Mina Patina's Questionnaire

Mina has taken residence somewhere in the mountain areas of Utah near a small town called Brian Head.  After Mina's accident, a change of scenery was required.  Mina here from the hustle of the big city to get some piece and quite, and to mentally recover from her accident.

The cold air, and long walks through the forest have done wonders for Mina's state of mind.  It also gives her plenty of space to practice her new found arcane skills that she's been studying up on during her recovery, and it's started to pay off.

Mina loves the grand outdoors and the mountains, and she wants to see them preserved for future generations.

Right now, Mina is living on the slim pickings of the winnings from her sponsorships from when she was an athlete, and coaching the local Olympic hopefuls.

Mina spends the majority of her money collecting occult grimoires and artifacts.  Mina is searching for the list civilization of Atlantis, and hopes to learn it's secrets.  So far, most of the stuff she's acquired has turned out to be "junk.". At least by her standards.

If something doesn't have any immediate clue to Atlantis, then it just goes in the local storage unit.  All kinds of things can be found in there.

The search for Atlantis is going to be a long one, so Mina wants to increase her life span to give her the time to find it.  Once that's done, Mina will devote her time to tracing down every last scrap of Atlantis that she can find.

Mina would prefer to avoid killing people if possible, if someone is dead, the amount they can share is severely limited.  If someone shares a secret with her, then she'll share a secret with them.

As for how close to death Mina is willing to come, well she can't find Atlantis if she's dead, and searching for immortality first, well, it's safe to say Mina prefers to take the long view of things.

Mina was a aspiring Olympic hopeful until she got in a car accident.  It was a terrible accident, and it ruined her aspirations of that elusive gold metal.  The accident was so bad that it cost her an arm.

Mina always did have some curiosity about lost civilizations and a mind for the occult.  So following the accident, Mina turned her curiosity into a hobby, and now it's an obsession.

Before the accident Mina was very practical and focused a lot on her training.  Now, however, Mina has started to focus on the esoteric to the point it has her friends and family worried about her.

The three people closest to Mina in her life would have to be Professor Evans, Debbie Dains, and Don Sylvester.

Professor Evans is Mina's archeological mentor.  He's the one who lit Mina's love for all things buried and forgotten.  Originally, archeology was just a secondary degree in Mina's plans, but after Mina's accident.  Professor Evans helped Mina through the rough patches.  Now he's worried that Mina's obsession with Atlantis is going to doom her scholarly career.

Debbie Dains is Mina's childhood best friend.  Debbie has always been a reliable friend, but their relationship has been strained as of late.  Since Mina's accident, Mina has turned into a big pain lately.  Debbie hopes it's just emotional scarring trying to make up for the loss of an arm, so Debbie hasn't given up on Mina just yet.

Then there's Don Silvester.  Don is Mina's antiques dealer.  Don is always keeping an eye out for anything unusual, and is always happy to feed Mina's obsession.

Mina's parents constantly pushed Mina to be her best.  They pressed Mina to get the best grades, complete all the honor courses, and enroll in college early.  Going for a run was the only time Mina was able to get piece and quite.  This is were she developed her love for track and field.  Soon after discovering her love, Mina's dreams quickly shifted to getting as many gold metals in the Olympics as possible.  Mina's parents encouraged this dream, but they also pushed her to have a back-up career.

History was Mina's favorite subject, and she studied hard for it, and got in college for a scholarship because of her dedication.  This all changed one night when a drunk driver crashed into her car on the way to college.  This cost Mina her arm, and her dreams of becoming an Olympian.  Her parents were also shattered by the revelation.  Mina was able to start college in the next semester with her scholarship.

Mina has had lovers, but Mina's obsession with Atlantis always seemed for over shadow her desire for affection.  Especially after her accident.  Mina threw herself head first into her studies, having the be the best just like she always was.  Mina wasn't going to let a simple drunk driver from letting her achieve greatness.  Mina studied history, and the occult.  Trying to do the impossible.  Find ancient Atlantis.  If Mina could just find Atlantis, she would prove to the world just how great she is.

One day, in the library when Mina was in the library, she found a book she knows wasn't there yesterday, and it was in an old dialect.  Mina knew she found something special.

Mina's greatest fear would be never laying eyes on Atlantis.
