Profile

Wilhelmina Murray was born in the late 1800's in Victorian England. In 1897 she and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, were caught up in a scandal involving a Transylvanian Count and a Doctor Abraham van Helsing. Upon the Count's (presumed) destruction and her return to England, Mina has become Mrs. Harker. She is also forever changed, no longer human and not completely vampire. As a result of their experiences, Mina and her husband divorce a year later.

In the same year as her divorce, Mina (now Murray again) is approached by Campion Bond of the British Secret Service about joining a special team. Mina spends the next few decades leading two separate teams of undercover operatives under the colloquial moniker 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. She continues working on and off for the British Secret Service through the 1960's when, due to an unfortunate incident involving bats and LSD, she has a flashback that results in her being committed to an asylum. Released years later by an old acquaintance, Mina is ready to see what changes have come about in this new century. Once her medication wears off.

HEALING

One of the most significant effects of drinking vampire's blood was the healing factor. Any normal wounds that she receives heal over the matter of a few seconds. Bullets and blades still tear through her flesh, it's just that the injured tissue reknits almost immediately. The more severe the damage, the longer it takes for her to heal. Stabbing her heart will only keep her down so long as she remains impaled. Decapitation will end her, unless the head is returned to the body. Another result of this is that toxins have almost no lasting effects. Drugs or alcohol can give her a brief high, but her body processes them quickly.

IMMORTALITY

Seeking immortality, Mina bathed in the Pool of Fire in Africa. When she emerged unchanged, she realized that there was nothing the Pool could give her that she didn't already possess. With the vampire's blood mingled with her own, Mina has become a supernatural creature immune to the effects of aging.

IMMUNITIES

Being only half-vampire, Mina lacks the traditional vampire vulnerabilities. Religious symbols don't bother her, and neither does garlic. She can function just fine in full daylight as well.

REFLEXES

Another side effect of being fed vampire blood is Mina's enhanced physical prowess. Her reflexes are well into the superhuman range, moving almost faster than the human eye can follow. While not in the range of super speedsters, Mina has a decided edge in a fight. She can dodge missiles if she can see them, including bullets.

SHAPESHIFTING

Mina can shapeshift into a swarm of bats. She often does this to feed, and can send individuals off of the main swarm to scout ahead. While she can assume this form at any time, she does hold to the bats' natural preference to avoid full daylight. Mina can also sprout vampire's fangs at will, her own canine teeth growing quite long. When she is feeding her eyes change from green to blood red in color.

STRENGTH

Mina's strength is measured more in physical prowess than her ability to lift weights. She is strong enough to leap with the effortless grace of a jungle cat and about twice the distance (8 meters vertically or 12 meters horizontally from a stand-still). At a dead run she can keep up with a galloping horse (about 45 mph) for short bursts (not that a Lady would ever DO such a thing). When fighting, her blows exert enough force to readily break bones and punch through light body armor. She is quite capable of tearing a standard wooden door from its hinges.

Skills

ACTING

Mina has learned, through her many adventures and assignments, the value of operating under assumed identities. She has played the role of a homeless woman, a proper housewife, an expectant mother, and even a prostitute.

COMBAT

Mina was never really one for fighting, being a proper Victorian lady. Over the course of adventures during the past century and a half, however, she has learned a few things and can manage multiple opponents with relative ease. Possessing no mean skill, Mina takes advantage of her supernatural gifts instead, using them to her best advantage whenever possible. In a fight she prefers a dagger or two, when she can't attack as a swarm of bats. She's certainly capable of using most any hand weapon to deadly effect.

FEARLESS

It isn't really that Mina isn't afraid of anything. It's just that, after being overcome and tormented by a vampire, there really isn't much else out there that's quite as frightening. Living through such an ordeal tends to make other risky experiences pale by comparison.

LEADERSHIP

Her encounter with the vampire in Transylvania really brought out Mina's leadership skills. She keeps her cool under pressure, and can be counted on to make rational decisions in even the worst of circumstances. Mina isn't afraid to make unpopular decisions, either, which lent her an air of impartiality with the rest of the League.

OCCULT

So many of the League's missions have involved matters that are best defined as 'occult'. Inspired by van Helsing, Mina has learned to apply scientific principles to Unseen Matters as well. She's researched a good variety of phenomena over the past century and a half.

SCHOOL MISTRESS

Prior to her engagement to Jonathan Harker, Mina was a school mistress. While she was well-versed in all of the basic subjects, her specialty was in etiquette and social graces. Just the sort of woman to instruct a proper young lady how to act in Victorian society.

SCIENTIST

Upon joining the League and meeting Nemo, Mina took an interest in science and scientific principles. She's no Einstein or Edison, but she learns whatever she can and is quite well-read. And her scientific, logical approach to problems has been useful on more than one occasion.

WELL TRAVELLED

Mina has seen a good portion of the world over the course of her long life. While based in England, she has spent time in Hungary, Transylvania, Africa, Western Europe, China and the Americas among other places. She certainly hasn't been everywhere or seen everything, but Mina has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Resources

BLACK DOSSIER

Mina is in possession of the Black Dossier, the journal of the history of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The journal chronicles the various incarnations of the League including its secret origins, missions and activities, including its French and German counterparts. It's not the definitive source of occult knowledge, but it's a good reference all the same.

INVESTMENTS

Mina isn't rich, by any stretch of the imagination. She has, however, made some good investments over the years. And, being both immortal as well as a practical woman, Mina understands quite well how compound interest works. So she has enough money for a great deal of financial independence, without the need to keep up a 'day job'.

MI5

Mina has had a long-standing relationship with the British Secret Service, MI5 Division, thanks to her affiliation with two incarnations of the League. While she's technically no longer an active agent, if she ever needed the Agency's support she could probably get it. After filling out the proper forms, of course.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

BLOODLUST

As a side effect of her half-vampire existense, Mina slips into a frenzy at the sight of blood. Depending on how long it's been since she's fed, even the sight of a few drops of blood is enough to set her off. On the other hand if she's been recently satiated, she's not even going to blink at a blood-spattered crime scene.

SCARS

Mina still bears the scars of the vampire's attacks upon her throat. Not merely a couple of neat pinpricks, the vampire bit deeply and left her with graphic souvenirs of the event. As a result, she is VERY self-conscious about the disfigurement and always wears a red silk scarf wrapped several times about her throat (and knotted).

VAMPIRES

Yes, Mina is a half-vampire with a weakness for vampires. It's all a matter of which side holds the ball, really. Being on the side that captures, bites, and drinks blood is one thing. Being the -victim- brings back a whole host of traumatic flashbacks.

VULNERABILITIES

While she doesn't suffer a vampire's traditional vulnerabilities, Mina CAN be killed and incapicitated. A stake through the heart will ruin anyone's day, although it only keeps her 'down' so long as she remains impaled. Likewise, beheading is always effective. She can be drugged, but with her physique it takes massive doses sustained continuously through an IV. (The asylum figured that out.)
