Some expectation of lorewise consistency.

The faction lorewise has been inconsistent with interaction, because rarely is every encounter the same. When we shot the order, BD| got pissed, and then my radical character "Katsuki Hanako" did damage control and went peaceful diplomat with her allies.

Recently an interaction popped up where the Coalition built a base in Kyushu or is building one, and the response was immediately go to war with BD| if they refused to remove the abomination, my character fell into silence, unwilling to kill her ally and fall back on pacifism to search for answers in Matsuda's text.

The faction's own lore remains consistent, but interactions change on a case by case basis, as any faction would very well know. A faction that never brings anything new to the table and remains predictable in every circumstance is a faction nobody will be interested in, just like characters without any dynamic quirks or depth of character will not be interesting to anyone.

That's not the faction being inconsistent, that is a senior member of the group attempting to clean up a mess that absolutely nobody on either side wants to deal with. Said senior member had made personal friendships with the Dragon members in question, all easily found in existing roleplay. You did a good job with her, any faction would do well with a character like her in its roster.

Compare to: "I am a former KSP officer who won't fight other KSP if I can help it." as a backstory. It's passable, and gives the character some depth, but KSP has for literal decades had a "we kill every GC who falls into our power out of hand" policy in infocards, and GC routinely has to screen out female infiltrators from the Kusari authorities in news articles. To flat-out admit to being police personnel should invite far more scrutiny than what we are seeing. Again, I am not telling people "how to RP", I am merely pointing out that with the lore given, such a character would appear sketchy to the actual literal cult that is GC. It is ultimately Meg's faction, but I fear that the newbies are in for a rude surprise down the road when they apply their flawed understanding of the canon lore (some of which Meg is actually rewriting) unless Meg puts together some sort of "GC introductory booklet" or something for them to read before they roll up their characters.

(I would have done it myself, but Meg definitely isn't sharing those new infocards she wrote with me now >.<)

"She prefers not to kill her erstwhile colleagues if she can avoid it, but the consequences for her family would be severe if she were ever properly identified. She will fight on their behalf even as they think her dead."

Its a KSP pilot that turned against the KSP and saved a couple of GC pilots while doing so. But by this logic your own character is sketchy aswell as being a daughter of a Hogosha family. Also prefering not to fight someone is not the same as not fighting someone.

And don't worry, I educate my members well on the lore.

Also:
In order to serve our cause, you must pass the Trial of Severing. Do you agree to pass the trial?: Yes

Do you agree to have your character addicted to cardamine?: Yes

"GC routinely has to screen out female infiltrators from the Kusari authorities in news articles"
Done.

Then I will leave them in your hands. I look forward to interacting with your members on a character who isn't psycho Chihaya.

Also Chihaya killed her father specifically because she disagreed with how the Hogosha does business, and didn't want to be married off like chattel, so by the logic you have presented, every GC member in existence would have been subject to scrutiny, unless GC members just come out of the void with no previous baggage.
