OKAY SO THE ECHO. It's a fairly rare ability that some people possess. It's a gift from the Mother Crystal, otherwise known as Hydaelyn. It's a powerful sort of protection, and there are a few things granted by the Echo! The following is shamelessly grabbed from Kaji's own Echo post:
- Those that possess the Echo can gain random glimpses into the past of others. What they're shown can give them context or a hint on what to do in the situation. This will only be done with your permission, and she can't see memories that someone has not regained. She can see someone's time in Kyriakos, however. She cannot interfere or change anything - it's just like memory roulette.
- The Echo is senseable by gods, magical beings, elementals, primals, whatever. It's a very warm feeling, and recongizable as a blessing, and it cannot be removed even if it can be turned off for games.
- The Echo also grants the user the ability to understand all languages! This will probably not come up in Kyr, if only because there's a universal translator anyway.
- The Echo will also grant Ranmaia resistance to mindwashing, possession, and magical manipulation in general. Due to the powercap and so on, she will not be immune! But she will know someone is trying something and will be able to fight back, though there's no guarantee of her winning the mental battle there. The Echoes are the ones most likely to override this, but it's certainly not out of the question for a PC to do it either!
If you're kind of just "ehhhh we'll deal with it when it comes to that" that's fine too, regarding the memory thing. \o/
