**Lionel “Lonnie” Machin**, also known as **Anarky**, is a character in the No Man's Land RP.

## History

### Early History

Anarchy grew up as a normal teen in his school they were made to speak to a pen pal at first he hated the idea but when he talked to them. He was interested and absorbed by their war. One day Lonnie got a note from his pen pal saying he was scared about the war breaking out he never got another message again. Enraged he decided he had enough and was going to takedown the government and make a better world. Early on when Anarchy was trying to rob a store he had a talk with Amanda Waller, and she talked to him and told him about better methods to doing things. But Anarchy’s gang didn’t like that and tried to kill both Amanda and Lonnie. But he managed to stop his gang and walked off trying to improve his methods.

### The Experiment

Lonnie, waning change faster, took a superhuman pill with the DNA of one of Poison Ivy's plants that was manufactured by Maxwell Lord. But before Dr. Destiny could stop him, Lonnie began slowly changing his skin going a greyish-green color and his body sprouting out vines. His eyesight also worsened dramatically.

### Double Act

After going to the Gotham cemetery in an effort to look for some sort of flower, Lonnie met Harley Quinn for the first time. The two instantly clicked, and Harley became his sort of maternal figure for the time being, doing stuff such as getting him his first pair of glasses, helping him kill Maxwell Lord, and getting Lonnie food. But when the two started plundering the crashed Iron Heights airship for supplies, they were chased by Wildcat and his men in a case of mistaken identity. When they finally sorted things out, Anarky was taken to Robinson Park to potentially receive help from Poison Ivy. He was left there to sleep by Harley, but ended up wandering to the harbor where he met Amanda Waller again, and accidentally informed her of his new living situation. He then goes with her to get a new pair of glasses from Dr. Amy Rose, the two finds themselves back at the greenhouse where Amanda verbally kicks Harley’s behind for letting Lonnie go off on all sorts of dangerous activities. The two then part sadly, with Harley promising to see him again.

### A New Home

After making himself at home in the greenhouse and meeting Poison Ivy for the first time, he informs her and Wildcat on where the rest of Maxwell Lord’s drugs could be stored. But he wandered off again while they were gone, finding himself at the Carmine Hotel where he tried to strike a deal with Carmine Falcone to hunt down Magpie, but ended up backing out and making The Roman suspicious of him. He tried to sneak back into the greenhouse, only to get busted by Amanda and Ivy. Although he was grounded, Amanda and Polka-Dot Man took him on a walk for a nice talk, only to get jumped by the Roman’s men. He and the mobster meet again, and learn of his recent attack from Onomatopoeia and why he was so suspicious of Lonnie in the first place. After striking a deal with the old man, Lonnie and the group receive a small container of the meta-human pills and then leave, heading back to base.

## Kills

Lonnie is so far responsible for the deaths of 5 unarmed henchmen, as well as the “death” of Maxwell Lord.

## Relationships

* **Dr. Destiny**: Anarky hates Dr. Destiny due to him constantly making fun of him.
* **Harley Quinn:** Despite not knowing each other for too long, Lonnie views her as a sort of maternal figure as she actually liked and treated him well. He even refers to her as “Auntie Harley”, and almost mistakenly refers to Poison Ivy as such. They are currently separated.
* **Amanda Waller:** He also cares just as deeply for Amanda as he does Harley, trying to tend to her and feeling concern after her bout with the League of Assassins. He also confides in her and legitimately thinks of her as a sort of parental figure.
* **Task Force Xi:** His relationship with the team thus far positive. Polka-Dot Man thinks he’s a joy, Ivy is stern, strict, and a bit detached from him but ultimately cares, Wildcat tends to prioritize Lonnie’s safety, and Captain Boomerang is snippy and sarcastic but he’s trying. Lonnie has yet to meet Deadshot.

## Abilities

* **Botanokinesis:** Like Ivy, Lonnie has the ability to control plants, and not just the ones that grow on him. He’s been shown being able to control any nearby plants, as well as his own having the ability to creep out across spaces. It’s unknown if his personal vines have the same level of grip or strength as Ivy’s.
* **Healing Factor:** If Lonnie spends at least a few hours in the sunlight, non-lethal injuries can be healed (though scars are left behind). UV lights work much faster though.
* **Poison Immunity:** What it says on the tin. He’s immune to a fair amount of toxin and poisons, but is very susceptible towards weed killers, pesticides, and chemicals used against plants. Zinc also stings and weakens him, and leaves behind faint yellow splotches.
* **Basic Combat Knowledge**- She's not totally useless in a straight fight, as she knows how to properly dodge blows and throw punches. Most of the time.
* **Sharpshooter:** Lonnie is a fairly good shot with his guns at close range.

## Trivia

* One of the players joked about describing Anarky as "It's not a phase".
* Lonnie needs to be watched 24/7 this isn’t a joke. He’s even received a tracker in-story because of this.
