The Pope of Crystal Dragon Jesus drapes himself in white robes, lives in a Shining City, and performs blessings every day. Yet, behind the scenes, he's manipulating the armies of competing nations into destroying each other so the mass deaths can fuel the sacrifice he needs to return the world to a "pure state" of an Earthly paradise.
This guy has about a dozen homes that he rotates among frequently. Each home has a Hacker Cave and multiple versions of each kind of Death Trap installed, as well as at least one Wall of Weapons. He has at least a hundred Survivalist Stashes, all stocked with more weapons, Supernatural Repellent and tools to build more Death Traps, among other things.
He never leaves home without his portable computer, his Parasol of Pain and his Knockout Gas canisters, the latter of which he has Acquired Poison Immunity to. He regularly needs to do an Extended Disarming when faced with a metal detector, but afterwards, he'll still have some non-metal weapons hidden on him. Meanwhile, the pile of weapons generated by the aforementioned Extended Disarming contain an alarming spectrum of weapons ranging from ones designed for quick kills to ones designed for torture.
He's Too Kinky to Torture but his Fighting Fingerprint is not from the Combat Sadomasochist archetype. Instead, he's a Combat Pragmatist who has no qualms about fighting dirty if that's what's needed to end the fight as fast as possible. He's The Anticipator, and/or an expert at Xanatos Speed Chess. For any given Reflexive Response that he notices, he'll quickly figure out how and when to exploit it, and he's mulled over a lot of reflexes already. He can ramble for hours on how to capture, torture or swiftly destroy any member of any species, to disturbing detail. When asked why he puts so much effort into being prepared to kill anything and everything at any time, he answers, "Because it's fun!"
See also Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, there's quite a few chapters where Harry demonstrates he can be this combination of tropes if he deems it necessary, usually his demonstrations are accompanied by a Sanity Slippage.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

Wow, talk about a necrobump. Nearly 2 years.

This game is a forum game version of the Just for Fun page, and I looked pretty thoroughly to see if it already exists. One poster names an operation between tropes, and the next says what trope/work/wacky hijink/character results.
Magnificent Bastard+Light Is Not Good
