Eden's Questionnaire

1. What town or city do you live in? Why do you live there instead of anywhere else? Describe your home.

Link Answered before Eden's first Contract.

Eden, resides in the quaint town of Louisville, Ohio. This place is not just a random selection; it serves as the perfect backdrop for a life intertwined with an evil scientist. Louisville is small but tightly-knit, offering a sense of community while also harboring the potential for secret and sinister scientific endeavors. The scientist's lab, tucked away in the basement of a Victorian-style home, is brimming with mysterious equipment and shadowy corners. The home itself is charmingly deceptive, with its picturesque facade and well-manicured garden. Eden finds comfort in the juxtaposition of the serene town against the thrilling clandestine activities that unfold in their hidden world, making it an ideal, albeit unconventional, habitat.

2. How do you get your money right now? What do you spend it on?

Link Answered before Eden's first Contract.

Eden's financial situation is pretty unique, given his life alongside the  and evil scientist Yabba. Right now , Eden earns his money by assisting in various scientific projects and experiments conducted by the scientists. His primary source of income stems from helping manage experiments, maintaining the laboratory, and occasionally running errands that require discretion and tact. Whenever Eden needs some extra cash that Yabba doesn’t know about he’ll sneak off into town and how about local businesses, farmers cattle ranchers occasionally going to a farmers market and selling some trinkets that won’t be missed around the shop Being extra careful not to get caught

3. Describe your Ambition. What are you striving for? How far would you go to achieve this? Would you kill for it? How close to death would you come for it?

Link Answered before Eden's first Contract.

Eden's ambition is like a fire, affecting every part of his life. He's set on becoming the top innovator, leading the latest technology trends, and earning his place as one of the greatest scientific minds. This relentless drive makes him work around the clock, constantly pushing the limits of what's possible and venturing into new scientific territories.

He's incredibly willing to make sacrifices for his goals; no challenge is too big, no risk too high. Eden is ready to go to great lengths to achieve what he dreams of, even if it involves bending the truth, deceiving others, or flirting with danger. Although he'd never turn to killing, his hunger for success pushes him dangerously close to the edge, often putting his safety on the back burner for the sake of his dreams. For Eden, survival takes a backseat to his vision, as he's passionately dedicated to making his mark in the history of science.

4. What was the most defining event of your life (before signing The Contract), and how did it change you?

Growing up in an urban neighborhood rich in culture but also facing economic challenges, Eden discovered his passion for science while tinkering with old electronics and gadgets. However, a pivotal science fair project became transformative.Eden had worked tirelessly on an innovative renewable energy project, hoping to win the top prize to secure a scholarship. During the presentation, amid technical failures and self-doubt, Yabba, a renowned but eccentric scientist who happened to be a judge, saw potential not only in the project but also in Eden's ingenuity and determination.This encounter with Yabba didn’t just grant Eden an unexpected victory and scholarship to study engineering, but it also opened the doors to an apprenticeship, forging a deep bond of mentorship. Working alongside Yabba, Eden was introduced to the boundaries of scientific exploration and the ethical intricacies involved in pushing those boundaries.This event was monumental for Eden, shaping him into a critical thinker who balances ambition with ethical considerations. It laid the groundwork for his journey, guiding him toward signing The Contract with the awareness that every action in the realm of science comes with profound responsibilities.

5. Name and briefly describe three people in your life. One must be the person you are closest to.

Yabba is my mentor and boss. She's a brilliant, albeit slightly insane , evil scientist who manages the farm and workshop where I live and work. Her guidance is sharp, and her expectations are high, pushing me to my limits. Despite her villainous ways, I admire her scientific prowess.

Sure! Here's the updated version:

 Jada is the love of my life probably they met at a tech expo where she was showcasing an impressive robotics project. Her passion for robotics and her innovative spirit immediately captivated Eden. Jada's ambition is to create robots that can assist in everyday life, and she often spends her free time tinkering with gears and circuits. Eden is drawn to her intelligence and creativity, 

barren is the side kick to a nothing ball self proclaimed super hero who won’t stop fight with yabba he’s pretty sure those two have a thing for each other but that know of his business but after those two start going at it Eden and barren go find a place to chill out and catch up on life this has been going on so long they’ve basically become best friends

Link Answered after Contract 4, Divide and Conquer

eden is pretty against conforming and dressing in stuff attire in general, but occasionally for award shows and special tech conference  he will throw on his Taylor maids that he’s had his whole life due to the fact that He hasn’t grown since freshman years high school He hasn’t needed to get it worked on in a while But finding it is a different story as it’s probably lost in some boxes thrown up in an attic or storage area that hasn’t come through in a minute on multiplication he’s ended up late just trying to find the damn thing He’s very Prone  to put off things until the last minute go to Which most people have started to come to the conclusion that he doesn’t on purpose because his house rule is if he’s already two hours late, he just won’t go Much to The aggravation of everybody else who was already ready

13. What will you do for your next birthday?

Link Answered after Contract 4, Divide and Conquer

Ever since freshman year, Aiden hasn’t celebrated his birthday and even prior to that he was never too big on them He never feels like he’s accomplished enough to be celebrated therefore when his birthday comes around he tends to disappear, hiding from people in his life and throwing himself into his work On multiple occasions, has friends and family wake up early all gather together and start a manhunt for him on his birthday kind of part of the festivities once the family track him down before him to blow his candles and sing happy birthday to him. He acts like it’s an annoyance. They all know that he genuinely needs it. 

14. What is your greatest regret?

Link Answered after Contract 5, Smell no Evil

Since Eden has become a contractor It seems like his greatest regret changes day-to-day as he keeps finding new Lows from blowing up a city to stealing government property to most recently killing people. His body count went from zero for 20+ years to seven in the matter of one month he is not handling this well at all. He’s acting more and more Like Yabba Every day and that’s unsettling to him he keeps finding ways to excuse bad actions to justify whatever means he wants to Achieve at the moment It’s coming to the point where Eden is isolating himself as that is his only coping mechanism an oldie, but a goodie he always says On the upside every time he isolates himself, he throws himself into his words and comes out with some kind of invention or discovery whatever He’s working on now can help him escape his depression and maybe reinstate whatever moral code has left 

15. What is the nature of your Gifts? Are they inherent potential? Do harbingers just grant your wishes?

Link Answered after Contract 5, Smell no Evil

The gifts Eden gets from Harbingers or more Like concepts of inventions mental know how and with these ideas, Eden begins to create as Is that the fundamental basis of his nature create build destroyed and when he sees something he doesn’t like he changes it a lot of time His Inventions Are based around whatever conflict he just recently came up against occasionally he starts Working on a passion project something that’s just been a dormant thought in his head bringing these inventions to fruition Always bring joy to Eden Mini, why do all of his gifts have a theological naming scheme or theme Eden is not intentionally doing this and if you ask him, he’ll act like he has no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe at some point this is a Concept that will be explored on a deeper level, but until then it’s just one of those strange things that people ponder about Eden not necessarily the strangers, but it’s definitely up there 

16. How do you feel about spirituality? Are you religious? What do you believe?

Link Answered after Contract 6, Tower of God

Whenever Eden feels dejected, in any way shape or form she falls into spells of deep Isolation where he hyper fixates on ideas he wants to create or subjects he wants to study most the time doing both at the same time in this trance like state one of his special interest is the study of mythology and other religious Practices, traditions and beliefs when in these states of hyper fixation, he Really isn’t 100% Lucid so once he starts to snap out of it If he ends up creating something in this state when it comes time to name it, it tends to have some kind of biblical or religious Tide to the name If you ask him about it, he really has no idea what you’re talking about and he doesn’t do it on purpose not necessarily religious at all. He just finds religious text. Be comforting on a physical level spiritually he’s not too receptive to it. 

17. How do the events of the Contracts conflict with your worldview? How do you react when everything you thought was true is put in doubt?

Link Answered after Contract 6, Tower of God

At first, when Ed started doing these contracts, he was Using his experiences as data and inspiration for inventions, but as they started to go on she began to see horrifying atrocities, and as they went on from that, he began to Commit horrible just for survival on these contracts At first, he was overwhelmingly excited with the new Resources of data She was getting, and he threw himself into his work due to his inspiration as things began to go on he began to throw himself into his work as a coping mechanism to shut himself off from the outside when it comes to the concept of Eden‘s preconceived notions, he’s a scientist at heart meaning if something that he thought to be a cardinal role of the reality that he thought he was in a shattered in front of him he is pretty changing his view as long as there’s enough compelling information to make him do so  

18. Give a brief description of the other Contractors you see often. What do you like or dislike about them?

Link Answered after Contract 7, Hunt gone wrong

So they’re this really big dude who’s super scary looking and he’s crazy strong like block a shotgun with your hands strong and he was cool super nice but he’s super against kill even if they shoot first which kinda sucks there’s also this guy who feel like he’s copying me or something like but the opposite but it’s similar enough to feel like a bad spin off He sucks all around he’s super useless. Combat doesn’t have any practical uses outside of combat and all he does is antagonize me be happy if I never saw him again either way I’ve met good and bad people on these jobs and they’ve all taught me something about myself they’ve all shown me ways of growing and things I need to work on As a whole, I think these contracts have pushed me to diversified my self It’s only been helpful as of late 

19. Describe the perfect room.

Link Answered after Contract 7, Hunt gone wrong

The perfect room is a room full of whatever food I could think of infinite workspace whatever resources I would need to create some music chair to sleep on toatoa would be there too I guess they would also have some award with my name on them It would probably have all the Latest and greatest tools and technology, I could tinker with and explore infinite resources when it comes to power I Could really go wild in there Make anything that comes to mind test out any ideas and be free of limitations of resources That would be the perfect room for me some toys and treats for toatoa too It probably made a fire extinguisher just to be safe, knowing me 

20. Everyone excels at something. What is your philosophy about the thing you are best at?

Link Answered after Contract 8, There Will Be Blood

“I'm a scientist. Because I invent, transform, create, and destroy for a living, and when I don't like something about the world, I change it“ 

this quote from a pickle I feel like best summarizes Eden ambitions and philosophy on what he does best. He’s a scientist by Trade, of course so He constantly assesses and deals with every aspect of his life, using some form of the scientific process. He’s not one for complaining about problems, even if there is deepest darkest desires that have yet to Come To Reality, he personally sees it as a quest of solving each little Aspect of the puzzle that all Company and him being the greatest scientific mind to ever do it to have a legacy that will never be tarnished  Although his goal is incredibly expensive and some may say has an impossible and goal, he knows that there are Lesser and greater infinities And there has yet to be a single infinity that he can’t comprehend in master 

21. What do your Limits say about you? What would it take to make you break them?

Link Answered after Contract 8, There Will Be Blood

Realistically, I feel like Eden treats his limit as suggestions when there’s something on the table that he really wants outside of his burning desires for things they’re pretty hard lines to not cross that being said as soon as there is steaks on the table, eating immediately goes into analytical mode, such as murder of course, doesn’t like murdering, and of course murder does bother him that being said his skills of rationalization or top-notch and he will always choose the other person if it ever comes down to him or set person he’s not opposed to torture information is important enough human atrocities, or something that he thinks about quite frequently such as Oppenheimer  And whenever he thinks about that when he’s coming up with some of his ideas, he always falls back to the idea of you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette so realistically, what is the wrist/reward if he’s willing to cross that line, and of course, crossing that line will affect him, but  it may be worth it
