Lil' Annie isn't little. Quite the contrary, actually. She's 6'2" and around 160 pounds of muscle. That isn't the most defining feature she possesses, however. Her entire left leg is crooked and covered with deep gouges, and she has a long, jagged scar running from the top of her forehead through her left eyebrow and eye, through her mouth and under the left side of her jaw. If you catch her from the right angle, however, some remnants of the woman she once was still remain. A proud jawline, refined nose, attentive eye and expressive eyebrow serve as painful reminders of the past.

Annie wears loose and slightly revealing clothing as a way to determine who her friends and enemies are. Usually a ratty, holey wifebeater, a threadbare hoodie and some ripped up cargo pants with flip-flops. Those that know her and are comfortable around her know not to stare. She relies heavily on a cane she built for herself, which conceals a ten gauge shotgun.

Personality: Driven, industrious, and motivated, Lil' Annie is a powerful leader. She cares about those she keeps around, and fights tooth and nail to make sure they are all well provided for. Lil' Annie does have a personality complex about her deformities, however, and has been known to lash out at people who try to pity her or do work they think she isn't physically capable of doing.

She is also a dope fiend, heavily addicted to painkillers of any sort, as without them every waking moment for her is pure agony.

What your character did before the phenomenon: An industrial mechanic. Worked on heavy construction equipment. During the phenomenon, she fell into a motor that chewed up her leg before catastrophically failing and sending shrapnel everywhere. She retreated into her mind to survive the initial tsunami of pain, and once she was under control, her newly awakened abilities reacted on instinct to preserve her life.

Powers: Powerful psychokinetic. Can toss humans around on a whim, though more massive objects require some concentration.

Personal belongings: Tool belt, shotgun cane, large monkey wrench, personal med kit containing her painkillers.

Weaknesses: Crippled left leg and blind left eye make her vulnerable to close range attacks. If she goes too long without her painkillers, she will be incapacitated by the raw agony of her injuries.

So begins...

"Alright, everyone get ready. When it happens, it'll happen fast. Tell everyone to get into positions." Several men split off and ran in different directions, heading for vehicles. The one remaining stood in an open square, arms crossed and looking threatening. Of course, the machete on his belt definitely helped with that.

The MawMaw clan had hidden in the shadows for long enough. Now that they had around a hundred and fifty members, it was time to put the first part of their plan into action: Take Shanty Town. A few people wandering by gave the man strange looks, though once they noticed the tattoo on his neck, they picked up their pace. The 'heart caught in a bear trap' tattoo had begun to appear with more alarming frequency in Shanty Town, a symbol of the MawMaw's growing membership.

A heavy hand landing on his shoulder caused the man to jump in surprise, though his posture quickly turned to one of respect when he saw who it was. "Lil' Annie! I'm sorry, I wasn't watching for you." The leader of the MawMaw's simply smiled at him, though her scar made it more of a lopsided grin.

"Ain't a problem. The boys ready? I'm itchin' to start tearin' it up." Her captain nodded quickly. Rolling her shoulders experimentally, Lil' Annie Gadow handed the man her cane and rose up from the ground by the power of her mind. She hovered forward til she reached the main street that circled Shanty Town. Without warning, she swept her arms upwards with a sharp exhalation. Screams erupted from below as the street split in half down the middle. The side closest to Shanty Town rose up to form a wall, while the other half dropped down. She made sure to push any bystanders off the street so they weren't crushed by rubble.

In scarcely three hours, Lil' Annie had circled all of Shanty Town and torn up streets to make the wall she wanted. Her final display of power was to build a heavy gate and bridge connecting Shanty Town to the rest of New Horizon. As soon as she landed, however, all semblance of control left her as she collapsed into a writhing ball of agony.

"Move! Move, bring her something! Morphine, Codeine, whatever you can find!" The captain skidded to a halt and grabbed hold of Lil' Annie, making sure she didn't chew off her own tongue or smash her head open on the concrete. As soon as one of her men came back with a bottle and syringe, he filled it up and injected her right in the jugular. "Don't worry, Lil' Annie. We're here. We got you." Slowly, the tremors stopped. Pulling herself into a sitting position, the psychokinetic looked around with glassy eyes.

A smile grew on her face as she examined her handiwork. Sure, it'd need to be polished some, but a ten foot concrete wall now surrounded her new domain. All that remained was to address the people within. Her captain retrieved her cane, helping her towards the open square. People had begun to gather, wide eyed and talking fearfully. Seeing Lil' Annie and all her men only served to make the fear worse. What was this?

Standing up straighter, Shanty Town's new self-appointed leader cleared her throat. "Shanty Town! Listen up! My name's Lil' Annie. I know you heard a' me, 'cause I hear everything. Things are gonna be different around here now. Shanty Town is under my care. That means there's gonna be some rules for you all to follow, but I don't expect 'em to be too hard. One, no crimes. You commit a crime, I punish you personally. My definition of crime is theft, murder, arson, and rape. Two, you wanna stay in Shanty Town, you'll need ink or a brand. Anyone who doesn't want to go through with that, clear out."

Her speech clearly upset the crowd, though they didn't dare take any hostile action. Not with so many people holding machetes and, of course, Lil' Annie herself standing right there. She continued her speech.

"Three, anyone you see with a machete and this tat, they're mine. What they say is what I say. However, you think something they tell you is fishy, you're free to bring it up with me. You got a grievance with your fellow man? Tell one of them and they'll sort you out. If they can't, they'll bring it to one of my lieutenants. If they can't do it, I'll handle it personally." She paused for a moment, accepting a water bottle handed to her by one of her men and taking a long gulp.

"Now then. Here's how things're gonna run from now on. That gate over there opens at noon, and closes at two AM. We'll get more of 'em built to handle traffic, but those are the hours. Everyone in and out gets checked. No tat, no brand, no passport and you're denied. Keep that in mind." Now the crowd was openly angry, arguing and shouting at her. She let them go for a bit before holding up her hand and stepping forward towards them. They quickly quieted down.

"How many times you been mugged in an alleyway? Had someone break into your home and steal your stuff? Lost a family member to some crack addict with a knife? I'm changin' that! Shanty Town ain't gonna be a slum no more! Instead, we're gonna become a beacon to the rest of that crazy city, an example that people can live right together without stabbin' each other over a loaf a' bread! It'll be hard at first to adjust, sure. But once we get it, I promise you, it'll be great. The greatest. No crime, everyone's complaints tended to, safety and security, everyone fed. You all want those things, yeah?"

Normally, a speech like that would sound like the ravings of a lunatic or dictator, but Lil' Annie spoke with authority and sincerity. Surely, if anyone could enforce her rules, it'd be the woman who built a wall around Shanty Town single-handedly, right? The crowd changed from angry shouting to unsure murmuring. Whether they liked it or not, Lil' Annie was taking over. They decided it would be smarter to follow for now.

"Those that're stayin', see my men about a tat or brand. Those that are leavin', you got til two AM tomorrow."
