Dr. Liset Chen

"'We're a group of clerics. We'll call ourselves the A-men and heal hoes and own foes.'"

Liset is a priest in the VGO universe. She appears in The Heartfire Healer Series.

Background
Dr. Lisette Chen was a medical doctor in lower Manhattan during the final days of 213 Astraea. When her hospital administrator, Dr. Edward White decreed that the hospital be shut down, she refused the order and kept it open to keep her patients alive. Most of her colleagues abandoned her.

She consoled herself with the fact she was able to save her elderly mother by buying a plane ticket back to China and the promise of a secure bunker, but the experience left her bitter.

Personality
When alone, Liset is a sarcastic, broken, angry woman who spits curses freely. Around others, she is sympathic and kindly, often going out of her way to check on those around her. She understands what it feels like to be in pain, fearful, or helpless, and doesn't want her patients to feel that way.

Because of her experience as an emergency room doctor, she frequently assumes the position of party or raid leader. Her ability to stay calm, quickly analyze a situation, run the math, and diagnose the problem makes her well suited for this, but she is intensely stubborn and firm in her beliefs. She refuses to ask permission from evil people to do good, and will proceed to help until apprehended.

She's quick to cure with a smile and likes to think she's funny, often making terrible puns and using dark humor to cope. She especially loves flirting with women, and often minds her own business, overlooking vices or eccentricities, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

Despite studying health and medicine, she's not known for taking good care of herself, constantly working long hours, rarely sleeping, and finding solace in drink. But at her core, she believes deeply that she owes Gaia a great debt for rescuing her and offering her a second chance to save lives, and that she owes it to others to grant them the same mercy.

Appearance
On Earth, Dr. Chen had cropped black hair and whiskey-colored eyes with a muscular body and hidden sleeve tattoes. She wore a knitted dark blue beanie, lycra jacket, and her bloodied white labcoat over her medical scrubs.

Her mother hated her freckles, but when Liset could change her appearance in VGO, she liked the look of the Dawn Elves, and kept her freckles out of spite. She has long blonde hair she frequently braids into a crown on her head, as her mother disliked her bleaching her hair on earth. Her eyes are light blue and she has a graceful, lithe build. She's short in stature, unlike her Hvitalfar brethren.

Under her robes, she has a Divine Spark scar on her chest that glows when she touches it.

Class and Abilities
Liset is a Priest of Gaia.

''Anyone may choose their Aspect and serve in a temple as they see, but only the Priest is personally called by The Light to minister to the people of Falas Alferra directly. Like the Holy Templars who serve as protectors and enforcers of justice, the Priests serve as protectors of life and enforcers of their Aspect’s will. ''

''They tend to the needs of the faithful through magical light that may heal, punish, or bolster their companions through buffs. When a heart cries out for succor, the Old Gods answer by sending a Priest. When hope is lost, the Priest restores faith. When there seems no way out, the Priest’s light guides them. When death stands in wait to claim a soul, the Priest bids the wounded to rise and fight again with but a word.''

Specialization
Though all Priests have a certain affinity for light magic—the magical manipulation of holy and light energies—Heiromancers specialize in mitigating and restoring damage done to their allies through their prayers.

At level 10, they gain the ability Divinity, which enables them to cast Miracles. When in a party of 4 or more, or by performing daily quests or prayers, they are able to fill their Fealty gauge up to Level 1. Fealty gradually fills over the course of battle through the actions of the party and can be increased faster by performing feats of heroism, such as stunning an enemy, or healing a party member who is below 10% health. Level 2 Miracles may be granted when fighting a Boss, and level 3 miracles may be accessed when in a raid.

At level 15, they gain the ability Duality, which enables them to use their non-dominant hand to cast offensive magic in lieu of their healing spells. This kit can be especially difficult to play, as they are easily damaged themselves, being restricted to light armor, and at lower levels have no offensive magical abilities. They are best suited for healer roles and are particularly vulnerable and weak when they are not in a party
