Editing Bohu (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Like all Endbringers, Bohu is extremely durable and can regenerate quickly thanks to her [[Endbringers#Physiology|Endbringer physiology]].<ref name=":5" /> As mentioned above, she can alter her size<ref name=":3" /> by absorbing the surrounding terrain. It takes time to spread her [[Endbringer]] qualities to the absorbed material.<ref name=":5" />

Bohu's primary power is large-scale manipulation of the surrounding terrain and architecture; this power's effective radius spreads over time as long as she remains stationary.<ref name=":5" /><ref>Bohu is a macro scale space warper with an eye for design and the ability to control more space as she remains stationary. - [https://redd.it/2sju2u Wildbow on Reddit]</ref><ref>They'd figured out how to fight Tohu and Bohu during the Los Angeles attack.  The trick was responding quickly, stopping them before Tohu had her masks and Bohu managed her influence.  They'd <em>won</em>, for lack of a better term, managing the fight without the casualties they'd seen in the prior attack, but they'd still lost a chunk of the city in the time it took them to beat and batter the towering Bohu into submission. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/interlude-26b/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26a]]</ref><ref>Another counter to Scion.  All too often, he was late to arrive, and once Tohu had chosen three faces and Bohu had claimed the battlefield, well, the fight was more or less over. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref><ref name=":4" />  She was unable to affect material [[Annex]] was merged into and affecting.<ref>"''Good news''," Annex said, over our comm system.  "''She can't affect what I'm affecting.  Bad news is I wasn't entirely submerged.  I'm bleeding pretty badly.''" - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref> Her manipulation of the environment usually follows a strict pattern:
# The surrounding city is "condensed" in twenty-four minute intervals,<ref name=":0">"''The Endbringer Bohu appears to follow a strict pattern.  The city is condensed in twenty-four minute intervals, followed almost immediately by the miniature Endbringers producing barriers, walls, pillars, blocking apertures and more.  The next phase, occurring gradually over the next ten minutes, will produce deadfalls, pitfalls and a smoothing of terrain features.  Following that, we should expect more complex mechanical traps to appear, after which point the cycle will start anew.  Be advised that she attacks with the spikes as she enters each phase.  Disparities in reports suggest that she is feinting in some cases, feigning an inability to do so.''" - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref> as a fast-moving wave of her power narrows doors, windows and streets.<ref>"Heads up!" the ''me'' behind the camera called out.<br/><br/>"''For what!?''" it was Annex responding, breathless.  "''Oh!  Oh shit!''"<br/><br/>It was only a second later that it became clear just why Annex was swearing.  The city ''shifted''.  Roads narrowed, doors splintered and were virtually ''spat'' out of the frames as the door frames themselves narrowed.<br/><br/>The image on the camera veered.  I'd seen the shift coming, and the bugs on the faces of the buildings let me know that the attack was coming a fraction of a second in advance.  As buildings on either side of me lunged closer together by a scale of five or six feet each, spikes sprung from the elaborate architecture, from gargoyle's mouths at either side of a short flight of stairs, from the sign that bore a store's name, a blade rising from a manhole cover… ten or twelve spikes, for me alone, each fifteen or twenty feet long.  They criss-crossed, came from every direction. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref><ref name=":5" />
# Immediately after the first phase, a swarm of human-scale, fast-moving versions of Bohu manifest out of materials from the surrounding environment, moving with extreme speed as they construct barriers, walls, pillars, blocking apertures, and more.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":6">I took two steps forward, and then threw myself to the ground as a figure sprung from the wall, a woman, moving so fast she could barely be glimpsed.  The camera veered again as I rolled on the ground, avoiding two blades that plunged from the underside of her ‘body' to the ground, punching into the earth.<br/><br/>She had carried forward, uncaring that I'd dodged, slamming into another wall, and she had left a piece of herself in her wake.  Or a piece of what she'd made herself out of, anyways.  She'd <em>become</em> the city, and this small fraction of herself had been formed out of the light gray brick that formed the building to my right.  She'd left the pillar behind, three feet across, barring my path.<br/><br/>My head whipped around as I followed her progress.  One more of the rushing figures appeared a block down, two more behind me, simultaneous.  A pillar, then a short wall and another pillar, respectively. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref><ref name=":6" />
# The next phase, occurring gradually over the next ten minutes, produces deadfalls, pitfalls and "smoothing" of terrain features.<ref name=":0" /> This phase slowly, painfully crushes and/or suffocates anyone who had been trapped in either of the previous two phases.<ref>It was just now starting her third phase, the pitfalls and deadfalls, eliminating cover, cleaning up rubble, and slowly, painfully crushing anyone who had been trapped in either of the previous two phases.  If crushing wasn't possible, she would apparently settle for suffocation. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref>
# Following that, more complex mechanical traps appear, after which the cycle repeats.<ref name=":0" />
Between each of these phases, Bohu will generate spikes that spring out from architectural features.<ref name=":0" /><ref>As buildings on either side of me lunged closer together by a scale of five or six feet each, spikes sprung from the elaborate architecture, from gargoyle's mouths at either side of a short flight of stairs, from the sign that bore a store's name, a blade rising from a manhole cover… ten or twelve spikes, for me alone, each fifteen or twenty feet long.  They criss-crossed, came from every direction. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref> Her spikes are sharp and fast enough to pierce [[Weaver]]'s reinforced spider-silk armour.<ref>Blades and prongs surrounded me, poised ready to prick and gouge like the thorns of a rosebush, all around me.  My fingers rose to the camera's view, wet with blood.<br/><br/>I'd only dodged as much as I had by virtue of the ability to sense where the bugs that clung to the blades were moving, and enough luck to be able to move into a space that escaped the various thrusts.  The blood had been from a glancing blow, along the underside of my right breast.  I traced it now, as I sat in front of the monitor, feeling the spot over where the scar would be.  The fucking things were sharp enough to pierce my armor and silk both. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref> She sometimes feigns an inability to use her spikes.<ref name=":0" />

During [[Gold Morning]], she displayed the ability to reshape defenses to protect her allies.<ref>Things weren't much different from before.  The defense took a different form, they had Bohu and Tohu with them, and they were reshaping defenses to buy the defenders a little slack.  - [[Venom 29.9]]</ref>

Bohu appears to perceive the world by sensing tremors.<ref name="28.I">She communicates when she can with the others.  A current of water in a particular set of wavelengths, to her brother who sees the world as water – living things as balloons of meat largely made up of water, moisture in the air, moisture running over every available surface as he uses his abilities to move clouds and fog into place.<br>[...]<br>More communications, to get the point across.<br><br>The younger sister needs only a tremor, the very same wavelength their oldest living brother received.  She responds in kind.<br><br>The youngest sister needs only an expression of ''any'' power.  By the time the others are alerted, the youngest is prepared. - [[Interlude 28]]</ref> Like other [[Endbringers]], Bohu cannot be predicted easily with the typical [[Thinker]] danger sense<ref name="II9.12 e1">“Could it be an Endbringer?” Rain asked.<br><br>“Jesus,” Byron said.  “Don’t even joke.  They’ve been dormant.”<br><br>“They can’t be predicted easily with danger sense either,” I said. - [[Gleaming 9.12]]</ref> and is also a blind spot to the typical [[precognitive|precognition]],<ref name="II11.4">It wasn’t Jeanne who answered.  Cinereal gave me my reply.  “Thinkers say no.  They’re either drawing blanks or they don’t like what they see.”<br/><br/>“Nothing specific?  No details?”<br/><br/>“No,” Cinereal said.  “But if you look at some of the other major thinker blind spots, you’re going to find yourself running into topics like Eidolon, Sleeper, the Endbringers, Valkyrie, the Island-state, the Pastor incident…”<br/><br/>“Concentrations of power,” I said.<br/><br/>Jeanne shook her head.  “''Complexity'' of power, most often.  Whatever thinker powers come into play, with these cases, there’s often too many variables to fully consider, thinkers report that their powers are fuzzy, inconsistent, or blacked out.” - [[Blinding 11.4]]</ref> including [[Contessa]].<ref name="24.2">“Right, that wasn’t my second question.  What I want to know is why the hell you haven’t used a power like yours to figure out how to beat the Endbringers.”<br/><br/>“My power is a form of precognition,” she said.  “Unlike most such powers, other precognitive abilities do not confuse it.  That said, there are certain individuals it does not work against, the Endbringers included.”<br/><br/>“Why?” Tecton asked.<br/><br/>“No way to know for sure,” she said, “But we have theories.  The first is that they have a built-in immunity, something their origins granted them.” - [[Crushed 24.2]]</ref>
