Editing Eden (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Eden has similar abilities as [[The Warrior]] due to "multiple parallels" in their bodies and intelligence. Eden has the exact same Shards as the Warrior, though they were used differently.<ref name="Reddit eHero">Eden was the scholar, Scion the soldier. They had the same tools, but emphasized different ones. So picture Eden taking the primary tools that Scion had and giving them to a tinker so the human could use human ingenuity to explore those tools. Naturally it would be paced out by needing to design and tinker and find materials, using those materials in a sorta kludgy way (ie. have to carry the items, pull triggers, type stuff in), and would have some limitations she tacked on. Except she broke down before she could tailor the restriction part, leading to a vial giving some Scion Lite tools to an otherwise unrestricted tinker, who then joined/helped form an organization that gave him endless materials. That's Hero. - [https://redd.it/3gs5if Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> A key difference was that Eden was also '''The Thinker'''. It was largely her role to understand, emulate and manipulate the lives of the Humans on the multiple versions of planet [[Earths|Earth]]. She made use of simulations of the future to set and investigate criteria in order to achieve the goals of the [[Cycle]].<ref name="I29 1">It can use its strengths, the Warrior's strengths, and the host's natures to explore new ideas and tactics for approaching the endpoint.<br><br>Already, this entity is forming a model, a simulacrum of the host species, mapping out how things might unfold. While the Warrior is preparing to shed its shards and litter the world, this entity is plotting a strategic approach.<br><br>It cannot make out what form it or the other entity will take, but it can still view the situation in part. It sets the criteria for an optimal future, for optimal study, and then it looks to a future that matches this criteria. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref> Part of her ability to simulate the future was given away.<ref name="29.x eOptimalDeploy">An optimal future. It is an unwieldy future because it gave up a part of its ability to see the future to the other being. There are holes, because this entity does not fully understand the details of what happened, and because this entity's future-sight power is damaged. Above all else, it is an incomplete future because this entity has only the most minimal role in things, and the shards it saw were all the Warrior's.<br><br>The fact that it did not is a part of that future. This entity will arrive at the destination, and it will deploy shards to complicate a situation and break stalemates. Losing sides will be granted reinforcements through maturing shards. A different sort of engagement, a different way of testing the shards. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref>
