Suggestions are closed.

In the context of an upcoming plot event, there will be a wonderful, unique chance for wonderful, unique echoes! Echoes so wonderful and unique indeed that we can only have a small amount of them, which brings us to the following: Between today and the 31st (7:00pm GMT), you will be able to submit what you would like your character(s) to pulse back; and then until the 5th, everyone will get to vote on which four of those proposed pulses shall become reality. The mods will pick between one and four additional ones of those proposals to round the whole thing off a bit, and then they will take effect over the course of a few weeks.

Now what kind of echoes are we talking about?
- HUGE ONES. More specifically: Buildings, forests, (parts of) mountains, and whatever else is immobile and large. Rules about the size of echoes are obviously suspended in this case, but we'll reserve the option to downsize things in one way or the other to make them workable.
- The echoes in question should carry some significance for the character who echoes them, but in this instance the degree of importance to the character is irrelevant: Living near/in the place or it having a moderately important position in one's life is enough. For example: Any Attack on Titan character could echo Wall Sina, any The Hobbit dwarf could echo the Lonely Mountain, any Pokemon character could echo a Pokecenter and any student of Hogwarts could echo any part of the school grounds.
- The echoes will be plot echoes and thus won't need a trigger; they will be available to characters in both Vegas and Locke.
- Please keep it to a maximum of two echo suggestions per character. In the end, a maximum of one echo per player will be granted (in case more than one echo of a player end up in the top four, the highest ranking one will be implemented).

Please peruse the form below:

Would an Echoed location need to come with only land features/furniture/etc., or would an Echoed location come with, say, animals or other non-sentient/non-appable creatures or evidence thereof? For example, a video game character Echoing a dungeon with low-level monsters confined to it and/or the charred corpses of adventurers?

What are the upper limits we'd be looking at here? Structure sizes? What about things within any given building/castle/mountain/etc?

What about characters that come from versions of the real world?

I'm thinking specifically of Nations here, but I'm sure it applies to other characters. Would Åsa be able to echo, as an example, something like Helsinki cathedral which already exists in the game world, although not in either city.

Do we have to have a canon appearance for it? Like we don't know what Ered Luin looks like, but it's important to the Hobbit Dwarves, etc

I'm a little confused on how this works, which is possibly expected. In particular, what about recurrence Echoes?

Suppose I'm playing Harry Potter, and my suggestion of Gringott's Bank gets selected. When the bank shows up, would Harry be ineligible to get recurrence Echoes triggered solely by its presence? Alternately, should I indicate in my proposal what sort of Echoes I'd expect it to be likely to prompt in him?

Yup, that's fine! Although... only one per place? Even if a specific part of the place had particular significance to the character in canon, like the Potter and Lestrange vaults in the aforementioned Gringott's example?

I'm confused about this part of the instructions:

"- Please keep it to a maximum of two echo suggestions per character. In the end, a maximum of one echo per player will be granted"

Does that mean for an example, can I put two options for Liam/Legolas here, such as Mirkwood AND Dale?

I only see people putting in one, so I want to make sure.

Question 2:

In addition; in the event that you have a castmate with shared places of importance, are you allowed to repeat the request or must you pick something different?

So. I was thinking about suggesting a Senkaimon -- the means by which Bleach shinigami travel between their world and the world of the living. Now, obviously that wouldn't really be a thing here, so would it be possible to have that tweaked to where the "worlds" it could travel between were the Echo barriers? Or would that be changing it too much for it to be Echo-able?

Also, should that be workable, there are technically two "paths" through the Senkaimon. One takes people through a dangerous path called the Dangai (an intermediary pathway), and one that is quick and easy (basically just a room to pass through). The quick and easy way would necessitate a later Creature Echo on Toushirou's part before any character -- including himself -- could use it, but I suppose the question here is whether having both paths would be within the limits of the Echo, or whether they'd count as two separate places and therefore only one would be eligible.

Sweet.

The physical gate only has to exist on one side, so that's all that the request would entail; in canon, the pathway can open up anywhere in the world of the living, so for this, it'd work anywhere within the Echo barrier on the other side (or whatever limitations might be imposed there). Which means it could be used to get from Locke to another location, but not the other way around -- though there would be an ability Toushirou could Echo back eventually that would allow him to open a return path from anywhere. Still popping back out through the physical gate.

Return paths aren't a permanent thing in canon (because there it would be a dimensional rift that . . . that isn't a healthy thing for the universe there) but since this wouldn't really be a dimensional rift in the same sense, I could see the idea that it could be a more stable thing. Like perhaps opening a way back once could create a physical gate in that location that everyone could still use.

Sounds good to me. Just checking feasibility before officially suggesting it. :) /heads down to suggestion section
