One of the guys in our group wants to play a pure mortal bartender of a supernatural bar that has a haunted refrigerator/ice maker.. that sometimes causes drinks to be ruined.

Kinda silly.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as Silly, but I know that I wouldn't be able to do it without making plenty of jokes based on the inspiration.

My character idea is basically a way for me to sort of copy the Ripple from Parts 1 and 2 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The Ripple is sort of like the "punching pressure points to make people explode" thing in Fist of the North Star, except that it's used against Vampires. And the characters "alter the wavelength of energy their bodies emit to match that of the sun" by altering their breathing pattern. They then punch Vampires and MAKE THEM EXPLODE. In game, the best I've come up with is someone who uses items like the Force Rings, except that they're brass knuckles or something that store sunlight. Really, I just want to punch vampires and make them explode/seriously burn them or whatever.

Still trying to figure out how to make a Stand.

Unless your GM runs without concequences for vampire its going to be hard to one hit explode vampires of any sort you can't store sunlight without being truelly happy so unless you have the aspect truely happy your best bet is a ring of fire (da da da dada).

You could take Holy Touch, and call it something different. That'll let you bypass the catch on Red and Black Courtiers, plus it'll make your attacks Weapon: 1.

You need Righteousness for Holy Touch, though.

I gm for a guy who plays an emissary of an unnamed god of shadows, but for some random reason, he decided that he could not see, hear, taste, or smell, and instead senses shadows around him. I compel this regularly (like when an ogre was breaking into his house and he couldn't hear the banging on the wall, so he had no idea anything was happening)

Given the Oblivion War, you could play some minor god that almost had faded away.  A new comic series comes out featuring him, it's popular enough to stick around, but it changes his nature.  His trouble would be "Bad Writing" and he'd have to take the aspect "Retcon" somewhere.

Edit: Hmm, or his trouble could be Fanfiction.

Oh, the poor, poor fellow.  Hmmm... so, if you escalated as per the optional rule, would the first escalation involve yaoi fanfic, and the second escalation involve a Twilight crossover?  Or maybe the other way around? *evil* ;D

Other aspects could be "Genre-Blindness" or "Wrong Genre Savvy"...
