Editing Character:Willie Maize (section)

== Character Description ==

"''...''"

Willie Maize is a mutated, telepathic corn plant.  He moves by uprooting himself, and traveling on his roots as if they were a multitude of tiny feet.  His mutations also make it possible for him to use his leaves like hands, though fine-manipulation is beyond him due to his lack of fingers.  Willie is completely mute, and communicates solely by telepathy &mdash; this trait is one he shares with the rest of his tribe.

However, unlike other members of his tribe, Willie shows some additional mutations.  The extra-thick bark-like outer-layer is abnormal, but not such that it would ostracize him.  The death field, on the other hand&hellip;

Tossed out of his tribe with only a hand-axe and a small shield made from a giant beetle carcass to fend off potential threats (''"We are not wild beasts, we are plants. Even those who cannot live with us deserve a chance to survive."''), Willie searches for companionship, tranquility, and a place to call home among the harsh landscape of Gamma World.
