Too many? In a sense yes, but with fans, new concept ideas are always popping up. Like Fem!Cry, Trapland, Demon!Cry which actually many of the LNC don't like really. Not sure about Cry himself but Red mentioned that Demon!Cry was a little too... dark. And there's many others. These are the so far 3 I have more interest in. And Anti-Virus!Cry, he's pretty recent too, but pretty good Counter balance to Virus and he kinda has to compete with Anti-Virus Pewdz when it comes to both Virus and Cry.
The others, Fem!, Trapland, Demon and others I really don't touch base on since they really don't have much interest to me or disturb a majority of the LNC. But in a logical sense, yeah it is too many, but its just concept, there's hardly anything of Echo other than just artwork. I'm just putting these idea to get an idea what they are to me as well as document important details that I don't want to forget about each one. Echo's is because he's just very strange and yet interesting enough to get my attention. :3 Plus the concept to me is a way of people being aware of too much pressure on Cry. Fans need to leave him be to who he wants to be. The more we try to push our ideas and voices at him to be what we 'want' him to be, the less the Cry we love is there.
Thus Echo is just the echo of everyone else but Cry.
But my guess for so many Crys... is the fact certain ones are taken to heart by other and some are ignored. Like flavors of ice cream, everyone's got their favorite flavors and second and third. Usually people have the top 5 favorites. Some more and some less, but there's tons of flavors to choose from, yeah? So the Crys are like flavors. XD; I guess if it makes sense.

lol I'm not trying to make you feel bad, just pointing out a possible reason as to why there's so many concepts of one guy. xD That's just my guess of why, not sure of everyone else. :3

No, no it's ok, I just sometimes forget that they are just fruits of somebody's brilliant immagination and not real.................. (or are they?..... )

This is great! I love your take on Echo!Cry and how you depicted him!
The whole idea reminds me of Hivemind or TPP, and I'm really interested in seeing Echo!Cry's reaction and behavior around Cry, Mad and Virus.
I'm also interested in the three's take on Echo!Cry!^^

I see! It's amazing how you came up with all this just from listening to music and staring at pics^^
Really?! That'd be epic! XD I'll be looking forward to it then! ^o^/

Yeah, its kinda easy for me, not all the time but some times it is. I tend to people watch a lot, I'm not very trusting to very many people especially when seeing them physically. I tend to watch people and see from how they act and speak or move to determine if they're friendly and approach them or stay away from them if they feel... off. Even if its just sweet smiles and friendly words, the second I feel something off about them, I will avoid. Doesn't always work but its enough to let me get an idea of people.
I kinda apply that with characters in art, I look at the scenery and them to get the idea of how they are. People tend to make characters' background reflect the personality or the mentality of the character. Not everyone is aware of this, most tend to get an idea of the background after or before the character is done because its either cool or pretty. But it does have a link at times to the character itself. Not all the time its applied but it does a lot. lol Anyway, when I get an idea of their mood, I find music for it and see if it matches, sometimes it doesn't so I try various other music to see if it fits them in my head. Then listen to it as I study the character, the pose, expression, the way its drawn... all that when I get the basic idea I build off of that, start asking my questions to myself. Why are they like this? Why are they dressed this way? What motive do they have? Like that. And boom. Headcanons explosions. XD Its the gist of how I do things. Everyone's ways are different, but music and asking questions help a lot.
I'll try to see what I can come up with. Trying to fit all Echo's mood swings is going to be a little hard though. Even I'm not sure what he'll do. XD

*reads your massive wall of text* THAT'S AMAZING!
I people watch too, but not to that extent. I base decisions and reactions by relying more on intuition, rather than extensively/focusing on studying the person his/herself. Every time my intuition says NO, then that's my cue to step back and hiss at the person if they ever try to come near me. My intuition's 100% accurate when it comes to people.. I'm weird like that!
You're right! Most of the time, the pictures I fall in love with has a background that fits the character perfectly! The setting, the mood, the place itself, the character's pose...it tells a story! Although when it comes to me, my brain separates art from music. When i see an artwork, then I get a story plot or a whole new world setting. If I listen to music, I see something akin to an opening song or a song-scene you can find in animes and fan-made AMVs or fan-made opening/ending songs. Questions don't agree with me for some reason, hahahaha. I find it easier to ask less and see more.
Everyone is different indeed.
Thank you so much! Not many artists would go to such lengths just because of a comment made by a watcher. You, my good artist, deserves an oscar!

It's true that discussing a character and analysing them is better when with many people. I find it fun to discuss my characters with my friends and random people on the internet because, well, as you had said, everyone has different takes on the character. No two minds are completely alike and I find it interesting to hear other people's opinions. Discussing is also useful for when I'm stuck on a story plot or am out of ideas.^^
I agree with you there. If I do something, I have to find it fun or interesting, or I'll get bored and discontinue working on that thing. Ehehehehe.. XD

The first time I've heard of him was from tunaniverse. Echo is definitely an interesting new character. He's so... mysterious. @_@

I know right? all of this was just based on the artwork based on him. His stance and the way he just stared out was like indication he wasn't stable, not just by body but his mind wasn't stable. Not Mad insane but so many thoughts and voices ringing in his head that he's being pulled in all directions and has mood swings that come and go in minutes. So he's very wild and unpredictable since no one knows which mood he'll be in at any second.

Really interesting take on Echo! I'm really glad someone explore his character more and I enjoy how you write him out this way. Great job!

Thanks, the concept idea is really interesting and kinda takes a spin to be more creative in how he works and thinks.
To me since he is a collection of voices and ideas, his thoughts are too really not his, just a jumbled mess of his own and what fans' thoughts are, so Echo being constantly confused and angry is due to him not really knowing what to do with any of the three. Kinda like being in the middle of an all-out fan tug-o-war and pulled at from all sides. Hence his mood swings that shift back and forth. Like a colorful pinwheel, you know it has like at max four colors on it. Each a different and stand out but when you blow on it, the colors blur and mix into one that looks like a chaotic mess. His mood swings are dictated by the fans' thoughts and feelings aside his own that's lost in the jumble; whichever is dominate at the time is the mood he's in but it can change just as fast. He's both eager to get to Cry and yet shy, thus paces as he tries to figure out what to do. Kinda creepy to imagine Echo completely focused on you and just paces back and forth, never looking away from you. e.o Scary.
The way his stance is and the mask and then other fanarts of him without the mask on, I thought it all up from studying those art pieces since there's really little to no information on him and I've yet to see any fanfics with Echo, so it was guesswork based on the drawings. ^^
Still, thank you for enjoying it.

Aww, thank you! :3 He was kinda fun to write. I'm working on Mad's, just now stuck of how he came to be. As I don't know how to explain it.

How about Mad is Cry's murderous desires and Cry was able to block it to the point that it didn't bother him anymore. And those desires came together and became an entity that wants nothing more than to kill and torture people, and the first person it wanted to torture was Cry. Then later, wanting to have full control over his body.

True, but then it really wouldn't tie very much to his psychotic nature and I kinda see him as being chaotic playful. x.x Damn you Mad!
