn't know she has those powers, which is unhelpful. Still, she'll probably get involved in the plot next month.

Any plans for them in the future?: Swords. Swords and trauma.

[dyingtohealyou]

Character: Akito Tanabe // Ahito
How long they've been in game: August 24th aka like one day.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: A week or so prior.
How many total they've received so far: Two

What do they think of their Echos?:
-He's probably going to insta-mutate and have silver hair and cyan eyes at some point. Probably should prepare for this with hair dye and colored contacts.
-His eye hurt like hell and his entire body felt like it was under siege. Not very good signs for future developments.
-As cool as it is to get free stuff, he's not happy about having to figure out how the hell to hide a handgun somewhere that his parents absolutely positively will not find it.

And on other things?: Everything is crazy and he's still not entirely sure what to make of it other than a vague sense that he should do what he can to help out now that he's been dragged into this mess.

Any plans for them in the future?: Remembering the horrific experiments Ahito was put through by his parents and suddenly feeling more alienated from his own family even if they would never do such a thing. Dealing with funny animu-colored hair and eyes. Dealing with being nearly blind in one eye. Dealing with-- actually no, suddenly being able to aim accurately with a gun is incredibly useful knowledge to have in this situation.

In the more long term, he'll be gradually becoming more and more bitter from the things he recalls, hurray!

[synchronous]

Character: DJ Nelson/Dirk Strider
How long they've been in game: Two weeks!
When or how long ago their first Echo was: A little more than two weeks.
How many total they've received so far: 2

What do they think of their Echos?: He's just confused by them. He doesn't believe in the reincarnation thing, so he has no idea what's going on.

And on other things?: Thunder Corp is probably bad, the network is weird, and everyone might actually be hallucinating. He's happy to get to know Roxy in person, even if her taste in other friends (Thad) leaves something to be desired. He's mostly just biding his time and trying to figure stuff out.

Any plans for them in the future?: I'm pretty much just going with the flow for now, but eventually he's going to regain memories of Dirk's douchey, abusive behavior and become utterly terrified of becoming like that. Fun times! There will also be shenanigans when he and Thad regain memories of their preincarnations' relationships.

[argents]

Character: banagher links!
How long they've been in game: since april 2nd, so 146 days!
When or how long ago their first Echo was: he had his first echo on april 1st and was convinced it was some kind of horrible cosmic joke.
How many total they've received so far: 11, he's a late bloomer.

What do they think of their Echos?: since he's only received one really terrible echo so far (the image of a mobile suit ripping through a space colony and incinerating a bunch of kids like it was nothing) he's not entirely afraid of the process because he doesn't know any better, but that's also because he is the sweetest of the summer children at this point. he's more frustrated at the puzzle-like sequence of his echoes with nothing to really show for it but extreme space empathy. but he wants to believe really hard that it'll culminate in something that can really help. he just doesn't know it'll involve slogging through oceans of blood, sweat, and tears because that's how we do things in gundam. the one thing he's afraid of and simultaneously curious about is the potential to have the unicorn gundam show up because 1. it's a weapon and 2. JESUS WHERE WOULD HE EVEN HIDE THAT THING

at least he's 100% sure he lived in space! which he's slowly getting used to without knowing it's been at war for a hundred years.

And on other things?: he's pretty crushed about the sage thing being a complete fake, because now it's back to square one. though he doesn't trust thunder corp or the police or the military, he very much wants to believe that just because the organization is corrupt doesn't mean everyone working for them is. banagher is getting way more curious about why things staged by the 'enemy' seem to give them echoes -- touching the statues or the vermy-things or drinking the water. because echoes are supposed to help them get strong right? right? other than that he pretty much still trusts anyone who is so much as kind to him and he's trying to be kind to everyone in turn because wow you guys have some shitty echoes to get through. :(

Any plans for them in the future?: remembering audrey, remembering dead parents and their melodramatic you must pilot the robot speeches, strengthening his newtype powers so he can sense/harness the souls of dead people and move shit with the power of his freak brain, giving him like a spine so he can fight like he's thinking he might want to, getting the unicorn into locke finally. that he's killed people, oops.

basically remembering that he's the space messiah, move over kira

[wirsinddiejager]

Character: Alan Hunter/Eren Yeager
How long they've been in game: 41 days
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Immediately before his first Network post.
How many total they've received so far: Ten

What do they think of their Echos?: He thinks they're really disturbing and wants nothing to do with his past self, since for the most part he just remembers being a horrible violent jerkass. He also freaked out really badly when he remembered getting eaten alive. :')

And on other things?: He's worried and scared about all the weird stuff going on, but wants to help as much as he can.

Any plans for them in the future?: Pain, pain, pain and body horror. As his echoes get even crazier, he'll probably start trying to actively resist any changes they might make in his personality because he really does not want to become a weird murderous douche.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Character: Marisa Kirisame
How long they've been in game: 93 days
When or how long ago their first Echo was: 95 days
How many total they've received so far: 7

What do they think of their Echos?: She's come to the conclusion that her past life was way more awesome than her current life. She's actually starting to get frustrated by it. In this life she is utterly normal (personality issues aside), comes from a kind of fucked up family, but she still has to deal with all these echoes and monsters and shit. In her past life, she had lots of friends, phenomenal cosmic powers, and apparently she fought monsters. It's not that she can't deal with creepy shit, it's just that she doesn't have the TOOLS to do it right now. It's makes everything so much more complicated.

And on other things?: she doesn't really know what to think about ThunderCorp, but the general consensus seems to be that they're up to no good. She's mostly letting people who are better equipped deal with that shit, since she doesn't have the first idea how to do so. She's in high school for fuck's sake.

Any plans for them in the future?: Once other people start reaching the appropriate power level, Marisa is going to remember a single attack spell: Master Spark. It's a giant laser that can blow holes in buildings, but can't turn down the power level to anything lower. Impractical to use.

After that, I have the tentative plan of having her regain all her magic notes at once. That's a lot of power she theoretically would gain, but it's all in bad handwriting, in japanese, and written to help an expert magician keep track of things, rather than to let a beginner learn how to start. It would take her a long ass time to start deciphering them and relearning how to do magic properly.

[wonk]

Character:Mordin Solus
How long they've been in game: Four months
When or how long ago their first Echo was: About a week before his first network post, right about when it went live.
How many total they've received so far: 6
What do they think of their Echos?: Mordin's actually fairly happy with most of his Echoes - as far as he knows, he's turning into some kind of alien called a salarian, and they seem to be a smart species, considering the knowledge and device he's gained. He is fairly worried about what the metabolism thing is doing to his lifespan, though.

And on other things?: Mordin's been keeping a pretty cool head about everything that's going on, although he's been kind of disappointed at the apparent lack of adults organizing things. Teenagers are all well and good, but you can't bring them to gunfights.


Any plans for them in the future?: I'm probably going to give him the full salarian metabolism plus short lifespan as soon as possible, but otherwise, I've been mostly winging it. It's been kind of difficult to get him echoes, actually, since canon recurrences are hard to come by for someone like him.

Character: Roxy Kurosawa/Roxy Lalonde
How long they've been in game: Two weeks
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Right before the first network post
How many total they've received so far: 3

What do they think of their Echos?: Roxy actually doesn't think all that much of her echoes. She's kind of accepted them, since she really can't figure all that much out, although the conversation with what appears to be an alternate form of DJ raises some odd questions.

And on other things?: Roxy is terrified of what's going on. As far as she can tell, Thunder Corp is out to get them, the police are out to get them, and if she sees something, she should say nothing, and drink to forget.

Meeting Thad and DJ was pretty cool, though.

Any plans for them in the future?: I'm actually remarkably tempted to go down the "several useless Echoes in a row" route, but honestly, I'm probably going to wing hers as much as Mordin's.

[schild]

Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
How long they've been in game: 27 days.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Several weeks before their first network post (enough time to recover from being in the hospital, see)
How many total they've received so far: A whopping 13.

What do they think of their Echos?: Ryan knows he must have been a Titan in his past life, but he doesn't actually know what titans are besides being giants that produce steam when they heal and are powerful enough to crush people. Since all the people he's met from his past-life have exhibited signs of being titans, he honestly believes everyone was titans.

And on other things?: He's worried about his friends and the state of everything, and wants to help, especially those who can't protect themselves. Seriously, he's just approaching this as another emergency. Since he's accepted that he's probably not human, he has no problem with nonhuman reincarnates tho.

Any plans for them in the future?: My original plan was to keep Ryan oblivious until the very end when things really got bad (and the warrior echoes started coming in), but he's not in a vacuum so I don't see that happening anymore. There's no way he'll regain his powers and not trigger bad memories, but I'm hoping his sense of duty will be strong enough that even when he sees what Reiner did, he'll still want to use his powers for everyone's benefit.

In the more immediate future, I want him to throw a barbecue and eventually get body-horror level transformations but that'd be after he's able to grow back limbs, haha. AND on a non-serious note, he's slowly going steady with Bertholdt. When he starts having freaky problems, he'll probably have to quit his job and go hideout in Bert's apartment.

[shambles]

Character: Logan Williamson | King Logan
How long they've been in game: 42 Days.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: Night before April 1st.
How many total they've received so far: Two.

What do they think of their Echos?: He's kind of confused and skeptical of the whole past life thing. If it is a past life though, he's pretty sure it's uneventful.

The sword thing is kind of neat, if not incredibly outdated.

And on other things?: This shit is fucked up? He's worried about his family or he himself being attacked at random? It's really played on some paranoia there. He's convinced himself it's one big government conspiracy, though he doesn't know how high up the conspiracy really goes. Thunder Corp is just in on it with the government okok.

Any plans for them in the future?: Well Logan doesn't really have any cool abilities to get or anything. I'll probably throw some useless echoes at him for a bit. I'd like to trigger some memories at some point? Not the overly terrible ones just yet, but at least something to make the "past life" bit seem less baseless.

Also, echoes involving chickens and chickens being involved in everything definitely need to happen. I just have no idea how to go about that.

[amberhearted]

The public school has a 4H club that includes chickens. They wouldn't say no to a volunteer for, say, a farm fair.........

what kind of chicken echoes are you looking for?

[minkhollow]

Character: Becky Samson/Rebecca St. Clair (entertainaplanb, since I'm mun-journaling it up)
How long they've been in game: Oh hey, 101 days. Fancy that.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: I used the destruction of the Dead District statue as the source for it, so ~a month before she actually hit up the network.
How many total they've received so far: Twelve. Mostly memories/knowledge with a few items thrown in.

What do they think of their Echos?: She's wondered once already, with the number of electricity-themed Echoes she's got, if she was a mad scientist in a previous life. Remembering that time she met HG Wells, who was busy uncrating her time machine, doesn't help dissuade that idea much. She hasn't had much chance to process the 'so there are things called Artifacts that do stuff like the gigglewater' thing, as that's a new one. Despite hiatus I may tag her into the 'same name?' post, as she's at least sure the first name is the same. As for the ring? She has no idea, man.

And on other things?: What's going on in general: She's in this fight to help keep her students safe. Thunder Corp: Well, they have poor taste in art, but beyond that her personal jury's still out. Other reincarnates: She feels more useless than most, since she only just got full functionality for her damn Tesla back (and then I hiatused).

Any plans for them in the future?:
First up: I think I will be back after all, at least for a while. Tagging into the love meme and letting some personal nonsense settle out helped me recharge. :D
As for future plans, HEY, ANYONE ELSE WANT TO APP INTO THE CANON??? Given Rebecca I would particularly love a Jack (all three relevant episodes are on Netflix, to boot), and I think Helena or Claudia or Pete or Myka would be especially fun to have around the place. (I'd app Claud myself, but [a] half the fun is bouncing canonmates off each other and [b] after three and a half years with one given backstory, I'm not sure I could play her pure-canon now. Also she makes faces at me. Also also I don't think I'd juggle more than one character here very well. XD)
Other than that, I think I'm going to have to Echo back her service weapon at some point. She's not likely to buy a gun, but if she has one she'll be able to use it.
My major plan is going to come with Christmas, as Rebecca's first brush with Warehouse life was effectively "Frosty the Snowman: Artifact Edition." Still noodling out how to do this, but leaning toward a Christmas pageant she's been roped into helping, and this being the first time she's really had cause to think about the words since she moved to Locke, and OH HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU GOT BOWLED OVER BY AN ANIMATE SNOWMAN??? My hope is that over the course of the holiday season she could slowly remember the whole encounter, including her first meeting with Jack (but not the part where Mrs. F popped up and offered her a job).

Character: Stella/Romsca
How long they've been in game: Since 04/01, 152 days
When or how long ago their first Echo was: see above
How many total they've received so far: Five

What do they think of their Echos?: Well... she sure is sentient! Other than that she doesn't have a real grasp on exactly what she is, besides the fact that she apparently was the type to get a tattoo... not that she knows what the cultural significance of that sort of thing is.

And on other things?: She kind of wishes that this had never happened to her, of course - ignorance is definitely bliss - but in a way, she's not sure if she'd go back to the way she was before all this happened given the chance. These echoes have truly saved her life and enriched it for the better. Not to say she's grateful! She's just been positively or neutrally affected by her echoes and she can appreciate a boon when she encounters one.

Any plans for them in the future?: She's going to get really, really big. More tattoos. MAYBE SOMEDAY SHE'LL BE ABLE TO TALK! DANG!!!!

Character: Azure/Mezool

When or how long ago their first Echo was: April 1st, natch
How many total they've received so far: four! oh my god that's a tiny amount why this

What do they think of their Echos?: Everything is real vague at the moment! She does have da majjyks though, which is cool. She plans to roll with them as they come and make the best of the situation!

And on other things?: The organization among the numbers club is so pitiful omg as soon as school stops assigning so much homework she is getting cracking on making info posts. SO MANY INFOPOSTS!!!

Any plans for them in the future?: :D She's going to end up thinking she was some kind of magical girl before this all goes south. Incredible. Other than that, she'll just be making plans, throwing girls only get togethers, getting her drivers license, and trying to ignore the nasty side effects of being the reincarnation of a Greeedo OuO

Character: Skyler/Sora
How long they've been in game: 48 days, since 07/27
How many total they've received so far: Seven!

What do they think of their Echos?: He's seen at least three different places, three different people, and a dozen different monsters, and he has no idea what the hell his relation to any of them are. He basically can't make head or tail of it, and he frankly doesn't want to. BUT... :T Something about the red-haired girl, man...

And on other things?: NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE HATES THIS WANTS OUT. Also scared of slowly becoming another person! This is his life and it may fucking suck but he likes the good parts and he doesn't want that to change.
