D&D 5E Need help picking a forgotten realms deity for a divine soul multiclass

[ECMO3]

I need help picking a Deity to fit into a characters story when I triple class her into Divine Soul.

I have a character (Chaotic Good human Rune Knight with a Rogue dip) who is a mercenary background, she was part of the Chill mercenary company in campaigns in the North and fought several campaigns against Giants as a Chill sellsword. She is a strength fighter S18/D14/C14/I13/W10/Ch13. She has unarmed fighting style and Tavern Brawler feat. Most fights she starts off with an unarmed attack and bonus action grapple and then sometimes draws a Rapier for her 1d6 sneak attack damage.

I want to triple class her into a divine soul sorcerer down the road. Mostly because we have no cleric or healer in the party and a bit of healing would help a lot. I am going to tripleclass at level 8 (1 Rogue/6 Rune Knight/1 sorcerer)

I am having trouble picking a God to fit into her story. What God would favor her? Maybe Tempus, the god of battle? Maybe one of the Gods of Orcs or Goblins from her time in the Chill, would they favor a human and a good human at that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps more pertinent: which "cosmic force" does the character concept embody?

Healing itself can be a cosmic force. But the Rune Knight seems more about the body and the elements.

Maybe the character concept reveres the way the elements combine to bring forth and sustain life?

As a sorcerer, this is innate magic, where the body itself is like a magical machine that the character can "pilot". So the body is sensitive to these life-giving elements.

The concept that body itself comprises the elements in lifegiving combinations, correlates somewhat with the Unarmed Combat, using the body to fight.

In sum, the body itself as living machine is a sacred "cosmic force".

The gods work in mysterious ways!

Tempus sounds like a reasonable option. Bahgtru or Ilneval from the orcish pantheon could work as well. Maglubiyet may not be the best choice, unless you want to go with a "why did this god choose me?" angle.

Torm could be another option.

I would look mostly to alignment. You're Chaotic Good. Not too many gods have that alignment:

Selune, Sune and Tymora come to mind.

I would pick one of those. Instead of choosing a god that describes the combat-stats of your character, you get a god(dess) that allows you to get a little extra flavor for roleplay.

Maglubiyet may not be the best choice, unless you want to go with a "why did this god choose me?" angle.

There are actually two Goblin PCs in the party but both of them have odd backstories and they did not grow up in Goblin communities, so my character has probably spent more time around Goblins than either of them.

One of them in particular gre up in a monestary and has no experience with other Goblins except for the other PC he met. He actually has a "searching for his roots" motif going and is constantly asking questions about Goblins both of me and of the other Goblin PC. I might be able to work that - Maglubiyet wants me to "bring him back to the fold"

The obvious fit to me would be Tymora, CG goddess of "luck, victory, skill, patron of adventurers and warriors" (to quote the original FR boxed set, which also recommended her as a patron deity for both CG fighters and CG thieves).

Tempus would be a reasonable choice, too.

And rune magic automatically brings to mind Deneir, NG god of glyphs and writing, patron of scribes.

Good idea. Tymora sounds like a decent choice.

The best answer is always Ubtao.

When in doubt, always go the dinosaur route.

Actually the Character is originally from Chult, she traveled to Baldur's Gate to try to join the Flaming Fist and when they would not have her she was picked up by the Chill. So there actually is a tie in here.
