[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 1503912, member: 5675"] I've got a couple of options for you. First, make it all about the odds. When copy Prime dies, there might be 200 echoes waiting to take over. The more echoes you can butcher off, the higher the chance of your being the replacement. Bendris Noulg's ripples is a much better idea, though. Combine it with a touch of "Quickening", and more than a little 7 deadly sins, and you have the makings of a glorious planar adventure, as (for instance) the echo of the Prime's pride kills (and takes over) gluttony, hatred, paranoia, etc, becoming more powerful, and more of a 'whole' than before. Making each emotion a pocket dimension would be the root for a wonderful romp. Finally, the biggy. Immortality. If the echoes can replace the Prime when the prime is killed, and there are a finite number of echoes, what happens if you kill off [I]every[/I] other echo, and then kill the Prime? You have no soul replacements, and therefore (as nature abhors a vacuum) [I]cannot die[/I]. If I were writing this, it would all hinge on some villain somewhere plugging up a nebulous 'Font of Souls' or something, meaning that new echoes (or souls) weren't created every time an existing one was killed...
