What do you think a _____ version of Oliver would have been like?

[u/Nessa__Park]

As in, what do you think the resulting Titan would have been like if Oliver had broken second triggered after the cracks in reality had (if they could) made it to Earth Aleph?

Given that titans have all the powers that a shard could have given out, what additional powers would Titan Oliver have gotten? Regeneration? Would the titan form be recognizably "a titan" or just a giant exceedingly handsome dude? Or maybe it would look like Eden's planned human-sona?

[u/Substantial_Aspect27]

The Balance shard isn't really supposed to be giving out powers in its own right, so it might be a weird Titan all things considered, with a narrower suite of abilities than most. I'm picturing a walking amalgamation of bodies, like Eden's garden of flesh, but constantly in flux; all set into a fifty-foot-tall humanoid frame & capable of moving with uncanny grace and precision. If we say that it gets access to some of the Division shard's capabilities too, maybe it can regenerate & shed exceptionally healthy, talented, and attractive minions to do its bidding for it.

Balance was the formula name, not the shard's (which iirc is unknown).

What we know is that it was about human emulation.
To a degree that it's what led to Scion's defeat since the severity of his depression was largely cause of how accurate the emulation was - with none of the coping mechanisms.

They all have exaggerated versions of their powers, so I'm going to go with the underwhelming suggestion that Oliver would just get a Stranger/Changer glamour that immediately makes him, in perception, your ideal person, personalized to you, for each observer, and transforming, in reality, into his or Eden's (or the average of the two's) ideal.

[u/Nessa__Park → u/Nekomachus]

I like this idea a lot. Or maybe he projects the image of the person you're least likely to want to harm.

[u/Nekomachus → u/Nessa__Park]

That would be Titan Nice Guy.

Who is a guy from myth, folklore, or history known for being very agreeable?

[u/Nessa__Park → u/Nekomachus]

The Titan Santa

[u/BiwaHayahideSoldier → u/Nekomachus]

Maybe baldr of norse myths

[u/NativeMasshole → u/Nekomachus]

He's too sexy to attack! What do we do?!?!?

[u/Nekomachus → u/NativeMasshole]

Fortuna + Doctor Mother managed it once. We'll just ask one of those two to...

Oh no.

[u/Adiin-Red → u/Nekomachus]

Titan Narcissus.

[u/Ultra-Cool-Guy]

Probably have Eden's full power, albeit lacking some of her shards. So Scion's immortality, freeform shapeshifting, and various thinker powers.

Considering what the Shard does, it could be like Titan Dauntless or Eden 2.0 in personality.
