Chanti Faust

**Gender**

 **Function**

**Dr. Chanti Faust** is an NPC in Protochroma. She can be found in Headquarters, more specifically the Infirmary.

## Function

Chanti heals the player up to 90% of their max HP, as long as they have less than 70% remaining HP to begin with. She performs this service for free once per day, with increasing costs for subsequent heals. All heals, including the daily free heal, increase the cost slightly until it resets after a week. Chanti's dialogue will change depending on the player's remaining HP and the cost of the heal.

## Additional Lore

* Chanti only has one natural limb, that being her left arm; the rest are cybernetic prosthetics. She lost her limbs in an accident she doesn't like to talk about. She has adapted to having prosthetics and doesn't mind them.
* Chanti made her current set of prosthetics herself, though she needed assistance in putting them in. Prior to this, she had commercial models.
* She would make an excellent drinking buddy, but is an "incredible lightweight" due to her greatly reduced blood volume. When tipsy, she will also either begin ranting about how much of a genius she is and how combat cybernetics could become affordable if she could get the funding, or she will complain about everything, with no middle ground.
* While her specialty is medics and robotics, Chanti is extremely good at electronics and computer engineering. Her medical specialties are surgery, neurology, and cybernetics.
* Chanti is an ardent pacifist, but doesn't believe that anyone else has to be; this stems from her "do no harm" philosophy as a doctor. She understands that fighting is sometimes a necessity.
* Chanti does not accept hugs from strangers, but due to her pacifist beliefs, she'll more likely loudly complain at the hug than react violently.

## Quotes

When healing with a low cost
* *"You really want some more ARSE? What’s with that look? That's what that stuff's called! Adrenaline Rejuvenation Surge Elixir. Do you keep coming back because you like the taste of it?"*

Healing with a slightly higher cost
* *"Ah, the frequent flyer is back. Sorry, you won't earn any miles here. Yeah, I can get you another dose, if you really feel like coughing up that many Credits.
