Echo

Echo is a mysterious individual and nefarious trickster archetype, who stumbled upon DBA in the middle of one of its episodes. Talking about Echo herself is difficult as her "identity" seems inherently obfuscated, partially from the nature of her epithet. She seems strangely attached to DBA and the people within it. She has shown to be dedicated and, at times, terrifying.
She is currently focused on investigating the mysterious organization Mercadia alongside enigmatic semi-enemy Gervasio Santos, whom she does not get along with.
== Powers ==
Echo's powers allow her to shapeshift into her own allies. These transformations are slightly imperfect, as the kits all involve very small alterations to their functionality in places (usually with added shadowy or duplication flavorings) and are always swapped in color palette, having cyan and green clothing and hair, along with completely white skin and red eyes. When turning into someone Echo forms a strange empathetic link with the person, seemingly "walking a mile in their shoes" and "seeing the world from their perspective". Echo also gains their build, which alters her stamina and movement values. If she turns into a mundie she gains their mundie typing and the benefits that come with it, although if she's an epithet user she can only gain proficiency using the epithet of the persons he's turned into. She can only transform into current teammates however, and the sheets she copies are always at their base level. So far she has previously copied:

However, Echo isn't just some copycat! Her own set of abilities allow her to create shadowy ethereal duplicates of herself called "Terror Twins" which are frozen in place doing a specific move that Echo had access to at the time. She can hold them in place for a time at the cost of stamina, before releasing the clone to have them move forwards and do the action. These clones are summoned in the form that Echo is in currently, but afterwards Echo can switch freely while the Terror Twins stay the same. She can use this to effectively dual tech with herself on top of her teammates. Echo can also fake out attacks by causing an incoming hit to phase through what was actually a decoy. Her ultimate technique, the Five Man Band, allows her to quickly switch between the forms of all her allies and perform one action as each of them individually.
Echo's greatest weakness, however, is the action economy she requires. Both releasing a Terror Twin and switching forms takes a movement action, which restricts her own maneuverability and limits how much she can do while positioning herself correctly and getting into the right states at the right time. Because of this, unless she's using Five Man Band, she has to plan her turns out rounds in advance in order to not miss out on important opportunities.
Despite being fairly expressive herself, her epithet seems to rob her of her own "identity" which causes her lack her own form.

=== Episode 75 ===
Before the episode's start, Echo seemingly ran into Hope and Voia on the streets. Feeling bad about it, Echo quickly picked up on their "hungry" nature through her natural intuition with people. She turned into one of them and ate a rock in front of them to cheer the kids up, which caused them to name her "Party Trick" and invite her to Hope's birthday party. She thought this was weird, but went along with it since she had nothing else to do and knew there'd be cake involved, and the kids themselves were very persistent about it.
Upon entering the scene, the other party members were surprised at Echo's shapeshifty nature at first but got over it surprisingly quickly, much faster than what Echo's used to. She also noticed that virtually everyone there was either a powerful epithet user, some kind of strange inhuman creature, or both. After Emrick gave Echo the old "DBA" entrance speech, she seemed intrigued about the tournament. Shortly after that, a Pinata with guns attacked the party, which the DBA contestants also all took as a fairly common occurrence. While this would drive most away, Echo became extremely excited and at the end of the episode asked if she could join in.
-
=== Episode 83 ===
Once again, Echo came to DBA to participate in a birthday party, arranged by Mr. Spider. She largely kept to herself, mostly talking to birthday boy and similarly powered alien Googol. She commented that it is both very weird and kind of personally concerning that Googol mentally becomes and believes he is the people he turns into, and really doesn't like it when she herself experiences that as Doppel Googol.
-
=== Episode 97 ===
Echo appeared briefly in the new Destruction Bar and Grill, or "D-Bag", already talking with Mr. Spider privately. She transformed into Blackberry when they met each other again, revealing to the party her shapeshifting powers while using Blackberry's ID to buy drinks. When asked about the location of Chad Chaddington, Echo revealed to the party that she knows him from around DBA, but whenever she's attempted to turn into Chad she's "booted out". They're apparently one of a select few people Echo's failed to turn into when she tried. She also said that Chad "rubbed her the wrong way" and didn't really know the guy personally.
Before Weylan left to the other room, he spoke to Echo believing that she was a part of some "secret green cloak cult". Echo became concerned for the rap-scallion's well being, that he may be hanging out with bad folks. She gave him a talk to not get involved with gang activity, even if it's super cool and everyone's doing it. Instead he should just deal drugs himself.
When the Raid Team: Shadow Legends entered the bar, Echo saw Vanta Akala and decided to transform into her.
-
=== Episode 99 ===
Echo appeared briefly at the DBA celebration party, talking with Dr. Marlow. We can assume it was about the events of Episode 100.
-
=== Episode 100 ===
Echo is mentioned frequently throughout the episode, with Dr. Marlow mentioning that he was warned of the inciting incident of the episode in advance. He also mentioned that she wanted to pass on a message to the party before the fight: "Get ready to fight, and remember to have fun. This’ll be a party to remember." An unnamed character briefly mentioned that she vaguely recalled the name "Echo" but didn't know anything about it. Echo also apparently got a large cargo jet ready with various invisible foods for the contestants to enjoy after the conflict.
At the end of the session, Echo reveals herself as she's holding down Every, who reveals that she set up the events of the episode. He briefly mentions if she "thinks she can do it" and calls her crazy. 
-
=== Episode 111 ===
Echo joined the party in investigating the curse of The Masque of Midnight Death party. Despite not really liking or trusting anyone at the party, she did want to be with DBA after a recent break. Going to the party as Vanta, she used her powers to blacken various parts of the building, as well as give blackened accessories to her teammates. This allowed her to have a wide range of visual and auditory sense for when the murder came around. She acts largely dismissive and avoidant to most of the guests.
After running into Vivian, Cadence ran away for some alone time in the building. Echo finds and comforts her, reassuring that she's with her in her goal to crush the mysterious M group responsible for Episode 107. She says that she has information on them but for various reasons can't say anything. However, she does divulge their name: Mercadia. They eventually meet back up with the party, where Echo stays clear of Violet's "bad vibe" canceling aura to keep her senses keen. She continues to blacken things throughout the mansion, such as a corner to the smoke room, a shirt in the closet, a crate in the attic, a sewing machine in the wine cellar, a book in the library, and a table in the auction room. This is not to mention the blackened accessories on all of the party members.
Once midnight struck, Echo flipped through her various blackened objects to view through trying to keep sight on everyone. She briefly sent Coaleia back to the bar to be safe, but shortly afterwards entered the hallway with Coaleia being freshly attacked. Virtually dead, she uses her blackened accessories to transform into Cheshire from across the map, and while Violet and Cayleth try and keep her alive she uses Doppel Googol's page to combine Morpheus and Teagan's powers to create a massive pulse, detecting that which is hidden. This marked locations in the hallway with a red light, which they tracked to another murder, and eventually into the cellar. They realized the killer was intangible, and something needed to be done to force their hand. They ended up discovering that Wren, a previously glossed over guest, was not on the guest list they found. Through the use of Violet's auras overlapping with Echo's, they managed to force the truth out of her.
As it turns out, Wren Contour is the mother of the killer, as well as Kayvia Vanderbelt and Zander Evergarden. Attempting to arrest her, she is teleported into the cellar by the killer, named X. Fed up with doing this every year, X has decided that she's not doing this curse thing for her mom anymore and her last favor to her will be disposing of the current party trying to arrest her. In the end Echo teleported to a pocket dimension with Cheshire and beat the shit out of Wren, before she was killed by the Vanderbelt Mom. After that, X lost her reason for fighting and decided to call the match a draw.
At the end, Echo pulled something out of her pocket and kicked it towards Violet.

=== Downtime 2 ===
While hanging at XoXo and Blackberry's engagement party for awhile, she was confronted by Vis about what she knows about Mercadia. Their conversation was rather tense, and it was clear that Vis wasn't entirely trusting of Echo. She was calmed by Cadence, who shared personal stories. This revealed the detail that if anyone would try and scope out Echo's face under her hood, it automatically flips over as she turns into another person. While Cadence was concerned, Echo reassured her that not having her own appearance wasn't important.
Shortly after, Inev approached Echo to talk about the knife. While she desired to hold onto it herself, she understood that it would be overstepping her bounds and trusted Inev to hold onto it, so long as he knew that it's something many people are after and that a target has been painted on his back. She also divulged that the knife only works on specific people, and if you don't the knife kills you when it pierces your heart instead of granting power. She also mentioned that she targeted Every because he was more scum of the earth, and that his current situation isn't important enough for people to worry about. She also suggested that Inev maybe talk to experts and do more formal research, such as finding a professional linguist to try and decipher the writing on the blade, or get a chemical test of the blade's composition.

The episode starts with Gervasio and Echo inviting the party to perform a mission to gather more information on Mercadia. Through Gervasio's contacts, a potential lead on Mercadia has finally surfaced through this strange meeting of ten doctors that happens every year in a secluded airship. One of the members of this secret meeting suspects that another member may be involved with Mercadia in some way.
When the party meets them, the two are a complete wreck having not slept for days, Echo driving the both of them to work overtime on top of overtime to get information. Gervasio remarks that they've somehow squeezed a year's worth of investigation into two months thanks to Echo's death march of a schedule. As such neither of them are fit to join the mission and instead act as ground control to offer assistance remotely.
== Trivia ==
* Echo is heavily inspired by the Skullgirls character Fukua, who was created as an April Fools joke making fun of the last Street Fighter IV DLC character that turned out to just be a clone of Cammy. Her moveset uses the same normals as the main character Filia, and her specials are mostly slightly altered versions in functionality of her base, with some added "clone powers".
* Echo is also inspired by Osamu Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs and The Master of Masters from Kingdom Hearts, and many more characters.
* Echo is named such as her kit allows her to be the "Echo Fighter" of other characters.
* Zanza has gone on record saying there are many of other people's characters he wish he could play, so Echo allows him to live that dream freely.
