I align with Endwyr and Seren.
I support Seren because:
1) She wants to protect people from the God Wars but also doesn't want them being too reliant on her. I've seen people say they aren't interested in Seren because she only cares for the elves, but I think that's a good thing because seeking more worshippers and power is the primary cause of the God Wars raging across the Multiverse. How much power a god has is less important than how they use that power.
2) Philosophically I align more with the Godless in their desire to stop the God Wars, like Seren, (or at least get them to move it off the planet), but the fact they're just regular mortals means they probably won't achieve their goals. Aligning with Seren at least offers divine support, and the potential for alternative plans.
3) Almost everything wrong with Gielinor is the fault of the gods and/or their worshippers.
4) I respect Seren for the fact she can get the others to stop bickering, sit down and talk to each other; and also because she genuinely cares for mortals, rather than viewing them simply as tools for her own use.

If Seren wasn't around and since Guthix is dead, I would support Marimbo (if she had an emissary) for all the same reasons. I also wish she'd come back and knock some sense into Ape Atoll and teach them to not be so uptight and to trust other races, haha. Another reason Marimbo gets my vote is, should the wars get worse, she is willing to take her followers and anyone else who doesn't want to participate elsewhere to start over. Imagine a big ol' party planet where everyone gets along. Since ending them altogether is very unlikely, the only way to survive the God Wars is to not take part. Look at the gnomes, dwarves and the elves during the Third Age.

-Is there anything about your own faction you dislike or disagree with?
Not that I can think of.

For me, it has been Zaros for almost as long as I've played the game. I started 10 years ago and for about 8 I've been Zarosian. The only reason I wasn't Zarosian beforehand, was simply because I didn't know he existed, in which case, I was technically Godless, not in the conventional sense however,more like... If Zaros didn't exist, I would've used the Stone to become that timeline's equivalent of Zaros.

His goals and ideals match almost exactly with my own, however, of course, Zaros' motives weren't exactly very clear until FoTG. Before I knew Zaros' true ideology, I was drawn in by the charm of his followers, namely, Azzanadra, Wahiesetel and Akthanakos. Of course, not all were as friendly as these, but their combined interest in history, magic and their air of mystery all appealed to my character. I suppose in a way, it just felt right, I click with their personalities well and overtime, as I learnt more and more, by sheer luck and coincidence, the Zarosian ideology just do happened to match nicely with my own.

After restoring Zaros, and hearing it from the horse's mouth directly, my allegiance was permanently set in stone. My gut feeling paid off and I ended up in the faction that matches what I like.

But yeah, I guess my character was just drawn to it by a weird gut feeling. It just felt like the right path to take, the personalities worked with my own and in the end, the ideology was a fantastic match.
Now I daresay I could give Azzanadra a run for his money as Pontifex Maximus.

Even though OP doesn't check this thread anymore, Zaros.

Yeah, his spells and curses are the best. It used to be you knew absolutely nothing about him other than "he was evil." That's enough to get the edgelords (and ladies) interested. "This guy's evil and he was the most powerful spells and curses? I'm with him, he sounds awesome!"

Beyond that, I like how he's not like the other gods, in the sense that he was never mortal. I like the air of tragedy around him too, he used to rule over the greatest empire in all of existence, then he got betrayed, now the empire's gone, a sad pathetic shadow of its former self. You look at it and go "how the mighty have fallen." It's like the Roman Empire, at the peak of its power it was the greatest empire the world had ever seen.

I like how hyper rational he is and how he takes control. He's a strong leader, who doesn't like those?

If Zaros didn't exist, I'd go with Zamorak. I like how he's like "too much order breeds stagnation." He's right, too much order manifests as tyranny. Which is why we need a spark of chaos.

May be a tad bit useless since as Blue Rose said, Jexel seemingly doesn't check this anymore.. But for me, it's a tie between
Zamorak
and
Zaros
.

Zaros
because despite recent events making it seem like he has abandoned us, I believe he has gone to seek further help, further reinforcements if you will. I don't think he has truly abandoned Gielinor. (But if he has.. Then sign me up for Zamorak 100%, but it'll be best to wait and see for the time being...)

Zaros' philosophy of "use good and bad to forge yourself" is something that resonates with me quite a bit, which also somewhat ties into why I also like Zamorak (see below)

But the whole "control" side of him.. It just doesn't go well with me, as I love my own freedom, to do what I want, if I make a mistake then so be it, I'll try and learn from that.


as for
Zamorak
, it's.. a bit complicated, to say the least.. I do believe in his philosophy of self-improvement through obstacles and ambition (Somewhat like Zaros) and of course, chaos.

But as for other things, especially his example to Moia.. I'd personally say that's a bit of a grey zone for me..
I wouldn't necessarily commit arson just to give a person or a group of people a kick up the butt and get them to improve..
My methods would be more.. Subtle.. I'd probably assassinate a stagnant leader instead and let the oncoming chaos take its course, either getting involved indirectly or, as some Sliskeans might put it, "watching the fireworks from the rooftops, and eating popcorn while clapping and cheering at every large explosion"


If Zaros wasn't there, I'd pick Zamorak, and vice versa.

If niether existed, I'd possibly pick
Armadyl
since, as many people have mentioned, Zarosians and Armadyleans have some shared structure in their ideals, or so it seems.. 1/2 Self Improvement and Self Preservation are the highest of laws. To
learn
and
adapt
is to survive

2/2

While I really do not like the idea of the Armadyean afterlife.. (A risk to your sense of self? Infernus no.) I do believe in some things that are within Armadyleanism, and I have respect for Armadyl himself, though I'd prefer ways more suited towards individualism, rather than community. Self Improvement and Self Preservation are the highest of laws. To
learn
and
adapt
