Decide Alignment for me?

So I rediscovered the drowssap to a noob account recently, that hasn't been played in over 700 days before I rediscovered this. I've decided to repeat all my favorite content on this account... that of course being LORE! QUESTS!

but... I don't want her to be the same. I want her to be independent of Sepulchre. I want her to follow a different path.. a different god. I want her "alignment" to be different.

As one can probably tell, I am a Zarosian... Both in-character and RL. Honestly, my RL self believes a lot of things he says can be applied to the Real World, and I tend to lean towards him even out-of-character.

That's where this thread comes in.. I want someone to convince me! Convince me to follow their god (or a god, not necessarily the one you follow). I'd prefer one with a Title that relates to them (Sliske, Seren, Armadyl, Saradomin, Bandos, Zamorak, Godless..) but one that isn't Zaros.

P.S. Yes, This is a moral dilemma thread. Don't judge me.

Edit: drowssap backwards is still censored. Jagex, get with the times.

Read my signature =p. Instead of mindlessly following the descisions others make for you, make your own and choose your own path on what is right and wrong. If you agree with some of the views of particular gods, that is great. But instead of putting your own choice out of the equation by then following said god completely, just cooperate with that god when your views align.

Most so-called gods in runescape are not any different from mere mortals in that their views can not be distinguished as black and white as right and wrong. Therefore you should treat them likewise, helping them whenever you feel what they are doing is just and pointing out their mistakes. In doing so, you will be following your own morals and not turn into a pawn of their games.
In fact if anything this is as close as you can get to what the intention of being a World Gaurdian (and more importantly, yourself!) is ;)
I actually considered that maybe my character should be one of those... "I follow everybody, so I always win no matter who wins." people.

but there is always that last one, the option not to join any.
Well wtf Jagex. add more of them. It's not that hard. LOL

I've loved the responses so far, but sadly it hasn't given me much cause to decide. Ironically enough, the only followers of one God who have given actual reasoning are the Zamorakians. A

Go Brassican.

You get to be wacky and a bit insane. It's the polar opposite to the overly seriousness of being Zarosian.
This is a VERY good point.

Hahahah, that's true. My favorite anime/cartoon characters are usually the arrogant jerkoffs tho. Seto Kaiba, Vegeta, Alexander Anderson, Raphael from the Turtles, the Scarecrow in Batman...

Which makes me afraid I'll become a Saradominist. :| LOOOOL

You get a Zaradosianist.
Somebody in T.S.P suggested you get "imperials" for some reason, idk if he means in terms of that it would be ultra-order or either referencing another franchise. Both gods practice "end justifies the means" to some degree, one does it behind the scenes and the other does it out in the open.

If Saradomin goes in the direction of becoming his "envoy" it would mean he gets a say in how his "empire" is run and can use the military behind the scenes. But only examples of factions that mix order and control I've seen in other franchises are "The Enclave"(science/behind-the-scenes scheming, idealism and military power all in one), etc. However I think Xau-Tak might take that up as its alignment first before you do.
When I saw your name, I was expecting a very convincing argument on why I should join Saradomin. I'm actually kinda disappointed...

I plan on playing all of the lore content with the account, for the record.

Even more interesting responses.. Though I'm afraid all it's done is really point out my problem. I was looking for people to convince me why I should join (insert god name here).

Though it seems most of it has been people debating about the exact issue. Ultimately following an Elder God would be pointless, as once she learns of the Great Revision, that's out the window... Bandos tries to kill you (twice) in the Goblin quests, and following a god that tries to kill me... no. Just no. So THAT would be out the window before he even returns.
Honestly at this point I'm torn between Saradomin, Zamorak, Godless, and the Pantheon. That or just being a character who sides with whoever offers her the most at the time...

I don't know nearly enough about the Queen of Ashes to consider making a character follow her yet. Besides, being compared to Bandos, Tuska, and the apparently all-seeing, all-knowing Xau-Tak doesn't get my hopes up on her being a God worth following. I don't want to follow a God that we will eventually have no choice but to directly defy. (Bandos in the Cave Goblin series, the Elder Gods in the Elder Gods series, Xau-Tak in the Pirate series, Amascut in the Desert Series, etc.) A

Hmmm, though lately I've been talking a lot about Balance...

I think I've finally gotten it down to Saradomin, Guthix, and being a free agent. Just need a bit more leaning on one of those directions..

I think.... Argh. I can't decide still. I never thought this would be such a tough decision. I call for a vote!
1.
Saradominist
(3. Took one away because Raleirosen wants to be a jerk :( )
2.
Godless
/
Guthixian
(3)
3.
Free Agent/Unaligned
(3)

EDIT: And to all the Lore FC regulars... while this may seem weird.. let me know in the FC what your vote is, if you'd prefer! Anybody else can feel free to PM me ingame as well! Either on this account or on the account this thread is dedicated to: iDebrutsid. Subsequent edits are vote counts!

Corrected.

I will not vote, since I don't think you should decide your faction based on other players votes.
Who said the one with the most votes would win? ;)

It's fun being a paladin though. Everyone loves slaying demons and vampyres, and helping a god of good. :P

Besides, whatever you might think of Saradomin, his faction is great for cosplaying. Everyone likes being a hero, and even then it's possible to be a Saradominist villain if you choose, thanks to H.A.M.
The H.A.M. are just racists.. and I am not okay with racism.

I can't help it. You already know my that sanity and perspective makes Brassica Prime look normal.
Yeah, seriouslee...
Why so serious? *Creepy smile*

I think at this point, Free Agent is the way to go. "Follow" whichever god happens to fit my purposes most at the time. :P A

No, I did a playthrough of a single player RPG (Dragon Age: Origins) along those lines, and it felt... unsatisfying. I enjoyed it a lot more when I did a playthrough with a clear idea of my character's personality traits/faction loyalties.
Then what do you suggest, Circuit? (as if the answer isn't seemingly obvious...)

What if it's possible too that Xau-Tak and her are at war with each other and her "fire" is the counter to Xau-Tak's "corruption" and whatever she deems similar?

Xau-Tak I can imagine fitting a kind of "lawful evil" trope and her "chaotic-good/anti-hero" trope stereotypically.
C'thulhu vs. Queen of Ashes? RIP Queen.
All praise mighty Xau-Tak.
