Iminathi "Mina" Semenya helped save Earth from the Grin invasion of the 1980s as the superhero everyone knew as Minder. A young South African woman with mild telepathic abilities, Mina underwent a transformation thanks to a device created by Niles Lincoln during the desperate heart of the invasion designed to boost her powers. This psychic upgrade allowed Minder to coordinate all defenders of Earth against the Grin.
But while it gave Minder overwatch capabilities that proved indispensable in defense of the planet, it also extracted a dire cost. Over the following decades, the device continued to boost her abilities, usually in ways she didn't expect or want. The aid became an affliction, coloring Minder's perceptions of reality so strongly that hero has gradually but effectively become a villain. Minder's amped-up mental powers include some sort of psychometabolism ability that has dramatically slowed her natural aging process; she still appears young decades later.
In the Boundless setting, Minder lives in California. When she was a hero in South Africa, she was partners with Vanish.
Motive: Unpredictable
Environment: Anywhere
Health: 33
Damage Inflicted: Moderate wound (7 points)
Armor: 6 (from telekinetic shield)
Movement: Short; long when telekinetically flying
Modifications: Telepathic contact as level 10
Combat: Minder's array of mental powers includes telekinesis, which she can use to grant herself flight, create a telekinetic shield, and shoot a force bolt at up to three foes at once within short range. This same ability allows her to manipulate or pick up objects and toss them about.
Thanks to her mental powers, she's such a strong telepath that she can telepathically communicate with anyone in the world who's willing to talk to her. She can also read the surface thoughts of those within long range who fail an Intellect defense roll.
Other abilities include weak precognition, which sometimes turns up useful knowledge of things that could happen within a few days, but which is most commonly used when she's in combat (and thus already figured into her overall level).
Interaction: At unexpected moments, Minder goes from sorrowful to full of rage, from sad to enthusiastic. Most people assume she suffers from a mental illness brought on by her amped-up powers. But she just laughs at such suggestions, insisting that she is acting according to insights gained by seeing into a higher reality.
Use: A gadgeteer thinks they know of a way to safely remove the device amping up Minder's abilities. Step one is capturing Minder, who no longer wishes for a remedy.
GM Intrusion: Minder uses a psychometabolism power to regain all her lost health.
