The last thread got stale, so I baked anew. This bread is filled with nuts, so it might aggravate allergies or bother anons with sensitive teeth.
Seriously though this is an RP thread; you've been warned.

GM, do you have any non-mathematic tips for maintaining a consistent character? Without being possessed by a tulpa that ends up being someone else's waifu.

I'm not sure I understand the opposition to homo. Unless you're doing math and making flow charts for a D&D character who is supposed to be random. That's just fucking gay

Alright, setting aside the autism for a moment.
There are a couple ways Tracy can do the whole Ghost-Rider chain thing. For one she already has, what was it, 10 sets of +5 golded spiked chains? The easy way then is learning to animate the chains which can easily be done w/ telekinetics or magic (not necessarily spells either, items work just as well). Getting the chains to distort (lengthen, shorten, get more bladed) is trickier, but also possible. FULL ON ghost-rider shit WILL require a bit of intervention, which happens to fit with the theme of an upcoming segment which I spent all day devising. ^_~
Trump I'm a little surprised by recently, but the given explanation makes perfect sense. Part of the problem is that Trump is having to recognize that the line between good/evil is far more grey than is often touted. Still, he is the daddy-to-be of,... who fucking knows at this point.
Torcuil, would anon be offended if I said I would like to see more of him? I'll admit, when the meme magician idea first came up I was a little shaky on how it would work and didn't respond as effectively as I could (step on snek, for example). Still, in addition to memes he has the staff which at the very least has a few unlimited casts of basic spells.
Infernius,... you bastard. You rotten bastard. <sigh> I'll say that you've put me in an awkward position. The rest will play out as it does.

I mean, like with the banshee wail I have a much better understanding of how to incorporate memes as stand-alone magic and/or references to established spells. Basically, I'm owning up to having not fully prepared for a meme magician in previous.

To your earlier question of consistent RP'ing. You're already wet son, you might as well swim. I doubt you'll end up with a Tracy inna head, but there must be some reason you picked her and are able to play her authentically. Play off that if you can. Besides, no one said that Tracy can't evolve, you are her faggot atm.

P.S. Though not Tracy's OC, the way of the game is that this all occurs after Tracy has died, meaning its outside her OC's purview. Just saying.

>"good and evil is grey"
Where is the grey here?
First of all, when you're dealing with people you're forced to work with, it's a question of "do I trust them or do I not trust them." A yes or no question. And Tracy fails this, because she lies to him, she steals, and she just shrugs off exhortations to fight on behalf of the country.
She was cold to him when he rescued her, she was more interested in the blood than him when she was unconscious, she was more interested in running away, she fought both Trump and Inferius, she stole shit, she lied about it. Generally she's expressed far more interest in becoming this demon-thing than in him. Her motivation is pursuit of power. That's dangerous, and he can't control her like he used to through her obsession, because she doesn't care as much anymore. She did not seem interested in talking to him prior to going on the journey.
I had originally thought of making the treasure hunt sort of a test of character for Tracy. If she steals and then lies, she fails, and if she does not steal, or steals but is honest, then she passes. But frankly that's entrapment, not a test, because it is so remarkably obvious that she'd fail and fail big league.
>But she's been helpful so far
Have you ever had the misfortune of working around untrustworthy people? They are cowardly. They will support you and help you when you are strong ad when things are going well. They strike you only when you are in your most desperate moments. They wait to attack you until you have been knocked straight down on the ground. They are much worse than enemies.
The biggest problem with Tracy is that she is constantly and perpetually growing more powerful. Meaning if she needs to be stopped - and every indication is that she will be - it'll be much harder to do later than it will be to do now.
The same thought process happened with Thez. When Trumpaladin saw Thez kill and eat the face off of a seemingly innocent person, he figured she needed a good killin'. He stopped when he figured he was unlikely to win the battle, with the intent to wait until she was distracted in the city and perhaps guards would attack her. After that, he figured she was useful. When she killed the horse, he was pissed off at her again and wanted to send Tracy to injure her (she found Trollestia instead). After that point, he sort of figured that she wasn't an active threat, and was probably essential for the final leg of the game.
Tracy being pregnant is frankly just insulting, because his attempts to save her from corruption and return her to her former self failed spectacularly
I can go on and on, but I think it's really obvious

>where's the gray
You asked for it,....
>cracks knuckles
Classically, the issue of "good" or "evil" has boiled down to the individual's motivations: Service to Self or Service to Other.
Tracy as a character AND an OC kinda straddles that line, in that while her immediate motivations are observably Service to Self, her underlying motivations are vengeance, justice, and malicious destruction upon those who she sees (and in some cases are, though perhaps not to the degree of severity that she sees them) as being predatory, themselves malevolent, or just plain stab-worthy.
While the situational motivator for her is obviously self-interest, there's a degree of 'not-self' interest, in that she is aware (to whatever degree of non/sub/full-consciousness) that though it is satisfying to stab someone for whatever reason, she is both alleviating the need for someone else to stab them, as well as eliminating the circumstances which would result if they were allowed to continue unstabbed.
Tl:dr Yes, Tracy is pathological, but she seems to target more or less pathological individuals.

>waits for happenings
<cont> This is the reason Thez took such a liking to her initially. She's not conflicted when it is apparent that there is a threat, and she's merciless to whatever the threat may be. She COULD work on the dividing line between threat and non-threat, and probably will do so as her priorities change WRT recent developments. Also, Tracy's pathology was affected by character etymology, specifically relating to reproduction and all that, which seemed something deprived of her; the sudden change will also have (admittedly, chaotic in the least) repercussions that neither she nor her faggot anticipated.
In the same sense that Trump is freaking out, so is Tracy. To the ones outside the freak-out it appears madness, but to the one experiencing there IS a method.

And... I haven't seen a damned bit of that in game play. I've seen a character who was formerly like my ex-girlfriend (yandere, clingy, irrationally jealous) who has transformed into Anakin Skywalker in a quest for power.
>Target's pathological individuals
She targets, and targets simply, "like a shark." No justice, no vengeance, no anger. Only the desire to kill for the sake of killing. Oh, and a desire to kill romantic rivals, but that's another story

True, this is all developmental psychology. A Tracy such as this doesn't just <poof> there's a psychotic hoers, there is a chain of events that leads up to it, as well as a number of catalysts and inner developments. Her fixation on Ghost Rider is a dead giveaway, in that GR is something of an antihero, more vigilante than outright protagonist except with a legit mandate.

Put simply, She likes to kill and burn and stab because, well, she's Tracy. She used to be super obsessive of Trumpaladin to the extent that she could be relied on for pretty much anything. That's not true any more - she can't be relied on, but still wants to dominate him and harm every female he touches. But most of all she wants power, and she's willing to harm whatever need be harmed to gain power. And when a creature already wats to kill for pleasure, or dominate you, or kill your allies, that's not grey. That's black. Jet black.

By the way GM, I have a few questions. First off, that weapon killing weapon, about how many hits or wjat sort of dice rolls does it need to be effective? Is it effective against all weapons, less so against some?
The revival system. How does it work, and how portable is it?
Fae. How loyal is she? This should probably be RP'd out, but I have a whole new set of driving-hundreds-of-miles-then-flying-thousands-of-miles-then-back-again-tomorrow.

Such a shame really. If Tracy were as obsessive as she were at the beginning of the game, and a little more honest, she'd be a great mount

Weapon hit points are determined by thickness and material composition (volume and harness). A basic heavy mace has a hardness of 10 and HP of 10, meaning that another weapon needs at least a hardness of 10 to do damage. Sugoito has a hardness of 25 (adamantine is 20). Damage is as per normal.

A lot of it's just edge for the sake of edge, but this is certainly true to a certain extent.
Most artists just set her on characters that seem stab-worthy at the time, like a memetic attack dog (not an artist, but this includes me as well. I started shipping them because of her association with Death): in this, she reflects the vengeful edge of 4chan culture; like how faggots on /mlp/ keep talking about killing the characters they don't like. Because she represents the boards collective rage, especially infamous characters, like Flash Sentry, are also often depicted with her. She's also considered the Grim Reaper of OCs, killing various OCs that somehow manage to be less original than her.
The idea to ship her, instead of having her kill him (for now), was just my own touch. Basically a new way for an unoriginal April Fool's joke of an OC to have a role on this April Fool's joke of a board.

Fae can go a number of ways. She was intended to be a proper, distinguishable, and useful mount, but I suppose she is as easily canned and replaced.

I call upon thee, D&D autist: what are Trumpaladin's classes, prestige or whatever. Assume points are mostly allocated for the duel goals of being a pope and being a president, and constant grinding for strength points (playing football), diplomacy (making deals), and religion (football again). I guess also more general charisma in much less common speeches (assume maybe 4?)

That sounds like High Proslytizer.
If you take the Required leadership feats, you could easily take the epic prestige class upon level-up (or we could just bullshit it and assume you took all the leadership feats before level-up, so you could have two levels in it.) Technically, you need to have really high knowledge of nature to take it, but Football is nature anyway.
The other perfect prestige class for a Paladin is Divine Emissary.
Both classes would give you Yuge access to Divine Spells.

This isn't DnD anyway; it's Mixed Nuts: there's no need to be rigid, so long as the memes are good.
Also, GM, please check me for bullshit. I really will buff Tracy into Darth Vader if left unchecked. I only just got into this, so I might be giving her more shit than is possible.
