Love the thread!! I think I said this before already.
They should certainly make a quest of the player's vback story... maybe not 200th quest (whcih is Elf), but maybe 300th quest?? xD
But this (below) is arguably your worst part

Sin Seer
I actually knew that, but I didn't remember that when I was making this thread. I would expect that this is same to all players, which indeed implies that the player character has done something horrible in their past; that may also be the reason why we haven't explored the player character's past: the sin caused them to flee from their hometown. Then again, we must remember that the determination of 'sin' is very loose and the Bible lists more than 650 sins, many of which aren't sins by modern description (such as astrology, philosophy, tattoos, jokes, complaining, fear and not being perfect) so it is possible that people commit things daily that Sin Seer counts as sin.
1. This is RS not Bible-Scape, don't even mention it
2. You don't need to reach for hypothetical sins or keep it in the unknown. Just look at the quest and combat requirements... to be able to talk to her we must at least have trained combat on a lot of innocent 'monsters'. Revive/Enhance Mage Arena God staffs!

Well... I was way too harsh anyway
Sorry.
Thank you for being so kind to me
Btw, you might say, 'I' also like a bottle of wine.
Examination of a Bottle of wine: "A very good vintage."
Also.. the point about the player being Saradominst... during some quests the player will say stuff that can also shed some light on the early religious persuasions. In most quest I think it's Saradominsts (like the player saying: ''But for the grace of Saradomin am I here now! I was attacked from behind.'' - during Darkness Of Hallowvale). Although I think this is similar to how we may say ''Oh, (my) God!''.
This ''Oh, God!'' thing is also said by secular people, so it can just be cultural. But since the player most likely grew up in a heavily Saradominist area some deviations of this could indicate a different persuasion. Then again, we must be careful because ''Zamorak's flaming nostrils! You believe this item exists?'' can also underline a Saradominist mindset, because Zamorak is largely depicted as evil and that fits the tone of the quote - imho. Anyway, interpretation is and stays difficult.
Come to think of it... I remember, I think it was the Nature Spirit quest, that the player seems to call for Guthix. Back in the day, Guthix used to be a more obscure god, so that could have indicated a more sincere persuasion, perhaps? But, regardless, I think the player is largely irreligious. Although I have no real quotes to back it up, the character certainly doesn't seem to strike me as some-one that went to church that often. The dialogue option seem to indicate that a little.. unlike Fred the Farmer, for example, who does include Saradomin in his usual way of talking. THe player refrains from it (for a roleplaying game design, it's an obvious take, but if we want to turn it into an argument for the player's (past) religious persuasion, I think it shows he's not a strong follower at least).
