Appearance
Mina is, at a glance, more or less human woman of average build and height. Sure, she's got natural purple hair thanks to grey market gene therapy, and a close inspection would reveal that the visible implant on her right cheek connects to a variety of subdermal wiring and body mods. Her exposed skin shows a history of recklessness, with scars (universally well-healed) suggestive of being too close to various fires, explosions, chemical leaks, lasers, and bullets.
Like its owner, Mina's hardsuit also shows signs of having been in more close scrapes than it probably ought to have, as well as signs of being made more purple than originally designed. Minor scuffs and scrapes are self-healing, but the hastily patched over remains of sockets show that some features were too badly damaged for the suit's nanites to close up. Of note is a squarish socket on the left forearm, and a rail with rounded ends running from beneath the left armpit to the top of the shoulder. Small compartments and pockets line the suit, and some appear to be more spacious than they could justifiably be. Small thrusters strategically placed around the suit's boots, gauntlets, abdomen, and back allow for flight. Small metal wings with additional control surfaces and thruster ports have been added to draw fuel directly from the mediport network [allegedly, illegal access to the mediport system cannot be confirmed] to boost flight range indefinitely.
Personality
Mina gives the impression of an exuberant, inquisitive explorer, and appears to enjoy learning about pre-Fall human societies. When pressed for details on the time she came from, particularly her upbringing, she quickly becomes withdrawn and reserved, and persistence in questioning has been known to lead to rude-sounding words, hostility, biting, and gunfire. Her default solution to a problem is to apply as much firepower as she can bring to bear, as her patience and tolerance of boredom are minimal. If that isn't an option, she will generally go to find something else to amuse her, or something sweet.
History
Life in a Future
During her service with the crew of the Starship Anansi, Mina Pliargilo made the reckless decision to [REDACTED] with her [REDACTED], against the advice of her friends and crewmates, and was sent back in time and across the far reaches of the galaxy along with her mech MAXIM-62 by the non-human person [REDACTED] for reasons unknown.
The Woman Who Fell to Praetorian Earth
Appearing from folded space at the Earth-Moon L1 point, MAXIM-62's AI "Maxie" [call me an AI again, I dare you] attempted to land on what turned out to be Praetorian Earth. The landing was, however, quite rough, resulting in catastrophic damage to the mech's chassis, forcing it to remain in "swarm mode", and resulting in damage to both the pilot and her flight suit's integrated hardware. While she was recovering in an Imperial City hospital, attempts were made to integrate her drones into the city's Clockwork program. After it was found that the drones cannot function without Maxie, and Maxie will only work with Mina, the decision was made to induct her into the Powers Division once she was given medical clearance. On her first day on the job she encountered members of the Resistance, and realized that her suspicions about Emperor Cole's regime ("that it is totally [I refuse to translate that, it's both anatomically impossible and just plain disgusting]").
Life as a Hero of Paragon City
Mina has adapted quickly to life on Primal Earth, although it's just as alien as the Earth she just left. She's met many friendly and not-so-friendly people, helping the former and shooting the latter, and discovered many fascinating machines to tinker with and scavenge for spare parts.
While at a dance party (itself something that she had no experience of in her own time), she was approached and befriended by the lovely and mysterious Vulcana.V of the Sisterhood of Naughty Space Vixens. Liking the sound of their recruitment offer, and after meeting with the founder of the group, she hastily accepted the invitation, unperturbed by their reputation as a "villainous" organization. While she generally tries to do what she perceives to be the right thing, the law rarely enters into that consideration.
Unsorted Fun Facts
- Grew up on a space station, but has visited many planets.
- Pets with fur were not permitted on the station to reduce wear on the air filters.
- Station was run by a cell of [REDACTED] in a remote and otherwise uninhabited system, intended to keep a low profile to avoid scrutiny falling onto the illegal and heretical research being performed.
- Sometimes forgets that Earth is called that in this millennium. She'd never been to Sol system before, but hoped some day to visit Enceladus because she likes the name.
- First discovered dogs and cats on Praetorian Earth. She seems to like them!
- All of her outfits have many pockets. Some of them contain snacks! [Mina, please quit putting cupcakes in your pockets.]
- Prefers the company of machines to humans. Enjoys living in a time when AI and transhuman research is less of a treaty violation.
