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: Anthony Janvier
How long they've been in game: Since approximately the beginning of the game - within the first few days of April!
When or how long ago their first Echo was: I say a month or two prior to discovery of the network.
How many total they've received so far: Fourteen.

What do they think of their Echos?: He knows that he was a messenger in the Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne with some nebulous involvement in matters of occult magic, which he gathers was a thing he was both aware of and the cause for his transformation into a zombie - he's got a mix of pride and deep discomfort and apprehension over the implications in various areas of what he's gotten.

And on other things?: He's likely got the most idealistic view of the condition of things he can take; he feels very strongly, even if he tries to avoid waxing on it, that this whole thing is some kind of chosen destiny, very possibly under some active authority or higher power and very probably to fend off the whole talked-of invasion - while a good-intentioned verbal knock on the head jolted him out of the worst of the insufferable-sufferer take-your-lot mentality he took on with it, he still figures solidarity, support, and cooperation is key and is eager to make himself of use.

Any plans for them in the future?: In the Echoes department!

Thus far his zombification Echoes have been approximately a month and a half in between - I plan to give 'im his next mid-September and time its advancement after that for the end of October, setting him to drop fully physically "dead" (but come-to in an hour or two afterwards!) in mid-December; and meanwhile should another Sanity/Insanity Echo find opportunity to hit along the way it'll take the form of a vivid vision of his limbs coming detached. Alas!

He'll also be set to learn Magick at some point - the one spell that he'll be able to cast will be Ulyaoth-aligned Enchant Item, which "charges" in-tact items with the power of an elder god or alternatively seals broken ones up back together. I'm hoping to hold out to trigger the Echo that'd get him the Ulyaoth rune, one of the four components needed to actually cast the spell, by something along the lines of breaking a vase - that is in fact more or less how his preincarnation found it! And since the StE universe currently lacks the presence of Ulyaoth himself, useability will most likely take one Echo for the finding and another for imbuing with his energy.

Also now vaguely debating whether or not to physically Echo back the ruby eye solely as a candidate on a list of prospects, especially seeing as it was last in the inventory of Paul (even with the unlikelihood of a Paul or Peter turning up, passing along items would be the reason I'm not planning to Echo him back a certain much more impressive sword than the one he's got!) - a ruby cut to be used as a key found jammed into one of his empty eye sockets by the cultists after his actual eyes have rotted out (or possibly been eaten by rats). If this would not be excessive then well Echoing it back "early" certainly would be.
