Original Chuck (for the lactose intolerant:)
Basic Hustle version
[spoiler]
Edit: Added Greater Celerity.
Here's about where we are. Since custom items(even slotless versions of normal items) are taboo around here, I'll stick to what we've got.
Class Levels
Chuck is a Cleric 2/Crusader 1/Swordsage 4/Ruby Knight Vindicator 10/Contemplative 3, though not necesarily in that order.
1st level is Cleric, 20th level is Swordsage and Crusader before Ruby Knight.
A Few Good items:
A Belt of Battle(MIC 73)--12,000 gold. This allows Chuck to take a full-round action by activating the belt as a swift action.
Reliquary Holy Symbol(MIC 120)--1,000 gold. 2 more turn undead attempts for the bargain basement price of 1,000 gold.
Dorjes of Hustle x2(50 charges each)-12,000 gold. With ranks in Use Psionic Device(cross-classed) and a high Charisma, activation is guaranteed. Thanks to the Sage's ruling, activating of a spell-trigger item is the same action type as casting the spell. In this case, a swift action.
Circlet of Rapid Casting(MIC 86). 15,000 gold. 3 charges per day. Expend 2 charges to cast a spell of up to 3rd level as part of the same swift action required to activate the item, so long as the spell isn't longer than 1 standard action. Footsteps of the divine is a 3rd-level spell and a standard action.
Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend--3,000 gold. Can apply Extend Spell after Persistent Spell to Footsteps of the Divine.
Gloves of Storing(two gloves). 20,000 gold. Allow Chuck to use two Dorjes and not interfere with his ability to Tornado Throw or cast spells. Can draw them or store them as a free action(one per glove)
Sword of Crypts (Arms and Equipment Guide)--42,315gp
+2 Holy Longsword that gives 1 extra turn attempt each day, and adds +2 to turning damage
Very interesting. Since Chuck is a good-aligned Crusader, there's nothing wrong with him having a holy sword. And the Turn Undead use is nice. He can draw it as part of a move action and drop it as a free action if he must.
Scroll of Greater Visage of the Deity--3,825
+4 Cha = 2 extra turn attempts. Fly speed of double "normal" speed.
Cloak of Charisma+6--36,000. +6 Enhancement bonus to Charisma.
Tome of Leadership and Influence--137,500. +5 inherint bonus to Charisma.
Scroll of Greater Celerity--3000. Extra Full Round action, dazed afterwards. Swift action to use.
Spellsight Spectacles(MIC 138)--2500. +5 competence bonus on spellcraft checks to decipher scrolls and use magic device checks to use scrolls.
+5 Twilight Mithril Chain Shirt--37,100. No speed reduction, Armor Check Penalty or Arcane Spell Failure(for Arcane Scrolls).
Total spent: 325,240 gold
Remaining: 434,760 gold
Calculation of Swift Actions
DMM: Persistent Spell is 7 turn undead attempts and Divine Impetus is 1/additional swift action.
3+Cha+2(holy symbol)+1(Sword)+4X(Extra Turning feats)= number of turn undead attempts.
Max Charisma is 34 at level 20. 18 base+5 levels+5 tome+6 enhancement item. So that's +12 Charisma bonus.
After Greater Visage of the Deity, Charisma is 38, for a +14 Charisma bonus.
So 20+4X-7(persist)= number of extra swift actions.
This simplifies to 13+4X, where X is the number of Extra Turning feats.
Now to figure out the number of potential Extra Turning feats.
Feats
Human Persistent Spell
Planning Extend Spell
Undeath Extra Turning
1 DMM: Persist
3 Extra Turning
6 Leadership
9 Extra Turning
12 Extra Turning
15 Extra Turning
18 Extra Turning
So 6 Extra Turnings
24+13=37 extra swift actions.
Our cohort Max Turnage transfers his 45 turn attempts to us.
So 37+45=82 extra swift actions.
Using Our Extra Actions
Our free swift action will be to activate Circlet of Rapid Casting to cast Footsteps of the Divine as a swift action and then apply Persistent Spell via Divine Metamagic and finally Extend Spell via the Metamagic Rod of Extend.
Then we forego the remaining duration to increase our base speed to 288,080 ft for the rest of the round.
Our Standard action is using the Scroll of Greater Visage of the Deity, which gives +4 Charisma and a fly speed of double our "normal" speed. I'm using base speed as my working definition of normal speed and Chuck's base speed is 288,080 ft, since Footsteps of the divine actually increases base speed instead of applying a bonus.
Chuck's new fly speed is 576,160 ft.
Our move action will be to move 576,160 ft.
We have 82 free swift actions for Chuck to use, thanks to a high number of Turn Undead attempts and Ruby Knight Vindicator's Divine Impetus ability.
Chuck's first 79 will be used to activate the Dorjes of Hustle to move 79 x 576,160 ft.
Our next additional swift action will be using the Belt of Battle using all three charges to generate an extra full-round action to initiate Tornado Throw.
80 Chuck increments before the throws and 82 after.
Then, a swift action to recover Tornado throw.
Our last swift action to activate the Scroll of Greater Celerity for an extra full-round action to initiate Tornado Throw, again.
82 Chuck increments before the throws and 84 after.
Oh yeah, and he's dazed afterwards. Like you wouldn't be if you just hustled 9201 miles in six seconds and threw opponents around 230,464 times.
How Far, How Hard
A "Chuck Increment" is about 576,160 feet for a human, or 109.53 miles. This is how far Chuck can move in a single move action. He moves twice this distance when initiating Tornado Throw.
Starting
576160*80=46,092,800 ft(8762.88 miles)
46,092,800 ft * +2/5 ft = +18,437,120 to 1st trip check
18,437,120 ft thrown(3505.15 miles)
3,687,426 d6
12,905,984 avg. damage
15,487,180 with Aura of Chaos
Ending(after two Tornado Throws)
576160*84=48,397,440 ft(9201.03 miles)
48,397,440 ft * +2/5 ft = +19,358,976 to last trip check
19,358,975 ft thrown(3680.41 miles)
3,871,797 d6
13,551,289 avg. damage
16,261,547 with Aura of Chaos
(15,487,180 + 16,261,547) / 2 = 15,874,363 is about the average damage of a throw.
15,874,363 * 230,464 throws is 3,658,469,194,000 average damage.
3.65 trillion damage.
This beats the Hulking Hurler's damage record. Double-H's average damage is 1.10 Trillion and max damage is 3.88 Trillion--I gave the big guy a couple of items from the recent books to make it more of a fair fight.
There technically is no damage limit for us because of Aura of Chaos. But for the sake of having a number, without Aura of Chaos our maximum damage is 5.22 Trillion. Since we have to roll 871 billion d6's, if we had a billion monkeys in a billion parallel universes each rolling 871 billion d6's every second it might still take a billion billion millenia to happen once. 1 in 6^871,000,000,000 is worse odds than playing the lottery in the Nine Hells.

Advanced (Uses Magic Item rules for Infinite Staff of Greater Celerity and gets daze immunity from a spell...though it could just as easily use two 50 charge staffs if repeatability is not a goal)
[spoiler]Disclaimer: The following build uses a custom magic item and as such is subject to DM fiat. For the CO-board endorsed build, see page 11.

Reliquary Holy Symbol(MIC 120)--1,000 gold. 2 more turn undead attempts for the bargain basement price of 1,000 gold.

Circlet of Rapid Casting(MIC 86). 15,000 gold. 3 charges per day.

Total spent: 482,340 gold
Remaining: 277,660 gold
Calculation of Swift Actions
82 extra swift actions, as on page 11.
Using Our Extra Actions
Round 1: Favored of the Martyr as a standard action, activate Circlet of Rapid casting in conjunction with DMM: Persist and Lesser Metamagic Rod of Extend to cast Extended Persistent Footsteps of the Divine as a swift action.
Round 2:
We forego the remaining duration to increase our base speed to 288,070 ft for the rest of the round.
Our Standard action is using the Scroll of Greater Visage of the Deity, which gives +4 Charisma and a fly speed of double our base speed. Since Footsteps of the Divine actually increases base speed instead of applying a bonus, Chuck's new fly speed is 576,140 ft.
Our move action will be to move 576,140 ft.
Our Sfree wift action will be to Run 2,880,700 ft(547.66 miles)
We have 82 free swift actions for Chuck to use, thanks to a high number of Turn Undead attempts and Ruby Knight Vindicator's Divine Impetus ability.
Chuck's first 37 will be used to activate the Staff of Greater Celerity to move 37 x 5 x 576,140 ft, which is 106,585,900 ft (20,263.47 miles)
Our next additional swift action will be using the Staff to generate an extra full-round action to initiate Tornado Throw.
Our remaining 44 swift actions will be used to alternate between recovering Tornado Throw and activating the Staff of Greater Celerity to initiate Tornado Throw.
How Far, How Hard
A "Chuck Increment" in this case is about 576,140 feet for a human, or 109.53 miles. This is how far Chuck can move in a single move action. He moves twice this distance when initiating Tornado Throw and five times this distance with the Run action.
1 + 38 x 5 = 191 CI before the first trip.
191 + 23 x 2 = 237 CI before the last trip.
Since damage increases linearly I'll take the average of the two as average throw damage.
Starting
576140*191=110,042,740 ft(20,920.67 miles)
110,042,740 ft * +2/5 ft = +44,017,096 to 1st trip check
44,017,095 ft thrown(8368.26 miles)
8,803,421 d6
30,811,973 avg. damage
36,974,368 with Aura of Chaos
Ending(after twenty-three Tornado Throws)
576140*237=136,545,180 ft(25,959.16 miles)--around the equator, I believe.
136,545,180 ft * +2/5 ft = +54,618,072 to last trip check
54,618,070 ft thrown(10,383.66 miles)--a journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single throw. It ends with a crater.
10,923,616 d6
38,232,656 avg. damage
45,879,187 with Aura of Chaos
(36,974,368 + 45,879,187) / 2 = 41,426,777 is about the average damage of a throw.
41,426,777 * 2,650,244 throws is 109,791,069,000,000 average damage.
109.79 trillion damage.*
