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.. You might want to also consider thinking about "V" though he is dead and most likely will be but idk. He is like in the middle of the spectrum between Guthixian stuff and Saradomin's sheriff/hunting of active threats stuff. i don't about V to be honest, he was EXTREMELY hypocritical and imo he came off as snobby and overly heroic. he felt like a cheap knock off version of saradomin. OP should stick with the original
one true god
;) (if that becomes your choice after all)

The dual cases of Bandos and V lead me to believe that Jagex thinks that whenever they kill off a god (that isn't Guthix), they can just release some damning new lore that retcons them into being hypocritical losers and thus make everything a-okay.

Bandos: epitome of natural selection, the strong take power for powers' sake, utterly ruthless warrior god with no conscience
>TMF memories reveal he was actually a scheming coward who almost never took risks that endangered himself

V: the "hero" god, combination of Guthix/Saradomin/Zamorak, brings people up by inspiring them to acts of valor, a generally amiable Fremennik dude
>god book reveals that he was a hypocritical schemer who was planning multiple murders with malice aforethought

Looks like the beginning of a pattern, huh? Both are effectively worse (and more dead) versions of Zaros. V is especially hilarious, given the addition of a posthumous emissary. Can only interpret that as a good joke by Jagex. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

If pushing some kind of plot is all that it takes to be a version of Zaros, then a lot of people are versions of Zaros.

On topic with the thread: I say don't go with any dead god, OP. You get into the whole issue of "Do I support him before/after he's dead?" Not to mention the issues with Bandos being the villain in the Cave Goblin series. ^ "Some of those words were

3. Reason? Well think about it this way, Guthix Trusted you for a Godless world, grant it to him, make the world he wanted, he has a point, even Seren agrees with his view, so does V. And Tuska come even proved one thing. If a God ever threaten Gielinor, Mortals can unite to do their work. And Vorago can take care of them.

The way I see it, V is sort of a fusion between Guthix and Seren. V believes no gods should rule Gielinor. He prefers to be identified as a hero than a god. He believes everyone should become a hero/rolemodel and encourage others to follow in each individual's footsteps. Doing so, will better society as a whole. V has a black and white morality, however, and he is very hypocritical indeed. He believes Zamorak is an enemy or "the bad guy" like some superhero comic book. While he may look at Zamorak as a villain, others may look up to him as a hero. Zamorak is a freedom fighter, does not believe in laws or government, anarchist. Some people may find this actually heroic. V's interpretation of a "hero" is just too restrained and limited ,imo. I worship Mah, for she is mah homegirl! The correct adjective for Mah's followers are: Mahomies, Mah-homeboys, or Mah-homegirls.

There is also the possibility of being Zamorakian. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to run around wrecking stuff, pillaging everything in sight just for the sake of destruction. There are ways of doing good things while being Zamorakian, such as freeing prisoners and opposing strict, suffocating regimes. Plus if this was applicable in the Farming skill, you could set fire to your crops or let them rot, instantly composting the patch ready for the next seed. Then there's the thrill of running into danger and being a hero of sorts, even though you're siding with a god commonly showcased to be evil. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!
