Diane Atrix was a quiet girl. Her parents, Maggie and Jerry Atrix extolled the
virtues of a reserved and pious life upon her since the day she was born. Her
parents often talked about the calling that she would eventually hear.
Then one day, while contemplating her entry into the convent, something
happened. She met a man unlike any man she met before. His name was
Louigi Giovani Asti Spumonti. Diane instantly fell
under his Italian-accented spell, awakening a side of her she never realized
was there. Passion consumed them wherever they went.
Not being able to get enough of Louigi, Diane decided to sneak him into her
room one night. Diane's parents, hearing their daughter praising the Lord
over and over again, decided to join her in spiritual bliss. Upon entering
her room, however, they quickly realized that they did not just step into a
hallowed chamber, but one consecrated by Satan himself. Horrified
by what was transpiring upon Diane's bed, the Atrix's feared their daughter
had just brought damnation to the whole family. Not being able to harbor a
vessel of the Dark Lord, Mr. and Mrs. Atrix banished Diane and have been trying to get her
birth annulled ever since.
However, banishment did not have the effect Maggie and Jerry were hoping
for. Diane saw this as an opportunity with endless possibilities to explore.
She and Louigi soon split up and Diane began to experiment in ways that only
a big city could afford. She soon realized that she could make a very
comfortable living for herself by fulfilling the passions of others in
ways only she could manage.
Then one night, something went terribly wrong with one of her dates.
Severely beaten and left for dead, Diane had the incredible luck of being
discovered in an alleyway by an undercover cop posing as a homeless person.
She was rushed to the hospital and did not leave for a month.
Upon returning home, Diane realized that she was just the first in a string
violent crimes. It was here that Diane decided that she was never going to
be a victim again. On that very day, she vowed to protect those who would
otherwise suffer at the hands of hate and malice. She contacted the police
officer that brought her to the hospital and offered to act as bait. After
some initial hesitation, the officer finally agreed.
It was almost easy for her. Diane seemed to possess a certain insight into
the maniac's mind. After only two nights, he paid Diane another visit. She
wasn't afraid or even concerned. Diane knew that she was in control of the
situation and only smiled at her assailant as he drew his knife. Upon
hearing the screams, the police exploded from what seemed like the very
walls themselves to take down this vicious criminal. But what they soon
realized was that they were hearing the screams of the maniac, not those of
Diane. Seeing the police, the maniac begged them for protection in between
his screams of agony. The police could not understand what had happened. It
was though Diane simply watched the criminal collapse before her. They
dismissed it immediately when they realized the unstable mental condition
that the maniac appeared to be in as he kept yelling things about voices in
his head and how she put them there.
Knowing that she could have killed her two-time assailant, Diane was happy
that she did not become what she has now vowed to stop. Diane realized that
her parents were correct; she did, in fact,
find her calling. From that day forward, Diane would be known to the world
as Dominix!
