Editing Hoyden (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Hoyden was a cape with multiple powers. As a [[striker]], anything she hits will explode, while an attacker would also suffer a retaliatory explosion should she be hit. This is in combination with a resistance to damage from other powers, one that becomes better the further the distance from her target. Combined with basic strength and durability increases, classifies her as a [[brute]].<ref name="23.1 e1">Hoyden was one of the capes with a mess of powers. Things she hit exploded, things that hit her suffered a retaliatory explosion. She was stronger, more durable, and to top it all off, she had a peculiar resistance to damage and powers that improved as she got further from her target. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25 Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> This let her survive things like falls from great heights;<ref name=I26ae1/> indirect force could still affect her though.<ref>Defiant used a grappling hook from his glove to try to catch Hoyden, only for it to fly off in another blast of flame.<br/><br/>He tried again, but this time, he whipped the chain, so the length of it wound around her, then yanked her inside. He signaled, and the forcefield went on. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/03 Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.6]]</ref>

Combined, these powers allowed her to take lightning strikes from [[Behemoth]]<ref name="24.3 e1">I waited and watched as Behemoth engaged the other capes, tracking what powers he was using and when. He was presently staggering forward when he could, otherwise holding his ground, deflecting and redirecting attacks. When he was free to do so, he reached out with his claws, and lightning lanced out to tear through the assembled capes.<br/><br/>Golem, to his credit, was going all out. Hands of stone and metal rose from the ground to shield defending capes and balk Behemoth’s progress. I could make out Hoyden, leader or second in command of the Austin Wards. She wasn’t on the front lines, but was defending the mid-line capes. It made sense with how her power worked, as her defensive powers provided more cover from attacks at greater ranges. She threw herself in the way of lightning bolts and stood between Behemoth and the wounded. When lightning struck her, detonations ripped out from the point of impact, seeming almost to short out the currents. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/crushed-24-3/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.3]]</ref> and fight hand-to-hand with [[Scion]].<ref name="30.5 e1"/> She also has some resistance to mind effecting powers.<ref name="23.1e3">The other man raised a hand at Hoyden, and she stopped in her tracks. He almost leisurely stood, taking the hand of the girl beside him, then reached down to collect his robe, and recoiled in horror at the bugs that festooned it. He couldn’t get to the rod, whatever it was supposed to do.<br/><br/>“Heads up, Hoyden’s ensorcelled or something,” I said, communicating through the earbuds.<br/><br/>“Nuh uh,” I could hear her speak through the earbud. She caught the cape from behind, then hurled him through the doorway, at Clockblocker. He stepped on the man’s bare back, and the man was frozen.<br/><br/>“Cape two captured,” Clockblocker said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25 Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref>

Her power was under conscious control, she could suppress it.
