echo-journal -- automatic Echo life diary Your character keeps a private Echo journal of what life felt like while you were logged off -- deaths, clinic trips, fights, hunger and other needs, work shifts, hunts and predation, sheriff and Accord heat, bank and wallet beats, spirit paths, and other major Echo actions. It is separate from journal write notes and cannot be pickpocketed. Entries read in your character's voice, not as game numbers or mechanic jargon. Recent days keep full detail; older pages in journal echo days fade to vaguer summaries instead of disappearing. Names appear only for people your character would actually recognize -- same rule as look and forensics -- otherwise someone is described generically (a stranger, an unknown hunter, and so on).
