(By Sirea Theyal, with help from Christopher Anthony and the IN List)
Genubath was a Kyriotate of Destiny created shortly after the Fall, and after witnessing the damage the Horde could inflict, she took up the arts of healing, doing her best to restore the spirits and health of mankind back to full, so that they may be ready for the next assault. Peaceful and kind to a fault, Genubath believes it is her sole duty to heal everyone on the side of good who has been hurt, and her promotion to Archangel of Healing did little to change her attitudes.
Loved by nearly everyone in the House of Peace, and by many of the warriors in the House of War, Genubath and her angels are a crucial part of Heaven's efforts to stop Hell from overtaking the earth, and many shudder to think how many would have died if not for her selfless dedication.
Genubath expects her Servitors to heal everyone who is even remotely on the side of Heaven, and she frowns upon the violent and bad-tempered, but will not deny her services to anyone who seeks them peacefully. Rumors are abound that some of Genubath's angels having assisted demons who were wounded, but Asmodeus cleared her name by declaring her reasons selfless and Just, having earned her the combined ire and respect of the more militant Archangels.
To Genubath, the Word of Healing encompasses all forms of healing, and not just the restoration of physical health. She has just as many angels who counsel to heal mind and soul as she does paramedics to heal the body. Many angels who serve warrior Archangels have come to calling Genubath's Servitors "Freakin' Life Savers", after the fact that many angels have been saved by a Genubite from Trauma... and even soul-death. Quite a few warrior groups request a Healer to accompany them on missions, but they will be denied if there is a shortage of available Healers (And there almost always is). For Genubath, mankind comes first, and the War second.
DISSONANCE
It is dissonant for a Servitor of Healing to cause damage of any kind (Body, Mind, or Soul hits) to a living being, unless they are a demon, a Hellsworn human, or an evil ethereal. They will also incur dissonance if they do not tend to a deserving individual who is in need of healing, if it is within the angel's power to do so. Being selfless, angels of Healing know that their own wounds can wait until those needing of attention are treated.
CHOIR ATTUNEMENTS (Healers, Doctors, Weavers, Menders, Medics, Genubites, Freakin' Life Savers)
Seraphim
By placing his hands on the body of a wounded individual,
the Seraph will know exactly what caused any and all wounds his subject has, but
not -who- caused them, and a general idea of the severity of the wound.
Cherubim (Restricted)
These Cherubim may transfer their own
Body, Mind, or Soul hits to their attuned with a simple Will roll, healing
and protecting their charges from harm.
Ofanim (Restricted)
Wheels of Healing can add their Corporeal
Forces to their resonance whenever they are trying to seek out a safe
haven for the wounded, if they are in the presence of someone who needs
immediate healing. They are Genubath's ambulance riders.
Elohim
Genubath's Powers receive an additional 12 points when
starting play to spend on Roles as people who heal the body and mind, such
as doctors, counselors, shamans, medicine men, etc.
Malakim
Although they remain uncommon, a Virtue of Healing may
spend 3 Essence to not cause any disturbance when fighting a demon who
the Malakite saw inflict lasting harm on a human. This lasts for the
Malakite's Celestial Forces in hours. The Malakite must spend an
additional 3 Essence for every demon he wishes to not create disturbance
for when fighting.
Lilim
These Gifters can sense what would best help someone to heal
from a wound, be it mental or physical. All she needs to do is touch the
subject, ask him what he is wounded with, and the Lilim will know right
away what he Needs to start on the road to recovery.
Kyriotates (Partially Restricted)
Genubath's Kyriotates may
perform the Corporeal Song of Healing for no Essence on any wounded vessel
they are currently possessing.
Mercurian (Restricted)
These Friends may use their resonance to
see if their target has been hurt or healed by others, and to what general
degree (very much, a little, permanently, etc).
Grigori
If one of the Watchers of Healing hears a disturbance
caused by the harm of a human, they will automatically know the general
direction of the offender, and whether it is a human, ethereal, or
celestial being.
Ethereals
Healers of the Marches, any ethereal being who serves
Genubath may transfer their own Mind hits to an ethereal domain in order
to heal it of any damage typically done by evil ethereals and the
Servitors of Despair and Perfection. If healing the domain means healing
an ethereal who is a part of it, then the healer may transfer it^Òs Mind
hits to the wounded ethereal.
SERVITOR ATTUNEMENTS
Full-Cure
With a successful Will roll and 5 seconds of
concentration, the angel can voluntarily give up all of her current Body
hit's except for one, and give them to a human she is touching. This is
dangerous to do during combat though, as it makes the angel an excellent
target for demonic attack...
Purging
For 2 Essence, the angel can force any and all damaging
substances from the body of one human he is touching. This will force the
human to vomit or defecate any foreign substances she has in her body, and
any bullets or broken pieces in her will force their way out. Note that
the angel will not incur dissonance if the human is hurt by any of this,
but only if the angel continues to heal her afterwards.
Calming
With a successful Will roll and the cost of 1 Essence,
these angels can make anyone who is emotionally out of control calm down
for the angel's Ethereal Forces in hours. This works on someone who is
being affected by an Ethereal Discord, a Habbalite's resonance, or simple
emotional distress.
Anesthetic
By holding a willing human's hand and making a Will
roll, the angel can take any and all pain the human feels upon herself,
making healing faster and easier. No wounds will appear upon the angel's
body, but she will feel everything that her target feels. The human will
simply feel nothing, and have a soothing numb sensation until the angel
lets go.
DISTINCTIONS
Vassal of Soothing
Ever close with the sacred art of healing,
these angels may add their Celestial Forces to any roll made that involves
physically or mentally healing another individual, be it a skill, Song, or
resonance roll.
Friend of Healers
For 5 Essence, the angel may designate an area
equal to his Corporeal Forces in yards as a "safe zone", in which people
may rest and heal, and will not fight, lasting for 24 hours. In game
terms, this creates an area under the influence of the Seraph of Flowers
attunement.
Master of Restoration
With a successful Will roll, these angels
can sacrifice their own Forces to restore them to someone who has lost
one. The angel must give up a Force of the same type that the target
lost; he can't give a Celestial Force to someone who has lost a Corporeal
one, and the target can never go over their original limit. Genubath has
some of the most low-Force Masters you'll ever see.
RELATIONS
Genubath focuses solely on healing, and is much beloved by her fellow Peace Faction Superiors, especially Fleurity, who once served beside Genubath under Makatiel. While she doesn't approve of the Archangels who concentrate so much on fighting or promoting damaging Words, she will not treat them as enemies, and her services are open to all.

Genubath is a very busy Kyriotate, her Word demands nearly constant attention to both humans and the War that is being fought, but she somehow manages to keep a smile on her face(s). She's always willing to appear and help heal, but her Servitors would do anything to take the heavy load off of her back, and thus try to never summon her unless the need is dire.

+2 A doctors medical bag, or a first-aid kit
+3 A large hospital
+4 A major operation to heal someone who is severely wounded
