I just wanted to say i'm very excited for this quest, has plenty of potential, and most importantly, is set up in a way that the readership can't strong arm you into making the story lame.
(A.K.A. turning it into a slice of life where we do nothing but fight Stormtiger and shop with Vicktoria and the Wards, you folks know the type..)

Well then, with that, the vote is closed.
[X] The gold vial. It seems to almost shine with power, but it behaves strangely. The air bubbles seem to be trapped at the bottom of the vial, unable to rise to the top.
This is the power that you have chosen.
You have gained Eden's Intensity Shard.
Treat it well, for it will give you everything you've ever wanted and more.
The official post saying what every other power is will come soon.

Now, as promised, what could have been.
[] The Neon vial. It constantly shifts colors, vibrant reds, shining blues, almost like it was pulsing with some sort of power.
This one, that most could guess, was a Blaster power. But not just any Blaster power.
The Blaster powers that would make this guy famous. That's right, this would have made you the Blaster of Blaster by giving you the "Coruscant Knave" shard. A shard whose function I have no freaking clue what it does because it was never explained from what I could find.
Given how it's a canon power, I'm not going to explain how this is basically "Shooting all of the lasers!" the power. So let's move on.
[] The clear vial. It's perfectly clear, with only a few air bubbles within it. However, the air bubbles are traveling in a circle up and down through the tube.
This vial would have given you the "Structure." Shard.
It would have made your mind a literal bunker against mental attacks, making you laugh at the powers of Stranger's and Master's. However, what you guys would have liked, would be the part of the power that allows you to fist fight Alexandria level brutes and have a really good chance of winning.
For you see, the main power that comes with this vial would have been Density Shifting. On one end, you go straight through attacks like you're nothing but air. On the other, your fist is the equivalent of a mountain slamming into someone's face. It wouldn't have given you flight however, so you would have to get Doored everywhere or have someone carry you places.
Originally, entities used this shard to give themselves forms that were helpful to the environment they arrived in.
[] The green vial. The color seems to go from light, to dark, to emerald, always changing into a more complete version of the color than the one before it.
This vial would have given the "Temporal" Shard. It would have allowed you to, with a single look, manipulate the perceptions of anyone you've met with a thought. This, would be your fridge horror/master power. You could change peoples emotions, actions, and make them see and feel things that weren't there.
Heartbreaker +1 in other words.
The hidden meaning being that perfection is in the eye of the beholder, and the color shifted to a closer version of Alex's perception of perfect, if you're curious/wondering how that tied in.
This shard allowed the entities to communicate, or in Eden's case, seduce the populace into believing whatever it said or did. Obviously, Scion's shard is not working too well.
[] The silver vial. It looks like liquid metal, but within, you see it shift. One second, there's an orb, the next, a square.
This vial would have given you the "Reconstruction" Shard. Once you realized you had powers, you would become the permir Tinker's alongside Hero.
What would have been your specialization?
Nanobots.
You would have been able to program nanobots to do... whatever the hell you wanted actually. Now before the Metal Gear memes get here, I'm moving on.
[] The blue vial. The liquid seems to swirl in it's own miniature whirlpool, spinning around and around with no stop.
This vial would have given you the "Traveler." Shard.
It would be the shard that the entities use to get around. Damaged, making some things harder than others, but you would have been able to get anywhere faster than anyone. You would have had control of forces like acceleration, to the point that you could keep yourself together no matter how fast you went. And you would have been able to teleport.
[] The red vial. It looks completely solid, as if it could remain the same and strong even after the end of the world.
This would have given you the "Stasis" Shard, allowing you to become the Brute of Brute's.
I'm pretty sure that everyone got this one.
You probably know the drill. Flight, superstrong, can't be hurt by anything unless they say "Fuck you." to the laws of physics.
Or something drowns you, but that would never happen.
[] The vial that's pitch black. There's nothing special about it, it's just completely black. But you feel almost… In awe of it for some reason.
Now this one, oh boy this one, this vial is the one that will get the most salt I feel. This vial contained the High Priest Shard, or the Control Shard. Or in other words,
Dwell on that, dwell on that fact.
Note: All of these vials have sub powers, but given how you won't be using them, I won't bother going into detail.
Now, you guys have the Intensity Shard. Take a guess what this entails while I get to work on that next chapter.
Except for @Takoe, for his memes have already unlocked the truth!

Intensity...
Limited reality manipulation that scales with X? Eden's version of Lung? Some sort of power burst that happens in intervals? Budget-Kyuubi? The ability to 'rise' above something?
Not enough data to make an educated guess, so I'm throwing what I come up with.

God damn it people. Couldn't you have all gone for the one vial that actually awed us??! SMH.
As for the Intensity shard...a blessed shard that starts off by giving us no powers but as the intensity of a conflict increases we start getting more and more abilities? Fighting a random punk might give us one power but fighting Scion will give us hundreds/thousands/millions/billions/ALL THE Powers. Clearly the bestest power we could have gotten.

@IKnowNothing, big fan of what you have so far. I was a really big fan of your Fire Emblem Dishonored Quest, so happy to see another interesting quest from you. So for the MC, I had some intersting future plans for how to take the character. Now, I am not trying to metagame too much, so I am not going to identify too many possible plot points I want to change, but wanted to lay out a general plan.
So, first off, I was thinking of being a relatively moral character. Like, I don't want to throw out pragmatism, but I am thinking that Cauldron could use more of a moral voice from time to time. Especially one that refuses that dumbass fuedalism experiment idea. (Personally, I think just studying political science would be a good enough indicator of how it would turn out, and if that isn't sufficient, using the boatload of thinkers the PRT has would be enough.) So we could serve a role of a general moral conscience. Not a White Knight who can't compromise, but a generally good guy trying to do good.
On that note, we could have him study political science in college, eventually getting his PhD by writing his thesis on fuedalism in a world of Capes, fully nipping that experiment in the bud. Eventually, his charisma + hard work + education + fame as a cape could lead him to become a politician. We could run for president at some point, either masked or unmasked. Be the young, dynamic, charismatic president like Obama was. That would be an interesting future plan. Well, of course if the QM permits us.
Edit: to be clear, I know that Legend was the moral conscience and he was left out. I was thinking we would try to avoid that as quest members. On hindsight that might not work. But I would rather have a white knight than a hard man making hard decisions while hard. So lets try to get into cauldron to be a moral voice.

I say we should try an form a "League of Villains" that could act as the villain equivalent of the Protectorate! That way Cauldron has another faction in which they hold influence, and can preform actions that the Triumvirate (+ Hero) otherwise couldn't.
(Although the Elite kind of serve as this to a degree, they're primarily white collar if i'm not mistaken, while we would act as more of a "Villains' R Us")

My personal hope is to study psychology and become a motivation speaker. Using his life as sort of examples of how really bad shit happens and things do get better. As one of the first heroes (probably) he could be one of the leading voices on how new triggers are treated and stuff.
Basically try to act and influence the world and capes in general that the statistics isn't skewed so it's like 4 villains for every hero or something.

Both of these are valid ideas. It's just what you guys vote to do that will decide it.
No matter what you chose, you will be a Shining Example.
And yes, I will work in the title that shamelessly.
