retrospec | TEXT ✍ participation is voluntary

Hello. In light of recent speculation, the publication of a comprehensive guide, and the one year anniversary of the Retrospec App's release, I'm putting a survey forward in regards to some of the personal affects of being a Retrospec user. You can see by my profile that I haven't been a user for very long myself, so the breadth of my knowledge has come from limited personal experience and the willingness of the user base to share. I'm asking for that again, if you're able to participate.

I'm hoping to find some sort of pattern in acquisition of memories and skills, whether by the nature of the skill and/or memory, the catalyst, the timeline, etc. Given the time consuming nature of personally reaching out to each member, I've provided a form below that you can fill out at your leisure. As stated in the disclaimer on the form, participation is voluntary and may be kept confidential if you prefer. I'll be compiling the data and making it available for the community in two weeks time, if a sufficient number of responses are received.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I appreciate your time.

[ Users will see the electronic form shown below available for submission. If your character wants the information to be private, just label it as private in the subject of your comment. I will actually be analyzing the data, so actual participation is awesome! If you indicate that your character is open for follow up questions, Akira would like to chat with you on this post. If you leave that public, it's free for all for anyone else lurking to jump in.

Thanks! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Name: Silver [Which is not the name that shows up on the network, but close enough.]
Retrospec Instillation: May
Would you be willing to answer follow up questions on your responses?: I don't see why not.

On average, how many would you say you have had a month?: 2-5? Some months are more, some are less.
Have you been able to track the catalyst for your memories: Sometimes.
- If "Yes" to above, about how long do these usually take to manifest?: Usually overnight, sometimes right away.
Do these memories have a consistent theme?: Yes
- If "Yes" to above, provide a few descriptives: Monster friends, fighting, modern fantasy bullshit
Do these memories match up with anyone else in Recolle?: There's a guy that remembers the same monster friends, but I don't know if any of our memories match up.

Have you experienced a change in your physiology or appearance since downloading the app?: Yes
- If "Yes" to above, have you experienced multiple changes?: No
Categorize the nature of your changes: Hair
- Provide more detail/specifics if you'd like: I look like I got adopted by a family of tomatoes.

Have you spontaneously gained any new abilities/specialties that you did not have before or would be otherwise impossible to learn/acquire?: Yes
- If "Yes" to above, have you gained multiple abilities?: Yes
Categorize the nature of your abilities: Hardcore parkour, the monster friends
- Provide more detail/specifics if you'd like: It's sort of weird categorizing them as abilities, but I'm the proud owner of a dragon that looks like a seahorse, a fish that looks like a dragon, a weasel that looks like a cat, and an alligator that looks like a crocodile. They can be stored in little balls and have their own elemental abilities. [Which is accompanied by a short phone video for posterity.]

Monster friends instead of monster fighting? That's a little break in most of the themes here. Are these monsters that you befriended or are they creatures that you summon?
