Dominet - Goddess of the Fight

A bastion to survivors everywhere, she is considered a sort of 'everyman' God. Her depiction as a common woman fueled by an intense desire to fight and overcome only feeds into this motif even more. Although her primary and most devout followers favor physical conflict, people experiencing rough times may consider her their patron saint, as they pray for her strength to enlighten them.
It is widely agreed on her appearance as a young woman, likely in her early twenties, with an athletic build. Her hair is an off white, and her skin both tanned and lightly grimy from the sweat of arduous combat. Across her eyes is a black streak, and her clothes are little more than simple linens and sandals. Her preferred weapons is the shattered blade of Kohtl, a massive greatsword that was broken in combat, but she is said to have mastery over all weapons, and even the ability to weaponize common items like a chair or a tavern mug.   She is also known as 'The Nomad God', since common tales are of her wandering the lands looking for a worthy fight. She is considered both blessed by her prowess and cursed for the inability to find an engaging challenge.
Another virtue she demonstrations is standing in opposition of chains and shackles. However, it is a common misconception that she is a 'Good' themed god because of this, many citing her as the saint of abolitionists everywhere. In actuality, she opposes imprisonment of even criminals and Evil, instead preferring they prove themselves in combat. She is of the belief that if they are right they will fight with enough zealous strength that they will overcome their opposition.

Personal history

Dominet was chosen in a way far different than the other Gods. The Entities had seen how people fought, whether physically, verbally, or even just spiritually, but the need for conflict was an emotion they were not able to properly understand and dissect. Instead, they opted to host a temporary arena and fill it with people, both to fight and witness, as they noticed people pushed themselves harder when under a watchful eye. Warriors from all walks of life, different shapes and sizes, races big and small, were created and weaponry was provided, strewn about the coliseum. For weeks the battle raged ever onward, thinning the numbers one by one with a particular female quite noteworthy in her prowess.   She was smaller than the others and slower on the draw, unable to retrieve a weapon in time and certainly unable to stand toe to toe against the larger creatures. Rather than cower in a corner, she fought where she could and retrieved weapons from fallen warriors, demonstrating surprising mastery over all she was able lay her hands on. She had outlasted all but two in the final hour, a centaur warchief known as Khotl, and Volcaros, a human. However, she was seemingly struck down when thick and imposing chains were wrapped around her form and a nearby pillar, pinning her while the other two engaged, determined to finish her after the fight. Yet she was underestimated as she had been from the beginning...As Volcaros drove his blade into Khotl's stomach, Dominet was able to free herself, much to the surprise of the audience, Volcaros, and the Entities. She paused, holding the chain and dropping it as a chilling reminder that she would not be stopped.   The two clashed for three days, the tide of victory swaying to and fro between the contestants, but the decisive strike was when she leapt into the air, wielding the mammoth-yet-shattered blade of Khotl, and crumbled Volcaros with all of her might. Her dogged tenacity more than earned her the right to be the deity of conflict.
